How long until the bride realises it's about her? When are journalists going to research for their own, original news?!

I've ceased to be interested until the bride comes forward!

abigamarone · 11/05/2016 22:50

Can you guess what 81% thought the guest should have done with the cheque?

SisterMoonshine · 11/05/2016 22:52

Is the 2nd thread full already?

FoxSticks · 11/05/2016 22:53

It was discussed on LBC today too.

Least this isnt about dipping dicks in cups I suppose like the last big mumsnet story

Ketchuponpizza · 11/05/2016 23:03

I loved the green cup story. Kept me amused for AGES!

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 11/05/2016 23:12

It was on BBC 5Live this afternoon too - I heard it on the way to the school run.

UnderTheGreenwoodTree · 11/05/2016 23:12

It's a good cautionary tale though - beware - your thread could go viral.

Unicow · 11/05/2016 23:14

I saw it on yahoo and I know it's been in the cunting paper of cuntflaps.

My life is in no way exciting or news worthy - but this kind of thing does make me worry about posting in the future.

notapizzaeater · 11/05/2016 23:19

Let's hope the bride sent the email to a few people

BatteryOperatedBoyfriend · 11/05/2016 23:24

It means that people either don't post , or people make up the most random story in the hope of it getting in the papers!

PurpleRainDiamondsandPearls · 11/05/2016 23:25

I wonder that thread is responsible for the influx of goady twats we've had of late?

kayessbee · 11/05/2016 23:25

On Chris Evans Radio 2 earlier today too.....

CodyKing · 11/05/2016 23:28

I've just voted "cancel the cheque!"

The article is very badly written. Shoddy sloppy 'journalism'.

It was also in the Guardian, not just the DM. As bloody bad as each other.

ilovesooty · 11/05/2016 23:46

I read the beginning of it and didn't feel interested enough to post. I'm astonished it's gone viral really.

Mind you I didn't think pens beaker was particularly funny.

ilovesooty · 11/05/2016 23:46

Penis beaker of course.
