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?’

MintyCedric · 08/04/2019 23:14

Surprised I loved that one too...even kept my octogenarian parents amused Grin

wizzler · 08/04/2019 23:27

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

animaginativeusername · 08/04/2019 23:32

@FenellaMaxwell oh my god Thankyou for the fat ball link. Sat in bed laughing like an idiot.

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!

VetOnCall · 09/04/2019 02:45

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

GrandmasNightie · 09/04/2019 03:06

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

drigon · 09/04/2019 03:25

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.

VetOnCall · 09/04/2019 03:51

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

CallItLoneliness · 09/04/2019 05:24

"I once put a chocolate button in DH's arse crack while he was asleep. He panicked a bit when he woke up"...just..what?? and why??? And why share??? but I absolutely howled with laughter.

Doesntlooklikeanythingtome · 09/04/2019 06:09

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 :)

qumquat · 09/04/2019 08:15

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?'

CasanovaFrankenstein · 09/04/2019 08:25

I think the pine marten was supposed to say “marty marty marty”

I am trying not to obviously laugh on the bus thinking of it!

ContinuityError · 09/04/2019 09:10

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.

Bignosenobum · 09/04/2019 10:23

Have just done a little pee. In response to a serious thread.

dollydee · 09/04/2019 10:55

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 😂

EmeraldShamrock · 09/04/2019 11:00

On whole threads, Maui was extremely hilarious, the OP along with posters, the OP was so adamant in what she wanted. I never asked, Was the OP a troll.

dollydee · 09/04/2019 12:42

Super soaker thread 😁

TokyoSushi · 09/04/2019 12:47

Oh my, the super soaker thread - fabulous!

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 09/04/2019 13:53

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!

Thirtyrock39 · 09/04/2019 16:19

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

Toorahtoorahaye · 09/04/2019 16:46

Can’t remember much in the waybof specific lines but some threads just stay with you.

The cycling monkeys peeing in the bushes

Jesus in a Cabbage Van

Lemon Drizzle Cake

Your minge

The Rlderly Korean Lady

Trexing in Asda - just for the imagery

The snooty poster LOTM who came on thread (where the OP was asking advice on selling her modest hous) with an actual link to show off her country million pound mansion which was up for sale.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 09/04/2019 17:07

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
