The Motorcyclists and the seagulls?

Aye

usualsuspect333 · 10/04/2015 22:44

They are just embarrassing now.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 22:44

Aye indeed Sad

I yearn for the Mitmoos and the GabbyLogons and the Mario101s.

Yup, tonight's sample wasn't up to scratch. Mind you, I suspect that was because it wasn't a wind up thread, more a matter of OP doing a quick backtrack once she realised what an utter twat she sounded like.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 22:47

Ain't that the truth usual.

Now you know I'm a goady old bint who likes a good cat crap thread and wot not but it's all getting a bit earnest and wotnot.

True Icimoi, true.

Yes it's tedious.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 22:52

I hold my hands up.

I'm a right old goady bugger.

But I do stuff about cats and sauce.

I don't think my handbag has Rights.

Yanbu. No subtlety. No imagination.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 22:54

Does anyone remember the "Willy willy willy" thread.

I referred to that in a reply just the other day.

Now that was an awesome thread.

PacificDogwood · 10/04/2015 22:55

YANBU.

Although Mitmoo scared the bejeezus out of me

Hamster stew?
Lemon drizzle cake?
Penguin enclosure date?

That's more my thang Grin
Although 2 of those were true. Apparently.
Grin

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 22:57

Oh yes!

Lemon drizzle - quality.

And TRexing in the supermarket.

Pyjamaschocolateandwine · 10/04/2015 22:57

I think it's too hard to spot really as some people really are vile in RL.

Sometimes you think it's a goady thread and it's true.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 22:58

Remember Beesimo.

She gave me advice about a cyst once.

Loved her.

Hamster stew was fabulous. Tonight's effort was shameful...I couldn't read beyond a few comments, I felt so embarrassed on the OPs behalf.

JoanHickson · 10/04/2015 22:59

Penguin bollards on The Isle of Wight.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 23:01

Penguin bollards was good too!

OP posts:
LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 10/04/2015 23:02

pajamas Tonights name thread? I hope it is fake. Vile attitude.

LongDistanceLove · 10/04/2015 23:02

Willy willy willy was funny, was it a wind up? Shock

CaptainAnkles · 10/04/2015 23:03

Hang on, the lemon drizzle and bollard threads were made up?

PacificDogwood · 10/04/2015 23:04

Would anybody like to steer me gently to tonight's offering??

I've been distracted by watching the season finale of Fortitude - what a weird experience that whole series has been; I'm not sure I'll be back for more Hmm

So, please?

Marshy · 10/04/2015 23:04

What have I missed? too busy watching crap tv

PacificDogwood · 10/04/2015 23:04

Nono, lemon drizzle and penguins was real. AFAIK.
I really hope they were real.

PacificDogwood · 10/04/2015 23:05

Oh, the name one was rubbish.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 23:07

Actually, I don't care if it's a wind-up as long as it's funny and not a hairy handed trickery troll.

One of my best ever threads on here was a late night person who had accused all of us of having "lost our marbles".

Cue lots of us posting about finding marbles under fridges, other items we had found under fridges, Elven screwdrivers (don't ask) and all sorts of funy stuff.

Then there was the thread about the fur coat that was gifted to the OP then asked to be returned! Great stuff.
