Have just read amateur arse doctor (how did that one pass me by?) - hysterical.

Sunshinemummy · 07/09/2007 14:15

Oh and the one when someone (can't remember who) kept trying to do links and failing.

The one where the woman tried to get advice on getting a waterproof bed cover, and managed to fill the entire active convos threads....I think she posted it about 70 times....I was PMSL at that onNot sure how you could resurect it though

Cods lost tampon

The one where everyone posted their most embarasing moment andthere was someone who admitted to running the wrong way up a down escalator and had to pretend that she meant to do it!

Oh God have actual tears running down my face from reading the Amateur Arse Doctor one. There isn't an emoticon to express how funny it is!

DumbledoresGirl · 07/09/2007 14:32

Pouch of Douglas one makes me laugh most.

Would it still be possible to find the thread Lavenderr started about pheasant shooting?

Funny how these threads lodge in your mind alongside classic episodes of Fawlty Towers and Dad's Army.

Blandmum · 07/09/2007 14:37

a variety of 'Stupid things you have shouted at the kids' were good too

If I dare be so egotistical as to post one that I started, which had MI's tryuly magnificent 'Do you like nice plates?' l;ine

Don't think you can post it there to begin with you don't know it's going to be a classic thread when you start it. Have to request for threads to be moved there I guess.

I suggest the threads should be locked once they're moved otherwise there'll be hundreds of posts building up on them saying 'great thread' and suchlike until they get so big you can't open them.

CountessDracula · 07/09/2007 15:04

There was a thread in for sale (or maybe it was called something else in those days, was it buying and selling?) where someone advertised some really awful things eg eternal beau plates and we all took teh piss mercilessley and it was very very funny

WideWebWitch · 07/09/2007 15:30

DEf zombie plan and cloned ones yes please

The hunt for Strawberry

'My husband wees sitting down and it's put me off him'
Not sure if this was a troll or what but the responses were hilarious.

quint · 09/09/2007 09:42

my old boss did that (I accidently walked in on him one time - he left the door unlocked) never heard of anyone else doing this!

DumbledoresGirl · 09/09/2007 09:43

How do you know your boss wasn't doing the other? Did you hang around to see?

SpawnChorus · 09/09/2007 09:48

Charmkin's attempts at linking made me weep with laughter

quint · 09/09/2007 10:33

Dumbledoresgirl - he was sitting down, facing the wrong way and then he came and explained to me! Something to do with boarding school apparently!!

DumbledoresGirl · 09/09/2007 12:04

ooer, sitting facing backwards? Now that is odd. Must admit, that position had not occurred to me!

Sunshinemummy · 18/09/2007 11:48

The thread 'One day I woke up and there was Jesus, I was amazed but had my breakfast nonetheless' is an absolutel classic. Please put that in here.

bossybritches · 19/09/2007 21:20

Weeping with laughter at UCM's brave thread!

bossybritches · 19/09/2007 21:24

Actually I nominate the "stupidity "thread that's active at the mo'. Haven't snorted, snuffled & wept so much in ages!!
