Mods, feel free to delete this if it's not okay!

I've been here some months now, and I've noticed a lot of little in-jokes around that come from old threads, some of which are in Classics, etc. Usually when I come across a reference that I don't recognize, someone is kind enough to explain it to me (and sometimes even link the original thread!) but I thought it might be nice, and kind of fun, to gather together as many as we can in one thread!

I'll start. The one that always sticks out to me is the one about the Mexican house thief. That's from this thread.

The other one that had me in absolute stitches was the saga of Sharon, the wasp, and the wine that never reached the carpet, which starts here, and apparently continues here with someone "t-rexing in the Asda"... Hysterical, I tell you.

I'm really hoping some long-time MNers will be along to link to such joys as "cancel the check"; "pom bears"; "Maui"; and the one where everyone MumsNetted as their toddlers :D

(I'm sorry if this is against some unwritten rule. It's not REALLY a thread about a thread, it's a thread about a lot of threads...)

I know, TheDuck, it only seems like a couple of years ago, at most Tardis

Nocabbageinmyeye · 19/07/2017 19:11

The one where the op asked a question about a buggy, got no replies, and then came back about three years later and mistakenly answered her own question, I cried it was hilarious

And the poo puoffe is hysterical!!

We're still waiting for that antique safe to be open. Was it Australia?

PeppaPigTastesLikeBacon · 19/07/2017 19:21

I think one of the first ones I read that I actually kept up with (think it was last year as I was on mat leave) was the sushi thread where a work colleague would take the posters sushi out of the fridge to fill it with her shit everyday

Buggy thread www.mumsnet.com/Talk/general_advice_tips/752184-hauck-stroller-pound-25-Asda* for you Nocabbageinmyeye*.

In fairness to the OP, it was back in the day before you could use colours to highlight OP's and your own posts. Although, unfortunately, she hadn't recognised that it was her own thread from 3 years (?) previously! I guess she NCd after that?

I'm in Christchurch, and I'm fine, thanks! Safely tucked up in a nice warm bed (days off for my birthday) with plenty of food and liquor drink, Mumsnet for entertainment, and a stack of Asterix comics in case the power goes out! Smile

Two words: your minge
My God, I laughed and still do.

Lostmyunicorn · 19/07/2017 19:38

I loved the one about the hair bobble plate that was stuck down behind the loo. I spent ages trying to work out how the OP could get the plate out...

Shadow666 · 19/07/2017 19:38

There's something about Peter Andre but I have no idea what it is. Does anyone know?

OlennasWimple · 19/07/2017 19:49

Peter Andre really really loves his kids, because he tells us this at every opportunity and no-one else has ever loved their kids like he has - is that what you mean, Shadow?

The poo troll!

muminmanchester · 19/07/2017 20:01

Love this thread. A very funny hour just spent flicking through some of them!

pandarific · 19/07/2017 20:20

OMG the Christmas carcass was hilarious - thread here for the uninitiated.

Thread where OP's DP got so angry in an argument he CAME on her assignment lol

EarlyWelcome · 19/07/2017 20:54

I've just read through the wine on the wall thread and I'm literally crying at the 'bungle with two backs' comment by Bagda. 😂😂

elephantoverthehill · 19/07/2017 21:03

Does anyone know the thread to the lemon drizzle cake? I missed out on it and have actually just baked one for my DCs teachers tomorrow.

FrancesHaHa · 19/07/2017 21:17

I think Lemon Drizzle cake is in Classics.

Balonz is my all time favourite

Maverick66 · 19/07/2017 21:22

Yoni massage was by far the funniest thing I have ever read.
Also when a poster called the other posters on BigBrother thread a load of PWB (posh whore bitches)
