TiggyD is a searing legend of Olde Mumsnet Towne, known for his razor-sharp wit and penchant for taking a dump in tall buildings.

His reputation and status led to him being asked to cut the ribbon at the recent MNHQ opening of the new topic Goats and Goat Herding. Mr D is 94.

You were once famous to me PortBlacksand, because I was trying to buy a house just round the corner from you!

I moved 50 miles away in the end Smile

I think you have to be very prolific and/or have a specialism (BadKitten and weather, Flowery and employment law, Mumblechum and wills etc) to be Mumsnet famous. And you need that charisma as well - interesting that some people can have online charisma as well as RL charisma. Or maybe it's one or the other? There's probably a research paper in that.

Where has woowooowl gone? I used to agree with everything she said.

LoverOfBooks · 19/03/2015 22:05

Definitely a few years ago, such as Worra, Sealth, AnyFucker, Scottish, SPB etc.
Not so much now.

MetallicBeige · 19/03/2015 22:09

Zombie is a MN institution for me. Lovely poster.

I namechange all the time, have friends and clients on here, don't want them reading my useless trivia and recognising me. Grin

MetallicBeige · 19/03/2015 22:10

And I loved Everlong, not seen her for yonks.

Alisvolatpropiis · 19/03/2015 22:11

Has Everlong gone?

I know she name changed but then reappeared on a thread as herself again but that was months ago, haven't seen her since.

Mrsjayy · 19/03/2015 22:13

Think everlong name changed although she popped up randomly on a thread a few weeks ago then vanished again

FluffyMcnuffy · 19/03/2015 22:15

I remember Eve and Laurie Grin

Alisvolatpropiis · 19/03/2015 22:17

Always liked Everlong. I'm no good at spotting posting styles though so doubt I'll clock her new name.

Charliebitmyfinger · 19/03/2015 22:20

Hope I am not cross posting as I have only skimmed the thread, but does anyone remember a poster called"TerryWogan'sCock" their profile pic was excellent Grin

Charliebitmyfinger · 19/03/2015 22:21

DaftPunk, COD [sniggers]

trufflesnout · 19/03/2015 22:22

DON'T namechange kim. I luffs you.

I also luffs MrsDeVere sososo much

Mrsjayy · 19/03/2015 22:22

I don't know her new name but i think she is still around

Charliebitmyfinger · 19/03/2015 22:24

Riven had the TV camping outside her house in Bris'. She was off the scale famous in 2010....

notquitegrownup2 · 19/03/2015 22:24

who the fuck is anyfucker??....... derailleur, you obviously don't frequent the relationship boards. Although you may have come across her when, a few years ago, someone complained that her name was inappropriate and that she should have to change it. MNtowers agreed, if I remember rightly, but then there was a protest where looooaads of people namechanged to add F*cker to their names!

I seem to remember that we were told off and that it wasn't a very grown up way to protest, but it worked because AF remained AF

WombleGravy · 19/03/2015 22:28

EatShitDerek is ok, NCed and posting in her usual style Smile

Charliebitmyfinger · 19/03/2015 22:28

Where did PolicyWonk and Custardo go??
