Look what I just found [grin][grin]

[MaryZezItsOnlyJustNovember]

I've been looking for it for ages.

It's SGM's "I'm a Canadian Thread".

I know this is the wrong place, but I want to be able to find it again, so sorry Trills.

[snurks]

oops

ok, i read the start, then i read the finish and ive no idea the route that thread took to get there.....

id better devote a bit of time to it later!

Sorry vicar.

Whenever anyone talks about op's not accepting that they might be unreasonable I want to link to this thread.

And I haven't been able to find it for years, so I'm saving it where I can find it again.

I do love that it has 666 posts. I feel that must be deeply meaningful.

Step 1 - CTRL + F the word Canadian

Step 2 - Read downwards

Step 3 - Enjoy.

Brilliant

I'm out at the moment but I'm very interested to see how it moves from "leaving 2 yo downstairs" to IM CANADIAN got to love mn.

I am really enjoying that thread...thanks OP :)!

I have to say, 'you are talking hearsay and I am quoting the freaking UN' comes fairly close to I AM CANADIAN for me.

Good times.

To sum it up:

1. Her dp is too lazy to put up stair gates
2. He has however got a job in Canada as Canadian firms want to emply hardworking Brits rather than lazy Canadians
3. It turns out they don't have Canadian visas, despite paying large amounts of money to law firm
4. She knows more than SGM about Canada
5. Everyone on the thread is a bitch.
6. She can't type.

That was fantastic!

Did she ever come back?

That was the best read I have had in ages - wonder if she ever got to Canada (as if they would reject such a yummymummy!)

Assuming there are 25 posts to a page, with 27 pages. Where would it get funny?

Many, many thanks for finding this, Mary - I'd had a half-hearted attempt to find it, but had completely forgotten that it started off being about stairgates :o.

I've just wasted over an hour of my life reading that thread! I hate reading old threads that have so many deletions though. What on earth was Starlight on about?!

Has anyone done a search for her to see if she's still around?

This cheered me up after a really shitty day!

That was one of my favourite ever threads

Good god though was it really two years ago?!

Ugggh!! I was supposed to be Getting Stuff Done tonight and, instead, I've been hooked on Stair-Gate (as in Watergate. . . do you see what I did there?)

Norty Maryz thanks a million, the thread is hugely entertaining for posting!

Read through not really sure what to expect.

Nearly gave up after getting more and more fed up with the OP.

But......it was worth it .

Killer punchline!

Oh I loved that thread

Is this not in classics? It should be!!

I AM CANADIAN

I think Maryz should be employed by MN to summarise all lengthy threads.

It's a bizarre thread isn't it.

It has everything, an unreasonable op who doesn't know she is unreasonable, bullying, snarking, complete bonkersness and an epic punchline.

Don't worry about the blanks - they weren't actually deletions iirc, they were posts where the poster's entire history has been deleted by request. So probably inane irrelevant comments like most of the thread
