Ok, without mentioning those already mentioned!

Northener, Koshka, BettytheBuilder, Notsogummysmummy and Emmylou all live very near to me and are lovely

Yellowfeathers is being induced on friday,

Sugarfree is a top bird who looks gorgeous even in a muddy field and is a fellow brave festival-goer!

Gothicmama,
Showofhands and
Overrun have all been known to dance, drink and fall over in a muddy field now and again too (festival mums!)

Mykidsmum loves Beetlebuses!

Panboy has a very sensitive daughter and loves League of Gentlemen.

St George has a firepit and uses her ceremonial atheme for toasting marshmallows and frightening neighbours

Custy would probably thrash me at pool!

NotanOtter's house probably still smells of smoke after moor fires near her home, and only frequents posh spa towns with posh tea shops!

Papillon is incredibly gifted at writing evocotive prose

Mrs badger knows everything

And Fullmoonfiend is obviously a completely unmemorable nonentity as no-one can remember anything about her, but she doesn't take it personally as she is such a warm, compassionate and non-attention seeking little thing

CountessDracula · 22/08/2006 10:51

pmsl!

OK I have a LOT of MN coincidences, check these out...

I used to work for Hoxtonchick's grandfather and my father and her uncle are best of friends. She worked out who I was by talking to my Dad at a funeral!

My brother used to work with Sophable's dh. We have a number of friends in common.

Enid used to share a flat with my dd's godmother (one of my best friends)

Cod's first boyfriend is a friend of mine

Went to PPH's for lunch and met someone there whose sister I was at school with

As several people have mentioned, Secur's dog was my dog's mum (they came round and saw here yesterday!)

lionheart · 22/08/2006 10:54

Twiglett handpaints these lovely t-shirts with dragons and water melons and things like that on them.

Mrs Badger has excellent general knowledge (knows an awful lot of things about all kinds of stuff).

FrannyandZooey has a passion for Salinger and treasure baskets.

Rhubarb and Custy are not the same person, at all.

Misdee gives dolly makeovers.

VVVQC post while at work.

CD thinks that Winchester is in the "country" and hates 4x4s.

CountessDracula · 22/08/2006 10:56

winchester IS in the country!

CountessDracula · 22/08/2006 10:57

(i also don't hate 4x4s in teh country)

lionheart · 22/08/2006 10:57

That thread still makes me laugh (we've been thinking of moving to Winchester to get back into a city).

CountessDracula · 22/08/2006 10:58

poopy, Blu is SO not a geneticist maybe this thread ought to be "things you thought you knew about mumsnetters"

elliott · 22/08/2006 11:03

www owns an inordinately large number of bras

laudaud · 22/08/2006 11:19

slightly going off the subject. Have you ever met someone you know in RL at a meet up and not known they were an MNer. I would imagine this could be embarassing as it can be easy to open up behind the anonymity of your MN name.

morningpaper · 22/08/2006 11:26

Hunkermunker - is quite keen on breatfeeding
Cod - can type when she is thinking about it and knows lots about STYLE
Motherinferior - writes a lot and is very funny and has two VERY BEAUTIFUL girls
Sunchowder - is American and is a good cook and REALLY LOVELY
Joolstoo - votes Tory
Harpsichordcarrier - is going to share my cell in Holloway
Soupdragon - bakes cakes and drinks sherry all day
DominiConnor - is a boy and really makes me laugh ("Those statistics don't sound right. Are they from the BBC?" still makes me chortle)
FrannyandZooey - has a 14 foot bed
WWB - was a nude model

I'm not sure I've got everything right

morningpaper · 22/08/2006 11:31

(Frieda I didn't clear the birthing pool but I can assure you that I'm never having a home birth because of the mess. I did keep shouting "TURD!" at the midwife who was not fast enough with the seive for my liking.)

Papillon · 22/08/2006 11:34

thank you fullmoon I am very touched, just realised today I missed the deadline for a short story comp cos was away on hols!!

poopy · 22/08/2006 11:40

Isn't she Mrs Fio? ... why did I think she was? Does she work in some sort of clever scientificcy type area though?
at getting that wrong ... LOL

MrsFio · 22/08/2006 11:41

I know that LGJ likes to pretend she's naomi from 'Milkshake' and stalk me...

Hello LGJ and Purplemonkey. I'm actually back in the UK right now going back to Canada mid September. Thanks for the thought!

Frieda · 22/08/2006 12:53

Morningpaper ? I wish you hadn't told me that. It will now be indellibly imprinted on my brain (along with the mental image of a breathless midwife scooping furiously with a seive and still not being quick enough) and I will have mention it every time we have one of these threads.

SherlockLGJ · 22/08/2006 12:55
