OP posts:
MadeInChorley · 04/12/2014 20:42

I'm going back to Cod days, but does anyone remember the Mozhi goes waterski-ing thread

BIWI · 04/12/2014 20:50

The one about how they got horses to the Beijing Olympics was fantastic. Sadly it was in chat, so didn't get saved anywhere.

addictedtobass · 04/12/2014 20:53

The Bridezilla nicknamed Gluezilla. I always wondered if the OP saw her again.

Mintyy · 04/12/2014 21:05

Yes I remember the Mohze goes water ski-ing thread. I didn't participate as I thought she was trolling.

Greymalkin · 04/12/2014 21:06

Reading all this reminds me how long I've been a MN'er!!

My favourites have already been mentioned:
Lemon drizzle cake and cunt bunting
The Mexican house thieves
Brian from Hull
The bolickle sporn thread
MotherofDragons thread about getting an exorcist into her new office building

Can't believe no one has mentioned the thread where the OP wanted to catch her MIL snooping so filled in emigration forms to Oz and hid them where she knew they'd be found! T'was hilarious!! Posters we're suggesting exploding dye and glitter bombs to catch her out

Mintyy · 04/12/2014 21:07

I've just thought of another one, although I'm not 100% sure of the name of the poster. Was it TidyDancer?

It was about her previously-thought-of-as-very-close friend who wanted her to decorate her wedding reception hall, despite not inviting TD to the wedding!

BIWI · 04/12/2014 21:07

Oh yes! I loved that one

BIWI · 04/12/2014 21:12

Searching for something else I came across this thread , with links to some fantastic ones

FuckYouChristmasAndThatClaus · 04/12/2014 21:19

Flicking the bean.

sunnyfrostyday · 04/12/2014 21:32

Earthmother was a true legend.

The office with the ghosts.
The religious fridge.
The little Korean lady.
The Swiss policeman who blocked the drive and was shagging the neighbour.

LostInWales · 04/12/2014 21:37

A thread which contains the line;

" This is the kind of thread you used to get back when classics really were classics "

I bring you a rip roaring tale of Pearl Fucking Barley.

It is simply my favourite thread of all time, everything a good MN thread should have.

Blu · 04/12/2014 21:52

I remember the Mohzhe water ski-ing thread. I think I was on it with advice on a suitable bikini for a woman to wear water ski-ing in St Barts a week after giving birth to a premature baby left at home in intensive care with the father and au pair to look after the other 4 kids.

It's a niche market.

Chippednailvarnish · 04/12/2014 21:52

I have a recollection of someone walking around their place of work with a garlic clove up their bum because they thought it would cure them of their threadworms...

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 04/12/2014 22:07

oh god yes the garlic clove

and the one at her mum's wedding. The Thriller one

PausingFancy · 04/12/2014 23:51

I don't think Mozhe was a troll. She was on other threads. I think a MNetter named her premature baby.

It was a jaw dropping thread. She needed a break, so 2 weeks post partum left her DH and 5 kids - including v preemie DS in NICU - to go waterskiing in the Caribbean and wanted advice on beachwear or something. Will see if I can find the link.

LynetteScavo · 05/12/2014 18:12

Eh? She didn't actually go on holiday...it was a wind up!

Mintyy · 05/12/2014 20:14

Of course it wasn't true! (Mohze). Don't be daft.

Thumbnutstwitchingonanopenfire · 05/12/2014 21:12

Mintyy - the bride/Tidydancer/decorating the hall thread was Gluezilla - named for the suggestions that she must be on glue if she thought Tidy was going to do any of that despite not being invited! Grin

Mintyy · 05/12/2014 21:28

Aha, that's who Gluezilla is. Thank you!

oldsilver · 06/12/2014 02:53

Didn't someone once flash at her husband...only it wasn't, it was the plumber or a mate of DH's

Itsfab · 06/12/2014 08:31

Was that the poster who ran topless into the lounge shouting SURPRISE but she got the surprise as her DH wasn't alone?
