Honestly I was crying with laughter last night. I have covid and am a bit delirious, granted. And I do realise that the thread in general was in bad taste and that this will be deleted.

But 'ermagad, the quern' 🤣

I'm surprised HQ didn't just edit the thread, it became quite goodnatured.

I knew someone from Hull that told me to serkit (sounding like circuit) when I spilled some red wine on my top!!

@WomanStanleyWoman

It made me think of Prue and Trude from Kath and Kim. ‘Ah rille hope the Quern doesn’t dah, but lit’s farce it, she is nahnty-farv’.

Sorry for being thick but what did the ermagerd bit mean?
I think ermagerd might mean Her Majesty?

I think we should campaign for the original thread to be reinstated - locked to new posts if preferred.

Nobody has yet said what the deletion message was. 😎

It was in bad taste as the Queen may be ill. It was also very unfunny. I certainly didn't post on it.

WomanStanleyWoman · 21/12/2021 19:42

@Topseyt - it was the classic ‘Not in the spirit’.

That was probably why it was funny Wink

@pantjog

I missed my chance to make an unamusing reference to a grinding stone (which is what quern means, acksherly).
Yes, we had a pic of said grinding stone.

Deletion message for those asking: '...this type of speculation isn't really in the spirit...'

This is a TAAT and will be deleted too, I expect. OP is on the naughty list now. 'Orf with her head.

God save the Quern!

OhGiveUp · 21/12/2021 20:05

Emergerd not the quern and nern nern nern almost had me expiring 🤣🤣🤣
Oh I wish mnhq would reinstate it.

Did The Quern have a meeting with The Perp in The Vaticern?

CornflowerBlue62 · 21/12/2021 20:10

Sorry, Lady Vivienne Mary Blush

(curtsies and hurries off to do her chores)

It means 'Oh my god' Smile

SpeckyWithTheGoodHair · 21/12/2021 20:11

I am going to call her The Quern from here on in

AngelicaElizaAndPeggy · 21/12/2021 22:58

@pantjog yes I remember this from last night! Someone asked whether the quern would be making a Christmas speech and someone very witty advised that 'she'd no doubt be grinding something out'. Cue more breathless wheezing laughs Xmas Grin

I had to stop reading as the bed was shaking with my -poorly- stifled laughter and occasional snorts. I got some very loud sighs and much duvet tugging from disgruntled DH.

Bahahaha! Grin
acatcalledjohn · 22/12/2021 01:09

The ermahgerd theme had me crying with laughter and like a PP the post "err nerr, call nern nern nern" just about finished me off. It was as if the thread was narrated by Cartman Grin

Snugglybuggly · 22/12/2021 01:21

Wish I'd seen it, why was it deleted

@Poshjock

See now this is why you have separate bedrooms. Because..Mumsnet. Xmas Grin

The Quern had separate bedrooms.
