AIBU to ask about this?

I see this comment on here all the time! Someone will post on an (often bizarre) thread and say "hello Paul, is that you?" Ok maybe it's not Paul but you get the gist!

What is this about?

Sorry if it's really obvious!

Sharon was also the object of some other poor Mumsnetters affections http://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/amiibeingunreasonable/1212449-dh-threw-wine-at-the-wall/AllOnOnePage

DramaInPyjamas · 26/08/2016 23:22

Mumsnetters (husband) that should say

AyeAmarok · 26/08/2016 23:24

Ah good ole Brian. From Hull, IIRC.

TheGruffaloMother · 26/08/2016 23:24

Oh God, Sharon's thread was so batshit it had me in tears laughing!

I hadn't connected the dots between that thread and the 'is that you Sharon' questions.

I need a NN inspired by that thread. It would make me so happy.

Remember "are you in Scotland?" Grin

0pti0na1 · 26/08/2016 23:36

Off to Classics to figure it out Grin

Cinderbloom · 26/08/2016 23:37

Thornrose - yes GrinGrin

MadameJosephine · 26/08/2016 23:40

UCM is that you? Wasn't that from the utterly hilarious 'your minge!' thread?

StrattersHasACunningPlan · 26/08/2016 23:41

Your minge was the poster that went swimming whilst somewhat underdressed for the occasion

MadameJosephine · 26/08/2016 23:50

Thats right, I'm getting my classics muddled! I've spent many an evening trawling through classics, there are some real gems in there

Babymamamama · 26/08/2016 23:53

This thread has gone off at a tangent but to answer OPs question I think people write "Sharon is that you? if for example there was a thread about ozzy osbourne (unlikely I know) and then someone popped up on the thread with an abnormal amount of inside knowledge only his wife would know so other posters will ask that question.

Sharon came to live with me for a bit, it was awful. She hoovered up the hamster and ate my crisps.
Are they looking for Paul Smith?

liz70 · 27/08/2016 00:09

I went to school with Paul Smith. No word of a lie.
Couldn't stand the twat.

TuftyFinchy · 27/08/2016 00:12

I went to school with Noel Edmonds.

I want some Boots Fadgewash now, even though I actually have a fragrant lady garden.

Trills thanks for the link. I love the older classics only been on MN for a couple of years

TuftyFinchy · 27/08/2016 00:38

Liz, He used to spend the whole of lunchtime eating marmite sandwiches with satsumas. He was quite good at metal work I think but absolute rubbish at PE.
Did Pail Smith have school dinners or packed lunch? I quite like his perfume although it's run out now and I probably won't replace it.

Sunshineonacloudyday · 27/08/2016 00:54

I thought it was Bobby.
