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.

OP posts:

So many but “so sorry Alan” from the mum/nan who couldn’t stop farting, to the paramedic who’s name wasn’t Alan made me cry!
Also the OP who was outraged that people thought it was a bad idea for her DS to take a super soaker to a mainly adult party was fabulous!
Winey tinker/tiny wanker still makes me howl!

Moneys2Tight2Mention · 08/04/2019 11:05

Sean, Daniel or Balonz

Tom, Dick or Frankenstein...

That made me howl!!

I always remember a thread about never getting a break and one poster writing "I had one break in 2005 (hysterectomy)" and it really made me smile and has stayed with me.

It may have already been mentioned, but the one at Christmas time when the neighbour put a grumpy no parking sign up and the OP put a Santa in a car, glued it in front of the sign... it went on for days and is in classics, one of her neighbours questioned why anyone would have time to do these tricks, not knowing it was the OP, and the OP said something like ‘sometimes you have to make time for the things that are important Karen’ really cheered up my Christmas Grin

This one from the Professor Brian Cox thread:

"Brian Cox - Scottish actor - played Hannibal Lecter - also in the Bourne films.

Professor Brian Cox - academic & real professor - does some tv work - was in D:ream ("things...can only get better...can only get better...)

Professor Green - rapper - not a real professor

Dr Who - a madman with a box

Drain Doctors - had to call them for my loo a year ago..."

Nothing will ever beat the T-rex thread, the random, "Sharon is that you" I still imagine to be in Ozzy Osborne's voice.

No one has mentioned, "my husband has his sick in a pot of yoghurt".

anothernamereally · 08/04/2019 12:00

The post where op was complaining someone kept having sex in her hedge - a poster suggested it could be hedgehogs and op replied that hedgehogs don't usually ask for a finger up the bum

cricketmum84 · 08/04/2019 12:03

Oh god whiny tinker/ tiny wanker has just set me off all over again. Actually crying 😂😂

sashh · 08/04/2019 12:24

oops I meant dick

jellyshoeswithdiamonds · 08/04/2019 12:30

You have to make time for the important things Kath.

gokartdillydilly · 08/04/2019 13:23

From a post about a cancelled order today:

"You must really hate gollum!"

"I don't watch that shit. I hate Harry Potter. Haven't read the books and managed to avoid most of the films."

JenMumma · 08/04/2019 13:33

Definitely ;

Cheeky cow thinks I'm too thick to send her parcel.

Irony at its most beautiful.

😂😂😂

DontCallMeCharlotte · 08/04/2019 13:53

Every single thing Thighofrelief has ever said

Is Thighofrelief also the "I'm your MIL AMA" person? If not, I'd love to witness those two out on the piss together.

InMyCorner · 08/04/2019 14:00

'He has eaten a fat ball and complained to me it was greasy'

Still my favourite thread of all time.

InMyCorner · 08/04/2019 14:02

Or the person who's sister thought Elton John's Tiny dancer was about gay sex

'pull me close now take it down son'

ACPC · 08/04/2019 14:14

Hot Tits and screaming at the Michelangelo. I was sore with laughter at them. And the disappointed purchase thread had lots of great lines.

cricketmum84 · 08/04/2019 14:14

The Gollum/HP one made my Monday morning 😂

fussychica · 08/04/2019 14:17

In our house if you go somewhere and keep your coat on its "doing a Liam" (Gallagher) thanks to MNGrin

pushingdaisies · 08/04/2019 14:25

The thread where people were talking about Night Nurse and one poster said they were "gripping the mattress" don't know why I found that so funny, I'm laughing just typing this.

Also yes @InMyCorner that was amazing!

BabyMoonPie · 08/04/2019 14:45

The OP was saying she was disconcerted by having a male do her pedicure so asked for a woman to do it. The male then started peeling potatoes in the salon. I was laughing so much I cried

FangsTasticBeast · 08/04/2019 14:46

Your minge, willy willy willy, I’m Canadian are all favourites

pushingdaisies · 08/04/2019 14:47

@BabyMoonPie oh god yes that was hilarious!

lillymunster · 08/04/2019 14:53

I have to say my all time favourite word due to MN is cocklodger

chezbot · 08/04/2019 15:22

NRTFT but what about that fairly recent autocorrect fail?
"I urinated on the chair"
Recall is foggy but I think OP had intended to say turned on the chair.

I'm so glad I'm now alone in the office as I don't have to try to stifle giggles at this one.
