sorry to seem slow but there are all kinds of situations where Maui is the answer and I have never seen any suggestion why!

I know this was mentioned on page 2 but I didn't realise that Maui girl and cracker lady were the same person! This is like that thread which asks which 2 characters you cannot believe were played by the same person!

I'm glad somebody's remembered Sharon. Wasn't she the one whose husband t-rexed in asda? I remember crying with laughter.

Sharon was the person who should have cleared up the red wine that made a stain when it was thrown on a wall to get rid of a wasp (or something along those lines)

Did it get rid of the wasp though?

No, Sharon was the 'OW' who the T-Rexing DH was supposed to be having a fling with, according to the OP (T-Rexer's DW)!

T-Rexing in the supermarket, I think Sharon features somewhere in the thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1498923-Shouting-at-me-in-the-supermarket Grin

She had a business where she dressed up as Princess Anna and sang at kids' parties....

I read that as dressing up as Princess Anne and singing at kids parties. Was a bit suprised there was a demand for that!

Ah, I apologise. Although Sharon does feature in that thread ^^ T-Rex. She first made her appearance in the wasp/red wine on the carpet thread!

I think when there is a really good troll thread mnhq should hold a vote on whether we should keep it open or not. Some of them are like interactive soap opera. Grin

We could have a special topic they get moved to called 'Under the bridge'

But not all of them were out-&-out-trolls. TONGA lady was clearly quite genuine, she just didn't 'get' MN. And some of the others were just delightfully bonkers!

What about the 'fumming' OP?! It appears she was genuine, but just didn't 'get' that she was B totally U!

I thought the 'fumming' post was where the OP's parents had taken her children away camping and got their new (white?!) trousers dirty just before she was taking them on holiday?! Maybe there was more than one Grin

No, I think the original 'fumming' thread (as above) was where the OP was livid that her DS had been excluded from his school's Nativity play - despite the fact she'd already told the school that she didn't want him involved in any religious activities because she didn't "believe in god and all that shit". She didn't seem to understand that a Nativity play is, erm, religious!

I was on Tonga lady's thread - someone had found a remarkably similar book that was, quite clearly, the one. But it wasn't in Tonga.

The OP flatly refused to believe that there was even the slightest possibility she had misremembered (I seem to remember it was quite some time since she'd lent it, so entirely possible).

Any time someone posted a good but non-Tongan suggestion (genuinely being helpful!) she would get angrier and angrier insisting that she could only accept help from people who would listen.
