Cos I can't think of one for yonks.

The only ones that people claim to "spray tea over their screen at" all turn out to be silly attention seekers who don't know how to check their autocorrect before posting, or pervy singletons posting to get their sad little kicks.

Please someone show me a good humoured and amusing thread from anywhere on the general boards in the last three months.

This one turned out to be funny

Sparkletshirt · 15/02/2014 22:38

just waiting for my train.

Fairenuff · 15/02/2014 22:41

What happened to the au pair in the chalet btw?

KeatsiePie · 15/02/2014 22:41

Coconutty. DrNick. You've made me laugh and this thread is not for laughing in. I know it's not b/c it doesn't have in the title. How dare you, I'm reporting your posts.

Mintyy · 15/02/2014 22:41

Oh I didn't think that one was funny ZigZag. I thought her dh was a prize arse.

I found the train one quite funny.

I don't usually find the 'Funny Threads' funny though tbh . That's not to say there isn't some very funny women on here.

I don't usually believe the 'Hilarious Typo/Auto correct' ones either , I think most people make them up.

God, laughaminute me

JohnFarleysRuskin · 15/02/2014 22:47

I missed the curry and the psycho stalker. I've not got an eye for the potential funnies. Hmm.

DebrisSlide · 15/02/2014 22:52

I can't see that you'd ever do a lighthearted thread, Mintyy. All you do is fucking moan on about how bad MN is these days.

Be the change Grin

Sparkletshirt · 15/02/2014 22:53

There was a blood man part 2 recently, didn' t read it though but that was what the au pair said the 4 year old had told her he'd seen. Nothing happened Fairenuff, was just kids winding up the new au pair.

HighlanderMam · 15/02/2014 22:54

Here's one

Here's another

Those are just in the last couple of days.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 15/02/2014 22:54

It depends.

HighlanderMam · 15/02/2014 22:55

So YABU.

nkf · 15/02/2014 22:56

There is a very funny style and beauty one that turned into extraordinary things that swingers get up to.

K999 · 15/02/2014 22:57

I thought my thread about photocopying my arse was quite amusing and light-hearted......and it didn't descend into a bum fight. Grin

HighlanderMam · 15/02/2014 22:58

Here's another

HighlanderMam · 15/02/2014 22:59

Yes! The swingers one was funny too, although one person did try to get all serious on it...

Fairenuff · 15/02/2014 23:00

Thanks for the update Sparkle.

MrsMagnificent · 15/02/2014 23:06

Fairenuff

They found the bloodman in a museum in London on the second thread... Not much more than that though.

AgentZigzag · 15/02/2014 23:09

Ach, I knew you'd say that Mintyy Grin

He is a miserable arse, but that wasn't the bit that was lighthearted. They were just a play on words but you didn't specify what kind of humour you wanted.

I prefer a good 'what arses have you had to work with' or 'tell me about accidents you've had' thread. The weirdos posters you get on here never cease to amaze me.

FishCalledWonder · 15/02/2014 23:09

This was hilarious.

AgentZigzag · 15/02/2014 23:11

Have you got a link please K999?

I'm intrigued as to how the situation came about Grin

AgentZigzag · 15/02/2014 23:13

I kept meaning to look at that one when it was popping up on active convos Fish, thanks Smile

NoelOfLorst · 15/02/2014 23:15

Ooh yes the ugly objects was so good.

Now I'm laughing at the Kenenties all over again Grin

SoMuchToBits · 15/02/2014 23:16

My latest thread is lighthearted, yet doesn't contain lighthearted in the title. So far it hasn't descended into a bunfight, and seems appreciated by several other posters. But it isn't "popular" either.

Sparkletshirt · 15/02/2014 23:20

Tis the very least I can do for you Fairenuff m'dear Grin
