MN the old days

[Boredasshit]

What are your most remembered threads or posters ?

I know this has been done before but I'm bored shitless.

That pic of twrrtwoganscock 😂😂

www.styleforum.net/threads/terry-wogan-busting-out-of-his-moleskins-on-bbc.46768/ hahahah

I'm showing my age

Some of the nicknames the contestants were given had me howling. I've just remembered NanFucker!

I had forgotten I’d ever seen Terry Wogan’s cock until this thread

And that's why we're here

Oh yes! NanFucker 😂😂😂😂

Too many to mention over the years, but I did like the Rhubarb and Custardo friendship.

Not intended to be unkind, but I also didn’t understand the Cod love either. I used to amuse myself by thinking “here come the Tena Ladies, wetting and falling over themselves to snortle over every one of Cod’s posts”. Quite bizarre.

DawnTigga’s sign-offs used to amuse me, but others sometimes commented unkindly about it.

Also I recall Shine… something to do with a crazy diamond, or something.

The above are just named that came to mind today.

I was fb friends with shiney for a long time but someone stalked me from here in RL and I came off fb .

MN used to be very funny but too cliquey.
It's bigger now, rarely funny and much meaner. I'm flouncing in September.

I can't remember when I joined, but it must have been around the start. I was panicking because DS was skiving school and was set to fail every GSCE. He is 32 now.

I remember a couple of years ago 90% of mumsnet thread had a comment from Bluntness and she suddenly disappeared about a year back

*threads

It sounds like it was a lovely place to be a part of back then. If you all had to recommend any thread for newer members to go back and read, what one would you choose?

Mexican House Thief, about halfway down...

The Korean lady

Just have a mooch around in the older mumsnet classics , there’s some absolute belters in there

I’m Angela Hernandez

Was it AtYourCervix with the YOUR MINGE post? I remember laughing and laughing. I think just, if you've been that tired, you can really imagine doing it; that's why it hits: the horror of recognition.

Lots of old and recognisable names. - it’s less funny now and agree there’s less solidarity

MN is a lot more depressing these days. The light heartedness and fun has disappeared.

Definitely less cliquey, but definitely less fun. Agree that the lightheartedness is gone. Posters either snarling from the off, and so much tone policing. Everything seems to be problematic.

Biscuitsandbandages still upsets me. Her little crumbs will be getting bigger.

There were 2 posters who were very similar that I remember I think one was ‘ghost spirit’ and the other ‘hedgehog’ or something similar. Both had lots of children and lots of issues, both seemed a bit lost and in need of support but regularly got a hard time on here . I often wonder if they are still around or if their lives got any easier

I always really admired cogitoergosometimes responses on threads- she was always sensitive and spoke a lot of sense to me. Was sad when she seemed to disappear
