To think MN should throw a massive party

[CrotchBurn]

Once covid is nothing but a speck on the horizon obviously.

We could have cheeky and picky bits.

And when you come in, they could give you a big buzzer button to be used later in the night during the live AIBU session where people take to the stage and do performed readings of their problems.

What about noise? What if someone reports it to the council, how can the attendees claim that it is normal family noise?

@Clackyheels

Where the hell would we park?

There'll need to be a map.

And bosom hoiking.

And competitive pearl clutching maybe.

I am going to rock up drenched in Fracas, hanging off RCB's arm. I will bring bantam's eggs

As long as you leave Declan O'Hara for me.

I expect the fighting will start after the snapping and farting competition when someone will want to light loads of scented candles and someone else will want to open all the windows.

Softzilla was a troll?!!!! Well I for one am shocked. (Not even slightly but sadly to have missed the updates).
Derailed, sorry.
Will there be a masterclass on finding your colours?! Or a LTB workshop?

Best thread in a long time.

I imagine groups standing together - S&B all dressed up to the nines, vegans sharing a plate of carrot sticks, telly addicts shouting 'no spoilers!'

There is a large group all peering at scan pictures, arguing about nubs.

Watch out for the buns flying from the aibu group.

And the MIL survivors group having their inaugural meet up, where they get a substantial serving from the buffet so they don't need to demand to be handed all of DH's penis portion.

The preppers have barricaded themselves into a room full of spam.

Yes to ' no spoilers' it's a bit of a cardinal sin on the telly addicts pages!
I just start a spoiler thread to try and diffuse the situation a bit as it can turn a bit nasty at times.
Didn't have catch up or hubs back in the day!
Life was much easier.

Yes, that should be fine as my teenagers are fully conversant with the running of the house and I practically have to shove them out of the way to use the washing machine, dishwasher or oven and they will have planned all the meals, bought the groceries and sorted out my insurance.
Obviously I won't be giving them a penny once they reach 18 though because they will be adults and accepting a meal from your parents at that age would be grabby.

But you will have to fight your way through the crowd of line eyes fists before you get to the Nub theory group

line eyes first !
please dont try to get through the line eyes fist

Can I invite Alan ?

Do we know Alan? Who is Alan?

We'll definitely need to whack some Bob Dylan on the playlist....

Maybe we could have 10 women who bring their partners up on stage one by one for a live trial. We could reuse the AIBU buzzers, this time you vote either "LTB: or "go for couples therapy". If a man gets a LTB vote he gets put in a cage suspended from the ceiling for the night!

Can I invite Alan ?

Hmmm do we neec any mansplaning?

Is anyone going to write to Janet and Roy afterwards to let them know how the party went?
I quite like Janet but Roy does rather go on about his - ahem- problem....

@thereisonlyoneofme

Of course we aren't going to invite Alan.

Don't you remember the last time when his lanyard got tangled up in the trapeze? (bet he wishes he'd put a clean vest on that day!)

He of the Im so sorry Alan thread, went into classics. But if you dont know him he wont want to come as he'd feel awkward

@adawong

Will it be child free?

It cannot be child free. I want to bring my children because^ they are people too. If my children and husband aren't welcome then we won't be attending at all.^

Jokes, obvs. Sign me up, I'll bring the wine!

I'll come, but only if I'm able to change my name if any conversations get too serious. I'll bring a few different sticky labels with me just in case.

Will there be a Victorian safe in the basement so we can all look at it, shout suggestions eg 'open the safe!' and try to work out what's in it? Whoever manages to open it gets to keep the sticker/birdie badge/parking diagram that is inside.

How cool would it be if we could actually do it though: a Mumsnet festival!
Every topic has its own tent with stalls for subtopics
You could wander around in your Hunter or Le Chameau wellies and interact with all your favourite topics... of course AIBU would be a moderated (?) debate room!

Who's bringing the popcorn?

I’ll bring popcorn.....I would’ve baked a cake, but no-one would eat it
