I’m old and miss all the irrelevant tosh that we used to gibber about. 😁

@cardibachI would definitely be up for the job if everyone is up for it. Pretty sure it was UsualSuspect who used to start the original ones but I’ve no idea if she’s still around……

Usual used to start them then I started some when she was busy and then when she left

Oh I miss the drunk threads, the typing would get worse as the evening went on šŸ˜‚
edited for sober typos - not got my glasses on!! šŸ˜‚

Let’s do this then! Go for it @DetailRedacted - some of us can fill in when you are busy. I remember UsualSuspect

UsualSuspect 😊😊 those were the days, such fun.

That user name a blast from the past, I remember the drunk threads were good fun.

DetailRedacted · 29/08/2026 13:26

MN was much more fun in those days lots of very intelligent witty women having a laugh and not taking life so seriously. I’m finding it all a bit of a minefield these days!

I agree! I post less and less on random threads and more on a selected few where the funny, witty women still exist and can discus stuff without getting ranty at disagreement.

DramaAlpaca · 29/08/2026 13:38

I loved those threads! I was mostly a lurker as I didn't feel I was funny enough to join in, but they were very entertaining.

I would've loved a thread like that and obviously it was before my time. But I suspect it would be hijacked now. It does seem that anyone on MN who has a thimble of sherry at Christmas needs to go to straight to AA.

Kangarude · 29/08/2026 16:28

You just have to ignore the hijackers. There is a very long standing Sweary thread on MN and I’ve seen posters go on there and bemoan the fact they are swearing. The title says it what it is but some fools just can’t help themselves.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 29/08/2026 16:36

Loved the drunk threads. Although I would start off on them but I go to bed so early after a few glasses I was never on them very late. I think it was generally Usual who started them, and I remember you Scoose. I think so many people have name changed like me, or left mn now,

Didn’t she have side bollocks (usualsuspect3) at some point because she had flounced and couldn’t get her name back? 🤣
Didn’t she also start the NYE threads that ended up with a MN intern shutting the whole site down? 🤣

šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ yup, I think you remember correctly.

I’m the one with the rather dramatic pulmonary embolism and the equally dramatic goings on with the man who came to fix my pipes and had a look of Daniel Craig about him. Remember children: correlation is not causation.

He’s still in the kitchen, funnily enough.

You’ll have to give me more than that I am afraid I can barely remember what I did last week šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

does anyone remember the buddy bench?

I am so pleased you are still with your Hot Builder, Liney! <overinvested>

Thanks that’s sweet. What’s fucking hilarious is he’s still trying to fix the house Grin

BlondeFool · 29/08/2026 17:13

I used to love them. So random and funny.
