Would love to find mine again - it was about Liam Gallagher and I'm pretty sure it was in a thread about the Ariana Grande Manchester concert. A poster said he has been wearing that anorak since 1993 and he won't feel the benefit.

Can't really say why I love it so much but it still makes me laugh out loud and we often quote it as a family, like when teen ds wears his coat at the dinner table.

The thread about the name Stormy for a baby. Lots of great comments but my favourite was ‘is it the weather sound of the name that you like or the pornstar one?’

There is a mn saying which always makes me laugh. In a thread discussing dubious practices someone will pipe up "so different from the home life of our own dear Queen"... always makes me giggle

I recently saw a documentary about yoni massage whilst channel surfing due to insomnia. I wondered at the time if it was Brian from Hull? Hmm

I also loved the Jesus in a cabbage van thread and still live in hope of meeting him!

Can anyone provide a brief explanation of 'I am Canadian' please? As a PP said, the thread is really long and has had a lot of posts deleted. I need to know! Grin

Vet if my memory serves me correctly an op posted a thread about moving to Canada. Another poster (I think SGM) tried to help and advise but op kept telling her she was wrong despite SGM repeatedly saying she was Canadian. Op was blinkered to that and kept telling her she clearly didn't understand Canada or its laws etc to which SGM said "I AM CANADIAN" it was very funny at the time - though I think op still told her she was wrong about everything Grin

The PP mentioning the Manuel typo for manual reminded me of a post where someone had been suffering or was still ill with (a?) quinsy but kept spelling it Quincy. Posters were either taking her post seriously or making cracks about the TV character. V. funny.

Ahhh thanks GrandmasNightie! I moved to Canada last year so I really wanted to know what it was about 😄

Years ago a thread was started by a mum who farted in her car at the school gates. Another mum approached for a chat and Op had to wind down the window. the other mum wrinkled her nose and drew back slightly in horror. The op worried she might have killed the lady with her fart. I laughed so much :)

The whole thread where Dove were asking for 'flawed' volunteers to be on their next 'real beauty' campaign. So many responses were gold but my favourite was something like 'I am physically flawless but I'm a complete cunt. Can I apply?'

There was a thread a while ago about the bus breaking down on a primary school trip so the teachers got the kids into the nearby services and fed them Mickey Ds (paid for out of their own pockets) whilst waiting for a replacement bus. On return the parents were outraged that their children had been given fast food.

“How inconsiderate not to have broken down next to the falafel and hummus stand” made me smile.

One whole thread that had me in stitches was about someone enquiring about whether her DS should take something like a super duper, supersonic water blaster to a friend’s party in the park. He had form for being exuberant with it 😂

Oh I love the supersoaker thread! And Maui. Grin Could someone explain "You're the carcass, though?"

Another absolutely brilliant one was the one about morton harket on celebrity mr & mrs. The original thread discusses how he's actually a bit of a knob, but someone who appeared to be a relative revived it as a zombie thread a few years later and replies, in drunken defence of Morton!

That super soaker thread is fantastic
And I have to say as a relatively new mumsnetter how much nicer posters were even when tearing their hair out

A couple that spring to mind as we use them in the family now are:

  • people posting about having a really dodgy stomach ... "I nearly shat my eyeballs out" or "I nearly shat myself inside out"


  • George Clarke described as having a head like a large Dutch cheese
