And in what capacity? So it could be someone you just think seems really nice, and you could chat and have tea together. Or someone fun for drinks and going out. Somebody with whom you'd like to have a good debate and set the world to rights. A Mumsnetter you'd like to go shopping with, as you like the sound of their style. Or a wise, kindly soul whose advice you would unashamedly seek! An ideal dinner party guest, perhaps?
Looking forward to reading your replies (have name-changed though, as it just felt a bit awkward using my own!). I must confess to being shockingly unobservant when it comes to names on here, even if I have received some wonderful replies and perspectives over the years.

Let the unmumsnetty love commence! Grin

Dunno about these days but yearssss ago there was a poster who I loved called “ EatShitDerek”..

I am not sure what happened to her but she was brilliant.

@Babyroobs for always giving such amazing advice about benefits. It's such a minefield and she/he has been really helpful so many times.

Yep. Agree with this 👍🩷

RockyRogue1001 · 16/02/2024 18:29

MrsTerryPratchett, because she's awesome.

Not seen her for a long time, but I used to like WorraLiberty

And I'd like to buy BIWI a drink, because I've got a lot of respect for her

Agree with this too. I think Worra Liberty changed names did she not?

Metallicant · 16/02/2024 19:59

I would like PigletJohn to come and walk round my house with me and tell me how to fix everything and what materials to use.

CurlewKate · 16/02/2024 20:02

I really liked a poster called OneBatMother back in the day. And I got brilliant advice from Getorfmyland.

ShirleyPhallus · 16/02/2024 20:02

This is one step away from “who is your favourite MN royalty”

Toddlerteaplease · 16/02/2024 18:46

@BaroqueInterlude Cheddar is definitely available for cuddles. Penelope may be amenable. I'm in the East Midlands if that's any good?!

Aww, I'm up in Yorkshire so a wee bit far away. I will have to make do with your photos!

I dont fit in on MN so no i would not want to meet any.

I think this thread is meant to puff up certain users with low self esteem

Mysterian · 16/02/2024 20:08

If anybody wants to meet me I'll be in the woods nearby from about midnight. Don't tell anybody.

LoseLooseLucy · 16/02/2024 20:10

Absolutely no one.

Mixmup · 16/02/2024 20:10

I have been here for yonks but I NC a lot. Some people saying they have been here for years and years I don’t recognise at all. In fact I only recognise one or two names.

When have there been MN meet ups?! I couldn’t think of anything worse, my favourite thing about this forum is that it’s anonymous!!!

Sweetlily99 · 16/02/2024 20:12

Pigletjohn to come over and teach me DIY or be on WhatsApp video call. Years ago renovating I put out a call regularly.

Champagneobsessed · 16/02/2024 20:17

I agree with the first two. Don’t think I know the third but suspect we have the same taste!

JacquesHarlow · 16/02/2024 20:21

I would love to meet some of the prolific trolls, and the earnest men posters who like to tell everybody off on here

I’d like to meet SimonJT (is he still on here?!) and some of the guys who endlessly post in the Sex forum only (why do they do that?!) and that guy who was on here for years called GinDaddy or whatever his name was, it kept changing every time he was banned

Anjea · 16/02/2024 20:21

What did happen to Worra?

I've only just realised she's MIA

catgirl1976 · 16/02/2024 20:27

God I'd forgotten about Scottish Mummy :)

I'd like to meet Worra, Anyfucker RhodaJean, and I am sure there's load more. I'd quite like to meet Xenia just to see if her life is real :)

britneyisfree · 16/02/2024 20:28

Bluntness1000 to find out where she disappeared too and what happened!

Why thank you very much. I'm a terrible disappointment IRL.

Your others are good. Plus Graphista and AnyFucker.

I'd REALLY like to meet the Midnight Misogynist on FWR though. Away from my home and in a public place, obviously. Just to see what the Jeff is going on with him. Would he hate women IRL or be different.

I'd also like to meet every one of the bloody brilliant women who used Relationships to leave abusive men. They are all brave and awe-inspiring and I'd love to do a PhD on them and work out how to support women going forward. Actually use this place for some real change.

Redkatagain · 16/02/2024 17:56

Prh47bridge and collaborate, just to see if their appearances match up to the images Inhave in my head

I will second Prh47bridge, collaborate, pigletjohn, and mumneedswine as being very helpful and generous with their specialist knowledge.

I too would like to meet the famous Cheddar et al, although I’m sure toddlerteaplease is just as lovely as her cats 😂

pumpkinpiee · 16/02/2024 20:35

NonPlayerCharacter · 16/02/2024 19:38

Well you know where to find her!

Very true 😂

There used to be twice yearly or so meet ups back in the day. Mostly in London to be fair. MNHQ even turned up on occasion.

tuvamoodyson · 16/02/2024 20:38

Nobody.

Yes, yes and yes.

Also add RedToothBrush and Datun, both of whom I have learned so much from. Either of them should be PM.

Mummyoflittledragon because she almost always posts what I'm thinking, so I never feel the need to post.

OpalOrchid · 16/02/2024 20:44

The meet ups were just the same old cliques.

rrf · 16/02/2024 20:47

It's got to be AnyFucker
