A Viscous attack # 2

Is it okay for me to start a second thread of the highly entertaining viscous attack? Couldn’t see a sequel and don’t want to step foot on anyone’s toes
edited to add: I’m Cattery but with a name change x

Don't most of us do peace work at home? Smile

You mean reffing the kids? Too right!

Seen this on the Education board today.
If anything go’s wrong we won’t get our first choice school for our querky child.

Ive just read that someone used to live on a housing estate that is now “defunked”. Must have had the soul ripped out of it

Was it in Funky Town?

Not a typo but I've just been reading something where the word duplicity was used instead of duplication.

I've just seen a pair of Che Guevara boots on an online auction site.
The brand on them is Chie Mihara. Smile

I'm in a meeting where a slide has just been put up that says 'poorly defined roles are often identified when we invaginate projects that have gone wrong'.

Ouch! 😳

The presenter did notice and apologise

I once saw a corporate presentation where the product could "improve your bustiness"

Was it Zack Polanski and hypnotherapy to increase your bust size? Aka hypnotits.

NamingNoNames · 05/03/2026 12:24

It was nothing to do with hypnotits, just some software for the busty professional.

An aunt has been accused of “sticking her ore in”. The mind boggles! Gold or iron?

Allseeingallknowing · 07/03/2026 13:49

Amother mumsnetter one- pour over travel brochures- should be more careful, perhaps?

There's a current thread where the op is annoyed that an older man "saddled up" to her in a pub.

Chersfrozenface · 08/03/2026 13:16

A poster is worried about a child's "high palette" and speech.

They're those tablets you take to get a good night's sleep aren't they?

Saddle up and ride your pony
Sit around and you'll be lonely
Saddle up and make the dust fly
Sit around and you will just cry
The first step is the longest
When the wind is blowin' strongest
Check out from Heartbreak Hotel
Saddle up your horse and ride Like hell!

NamingNoNames · 08/03/2026 16:51

@CarlStoleMyUnderpants , I remember dancing to that at a nightclub with a tall really nice young man. He died young in an industrial accident.

If I'm ever on Desert Island Discs, you'll know who I am.

Bless him, such a tragic loss. 🙏

Just seen on a Facebook memories page "ah yes, they really were halogen days" 😂

Bare with me.
Is that what naturists say to each other when they meet up?
