Just for fun.

Mine is the woman who posted for advice about what to do about her husband who was talking to their cat really sensually. Not baby talk but like sensuous loving ”ooh your fur is so good my darling pussycat” and it gave her the absolute ick.

Every time I talk to my dog I remember her and chuckle. I wonder how she’s doing 😂

Oh and the OP who discovered her ironing board has disappeared and I don’t know if she ever found out what happened to it.

I have been thinking a lot about the recent missing clock chains post.
Surely the chains must have broken and flown off somewhere in close, but hidden, proximity to the clock?

This is going to sound rather self-indulgent, but could this thread go into Classics?

Cazzovuoi · 02/09/2023 14:24

It’s the first one I think of.

That and the Mexican house thief.

The Sistine Chapel was the first post I ever read, it will always be a classic to me. Grin

Omg yes, is this the one next to a caravan site? Something stalked them, they saw it in the shadows of the perimeter wall and ran and it raised up on two legs and chased them?

Yes that sounds familiar and it's a different story to the Savernake Forest post which is just as creepy

Aquamarine1029 · 02/09/2023 23:38

OMG, please, someone else remember when a poster wrote, "I'd rather slam my left tit in the door..."

Can't remember what it was about but I laughed out loud for a good ten minutes. It just struck my funny bone. 🤣🤣

Rather your funny bone than your tit I suppose

Suzy Quattro's fat nan.

I swear I'll never buy another leather jacket again!

OMG I had forgotten that and now my tummy hurts laughing at the memory!

I can’t find the Sistine chapel link but it was something along the line of OP being so moved/overwhelmed by the chapel and its history that she began wailing/screaming with emotion inside. All the replies were utterly baffled.

The Sistine Chapel was copied from a book by Alexander Mccall Smith, think it was Bertie Plays the Blues or one of the other 44 Scotland Street series.

@TheDutchHouse lovely to hear from you. How're you keeping?

Good days now outweigh the bad . Lonely a lot of times
Lockdowns were particularly hard , but I then imagined what it would of been like during covid if I stayed .
Finally got my teeth finished after the forced bulimia caused them to disintegrate.
So sometimes I actually smile 😊 now.
Still in same little town hundreds of miles from him.
The support that day was incredible

The one with the creepy music in the garden and the even creepier deletion message.

I think I remember that didn’t it turn out to be a children’s toy

^There was a post once titled something like ‘my friend has been pregnant for a year’ and it was a lady posting that her friend looked pregnant, insisted she was but had been claiming the pregnancy for a very long time.

I never read the end of the post and often wonder what happened.^

@SunsetBeauregarde This is an online trend I follow. 'Cryptic pregnancy' (but not the real usage of the term, that a woman doesn't know she's pregnant; they claim women can be pregnant for years and the pregnancy not be detectable on tests.) Complete nonsense but some people fanatically believe it.

There was a Dr.Phil on it

And then I watched some videos by a woman who used to believe in it. https://www.youtube.com/@crypticpregnancytruth She has a FB group too, and it gets all sorts of True Believers turn up. We try to get through to them.

I saw this interview, Holy shit. It did seem like she was being mocked but still very strange and a bit heartbreaking if true she was having a phantom pregnancy.

The mumsnet festival. It's in my head every bloody time that festivals are mentioned through the summer.

If I remember correctly it was going to happen to help a poster to evict a horse/horses from a field - people offered all sorts of stuff - it would've been grand!

SurprisedWithAH0RSE · 03/09/2023 00:29

Yes I remember, she lived in wales and I think it was a Dd she had. It’s a long time ago, the Dd will be in her 30s now.

SurprisedWithAH0RSE · 03/09/2023 00:30

I just remembered the mums name as I posted, it was Riven .

TastesLikeStrawberriesOnASummerEvening · 03/09/2023 00:35

Riven lived in Bristol

Mrs Presley and the toddler reins. I have never forgotten this and it must have been a good 15 years ago.
Seafour and her 'Fabulous PA'. A troll who reeled everybody in. Tripped herself up eventually.
'Bugger off and good day to you!'.
Lastly, dear old Zombie. On a thread about 'The worst place you've ever farted', she replied 'Kidderminster'.

IsabelleSE19 · 03/09/2023 00:45

Agree with Suzi Quatro's fat nan one but also wanted to add the one about stuff people say to inanimate household objects - 'spud cunt' made me cry with laughter, and I always think of that thread as I drag that little bastard Henry Hoover round the house and he gets stuck behind doors etc

HobbiddoH · 03/09/2023 00:46

I was wondering about the Sistine Chapel thread as a few mentioned it and I’d never read it. I’m now sat here howling and crying laughing to myself as my DH asks what’s the matter with me. Honestly feel like I’m going to piss and all I’ve read is the OP, not even the comments.

SurprisedWithAH0RSE · 03/09/2023 00:48

I remember the other sad threads, like Kate and the girls , who lost her husband at 9/11.

MissDees husband Peter who was waiting for a transplant ( her sister used to post as well.

Billy and Aillidh, as others have mentioned ❤️

The lady who lived near Kircudbright whose husband was killed driving his van at work. She got lots of support from lovely MNers .

The other poster ( Parkhead something ) who lived in Scotland whose sister was murdered.

I’m glad to read here on this thread that LRTB got away and is safe and well Flowers .

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 03/09/2023 00:48

Wonderful thread - so many memories, and some brand new ones too!

I always wondered too what happened to Twittlebee Woods, but I understand she had some heartbreaking circumstances soon afterwards, which obviously took complete priority.

I also remember a horrific one where the horrifically abusive husband ordered his 'disobedient' wife to eat paper. They were at the meal table, with his parents there, and his mum advised her to do it, because she too was scared of her son.

Funny ones:
I can never see Gregg Wallace on telly without marking the observation that somebody made on here that he looks just like a thumb!

The bonkers mum who did a naked jig in the swimming pool changing room whilst playing the pan pipes, to entertain/terrify her baby!

The arty couple who live somewhere swanky and very desirable in Europe. They had a vague acquaintance CF who 'invited herself' to come and stay with them, and they told her in no uncertain terms that she absolutely couldn't, as they had a huge workload with a pressing deadline to meet - but she turned up anyway with a suitcase and started banging on their door to be welcomed in!

Autieangel · 03/09/2023 00:51

There was a generic post - things your oh does that irritates you. One woman talked about her husband's lack of respect for her hierarchy of mugs. We were treated to pictures. And when she spoke of her favourite mug she said "I treat myself to that mug and he just drinks out of it willy bloody nilly " properly cracked me up.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 03/09/2023 00:52

Oh, also the OP who moved into a house that her kindly elderly friend had left her after she died. It came with a very large piece of land which the neighbour had long had his eye on. He ended up sending her 'solicitor's letters' that suggested she legally had to sell it to him for a song, using really obvious made-up Latin terms in an attempt to look official!
