Wtf is it with grown women and Tigger/Winnie the Pooh obsessions?

I've meant to post this for ages. I've lost count of the number of seemingly perfectly normal, sane, professionally qualified in some cases, women who have a Tigger or WTP 'thing' - what's that all about? I just don't get it. Are you one? Explain it then please! These are grown women with large Tiggers/WTPs on their beds/dressing tables, it's weird.

I know, can you imagine looking back at the photo's, they'd all look the same!!!!

mogwai · 06/02/2006 21:58

pmsl expat

she doesn't have men for long. And it was her mum's house. Really, really nice person, but "desperation" written on her forehead, and bloody Eeyore everywhere, even now she has her own flat.

Oh yes, and she also hosted a kids' party for her 30th birthday. We had to play pass the parcel and eat sherbet dib dabs. Painful.

welshboris · 06/02/2006 21:59

Yeah,
"oh look theres Jacob in his disney babygro"

"oh look theres Jacob in his disney babygro"

"erm how many disney babygros did Jacob have!!?"

BethAndHerBrood · 06/02/2006 22:01

LOL WB!!!!

And don't forget the disney babygro!!!!

'Oh yes, and she also hosted a kids' party for her 30th birthday. We had to play pass the parcel and eat sherbet dib dabs. Painful.'

FFS, mogwai! Does she realise Michael Jackson's single these days? Sounds like a match made in heaven there. They could Winnie role play over in Neverland.

Sorry, but I'd have thought she was stoned if I showed up at her party and it was like that. Seriously, I'd have asked where she got the soapie and where she was hiding the bongs.

mogwai · 06/02/2006 22:31

It was worse than you can imagine. She "displayed" her childhood annuals (especially Crackerjack ones) on her window ledge, along with a Carebear, a Metal Mickey and a Girls World.

The food was all sweets and chicken paste sandwiches (supposedly to remind us of our childhood). Everyone was absolutely starving.

But the games....beyond the pale. She presided over "pin the tail on the donkey" and "musical chairs", handing out toy necklaces to the winners and spare ones to the losers "so that you don't fight". Then her mum and dad turned up, for good measure, and she blew out the candles on her cake.

She needs a bloke, sharpish

expatinscotland · 06/02/2006 22:34

She doesn't need a bloke, mogwai, b/c the kind of weirdy who'd go for that prolly isn't worth having. She needs her head examined is what she needs.

Parties like hers are the reason I never go to parties w/o a flask in my handbag. Cuz you just never know when you'll need a nip. Or two. Or the entire contents of the flask.

welshboris · 06/02/2006 22:36

Mogwai I think she may win the prize for being the saddest woman ever.

Id be surprised if anyone knows someone sadder than her

Not only does she need a man, some counselling and a life she also needs a good seeing too

That'll knock the sherbit dips out of her

mogwai · 06/02/2006 22:36

yeah well, Expat, I know that NOW.

Gonna buy that hip flask, just in case she gets married

mogwai · 06/02/2006 22:38

does anyone know anyone sadder? I hope so, otherwise, I'm saddest mum on MN, by association

expatinscotland · 06/02/2006 22:39

If she gets married, f*ck the flask, get a stylish hobo bag and put a whole damn bottle in there plus a pack of fags for good measure. Blended whisky goes down well neat.

You can tell I've been to some sad ass parties in my day, but I have to say the one you describe is right up there w/the one I went to that turned out to be me + all the hostess's 'Divorce Devestation Support Network'. She passed out self-help books as favours. She should have passed out razor blades. I had to call a taxi, cuz I was too p*ssed to drive home after that evening.

mogwai · 06/02/2006 22:42

oh I can top THAT

I had a friend who was obsessed by Lancashire Cricket Club. She was convinced that the players knew and liked her.

Her parents were fairly wealthy, so when she graduated, (after having shoe-horned LCCC into her final dissertation somehow), her parents hired out the whole pavillion and put on a huge spread. She invited the entire team, natch.

Three people turned up. None of them were cricketers (me, my boyfriend and a girl I knew).

She got VERY pissed.

mogwai · 06/02/2006 22:43

so which girl was sadder?

expatinscotland · 06/02/2006 22:45

Gawd, that's a tough call, mogwai. THREE people? v. pass the parcel.

Hmmm. I think the cricket gal was.

welshboris · 06/02/2006 22:46

If the pass the parcel girl gets married before me, then my life is officially over

mogwai · 06/02/2006 22:48

I attract them.

The third and final sad cow was the third guest at the party (with my boyfriend and I).

She stalks blokes.

She was obsessed by a bloke who she was kind of shagging. He moved to Antwerp or somewhere that sounded similar. She got word he was home, so took an entire week of annual leave and sat in the window halfway up the stairs waiting for him to drive past the house (he did, on his way back to the airport...pmsl)

now who's the saddest of the trio?

expatinscotland · 06/02/2006 22:51

How do you kind of shag someone? Is that when they just put it in a couple of inches? Or don't have an orgasm inside you?

Sorry, that's crude I know, but shagging's never been a question of degree for me .

mogwai · 06/02/2006 22:55

ok definitely shagging, but only when it suited him. He used to come out of the pub at the back of her mum's house and go to the chippy for a fishcake (and took one home for the dog as well - which I always thought was a charming addition to the scenario).

She used to "accidentally" bump into him at the chippy about 11.30pm. And she was stick thin, so no fishcakes for her!

mogwai · 06/02/2006 22:55

I've answered my own question. Fishcake girl beats the others hands down.

muma3 · 06/02/2006 23:01

I'm a big tigger collecter.I have over 200 items of him from rubbers to 5ft cut out from the movie years ago.
I store over 90% of the merchandise. The only things I have on show of him is phone case and house keyrings (3)
I suffer from anxiety and somedays just the sight of his smile snaps me out of the frown. He was the first cartoon character to get my attention when younger. I only collect the tigger that is in the tigger movie. I don't like his face in the newer episodes
Don't judge someone for a collection if not thrown in your face. Some collect rubbers and stamps or even postcards and frame them.
I as a 45year old find also that collecters should not have to explain really but I thought I would post a reply
