There's some really funny people on here and some stuff has me smiling for days. One I read recently was about the names small children called their parents instead of Mummy and Daddy. One poster wrote that her DC called her DH "Daddy" and called her "Not Daddy" - still makes me smile.

Thank goodness someone up-thread remembered the spelling of the "te noihydc" one. That short post that ended abruptly, as if someone had face-planted their keyboard. Nothing about it made sense...until a slew of mners decided it was an obscure sexual activity, and ran with it. Completely surreal, and very very funny.

I've just read it......

Someone us going to environmental health this morning as people in her neighbourhood were being loud cheering the England football win! She has evidence!!

Penis beaker

Screaming at the Sistine chapel

Take a break top tips, which included from one poster: Why buy expensive binoculars, just go nearer to the thing you’re trying to look at! Made me laugh so much!

Marmaladetwatkins and the Easter Nests,anyone? I still think about punching cakes everytime I'm in the supermarket Grin

The hair bobble plate is thread perfection. Real time drama which included lowering a child down behind a toilet, contraptions with hessian bags, waiting for a manly capable husband to get off the phone with poetry to finish. Nothing has ever come close to beating it for me.

Singlenotsingle · 04/07/2018 07:29

There's on on atm about a wedding card. OP has forgotten the name of the groom. Then she says oh no it's the name of the bride she doesn't know. Someone says look on the invitation, but OP says she's not invited to the wedding. So she doesn't know the name of the bride or groom and she's not invited anyway. People are saying why bother?

I actually wept with laughter.

UrsulaPandress · 04/07/2018 07:47

Loving these memories.

And I am swede in face woman.

53rdWay · 04/07/2018 08:12

One of the replies on the Sharon and the wasp thread. OP starts mentioning Adam, posters try to work out who this Adam is and how he fits into the story and wtf the OP is talking about.

“Adam works on fruit and veg at Tesco.”
“Well thanks for that OP, every little helps.”

werideatdawn · 04/07/2018 08:27

Snapped and farted definitely. I was laughing spontaneously days afterwards.

LadyKyliePonsonbyFarquhar · 04/07/2018 08:37

I really enjoyed the thread when the OP had just watched the film Taken with Liam Neeson and imagined how her dad would react if she was abducted by sex traffickers. Some of the replies were hilarious.

CaffeineAndCrochet · 04/07/2018 08:38

'Marty Marty Marty' is brilliant. Just burst out laughing on the train to work.

SmartiesMakeMeNaughty · 04/07/2018 09:37

Oh dear. It was me that shouted fuck off you spud cunt at the escaped potato in Sainsers.
Equal parts mortified and delighted that people still remember.

I laughed until I almost peed and died at willy willy willy.

Also marty marty marty. I think on the same thread there was a post about a book with a whale in it that had to say “alright boyo” in a welsh accent which nearly ended me.

Sparklingbrook · 04/07/2018 09:44

I am always baffled when people say Penis Beaker was hilarious. A lot of Classics I think are works of fiction. Might start off with a bit of truth but the more excited the audience gets the more elaborate they get.

I can't decide whether to read all about the snapped and farted thing in case it doesn't match up to the hype. Grin

Shock snapped and farted wasn't a typo?? She actually did snap and fart? She farted on purpose??? (Mind well and truly blown Shock)

KalindaBlack · 04/07/2018 09:53

Can anyone find a link to the Sistine chapel thread? I've tried but can't find it.

Peaheadz · 04/07/2018 09:54

Another one was when a poster received a card from a random couple called Peter and Sheila through the post and it was addressed to a couple named Gaynor and Mike. People were speculating why Gaynor and Mike moved without telling them.

It was all very funny and people were imagining all sorts of senarios as to why Gaynor and Mike didn’t want to be friends with Peter and Sheila any more.

The Sistene Chapel thread

KalindaBlack · 04/07/2018 10:03

Thankyou Thanks

PanPanPanPing · 04/07/2018 10:31

@Stretchoutandwait - re trying to find a book thread. It was TONGA!! Sadly the OP (who had been advised to join MN just to see if anyone knew of the book) had the thread deleted in the end because she thought she'd outed herself.

MrsGideon · 04/07/2018 10:31

There was one many moons ago (I think it's in classics) where the OP asked something like 'most embarrassing moments' and someone replied saying they somersaulted out of a toilet cubicle in a club while drunk and got stuck with their legs waving around in the air and their bum on show to all and sundry

I laughed so hard at that one I couldn't see or speak for about half an hour
