Hello all

As you may know, we do like a bit of healthy competition here at MNHQ, and Shrove Tuesday seemed as good an opportunity as any to sort the wheat from the chaff. Come and watch our Mumsnet Big Toss video and tell us who you think wins the toss - based on ambition, style, grace or determination. Alternatively, tweet us @MumsnetTowers using #MMBigToss - and do share far and wide if you like it!

Er can I make a request that some UN election monitors are called in? It seems to me that some intimidatory tactics are being used on this thread...

RebeccaMumsnet · 04/03/2014 16:55

I've just been sacked on twitter for this but #AmyToWin

But you're all wonderful tossers Grin

RowanMumsnet · 04/03/2014 16:58

Can I just point out that AmyMumsnet is in fact the only entrant with direct access to a ban hammer.

I've just banned you!

MalcolmTuckersMistress · 04/03/2014 17:06

Justine of course because she's bribed me. That is a lovely technique!!

AmyMumsnet · 04/03/2014 17:07

Would I get fired for real for banning Justine?

Would it be worth it to raise the tossing trophy in triumph?

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 04/03/2014 17:10

Someone with the banhammer? Just sayin'! Grin

"And if Tech is in there, will he bring down the whole site if it doesn't go whichever way he wants it to go?"

Well, (main)Tech lives in, and works from, New York - so I doubt he's been involved in the tossing Grin

JuniperTisane · 04/03/2014 17:45

Justine's toss is very extravagant and wildly flung. I'm dubious that the pancake she caught is actually the same one she sent up Hmm

Sue's toss was neat.

Amy's was quietly confident

Sarah comes across as a professional tosser though so she gets my vote.

HannahHorvath · 04/03/2014 18:21

Sue because I was transfixed by her b@@bies...

... but if we're going on tossing alone. Then clearly Justine is the winner.

Aren't we supposed to consider difficulty level? Justine's was by far the most challenging attempt. Beautifully executed with flair and finesse. It's a 10 from me Bob.

does Justine have a background in Javelin - if so that is kind of cheating

Thank you Malcolm - I'll get right on the other thing [taps nose].

Shock What are you implying Juniper?

At last! A connoisseur.

OwlCapone · 04/03/2014 19:06

I'm voting Justine

ExcuseTypos · 04/03/2014 19:44

I'm voting Sue.

There was no flailing about, just controlled and straight forward.

Smile
DownstairsMixUp · 04/03/2014 21:07

Loving the dramatic music Grin I'd say Sue. Straight forward, no flapping about!

babyheaves · 04/03/2014 21:29

For a straight clean toss it had to go to Amy, but Justine for flair.

Hmm. Tricky.

Hix · 04/03/2014 21:35

You wouldn't want Justine doing that in your kitchen though, would you?

DaleyBump · 04/03/2014 21:49

Would the winner not be the one who ate the pancake?

Nyx · 04/03/2014 22:01

Sue, absolutely. Justine's was wild and uncontrolled, and I bet there were 70 out takes and loads of bits of pancake hanging off the ceiling and the walls!

Everyone was a whole lot better than I would have been though Grin

PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline · 04/03/2014 22:48

I think Justine has been practising. Shock

PeteCampbellsRecedingHairline · 04/03/2014 22:49

Forgot to say, Sue to win!

I'm leaving now. Honest.

ParsingFancy · 05/03/2014 08:18

Justine's ninja toss for me. [easily impressed by flashiness]

AmyMumsnet · 05/03/2014 09:10

I didn't know there'd be extra points for flair - I would have brought my sparklers along otherwise.

I woz robbed.
