Neither were even remotely funny. Don't waste your time

I thought the Sistine chapel was a wind up at the time (I think I say so on the thread under a different UN) and still do.

mrsmalaprop · 22/03/2026 22:11

We are so much more cynical these days. I think you’d only get a few posts into any of these threads now before everyone said ‘this is a wind up’

JKGalbraithsTable · 22/03/2026 22:21

I remember when it was all cubes of poo and rivers of sweetcorn round here to prove you’d been around a bit…

Oh wow, the Penis Beaker thread was the one that brought me here. It was featured on a few websites and possibly in a couple of newspapers, as it was a really funny thread. And now I realise that I have been here 13 years!

I know some people have been here since God was a boy, but I honestly thought that I had been here about 7 years. Where has the time gone?! Shock

I was around for snapped and farted and Sistine chapel and am on them under a different username. They were both very funny and fun to be part of at the time. There was another AIBU about someone’s DH ruining days out at NT properties and galleries with his farts that was very funny too. I got called immature on that one for finding it so funny.
I need to catch up on penis beaker though.
Another one to look for in classics is when someone served pom bears at a dinner party.

What happened about the tiny Korean lady in the end? Was it a wind-up?

Have to agree with this, i didnt find them funny at all.

CrocusesFlowering · 22/03/2026 22:33

You could add in Pom bears and naice ham - and Balonz while you’re at it 🙄

I like the Mexican house guest 🤣 I want to know where the cheeky neighbours went next!
There is a thread somewhere but here's the story

And the t rex arms!

Fish slice and sex lube was my favourite thread ever. Was hooked and laughed at the support and humour that ensued.

SomedayIllBeSaturdayNight · 22/03/2026 22:33

Cancel the cheque?

DuchessDandelion · 22/03/2026 22:34

What about the fat ball one?

And the hunt for wild gooses?

booksnbaking · 22/03/2026 22:38

And “Your minge!”

(I don’t remember fish slice and sex lube, though 🤔)

WhosMadeline · 22/03/2026 22:39

The fatball was wonderful.
I also loved the one where she had been on MN for ages and always thought “DH” stood for dick head.

JustLookingThanks · 22/03/2026 22:39

What about the little Korean (?) lady who came to watch her son dismantle a summer house and spoke no English. That was a lovely thread! Don't seem to have a link.
And the user 'running in the rain' who was so strong after a break up.

one from last year where someone parked on a poster's land blocking her ?stables gates and so she blocked them in....IIRC a family member had a teddy bears picnic round the blocked in car?

Also the person who moved into a house and had a patch of separate land, she bought with the house, that a neighbour had usurped and was expecting to keep.

tryandbepositive · 22/03/2026 22:40

What was the riddle one, where no one could figure out what it meant? Drove me nuts and it was never concluded.

tryandbepositive · 22/03/2026 22:41

And given this is a TAAT multiple it will likely be zapped

99% of the time on the relationships board, it absolutely does.

Tiny Elderly Korean Lady thread. Safe to say not a wind-up, and quite a lovely thread, imo. OP had/has a nice way with words.

The T Tex arms thread makes me laugh.
