To think this will be Penis Beaker #2

Nothing unusual about the story. The Mail has been full of piss for years.

Sally :)

Really lazy journalism - have a scout around a few popular websites and dredge up enough crap to fill required word count. Job done.

Its all over my newsfeed on fb now

Penis beaker was definitely not 2012. It was October 2013.

That "article" is littered with typos

I like to think PB never happened either on MN or in RL.

I've managed to go a year on Mumsnet aware that "penis peaker" was a thing, but never pro-actively trying to find out what it was (beyond what logic suggested). I just Googled and found a Daily Telegraph article about it. It's a lot worse than Pom Bears.

Hmm, now three pages in. It's hilarious.

You got the right thread PA?

I'm reading the original penis beaker thread... (lines like "get your beaker, you've pulled" are causing mirth).

IIRC I read a page or two at the time and hid it presuming it would be deleted in due course.

No kim i don't think i have.

FuckingLiability I am pearl clutching at the fact I've been quoted in the bastard Daily Fail. DH is simultaneously horrified and

Bell, you have printed it out I bet.

Ha! Sparkling the thought hadn't crossed my mind much

The article sounds suspiciously like MN advertising TBH

Especially with the Mumstock mention at the end

Exactly - the sponsors aren't exactly a newsworthy item, so their inclusion particularly makes me think that the use of the details on the thread was probably endorsed by those at HQ.
