I'm fairly new to mn and totally love it! Wondering what have been the best threads ever so that I can look them up and possibly explode with joy! Grin

My favourite exasperated sigh / expletive nowadays is 'Jesus in a cabbage van!'

MrsPussinBoots · 01/03/2017 21:31

Savaged min-min is hilarious! I've laughed myself into a coughing fit. Grin

What was the Pom Bears one?

bagpackbagpack · 01/03/2017 21:33

There was one that combined illegal parking (Mn parking threads are always the best) with a woman who owned a tractor, towing car parked ileaglly with tractor, and then getting a group of tractor friends to to gate crash a dogging site at the end of her street.. it sure if it is in classics, but it should be!

PageStillNotFound404 · 01/03/2017 21:37

Pom Bear anyone?

FlyingElbows · 01/03/2017 21:37

Parking thread where rogue crazy parking neighbour stole the op's parcel too. It involved another mnetter and some husbands. It was great.

Lemon Drizzle Cake
T-Rex
I can't remember the details - something about a birthday party in a back garden?

ExcuseMyEyebrows · 01/03/2017 21:44

The thread where a mumsnetter found a human skull in her garden was so interesting -

Page have I missed the bit about Pom bear in that thread? Confused

MrsNuckyThompson · 01/03/2017 21:47

I haven't read the whole thread OP but has anyone mentioned the Lemon Drizzle Cunt thread. I was honestly in convulsions laughing.

dontbesillyhenry · 01/03/2017 21:47

You just reminded me about things found in the garden- one poster swore blind there was a barrel of human poo in the garden..

ANDDDD .....the Victorian safe....how did it end?

BernardsarenotalwaysSaints · 01/03/2017 21:48

Yes the drug addicted baby thread. My dc1 was born just after Emin started that thread, I used to read it during the night feeds then carried on reading long after they'd stopped. Last year I shared it with my ndn, who's thinking of fostering. I warned her it was very sad, saw her hanging out the washing the next morning, her eyes were red, she'd stayed up most of the night & read it to the end.

Another favourite was the one with op who had the car outside her house with people living in it. The final update was great.

Also Somerville's thread about dating again after being widowed.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 01/03/2017 21:49

One of the most memorable for me was the original 'Online Shopping Substitutes' one. I can't remember what they'd ordered exactly, but one poster ended up with a small wooden owl Grin.

It probably sounds boring now, but I remember crying with laughter at the time!

PageStillNotFound404 · 01/03/2017 21:49

dontbesillyhenry you can't have read the whole thread!

MrsRhettButler · 01/03/2017 21:52

Cube of poo!

Lynnm63 · 01/03/2017 21:52

I remember the online shopping one they substituted haribo sweets for Halloween with condoms. Then someone posted to say they'd ordered either condoms and got pregnancy tests or vice versa. I can't remember which.

PurpleDinosaur · 01/03/2017 21:53

There's one about the tat people sell on eBay that was absolutely hilarious!

OnHold · 01/03/2017 21:53

The piss take thread about the 'Lovely Friend" troll

I hate the parking thteads.

y0rkier0se · 01/03/2017 21:55

The poster who found her DP masturbating to Paul Hollywood had me in stitches and I think of it every time I see him on telly Grin Does anybody have a link to the drug addicted baby thread please?

y0rkier0se · 01/03/2017 21:55

And of course penguin bollards

Diel · 01/03/2017 21:57

Even this thread about great threads is a great thread. Ahhhhhhhhh Star

The sofa that looked like a turd. I don't know why it tickled me as much as it did-I think it was the poster who said something along the lines of 'would you invite people to shit down??' Easily amused, me!

greenworm · 01/03/2017 22:02

The T rexing one

Was the stuff from the same poster about a wine stain the same thread as the t rexing one, or separate?
