I'd love to know where all my cheese sandwiches disappear to. I make one each morning for my lunch, turn my back and they just vanish into thin air.

😂

This!! It’s absolute madness yet is just accepted. They get some clown who knows diddly squat about, say, health or education and let them start calling the shots. Michael Gove and Jeremy Hunt spring to mind…

in his memoir, Rory Stewart puts it down to the organic way in which Parliament developed and the incredibly old fashioned idea that an Oxbridge degree fits a gentleman for any job anywhere doncha know. Which may have been true-ish when most of the globe was pink and peasants did what they were told or died and were replaced, but in a modern society is crazy. See also: quality of debate in at PMQs.

But no-one seems able to admit or address the question and so we beat on, borne ceaselessly back into the past. Or something.

I want to know who the people are who pick up their dog's poo, put it in a poo bag and then fling the poo bag into a hedge or a tree.

Why would anyone do that?!

If you're a poo bag flinger, please explain yourself.

I did put the poo bag down yesterday and forgot to pick it up. Thankfully it's still there today

What happened to that ironing board?

What is this referencing, please?

Scaffoldingisugly · 06/03/2024 10:42

Someone living in a tiny flat made a thread about having lost her ironing board... I think possibly Miss Marple herself offered up services but it was still never found.

Why are things left on the stairs to be taken up to various bedrooms, put away, only visible to me ?

I think she was a virgin, because the stakes would have been too great of she got pregnant. Kings could have bastards all over the place, but it would be dangerous for a queen.

On the same subject, how did Robert Dudley's wife really die? Elizabeth seemed to suspect what really happened as she didn't then marry Dudley.

New Xmas special coming up so we should find out the answer to that one at least.....unless they string it out even longer to boost James Cordens every further flagging career.

Have they confirmed it? Last I heard was there was a possibility but nothing was certain.

@Ifimnottheonethenwhydoesmysoufeelbad

Way back in the day a poster lost her ironing board in her living room. It was there one minute and gone the next. Never did turn up. Drove us all crazy with the suggestions

More in line with the tone of the thread, where is my black top?

Seriously, where? Not in the drawers (mine, DH's or DC's), not in the washing basket, not drying.

My dd used to nick my favourite clothes when she was a teenager.

ALongHardWinter · 06/03/2024 18:12

Where did my Christmas tree go? Disappeared in 1995,never to be seen again.

Why when I park, with loads of spaces on either side of me, do I come out of the supermarket and some fucker has parked right next to my door?

Oh yes, this happened to me today. I wasn't even near the entrance.

Where the other sock goes? I knew I put both socks into the washing machine but only one came out 🤷🏻‍♀️.

They turn in to Tupperware lids that don’t fit the tubs.

Thunderpunt · 06/03/2024 18:28

As well as the ironing board mystery...... the ding dong-y weight things out of another Mnetters Grandfather clock which went missing?

BlackCountryWench2 · 06/03/2024 18:50

Re: the mystery of the missing socks. I made this to go in our laundry room - just hang up the odd sock until you find its partner!

Oh what a fabulous phrase: "the ding dong-y weight things" - I'm pinching that!

This made me laugh.

My dog can’t hear ignores her name but can understand chicken immediately and runs in. I’d love to know why her hearing is so selective.

Is it male?

HoneyWogan · 06/03/2024 19:06

OhcantthInkofaname · 06/03/2024 19:03

Is it male?

PP referred to the dog as 'her' twice, so guessing not male...

I'm not particularly interested in this but in terms of mystery, why has the Jack the Ripper mythology grown up in the way it has to the extent of guided walks in Whitechapel to the murder sites, and businesses named after him (looking at you, 'Jack the Chipper' fish and chip shop in Greenwich).

I don't get it. No 'Harold Chipman' fish and chip shops I'm aware of so why are we okay with the murderer of Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly having all this pop culture stuff?

(Sorry OP, I get this isn't what you were after but I've been thinking about it a lot lately...)

I'm a history teacher. I am aware than some colleagues in other schools sadly do this as a unit, whereas excellent work by others focus on the lives of the women based on the superb book 'The Five' by Hallie Ruben hold.

It's the same when at the cinema - all that space and some fucker sits right in front of my seat and reclines theirs. (Or as happened once, they had an argument!)

Completelydonechick · 06/03/2024 19:39

Many of my things end up with the sheets in the airing cupboard! Try there!!
