To ask where the house fire/insurance/PIL thread went?

[PrimalLass]

Has it been zapped or are my searching skills rubbish?

It was zapped... poster had previous form.

Ah, I see. Thank you.

For the first time ever on mumsnet i have read a thread and thought "bullshit"!

I honestly do not understand how anyone has the time or energy to make this shit up.
What do they get out of it? Baffles me

Oh no. Seems I am easily taken in. Can't understand why anyone would want to make up lies and post them for fun.

Disappointed I fell for it.

I wonder if this was the same GP party anorexia girl?

It was so OTT I was pretty sure it had to be a wind up. I don't think the OP took on board how many people would twig right away that building insurance just doesn't work like that.

Ooh. Which thread was this, Please?

Omg I fell for that one

I am so innocent

I fell for it too.

Oooh, what was the upshot of the buildings insurance? I'd got as far as people speculating that they didn't have any insurance, but the OP hadn't come back to the thread at that point. Please someone tell me!

I fell for it - who on earth has the time and energy to go to the hassle of making this shit up?! I really dont understand it

Oh, I was waiting to see what amazing drama the no insurance would create. It was leading up to being a doozy.
Gertie made me lol with her 'yes, Bernard. Bullshit' comment.

Tbh it made a nice change from the spate of wind up merchants doing the benefits/poor kids/party/parking routine. At least it wasn't a bash the x section of society thread.

I never liked the Sharon threads but at least they were a craft in their own right.
In the good old days we had a better class of troll. Now you can barely see the line between a troll and a genuine but unpleasant poster, there's a fair few knocking around who do nothing but goad for effect but you can't call a cunt a cunt anymore.a

Oh I actually got taken in by that one! Boo.

Can someone give me a run down of what went on? Sounds fun!

Ah man I feel emotionally manipulated! Was thinking about that poor kitty and poor beagle being chased around by German shepherds while I was in the shower this morning.

Great story though.

The GP anorexia one was untrue? Oh...

Was the party uninvite one zapped too?

Bugger. I thought that one was so ridiculous it had to be true!

The imagination is brilliant. I could manage the bones of it, but adding in the dogs/cats and other sundries was inspired.

These threads should not be zapped, they should be sent to the naughty corner section to be appreciated at length

The PIL/house fire one was such a lonnnnnnnggggg first post. You wonder who has the time to write that and come up with a story like that.

I like the naughty corner idea

I like the naughty corner idea too, but it would just give them more attention and more reasons to flood the board with rubbish.

Gullible as ever - I thought it was genuine and posted my two penn'orth.
