@Sparklingbrook @iCod are names that make me smile with glee!

Been ‘ere since 2008 but you won’t know me as I a) have name changed and b) was / am small fry.

Good to see you both. Just need @cupcakesandbunting and my weekend would be complete.

It’s all different, and I don’t want to be an old fart and say negative stuff, but I Think that the #BeNice has been to the detriment of the wit of the site

I just want to see (and laugh like in the old days) a badly typed wickedly witty sentence from you.
You cheered me up so much back then when my kid was a fucking nightmare!
Now nearly 19!!

2004 for me. I preferred your misspellings.

Your cat, had a mmm Italian name? Cirocco or something? It will come back to me.

PermanentTemporary · 27/03/2022 21:58

Oh good lord. Sight for sore eyes

Maggiesgirl · 27/03/2022 21:58

Bloody hell, your back! I've had a name change but live near you.

Yellowleadbetter · 27/03/2022 21:58

Back in those dark days, you were sometimes the only thing that made me smile.

This is very very old . . Do you remember when there was a section where members could post pictures of their children? (Seems so old fashioned now). There was a behind the scenes plan to be rude about a poster's children's photo (with her knowledge) everyone was outraged. Seems so bizarre now, but THAT was funny.

N0RKS · 27/03/2022 21:59

Bloody hell!

Is this really true? Your autocorrect must be exgphausted

Many in the same day. It’s quite revealing that one of them was arguidaCod during the whole McCann thing. Awful really.

You kind of can. You just have to call someone a really lovely dick rather than just dick.

I think that people take MN way too seriously these days. That's the difference for me.

You often posted a photo of a crow or something?

The funniest time I ever had on this website where I thought I would die was when somebody posted pictures of the office work party and we made up stories of everybody.

And the photographers website crashed and he got really shirty and came on to complain
