The long lasting chicken meal and other MN legends [light hearted]

[Thisismyfinesthour]

Most MN know that a chicken can feed a family of 6 over several meals. What is your record?
Our chicken fed 8 of us when the kids were young for two meals. We sent it to the chip shop after the stove broke down.😀
Other MN legends - washing being darked on because it was left out overnight.
Any that you've heard on MN inthe respect if your heard them said irl you know the speaker is an MNer?

The stories from the well-known MN fantasist who I won't name but she was basically pretending to be Jilly Cooper with friends in Tony Blairs cabinet.

One Xmas Eve her DD was working a shift as a trainee Dr before getting the last ferry home but was late. The OP managed to contact the ferry Captain who made an announcement to the entire ferry saying embarkation would be delayed for a trainee Dr who wouldn't make it home for Xmas unless they waited for her.

When she got on, the crew presented her with champagne and mince pies and everyone on the ferry clapped.

I joined just as the post Moldies/Mouldies (can’t remember the spelling) fall out was happening. Everybody was speaking in code. It was fascinating. But due to the coded speech I was mostly in the dark as to who had flounced and why some people weren’t invited to co-flounce.

Someone wrote about the neighbours across a stream at the bottom of the garden. They crossed the stream and put a huge sheet up, attached to the trees, during the night, on the writer’s land to block the view onto their property.

Yes, TalcandTurnips did the flower words. I don’t have the Mitmoo one, but I did take a screenshot of this one…

I think the "naice ham" thing caught on mainly due to the spelling, and then people pronouncing it that way in their heads - I certainly always think of it as "Nayce" rather than "nice" when I see that spelling.

Wonderful work! I think I love you for finding that! 💐💐

That’s just like the good old days of “ASCII Art” on a PC.

Was the lemon drizzle bitch thread the one with THE "PUNCH THE CAKE. PUNCH IT." comment? Because that has lived in my memory ever since.

Yep 😀

The hedgehogs finger up the bum had me wheezing for hours.
My mum told me she hangs her washing overnight and I instantly said "but wont it get darked on" and something about spider willies and she looked at me like I'd grown 2 heads 😐

I wash my toilet brush, how do you clean your toilet with a germy cloth ?

The booble plate! I still think about that.

The woman who had diarrhoea and swallowed a piece of Lego to see how long it took to transit.

The lost ironing board.
The Mexican house thief
Canel the cheque
I miss the Christmas presents swaps.
Also drunk friday threads were so funny, now we would have loads of people threatening to report us to social.services.

It wasn't spelt "naice" initially. It became naice as a piss take of the "nice" ham. Presumably in a Hyacinth Bucket accent.

I was most offended at the time. At first I thought it was so commonplace I figured it could have been anyone's shopping list. Turns out other people don't do that. Baffles me. If you put "nice bread" then it just means peruse the nice bread until you find the one you want. I don't know if I want focaccia until I see what else is on offer 🤷

And the one where a poster wrote a really long, normal OP but something clearly went wrong with her phone and it went something like "and then I couldn't decide if it was better to do it before tieeerhgggj ni mor po tieth"

Was that the celebrating Te Noihydc thread, or a different one? The former ended up far funnier than it should have done, with all the responses!

These have had me howling - I have tears rolling down my face.

Can anyone remember the women who went off to work and her husband was ill that day. She came home & he claimed to have been "drifting in and out of consciousness" all day. Upon further discussion, she worked out he'd been laid on the sofa all day just waking up and dropping back off to sleep! 🤣🤣

There was also another funny thread re the "dressing gown of doom" but I can't remember the details. Can anyone remember?

The many “shoes off” threads, but one reply I particularly remember is that it’s a “global standard” to remove one’s shoes before going inside. Mumsnet has even been referenced on the website TV Tropes for this.

Your minge and Suzy Quattro's fat nan still make me laugh.

Woman with a pigeon in her back passage sticks in my mind 😂

Shepherds pie made with leftover chicken? 😱 what are you?

I did say chicken/joint of meat, @Deboragh - the shepherd’s pie was made with left over minced beef. And yes, I do know that is really cottage pie, because it wasn’t made with lamb, but shepherd’s pie is what mum called it.

Was there a thread about a fake bird, think from Argos a raven or a crow. The person answering the questions was answering questions completely straight. Can’t find it, so maybe it’s in my imagination.

Remember this ha ha

Snapped and farted. Oh how I laughed at that 😂

The poster who mistakenly typed 'boil in the vag' instead of 'boil in the bag'.
