To remind you all it’s the Didn’t Happen Of The Year Awards tonight on Twitter

[Slipppy]

If you have time it’s worth reading all the posts from the finalists but this year we have

Feminism/Suffragettes vs The Voiceless.

Voting opens soon. VOICELESS FOR THE WIN

*for anyone who doesn’t know what it is it’s the annual competition to vote for what is clearly the most bullshit post on the internet from the last year. There’s been some strong contenders but these two are glorious and worthy of a place in the final.

Some of my other favourites which have now been knocked out.

£34 cough, he’s only 8 and Britneys 100m dash

Both brilliant, but I agree voiceless should win!

Oh my! I don’t think “feminism” happened, but it could. So my vote is definitely Voiceless, and utterly could-never-happen crock of shit 🤣

Fierce debate on Twitter as to the possibility of Feminism happening. Possibly if v posh school...? Voiceless is clearly the biggest load of bullshit possible and a worthy winner

Ahh, see I've definitely seen similarish things to "feminism" happen at school. Quite often tongue in cheek as much as anything, and it's quite easy to get a chant going.

So it's the verbose for the voiceless for me.

Ah, the feminism one. Something extremely similar happened to me many years ago, and I can absolutely guarantee you that story didn’t happen - what actually happens is that you repeatedly try to throw the ball back over a fence which is about 5x times your height while a bunch of little shits half your age kill themselves laughing, and then give you a slow clap when you finally succeed.

The pregnancy letter one - are they saying that nobody tried to pass that letter off as real? I mean, all the yikes on that one.

@SinkGirl the NHS letter one is so so so good. It should have done better. I became fascinated with it and tracked down the original post on FB. The poor girl has clearly got issues

I must say, if Charlie existed I suspect he wouldn't have got beyond his second sanctimonious sentence before several right-thinking people chucked him out.

I am now obsessed too but I’m a bit confused - are they saying the letter is fake (obviously), or that someone made up that this person faked a letter and faked the letter themselves? I feel like I’m in Inception.

I found Voiceless quite funny when I read it to myself but I just read it out to DH and was laughing so hard I almost peed a little, so a worthy winner I feel.

Those are amazing. Definitely think Voiceless should win.

My young children say some pretty brilliant things, but it's more along the lines of "you mean Covid-Stinkteen" (I'm so proud of my 4-year-old).

What's the NHS letter?

You might have to go to the tweet and zoom in as if I screenshot it you probably won’t be able to read it!

Are you sure he didn’t say “with all due respect mam, COVID-Stinkteen”? I’m sure he did

No she made the letter to try and convince some bloke she was pregnant with his baby

She tried passing it off as a genuine NHS letter

Love these and am going to enjoy this thread

I love this Twitter account, and the Voiceless entry is absolutely fantastic

If you liked that NHS letter you’ll probably like this too...

The NHS letter is BRILLIANT.

SinkGirl You might be right. She does sometimes bow to me and say "My lady" if we're going through a door at the same time.

Voting is open for 3rd place.

He’s only 8 v Britneys 5 second 100m dash

I'm confused. Were these posts people were genuinely trying to pass of as having really happened or are they comedy posts?

Because the voiceless one reads like it's someone taking the piss rather than someone trying to say this really happened.

I nominate elderly men weeping in the egg/loo roll aisle in Sainsburys sadly clutching their shopping list with just one item on it
When I suggested on FB this sounded unlikely I was told that obviously I hate old people and have no compassion

@MaryLeeOnHigh

I must say, if Charlie existed I suspect he wouldn't have got beyond his second sanctimonious sentence before several right-thinking people chucked him out.

I also very much doubt that someone who can't spell queue would produce a Charlie. Among other reasons for doubting it.

I don't know how you can be such a hater, Hoppinggreen. People DEFINITELY write lists when they need just one thing.

Nelson Mandela was also another worthy contender but was knocked out in the group stages
