What happened to Findus pizza fingers

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?

I’d probably go to “Harold Chipman Fish and Chips”. I’d use “The Yorkshire Chipper” tree surgeons. I wouldn’t buy soft furnishings from “Wayne’s Cushions” though. Too soon.

And why are so many dog beds so hard to wash? They don't have zip off covers or can't go in the machine without balling up. I mean wtf why.

How can so many people here have lost their ironing boards? Do you all live in mansions with hundreds of cupboards and a maze-like basement?

It’s just one, famous, missing ironing board. From a previous thread.

AIBU to ask you to explain missing ironing board | Mumsnet

Hi, This may seem trivial to some but it has totally freaked me out to the extent I am spending the night with friends. Please help me see reason!...

Why does my sleeve or belt only get caught on the door handle when I’m already annoyed?!

Oh good question

Why does my sleeve or belt only get caught on the door handle when I’m already annoyed?!

I can solve this for you. It's because you are in temper you are moving faster (huffy stomping!) and you also aren't paying attention because you are focused on your problem so you are more likely to catch something because you are huffy stomping and carelessly distracted.

Why, when we get restaurant food, dine in or takeaway, if there is a mistake to the order, it’s always mine?

I want to know where the political talent in the USA has disappeared to when it's Trump and Biden up for the Presidency of the USA?
I just don't understand how this pair are supposedly the cream of the crop🤔

Why can't bra manufacturers get their head around the fact that some women have a small back and big boobs? Why do they assume if you have a GG/HH cup you must be a 38/40?

Horrible criminal aside but Harold Chipman is a stroke of genius!

I'd like to know where the fuck the small lump of cheese I was grating ended up when it and the grater slipped out of my fingers!

It was nowhere on the worktop, not inside anything on the worktop, not on the window sill, not in the sink and not on the floor. I even looked inside the bloody toaster! If it'd landed on the floor my dog would have snaffled it and I'd have heard her but she stayed exactly where she was.

This happened last week and I still don't know where that fucking piece of cheese is!!!

Rat stole it

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.

I used to have a really lovely black cashmere blend top with a hood. Draped just so, lovely item... Where did it go?!

Februaryismyfavourite · 05/03/2024 20:44

Why is there liquid everywhere when I only knocked over a small glass of squash? I know physics will explain this but it's not rational for liquid to increase in volume just by being knocked over. It just isn't.

Why is Gregg Wallace on TV so much when I've never met anyone who likes him?

This is one of the world's greatest mysteries and I need it solved, either by an answer to the question, or by him no longer being on TV. (The latter is by far the best option.)

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

I watched a video which showed a sock manoeuvring itself between the stupid rubber seal thing and the drum and disappearing inside the machine.

Where is Kate of course!

Sorry couldn't resist. Don't really care.

Why is it some people on public transport decide that the journey is the best timento make phone calls loudly? Do they think everyone else is quiet just so they can make their call? Do they understand that the vehicle is still able to move independently of their gob?

Why my ndn still have their Xmas tree up in March

My ndn too, plus the outside lights. They leave it till around September every year...started this in 2020. They think they're "cool"!

JohnPrescottsPyjamas · 05/03/2024 20:54

Don’t judge me too harshly, but I think there’s a team of little old ladies out to frustrate me and I want to know why?

They clearly communicate by some kind of walkie talkie system as well, because if I’m in a rush, one will step out in front of me on either the pavement or armed with a shopping trolley in the supermarket. The reason I suspect they are all liaising, is they instinctively know if I’m about to step around them as, although they are in front, they move exactly the same way at the same time so they’re clearly tipping each other off. Eventually, the one ahead of will peel off like in a spy movie, only to be instantly replaced by another, which obviously takes a bit of clever coordination.
They also know exactly what’s on my shopping list too because they will congregate and arrange their trollies around the exact shelves I am heading to.

I did solve one mystery

I was walking from the kitchen to the lounge-pasta bowl full of pasta in one hand and a drink in the other

I dropped a piece of pasta out of the bowl-i saw it fall

Hands full,so I carried on and went back to pick it up

Could I fuck has find it-i even opened the cupboard under the stairs in my quest to find it (pasta is too big to roll under the gap at the bottom of the door)

mystery solved when I went back to my pasta to find my ds's dog sat by the now empty bowl with a half satisfied/half guilty look on his face

Best laugh is-normally he won't eat bloody pasta-ds says he looks longingly at it but won't touch it if offered

Guess stolen pasta tastes better

Years ago,I moved in with dp-i bought two sets of four cutlery (so 8 forks,spoons,knives and teaspoons) from asda

A year or so later we had 8 knives,8 spoons and 8 tablespoons

And 3 forks

So I bought a set of 10 forks from ebay-they arrived,where washed and put in the drawer-by my maths we should have had 13 forks

But now we have 8 knives,8 spoons,8 teaspoons and 1000 forks

Fuck knows where the rest have come from

Teaspoons,socks and glasses etc are just one of life's mysteries-i swear they go into corners and breed

I came on to the thread to ask precisely where the fuck my fourth fork has gone.
It's only me and DC here so we have a set of four of everything.
I've looked everywhere. I've washed up and loaded the dishwasher at least 3 times since I lost it. It must be at your house 😆🤣

I also found a toddler sock in my duvet cover not so long ago. I have moved house since having a toddler over 5 years ago!

Who the hell we are meant to vote for when the choices are Roland Rat Sunak or Don’t know what a woman is Starmer.

Also I’d like to know why my husband refuses to throw old diaries away. From 2012!!!!!

When we cleared out my late grandads house I found a 1974 diary. Turned the page to July and he’d written “sisters name” born at “whatever time it was”. Lovely keepsake for my sister ❤️
