Just askin'

And place marking for updates Grin

This thread can't end there, it's not an episode of Eastenders!

You don't need to RTFT, that's crazy talk! Just search for the original OPs user name! Ctrl+F or whatever it is on the device you're using.

I need some help! I get the same screen as Evans when I click on customise, so can't work out how to highlight. Am I missing something? Also - the Maui threads: I only caught the last one (something about choosing furniture). I'd bloody love it if someone could link to the original. I hate missing out on MN folklore, and I remember penis beaker AND bumsex. I even remember Cod.

Trills · 08/05/2016 21:49

Someone who really remembered Cod wouldn't bother mentioning penis beaker - they'd think that penis beaker was only last week (in relative terms).

TheSkiingGardener · 08/05/2016 22:18

Cod was just before my time. Everyone knew of Cod and spoke of Cod but I never witnessed her in person.

sleeponeday · 08/05/2016 22:20

Why on earth wouldn't they? I wouldn't bother with citing Fruit Shoots etc now because it wouldn't mean anything to most people, but Cod was around with typos intact until a couple of years ago or so. Not a lot before the Penis Beaker idiocy. No reason to snit at someone who phrases things differently, let alone to pronounce in a lordly fashion that nobody on MN a long time would do X Y Z. Confused

Nanny0gg · 08/05/2016 22:22

The other thread has gone to Classics!

MN Towers heard me!

sleeponeday · 08/05/2016 22:23

Rather than going to all the trouble of cancelling the cheque have you thought of not writing them one in the first place, and perhaps not even going to the wedding? Then they can unsend the email they sent you? That seems the most logical solution to me.

PacificDogwod · 08/05/2016 22:24

I miss Cod. Sad

And I never, ever recognised her after she had name changed even though she had such a recognisable posting style. Apparently. I am just a bit rubbish that way

And Aitch - she was cool too.
Now you've made me all sentimental for when it was all fields round here and I should really go and wash my hair, otherwise I have to do it in the morning and that is such a pain…

PacificDogwod · 08/05/2016 22:25

Frankly, I think Puzzled should just not have bothered to be born - that would've avoided the whole drama Grin

LyndaNotLinda · 08/05/2016 22:29

I miss then too. Life was simple then. Fewer GFs

TheDailyWail · 08/05/2016 22:31

Surely Tech could throw a few alogorithms around and highlight Puzzled's posts, once they've done that, maybe they could cancel the cheque. Wink

(I must be MN old school- I can remember when there was only one Tech)

LyndaNotLinda · 08/05/2016 22:32

them

LowDudgeon · 08/05/2016 22:37

cod is a teacher. You won't generally see her in term time.

Look for very dogmatic thread titles, mostly in style & beauty (but not exclusively), in school holidays

PacificDogwod · 08/05/2016 22:45

There is more than one Tech?! Shock

But, but, how is there enough space in The Shed if there is more than one? Confused

Third Gluezilla thread:

Glad I'm not the only saddo one going back through the whole thing - I wouldnt recommend it though unless you've got the highlight thing sorted and can skim through to find the OPs updates as its EPIC!

Crispbutty · 08/05/2016 23:03

My dp just came in and I was telling him about the original thread. Before I had chance to tell him.. his response was..

"cheeky twats .. she needs to cancel the cheque"

I said I would suggest that... Grin Grin

DailyMailAreArses · 08/05/2016 23:03

Hmmmm

Puzzled is very hands off suddenly

TheDevilMadeMeDoIt · 08/05/2016 23:06

^^
She's gone to the bank to cancel the cheque.

OP posts:
sleeponeday · 08/05/2016 23:14

I miss Aitch, too. And MorningPaper.

springydaffs · 08/05/2016 23:17

What is going on here? Puzzled posted upthread and said she was 'going to leave it now' - and y'all carried on blathering about how to you highlight the op's posts etc , not noticing she had posted an effective adieu Sad

Puzzled. We salute you. You have given us huge laughs and we enjoyed your misfortune. No, hang on, we enjoyed the thread that dealt with and supported you through the horror of being asked by the revolting b&g to give them more money when you had already given them £100 (

springydaffs · 08/05/2016 23:19

You made Classics, puzzled. That's an HONOUR Grin

RedOnHerHedd · 08/05/2016 23:21

So, did OP cancel the cheque???

GrinGrinGrin

Op, you should cancel the cheque...

RedOnHerHedd · 08/05/2016 23:24

SleepOneDay
Ahhhhhh...... The memories!!!
Fruit shoots.....
Cod....

Bring back the good old days!!

Lynnm63 · 08/05/2016 23:24

Thank you thumb for explaining how to highlight posts. I can't believe I've been on here for a couple of years and not figured that out. Everything is soooo colourful now Smile

CodyKing · 08/05/2016 23:29

So what you're all say is ... She should have cancelled the cheque?
^^
Is that right?

OP you have made us all laugh - a problem shared is a problem halved ! ^^
