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.

I remember Spook's threads about her horrible husband and his affair. I miss Pruni, Hunker, MotherInferior, CountessDracula, wickedwaterwitch, Marina, snafu, Mars, Tinker, princesspeahead, Edith, Aloha, fairyfly, custy...no idea if any of them are still here.

lavenderrrr, judge flounce, the bat...all good fun.

I lurk much much more than I post these days. MN used to be a place where you could actually laugh, connect with people and make friends; now it's just painful to read 90% of threads.

Wilf's Mum is definitely still around and still mentions him but not as much. I won't give her username obvs, but she's still around.

Vicar was still very much around last week, but flounced (again)

I firmly believe Mexican house thief was bollocks, as were the fat balls.

Some of my favourite threads were with Getorf. I was ridiculously chuffed when she named me as one of her favourite MNers.

I was part of a spin off after the NYE debacle along with Derek, Usual, Sparklingbrook, Honeydragon etc. Good people one and all.

MorningPaper's round-ups were magnificent.

And I owe a lot to people like Dittany.

Agree with previous comments about Cog, less so about WWIFN. She took over every relationship thread and projected her own, often irrelevant story onto it.

I can't quite remember when I first joined, certainly when we lived in Switzerland so probably about 15 years ago.
Our upstairs neighbour was the vilest person I had met until then. Our DD called her Kreeher, hence my old user name kreecherlivesupstairs.
I clearly remember Pinot et al cos I was a wolef.
Life moves on, we have been back in England for 9 years, but I recall yum yum Franky with fondness

I'm so glad those threads are remembered with fondness

Yeah vicar flounced (again ) after being flamed for a load of shite she didn't argue against ( me )

I'm very ill with spinal tuberculosis. And this place isn't what it was .

Well, in a splendidly serendipitous moment, I once made a PayPal payment on your behalf for something - a fundraiser or sponsor thing, and you sent it me in the post.

Can't remember the details, can you?
Probably 10 years back? I was in Italy.

The premise of those threads were it takes a village to raise a child - or look after each other

Fluffy took them over until she died .

I really am glad someone remembers those threads ! I'm still on sertraline and I still struggle with MH issues since those days I left dh
Been alone for many years now . And unfortunately my physical health took a hit thanks to "the job " and I'm undergoing chemo for tb of the spine .
It's been hard !
I miss this place so much at times .

@whenIwadafieldmyself.
Yes, vaguely. AFAIR, it was some wool.
Definitely wasn't for Eilish, I sent dvds directly to the hospital

Did Noddy die? How sad, if so. I joined in 2004 but always felt a bit on the outside as my children were all already quite old. It seemed to me everyone else was getting pregnant or giving birth ( remember the birth announcement threads?) and I felt a bit old. Noddy and I bonded a bit as she had a son the same age as mine.

Yes, sadly. Noddy passed away during COVID. Very sad indeed. She was a lovely person and I miss her.

I didn't realise Noddy had died either. RIP.

I'm sorry you're so ill, @penelopepipsqueak

That is sad. I have a feeling she lived in Brighton which was not far from me then? We never met as I wasnt brave enough for the meet ups, though, like others here, some Mners became good RL friends.

RIP Noddy.

DawnTigga was rude and awful

I'm sorry have we all forgotten the great penis beaker incident? That just ran & ran for months!

I received so much help and advice on here when I was struggling. So many funny threads kept me going.

I never got the COD adoration nor the AnyFucker fangirls. EatShitDerek, SparklingBrook and UsualSuspect I remember. Was there not something about EatShitDerek being banned at one point? I can’t remember the username of the person but there was a huge drama over a go fund me page when someone’s wife died.

I loved Crumbs too and their eccentric stores of the sheep adorned in Christmas lights at the Christingle service 😂

Caroline.
It was a scam.

Who was the one that we all thought was super rich in London and ot turned out to be fake?

And rich woman in France.

And marriedinwhite.
And there was a poster I really loved and agreed with her posts and can't for the life of me remember her name.

Not ages ago but a while back - the lady that got in the swimming pool after taking her swimming bottoms off?

The lady that worked in a bookshop had a baby the same night as me (I name change often)

Gosh so many years when may babies were small and I just can't recall names!

Oh and the o e that went on and on about not kneojg she was pregnant when she gave birth.

That turned out to be fake?

Thank you I couldn’t remember her name but I remember the threads ran for ages and there were photos on them. If I remember correctly he said there was a child involved too?

That was when it all started to change.

I'm so sorry, @penelopepipsqueak. I hope that you are making progress

Yeah Penis beaker was definitely the downhill moment for me.

15 years ago I felt like I "knew" or at least recognised posters.

Who was the one that we all thought was super rich in London and ot turned out to be fake?

Was that not Crumbs?

There was also a lady whose daughter did dancing, I loved reading her threads.

It was shit. Fuck knows how it dragged on for so long.
