I have just searched for it and can't bloody find it.

It was about 3 years ago, was started by cod and was something like 'what snazzy recipes did your mother cook in the 70s' or something.

It was hysterical.

I also loved the thread where we were invaded by the pram huns, Crap Tips (in classics but sadly useless as the links don't work), Shopping lists, "is that you UCM" and "Linda is a hospital administrator"

Also really loved the lefties threads during the election last year.

And my own "fuck I might be pregnant" saga Grin

The thread about her stepson putting on 5 kilos or whatever it was was definitely Bonsoir's finest hour; it was absolutely classic Anna, frankly. She's gone all reasonable lately, not like her at all.

They're probably long gone but the first time I ever read the Poster Formally Known as Madamez describe married people as "monogamy fetishists" or Xenia describe housewives as prostitutes were eye openers, to say the least.

Recently I feared significant abdominal injury when reading the TripAdviser thread. There was one quite some time ago in chat where we all posted ponctastic children's furniture links, that was hilarious. And dare I say it, Moldies and the Daily Mail invasion was all just a bit funny in retrospect. Or is that just me?

EduStudent · 08/04/2011 20:37

It's gone into classics Grin

Portofino · 08/04/2011 21:19

Bonsoir has admitted to posting in a provocative way as she likes to study human nature, and is obviously superior Hmm

ShirleyKnot · 08/04/2011 21:23

I remember that one Georgimama. By the end her arms were flailing widly as she backpeddled.

heehee

LucyInTheSkyWithDiazepam · 08/04/2011 21:51

Oh. My. God.

Pouffe of poo...I am in pain from laughing so hard and the dog, who was asleep with his head on my lap, has moved to the other sofa and is throwing me filthy looks for disturbing his kip.

ShirleyKnot · 08/04/2011 21:52

I found a good one today, anyone remember Dave Tesla and his pounds per words thread?

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/252806-is-this-the-worst-and-most-selfabsorbed-piece-of-journalism/AllOnOnePage

In case no-one has shared this yet. It is not possible to do justice to the article by mere description. Funniest thing I have ever read & the responses to it got me hooked on mumsnet.

MmeSurvivedLent · 08/04/2011 22:06

Oh, thanks for this thread.

Just wept with laughter at the cryptic, triptych, lipstick, dipstick thread.

exhausted2011 · 08/04/2011 22:10

you'd need a month to get through all these!!

Georgimama · 09/04/2011 09:43

The tornado journalist article thread is dangerous to those with weak pelvic floors, I'd just like to point that out.

Bumperlicioso · 09/04/2011 11:23

What about Arizona's weird baby name thread, she was v good about it.

Cattleprod · 09/04/2011 17:39

Arizonagirl started her name quest under the name Mike1969, and got quite upset that everyone was taking the piss out of her suggested name of Beauden. Then she morphed into Arizonagirl, adopted some good humour and ended up with several very long threads full of wacky but well meant name suggestions, including a list of the full latin botanical names for an entire arboretum iirc. I think she ended up with a baby Skyler in the end, which was a mumsnetter's suggestion.

MilkNoSugarPlease · 10/04/2011 21:22

The one about stupid things done at work I think, I remember one poster fell over a corpse....I HOWLED with laughter, cant find the damn thread though :(

And another stupid things one where a MNer threw the sofa out the window, missed the skip and it landed on the car!

If anyone can find me these, I'll adore you always!

PortBlackSandwitch · 10/04/2011 21:34

Ooooh i am so pleased the thread is still about - can't believe it was that long ago Grin.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 10/04/2011 23:56

I loved that one too, Milk, was it the same one where a nurse (or similar) tried to treat a man she found lying in the road, before she realised that he was unblocking the drain or something?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 11/04/2011 00:39

HERE it is :)

MilkNoSugarPlease · 11/04/2011 06:15

Yes!! Oh elephants I loove you!!!

BringBackGoingForGold · 11/04/2011 10:27

Oh god, that thread is too funny! Cannot read it in public; I'll embarrass myself. Thanks so much for finding and reposting it.

BrainSurgeon · 11/04/2011 12:04

You guys are going to get me fired

BringBackGoingForGold · 14/04/2011 12:42

hormones, so sorry for the rudeness, only just gone back through this and seen that you reposted the working-class child thread for me. Thank you! PMSL.

caramelwaffle · 14/04/2011 13:13

Oh, and "Penguins", of course.
