Remember Sharon and the wasp?

The Piano Wig?

The Motorcyclists and the seagulls?

Mitmoo?

Good times, good times...

The name one is obviously fake. There's loads of crap trolling all over that thread. Not just the OP.

PeppermintPasty · 10/04/2015 23:09

I think one has been zapped already, so weak. You've missed nowt, promise.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 23:10

Annoumcement - I should probably state that wind up was not the best title.

I'm sorry Blush as I know some of those threads are real.

How embarrassing!!! Blush

Too much poo. I quite enjoy toilet humour, but it's so unoriginal and they're never funny. The responses often are funny, but it seems like lazy wind-up trolling, to let your 'victims' provide the entertainment.

Penguin bollards on The Isle of Wight Was that not real?? I must be losing it.

PeppermintPasty · 10/04/2015 23:12

There was a really good one a few years ago about a dead cat or something. Anyway, it was pitiful, but we all started a lovely group reminisce about all the wonderful cats we'd known and loved. It was a very long thread.

It was fab. Sniff.

Pyjamaschocolateandwine · 10/04/2015 23:12

But a tiny bit of me hopes it's true so I could picture the op getting a slap from the sil.

And her Charmaine getting straight A's at A level, a good degree and a top job. Grin

PacificDogwood · 10/04/2015 23:13

Yy to too much poo, but 'rivers of sweetcorn' was a good'un, as was 'poo cubes'.
It's a finely judged thing, innit.

And I will have a fondness for Brian from Leeds for a long, long time Grin

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 23:14

See my last post nick - some are just good entertainment even if they are not real.

How would I go about changing the title?

And to what??.....

I loved Dan Snow Boss.

I am starting to remember the Pie and Bovril invasion quite fondly now too.

fatnan76 · 10/04/2015 23:15

was the penguin enclosure date the one where the cheating DP was set up to meet? Was that not true?

RJnomore · 10/04/2015 23:19

I totally missed hamster stew.

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 23:19

The "Charmain" thread made me think of El Cid's wife Jimena.

Now there was a class lady.

Now, I appreciate that I'm oldish and you youngsters may not have seen "El Cid" - but go on, watch it!!

I've had several poo issues over the years and can't even come to mumsnet for support lest I be branded a troll Sad

SanityClause · 10/04/2015 23:21

What about rosepetel with her hamwiches?

Salmotrutta · 10/04/2015 23:25

Oh yes!! rosepetal and "hamwidges" - I fell in love with her!

You can air your bowel problems without worry. Just not those that involve accidentally shitting into the boss's glovebox on the hottest day of the year, or pooing your pants at the Ambassador's reception but you weren't wearing pants because you'd come straight from aquarobics and hadn't put clean'uns in your kit bag. It's surprisingly easy to spot a Billy Bullshitter amongst medical problems.

SanityClause · 10/04/2015 23:29

Anyway, surely you can just say, "I'm not the poo troll, honest!" And everyone will believe you. Particularly if you reference penis beaker. Hmm

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 10/04/2015 23:33

Salmo Grin I like going on a toilet and nothing of note happens. Aibu to think my poo should be more exciting? Is that entitled?

Lets stop now. Grin

Patapouf · 10/04/2015 23:34

Why do I always miss the fun stuff?
Goady threads are my favourite and they succeed in baiting me every single time.

LoisWilkersonsLastNerve · 10/04/2015 23:34

Oh yeah! I'm not a troll, U have a fanjo dipping beaker and everything Wink

I never understand the thrill people get from coming onto the internet and talking about poo. They should really just go away and draw pretty pictures of it, I'm sure they'd find it amazingly fulfilling.
