Your top Mumsnet memories/moments of the last ten years - post them here

[JustineMumsnet]

As some of you may know, this is our tenth year in existence and we thought it would be nice to put together a list of the top ten MN moments during those ten years - obviously not all of you are as old in the tooth as me but everyone's thoughts welcome.

So by way of a starter for ten here and distinctly off the top of my head (so don't shout if I've missed you out!) are some of our most memorable moments/mn events...

Feel free to violently disagree add your own - am sure, being so decrepit we've forgotten loads.

In no particular order...

click been up haf the night with a POORLY DD as you can tell

I'd forgotten that

who was it?

supersoaker etiquette at parties

I think it may have been malory towers but i'm not certain and I can't find the thread. Great isn't it def a classic

probably all been mentioned before - I haven't been here that long so don't know too many:

the penguin date thread - brilliant
Hobb's baby after taking half the pill
Last year's Valentine date up the OXO tower - hysterical
The amazing resilience of Humanbean, now posting as someone else
The piece in the Guardian c. 2004 which listed things one shouldn't do with a baby - I believe it was Monkeytrousers who wrote something like - it's ok to draw a moustache on your baby with indelible marker but pref not the day before the HV is due to visit - that was the reason I joined MN (oh and because there was a poster called Soupdragon too)

on a less good note - how easy it was to get sucked in by trolls like CVQ.

many of the popular threads are ones I'm only just discovering through the links here. What I would say to musmnet HQ is - think about what sort of image you want to project of mumsnet. Do you want to include mumsnet's funniest moments (and if so can you edit some of the threads please) or do you want to draw attention to why lots of people visit the site but aren't necessarily prolific posters? And what image do you want to present of women to your daughters - and to your sons? Sometimes there are very few posters giving the impression that something is widespread (liek Brazilians) when actually 90% of users of the site aren't saying anything.

When I recommend people to mumsnet or send them a link to a thread it may be because it's funny but more often it's because there is advice here that they will benefit from reading. Mumsnet has people who know more about special needs (in it's widest possible sense) than many professionals. For that its worth putting up with the nest of vipers.

How about the mner typo where she claimed she used semen in her daughters hair?

birthday table, anyone?

The thread about the MN'er who caught her husband wanking with sandpaper in the shed on new hedgehog cam had me roffling!

this one!

that one was geeeeeenius, TMB

My favourite moment was the office party photograph thread because Cod and MollyRoger were so funny creating captions for the photographs that I fell off my chair laughing. And then the photographer came on complaining about his 'band width' and everyone said 'oo-er Steve' and I don't remember ever feeling as helplessly giggly since I was about 13.

Other favourite memories and moments are pretty much to do with Cod actually. I vote her.

nb: my favourite moment on this thread so far has been Franny's voice of adult doom: 'it was funny then but it won't be funny now girls' [gurn]

100x where have you been

Ah yes, the office party photographs were also fabulous, I was crying with laughter!

100!
miss yooooou!

Oh hello, I been trying to do RL things. And failing. And I've done some lurking.

oh i missed that darned photograph thread

don't you agree though 100? if you weren't on it and you read it later, you feel kind of slightly sour grapes

oh god, so many!

mines a rather personal one though. I was in my hospital bed having just had a much longed for (ectopic) pregnancy removed and further complications meant major surgery. i was very, very ill. very drained and the world felt very black and lonely. the nurse came over to my bed with not one, not two but three bouquets from mners. it was lovely and meant so much to me.

i also loved Shiney's plumber-porn thread!

there are an awful lot of threads where you 'had to be there', I find.

Except the Oxo Tower. I never did get taken up there, you know....

Yes, I do agree Fra. Not so much sour grapes, just that they are mostly v. funny in the moment like you say, because it is usually how it develops - like the photograph thread was partly so funny because Cod got onto the photographers site and suddenly was having a field day, and it was all so absurd and unexpected and wicked.

I just read the sexual technics thread, and the thing that made me laugh the most was Boco saying 'Is that you Roy?' and then realizing she hadn't name-changed and everyone politely ignoring it. LOLOLOL

Oooh 100x and Franny, I read the HTT thread last night and was crying so hard that DP became quite concerned. Esp. at Boco's bodypopping post.

Ah yes, now Policy, that does still make me laugh. And it did at the time too - Franny v. funny with her quiet shoes on the parquet flooring.

I have fond memories of a F&Z thread where something had been delivered but she couldn't remember ordering it. It was a box of something mysterious and she was too scared to open it (I think it moved or something). Was it giant snails in the end?

LOL i forgot that one it was shells
i was cacking myself but also shivering with laughter at everyone's suggestions
oh where is it
oh here

Boco body popping was just beautiful
oh god we shouldn't be on this thread 100
it does no good to one's intentions to de-Mumsnet

That's true. Can't we go on another thread. I want to hear your news. Like a teensy little catch up kind of thread
