What threads have you seen on here that have lodged themselves into your brain?

For me it's the lady who was gifted a periscope by her dh which was completely random and hilarious.

Also the lady who upset a crow and never came back! Assumed she and her dog were eaten by the crows.

Oh yes, I'd forgotten about @mortalenemy 's fantastic threads. Tagging in the vain hope of a teeny update...?

Also the Savernake forest thread 😱

I was going to say this too. It was so creepy. It was well written though. That poster should write a book.

I live close to the forest and I will not drive that way alone at night still to this day.

Makes some journeys interestingly long 😅

The one where the OPs husband was killed in a Paragliding accident and over time she discovered things about him that she didn't know. His accident was reported in the local papers.
The other one was where the OPs partner had passed away and she was caring for the partners elderly mum and she was torn about the living arrangement and being her carer. In the end the mum agreed to move to a home and there was a lot of mixed emotions.

I'd be curious to read this
Any chance of a link?

Loving this thread bringing up some threads I had totally forgotten about. Some sad, some happy and some utterly bewildering.

Utterknowitall · 02/09/2024 15:10

Can anyone help with finding the thread where the OP's husband was leaving her for a tiktoker he'd never actually met in real life? I often wonder if she's ok.

DollieBantrysPantry · 02/09/2024 16:36

Two for me @Lily007 and @MoreLegsThanMe They both had husbands who left them for the OW and wrote for ages, getting lots of support. They both suddenly stopped writing and I often wonder how they are.

Just remembered the tantric sex and cardigan one. I was crying with laughter at that one.

I'm glad the tradition carried on. I used to love reading them on here.

Could someone either link or explain the penis beaker thread? I've seen it mentioned on here over the years but couldn't find it after a search and it's intriguing me as it's been mentioned so many times on here

I think she asked if anyone else's partners also had a beaker of water they kept on the bedside table to dunk their penises into after having sex. Or something along those lines anyway

This one was hilarious but infuriating. She just couldn't see that it wasn't the girlfriend's responsibility to pay for her brother's kids, and felt that she should be delighted to get rid of her beloved pet in order to provide for them.

I wish she'd have come back and answered some questions however! Also not surprised that she didn't. I think the crux of it was that she was so relieved to get rid of the dosser of a brother (who seemingly had been dossing with her/with her at the family home for however long) that she wanted advice on how to help him stay living with the new girlfriend. Who was having none of it (still want to buy her a drink)!

@Uriahsnose

OMG I remember that thread! I had to lift my jaw off the floor.

Wonder where the brother is living now?

Uriahsnose · 17/09/2024 16:44

Hopefully on the OP of that thread's sofa @AcrossthePond55 but only because she was so infuriating! Ideally he's sorted himself out, got his own place for his children and left the girlfriend and her dog alone. But somehow I doubt it!

BiscuityBoyle · 17/09/2024 18:40

I often wonder if the couple in ‘cancel the cheque’ ever got back to the op. It was international news! I often wonder if they realised the thread was about them.
