To think MNers need to see this today

It's been a tough week at MNHQ and the gin cupboard is almost bare. Am I wrong in thinking long term MNers will feel better for seeing this and remembering what a helpful lot we can be.

Eh? Confused

GinIsIn · 13/08/2017 20:23

I've been here 8 years. Don't get the bat.

BeakersofNaiceHam · 13/08/2017 20:25

Argh Sir Terry! I miss his breakfast show too.

I have been on here nearly every day since before my dd who has just turned 16 was born and I don't get ant of these so called in jokes

Ginslinger · 13/08/2017 20:27

the MN bat was probably MNs version of being Rick rolled - I can't remember who started it

MidnightVelvetthe7th · 13/08/2017 20:27

Hahahaa

At least it wasn't the Easter bonnet, that can still make me cry laughing at the posts 😂😂😂

exLtEveDallas · 13/08/2017 20:29

Ooh the Sinister Fox Bonnet. The stuff legends are made of Grin

MarciaBlaine · 13/08/2017 20:29

It's the relentless trolls and made up shite though. Even Terry's cock isn't big enough to hide that ;-)

DoveOfPiss · 13/08/2017 20:32

I'm with Silver Confused

Hassled · 13/08/2017 20:33

:o.

As Ginslinger said, it was the equivalent of rickrolling - you'd say here's an interesting link and hilarity would ensue. We were very easily entertained, I now see.

BeakersofNaiceHam · 13/08/2017 20:33

We don't get the fights about who is MN royalty any more, those were good fun.

Ahhh Soupy! Grin

SymphonyofShadows · 13/08/2017 20:34

I was hoping for the bonnet. I saw the bat the other day when Soup posted it on cod's thread [wipes nostalgic tear]

Do people really use 'cancel the cheque' to illustrate longevity? That was only on few months ago, surely?

Hassled · 13/08/2017 20:34

People were google imaging their user name and the bat was what someone got. I'm going to go out on a limb and say it was someone with bat in their name but I can't remember who.

Milliways · 13/08/2017 20:36

Loved that bat :)

Hassled · 13/08/2017 20:38

The "who's your favourite MNer?" threads were always excruciating. There would always always be someone who just couldn't hold back from posting that they'd been on MN since time began and was always kind and lovely and yet they still hadn't been mentioned and it was so not fair, and then it all got horribly awkward.

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 13/08/2017 20:38

Love that Bat, but not TWCGrin

TheWitchAndTrevor · 13/08/2017 20:41

Grin arhhh bless

BeakersofNaiceHam · 13/08/2017 20:46

Oh yes Who's your favourite MNer how could anyone think that was a good idea?

JeremyCorbynsBeard · 13/08/2017 20:51

Well MarsLady was always going to win Beaker so why bother?

[Fond memories of lemon drizzle cake ...]

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 13/08/2017 20:52

Yes, those "Fav MNetter" were always dreadful.

Nubbled · 13/08/2017 20:55

Terry's dick pic. Once seen never forgotten.

Hulababy · 13/08/2017 21:04

When and why did the bat start? I cant remember the reasons behind it at all.
Must be a few years back now.

PandorasXbox · 13/08/2017 21:09

We don't get the fights about who is MN royalty any more, those were good fun

Or who our favourite MNetter is Grin
