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.

Grin LaQueen, I'd love to see wholesome dullardness on threads.

Love the SaucyJack quote Grin

Yes Sparkling

There should be a perennials section and all the parent and child parking, getting a cafe table before you queue, shoes off in the house threads could live there.
We could sometimes visit just for the nostalgia

Sparklingbrook · 16/02/2014 18:54

YY it could be called the 'Not that old chestnut again' Section Pagwatch.

Forgot shoes off in the house. There hasn't been one of those for ages. Shock Must be time.

I have only been here since 2011. I bet I haven't seen the half of it DrN. Grin

shakethetree · 16/02/2014 19:05

11 years? Shock how could anything be fresh & exciting after that length of time?

Mintyy · 16/02/2014 19:07

I am strangely indifferent to "what to do with items you have worn once but are not dirty enough for laundry basket" threads. That has come up a surprising number of times.

I can't get enough of "aibu to change my baby on my friend's dining table?" threads. Love those.

The 'what are you wearing' ones always strike me as slightly sinister. Like they type it whilst breathing through a handkerchief.

The 'which school' ones baffle me.
We don't know your child or your circumstances. Are you really going to decide based on randoms on the Internet. Are you batshit?

DrNick · 16/02/2014 19:09

lol at hanky

they are humblebragging at its worst
never just " a blue top and some jeans" are they?

DrNick · 16/02/2014 19:09

which blog? - new but pervasive

LadyBeagleEyes · 16/02/2014 19:12

Yes to the what are you wearing ones.
Also the what are you having for tea ones, or what you pack in your kids lunch boxes., especially the latter which can be hilarious as everybody tries to compete.

Pagwatch · 16/02/2014 19:12

I lie on those threads

DVF wrap over with Jimmy choos and a small Chanel handbag. Just going to walk the dog.....

DrNick · 16/02/2014 19:13

DrNick · 16/02/2014 19:14
