Have you ever encountered anyone this cheeky is the thread title in classics for the Mexican house thief story. It's page 6.

Whole thread is a good read.

Manumission · 10/01/2017 23:29

Yes that was just someone who turned up and regaled us with something gross, attracted a crowd, the DM picked up the story, the crowd got bigger, it got really silly and then it was deleted I think. It wasn't even funny Sad

A friend got caught out by this as he had been googling engagement rings on a shared computer, rather spoiled the suprise.
I think I will google penguin bolards they are more interesting than the stuff I normally think about buying.

Manumission · 10/01/2017 23:29

Penis Beaker, I mean.

NewYearNewNames · 10/01/2017 23:31

Ha ha, the first thing that comes up is mumsnet rather than the penguins themselves. I bet the company that sells them is wondering why they have so many interested people on their website.

Manumission · 10/01/2017 23:32

If you want funny there was one about taking a super-soaker to a party that was hilarious, mainly because of OP's refusal to take anything on board.

Isitjustmeorisiteveryoneelse · 10/01/2017 23:48

Oh dear, I'm now finding it amusing that the marketing department of the company that sells penguin bollards are going to be getting vair vair excited about the trending cookies but will then have to have a difficult meeting with the CEO to explain why they're not translating in to actual sales.

Ilovetorrentialrain · 10/01/2017 23:49

kimlek it's in Classics.

kimlek · 10/01/2017 23:52

Never knew there was a 'classics' section. It's like discovering iPlayer!
manu Is Super soaker in classics pls?

Ilovetorrentialrain · 10/01/2017 23:54

Confession. I actually found penis beaker funny even though it's pretty certainly a wind up.

Yes there you go kim. Enjoy Smile

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 10/01/2017 23:57

NoFucksImAQueen · 10/01/2017 23:58

I went to catch up and half the ops posts have been withdrawn! Someone please tell me what's happened

dowhatnow · 11/01/2017 00:01

Al I want is a description of the real Caroline to see if she's like my imagined one. You don't need to confront her op or ops neighbours a description will do.

Op will you be inviting your fellow mn neighbours for Brew and Cake ?

NoFucksImAQueen · 11/01/2017 00:01

Sorry just seen other posts

Nocabbageinmyeye · 11/01/2017 00:16

Oh the poo puff thread has to the funniest thread I read on here, I was howling, thanks for the reminder misskitty, I'm off to find it for another read

ExpatTrailingSpouse · 11/01/2017 02:43

not sure if anyone has linked penguin bollards but they're a good use of several hours if you've the time...

the last update was that the penguins peter and penny had arrived at OPs sister and she was waiting delivery on her Dsis next visit.

Ihatethedailymail1 · 11/01/2017 07:30

How do we actually know that the two people who say they live on her street actually do? Any proof?

far too invested

JanuaryMoods · 11/01/2017 07:44

I really wish troll hunters would fuck off with their self-righteous bosom hoiking. It's distracting and annoying and against the rules.

If you don't believe the post is genuine then report and ignore.

Time MNHQ issued a few suspensions.

Ginandtonic100 · 11/01/2017 07:45

What sort of proof do you want? Imsoexcited and I discussed posting a photo, but thought that was a bit off given she'd asked for the photos to be deleted. Would a photo of the parking restrictions do?

Just to clarify though... I'm the friend who told imsoexcited (and two other friends on the road) about the thread. I live round the corner, but pass the house regularly. Just to get the facts straight!!

JanuaryMoods · 11/01/2017 08:03

You don't need to post proof, Gin. Those who choose not to believe are not obliged to follow the thread. I just wish they'd fuck right off and irritate someone else.

chocolateworshipper · 11/01/2017 08:07

Very well said January

(although I nearly spat my breakfast out at "bosom hoiking")

Manumission · 11/01/2017 08:08

Yes we could all fuck off and leave some nodding dog car toys in our seats January. Would that be better for you dear?

JanuaryMoods · 11/01/2017 08:13

Yes please, Sweetie, much obliged.

dawnc27 · 11/01/2017 08:15
