...to wonder if the lady who had the weird couple over and served them pom bears has seen them again over Xmas?!

[MsKLo]

A couple of months back there was a great thread from a lady about a weird couple who laughed like maniacs, served soup out of a tin etc and in return she served them pom bears (yes, very shortened version of whole story!)

Lady - if you are out there, tell us, what happened next? Did you see them again? Over Xmas?

Pom bears?

!!!!

Hope she posts - am on tenterhooks

Me too!

And I have a packet of pom bears in the cupboard ready!

whoo hoo!

(sad I know...)

Ooooh would love to have an update - it was my favourite MN thread ever!
Did anyone notice the Pom Bears on this years Royle Family Xmas special?!?

oh yes! pom bears on the tv - what a corker!

does anyone remember her name?

where is sheeeeeeeeee?

c'mon lady, post!

I remember the original thread.Missed the return dinner bit though (damn new baby what happened when they went to hers?

she gave them pom bears!

Just checked Classics - it was SlightlyJaded. Update update update!

Reinitindear (great name btw) the orignal thread with return dinner is here - enjoy!!!!

I was thinking about that thread the other day It was a lady called Slightly Jaded, and I'm not surprised, either - there was a lot of rather snidey stuff written about the whole thing, which was a shame, as it obviously tickled her, and a lot of others - she got her own emoticon after all! I would love to have seen her host a party where she offered lion Bars and Um Bongo.

I would love that party

um bongo!

lion bars!

so seventies!

brilliant!

Thanks ultimate just going to peruse it with a wee chocolate port

i remember part 1...someone tell us (or post a link) to pom bears thread pls

see above someone has provided thread x

Just updated thanks.How brilliant "pom bears anyone"

Damn I thought this was going to be a Gabby Loggon thread.

Will be watching this post with great interest! Loved the last two posts!! We all need a good post xmas pick me up so another one would be great!

Or we could start a new one!
I am supposed to be entertaining my sisters family amongst other guests for NYE one of which is a fairly successful actor.Whenever we go to her house it is all professionally catered.So tempted to do baby sausages,prawn vol au vents despite of sisters pleas to do something "classy"

Lion bars, Um Bongo, extra long twiglets and jelly made in a rabbit mould. Bring on the retro party food.

Loving the rabbit jelly idea could seem ironic if sis asked. The seventies is the new whatever you call this decade

I didn't realise there had been a 'return' dinner party. I have just read the thread and am crying with laughter a the OP's DH asking 'Pombear anyone?'

I didn't realise there was a Mumsnet Classic section either.

Good point. What is this decade called anyway?

I know getmore dd1 asks "when was I born?" I say the 90's. DD2 asks who knows?

The tennies? Doesn't sound right does it?

No that sounds like a period product. So any clever MN out there help us.
