More i think the more i reckon the answer is the four short thing and he went to collect his missing letters and the OP feels like a giant twat that it took her 20 years to think of it and that's that

You have been milking this thread like a prize jersey 🙄. You’ve literally posted the words I have worked it out and posted lots of vague ‘intriguing’ posts suggesting that there is something to get. You’ve managed to put yourself into the middle of all the drama which I find cringey and disingenuous especially now you’ve decided to declare that the OP was just a troll.

I known all along there is nothing to get so Im only following the thread because I’m curious to see how it pans out but even so I find the posters who are claiming to know a annoying.

The joke is. You can’t tell anyone.
And it’s funny to watch people squirm/ go mad over it. The minute you get that you’ve been made to go mad over it, you get it

MN needs to start doing background checks, so we can find out if the original OP and DerekTheDog are the same/know each other/conspiring against us.

Travisandthemonkey · 06/12/2018 15:04

And there is no joke. The joke is not telling people.

SonOfSaturn · 06/12/2018 15:09

And there is no joke. The joke is not telling people

Exactly. I think I said that on the second page of the original thread. People on mumsnet are especially easy to wind up though.

Bos is a ghost. Bos = book of shadows. Therefore he is a shadow. He goes up the steps but does not come back down as he goes through the wall. Unless the OP debunks my theory, I am going with that and giving myself some closure Grin

SonOfSaturn · 06/12/2018 15:12

Bos is a poo. BOS = Big Ol' Shit. He goes up the steps on the feet of the patrons but doesn't come back down because he gets wiped on the post office doormat.

clairethewitch70 · 06/12/2018 15:12

Or maybe we get closure in 5 pages time if no one else starts a thread Grin

Talith · 06/12/2018 15:15

For Christ's sake no one start another thread!

TheLittleDogLaughed · 06/12/2018 15:21

What a pile of absolute rubbish. OP you totally suck. How boring really. Meh.

Whisky2014 · 06/12/2018 15:22

Please no more threads!

crispysausagerolls · 06/12/2018 15:37

Why is OP such a fucking cockweasel

cherrysfortea · 06/12/2018 16:28

Someone posted on the very first page of the first thread that they got it with a 😂 face

The only "solution" to the riddle (or troll post or whatever) is to claim "I've got it" and not reveal the answer. That's exactly what Derek and the OP did. Everyone that does that has solved the riddle. Everyone else, flopping around with wrong answers (i.e. revealed answers) will never ever be free.

BoswellHasLeftTheBuilding · 06/12/2018 16:51

The entire thing has been just a load of Boswells. What a waste of internet, time and space. Luckily I skipped a lot of the crud.

Why the fuck can I not tear myself away from this damned thread 🤦🏻‍♀️

We just need to fill it up so we can go on with our lives!
Would anyone like to know why a raven is like a writing desk instead?

I think deep down even the most strong minded and zen posters in the thread are holding out just a tiny bit of hope that there actually is a neat solution to Boswell Joke and either someone is going to come up with it the OP is going to come back and reveal all.

The whole thread is indeed a sad indictment on human behaviour.

You said you had it! Are you now admitting you don't get it at all 😂
