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

I'd say @ArabellaScott, who is so knowledgeable about women's rights.

@RealFeminist, for being so funny (Nicola Sturgeon takeoff, for those who haven't seen her posts).

@AnyFucker, for telling it like it is.

Mine would be one that I've met loads in RL then lost details - a Hannah B.

The other that I used to love talking to, sharing shit and having a laugh with - Paula W.

Message me if you think you know who I am. You can drop hints!

Ooh did we meet in an office?

MrsTerryPratchett is someone whose posts I tend to find myself nodding along whilst reading. I don’t notice usernames a huge amount but she’s one I do tend to spot.

JTRSOP · 17/02/2024 10:47

None of them. I’ve been here since 2011 and I never remember anyone 😂

DahliaMacNamara · 17/02/2024 10:51

@BaroqueInterlude Pearl necklaces convey so much more sex appeal than cheap beads.

Got to love a popularity contest.
Not.

Is it a popularity contest ? For me if I met someone in RL it would be out of interest. Is their personality the same in RL are they how I thought they would be. Etc

@lucysmam and the lady with the grumpy cats - @toddler tea please? Something like that?

I would soooo love to meet them. MN celebrities!

MN celebrities? Really?

RockyRogue1001 · 17/02/2024 11:29

Hilarious @Lwrenn

You're my new favourite poster just from that post alone ❤️💕❤️

ClaudiaNaughton · 17/02/2024 11:59

Prettybird as she's from Glasgow where I was born tho I often disagree with her! and Spiketheholly? who always had great gardening advice but I think got fed up answering questions and has disappeared.

ClaudiaNaughton · 17/02/2024 12:01

Ooh yes @anyfucker she's great.

dapsnotplimsolls · 17/02/2024 12:02

The MAFS posters 😄

Stigsmother · 16/02/2024 22:28

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats, I think we have a lot in common Grin

Thank you very much - I'm honoured 😁.

I'll second @JaceLancs' comments and repeat the nomination of all the cats and owners on the litter tray - such a supportive and helpful area of the site.
I have of course already met @TCsDad.

You know how to get me sharing some of my chicken, don't you? 😁

Lwrenn · 17/02/2024 13:22

Iam4eels · 17/02/2024 10:18

Where can I buy tickets and can I pre-book for Liz stage please?

No pre booking sadly, we're northern, we just have to duke it out I'm afraid.
But by the end of it we'll be each others kids aunty and probably maids of honour, so silver linings! 😁

Cwtshcwtsh · 17/02/2024 13:24

Definitely @MrsTerryPratchett . Always wise, insightful and interesting. Sounds like the mum I wish I’d had.

BlindurErBóklausMaður · 17/02/2024 13:29

You could use the leftover chicken (after you've fed 900 for 3 days) instead of lasagne sheets in the Mumsnet lasagne. Then everyone would compliment you on it!

Fitzbillie · 17/02/2024 13:36

@BaroqueInterlude I always muddle up Xenia with the poster with a gazillion DC who all went to Oxbridge too 😂They both post on higher education/Oxbridge/medicine threads and I think they might both be lawyers with lots of high flying DC.

I once posted a similar story about pearls and glass beads. Maybe that was me but many many name changes ago.

DahliaMacNamara · 17/02/2024 13:43

You may have done, @Fitzbillie , but on this occasion the jewellery is mine, whether I like it or not.

Oblomov24 · 17/02/2024 13:50

Books tickets for Mn festival, sounds fab.
I want to go to a Mn party. Can't we have a Christmas party like we used to have?

Pluto46 · 17/02/2024 14:11

Someone once started a thread marvelling as to how/why MN employed over 100 staff. I should imagine the answer is that many are the aforementioned prevalent posters starting or posting on various, often controversial, threads.

Who is the other one if not Xenia then? I could’ve sworn that was her name. Surely there can’t be two of them 😆

Fitzbillie · 17/02/2024 15:18

I don’t know, @UsefulUsername, but it is bugging me too 😂 Unfortunately, I really ought to be doing other things rather than wasting time on MN… You could probably find out if you searched the Oxbridge and Medicine threads on Higher Education. One of her brood did medicine at Oxford, I think. If you do, come back and tell us 😂

@DahliaMacNamara it seems tales about pearl and glass bead necklaces are more common than I thought 😂

LoseLooseLucy · 17/02/2024 15:23

I wouldn’t mind a couple of nights sleeping in @Crumbs‘ boudoir.
