Something about weddings perhaps. Or mad neighbours.

Or leaving a preemie while you go waterskiing.

Share your memorable AIBU topics if you feel like it.

I honestly can't remember, it was all a bit chaotic. I'll have a peek through my PMs and see if I can put anything together.

Beesimo's last thread started, I think, as a rant to those who didn't respect her Traveller Ways. She then forgot she was a Traveller and went all Yorkshire Farmers Wife circa 1952. Flour'n'aprons'n'lambs in t'Aga.

Everyone who challenged this was a stonking Racialamist and then Bee flew off to Ireland. Seconds later Bee's daughter came on, with a strong family posting style, and slagged us for upsetting Ma.Then a whole saga about Gran-gran, the Jackys, Appleby Horse Fair and some electric gates continued for hours. It is one evening ost to MN that I will never regret Grin

I still wonder if she ever climbed over those gates. Before I remember it was all made up.

LadyBeagleEyes · 10/08/2011 09:55

I loved Beesimo's homespun wisdom and her tales of country life in the 1890s, complete with happy gypsies with a strong moral code and slaughtering livestock singlehanded.
It was all aybagum and rather wonderful.
She flew off to Ireland in tears in the end because mumsnetters were mean to her, though Beesimoslass did come and try to defend her.

xpost Madame, Grin though it seems I missed loads, has anybody got a link?

MadameLupino · 10/08/2011 10:03

No, she was deleted. In fact, was she banned?
I forgot Beesimos' Lass was called BeesimosLass. That was a master touch.
It's a shame it has gone as there were lovely bits dropped in that were lost in the frenzy. Ironing for the male cousins and Gran-gran's shell suits being two stonkers Grin.
I liked Beesimo very much.

CheerfulYank · 10/08/2011 10:04

I adored her and hate that she isn't real. :(

MadameLupino · 10/08/2011 10:11

The best bit was the amount of work she put into it. There were threads for weeks about wildly differing subjects, up would pop Bee saying 'Ee, to fettle it right put t'wood in t'hole' or 'A rabbit's never skinned until it's skinned twice'. Such wisdom.

I wonder if she's still around under a different name and persona.

Jacksmania · 10/08/2011 14:46

Where was the I AM CANADIAN bit? I can't find? Link? Page reference?

Tortoise, thank you for explaining the coat bit, NOW it makes sense!! What a clusterf*ck :o

Jacksmania · 10/08/2011 14:49

Tortoise, weren't we chasing some man-hating free jerker nut job all over MN a few weeks ago? The one who resurrected years-dead threads spouting idiocy such as "you go girl, rah rah, birth that baby all alone on your kitchen floor". Lunatic. Not an AIBU but maybe I should have started one - "AIBU to want TheRealDeal banned for spouting dangerous nonsense" HmmAngry

Jacksmania · 10/08/2011 14:50

Free jerker?
Bloody iPhone. FREEBIRTHER!!

petisa · 10/08/2011 14:50

I wanted Bee to be real too.

CheerfulYank · 10/08/2011 14:54

This is the I AM CANADIAN thread; it's near the end. It's not all that funny per se, but just the thought of all the outrage behind it and only being able to express it in caps. :o

Salmotrutta · 10/08/2011 14:56

There was also that "stream of consciousness" one about spilt wine, dead bees on the windowsill , someone (another woman??) called Sharon? Denise? Confused........ that was rather splendid in a surreal way. And hilarious.

I can't find it Sad

LadyBeagleEyes · 10/08/2011 15:09

Ooh I remember that one Salmotrutta, it was wonderfully odd.
There was also a truly bonkers one about secret satanic handsigns/messages in hiphop/rap music, with Beyonce being one of the culprits AFAIR.
It went on to a second thread and I stiill couldn't work out if it was a wind up or serious.

Salmotrutta · 10/08/2011 15:28

I miss Beesimo too (yes, I know she may have been a bit wacky!) - her kids had "quarters" and she had a marvellous nettle recipe for skin..............

CheerfulYank · 10/08/2011 15:29

Oh the Sharon/spilt wine one was hilarious !

CheerfulYank · 10/08/2011 15:31

Here it is...bonkers!

Salmotrutta · 10/08/2011 15:39

Oh thanks Cheerful - I tried searching and failed miserably!!

It's deliciously bonkers!!

Jacksmania · 10/08/2011 17:20

I know it's not AIBU (again, sorry OP) butnothing beats BitOfFun's shat-upon pouffee. To quote CheerfulYank, "shat" is quite possibly the best word in the English language! :o

Oblomov · 10/08/2011 17:48

Fur coat , one was fab.
I am a canadian, was also a corker.
ohhh how we long for a good old AIBU days.
these days all you get is namby pamby nonsense that has no real substance.

sallysparrow157 · 10/08/2011 17:51

Is the thread about the person who's partner wanked onto her essay still around?
