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...

Christening of SWMNBN and MP's apology for rockets gag
Mile 4 Maude
First live birth
Christmas appeals generally
Biscuitgate
bottom butter
tim dowling and wife - hammering it out on MN
David Cameron's massive panniers
AIBU generally
Pirate sex
Misdee and Peter and the heart transplant
Is that UCM?

Definitely Lisalisa's knickers, Pirate sex and the Penguin thread - and Zombie plans.

More seriously, Misdee, and more sadly, OJ and others.

Mile4Maude

The one where MNetters were sending good vibes to the SIL in Australia (I think) who was finally pregnant, not sure what it was called.

It was lovely.

cornsilkscatholichamster · 13/01/2010 17:27

The Tim Dowling one. Created a new catch phrase.

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 13/01/2010 17:27

bobble plate, oh yes, and pretty much anything franny's ds has done but particularly the cock and balls sculpture.

AitchTwoOhOneOh · 13/01/2010 17:28

oh that was absolutely gorgeous, that thread, mmelindt.

The funniest threads for me have been:

  • Least professional moments in my illustrious career

  • Shiney's humiliation thread

  • Switching gas suppliers thread

  • Odes to the dead guineapig

And also memorable, as Saltire says where MN joins forces - Trinity, OJ, MB, Misdee

MmeLindt · 13/01/2010 17:31

Recently I really enjoyed the baking with Dan Lepard. That was fun.

Generally, the webchats have been very good.

Milliways · 13/01/2010 17:32

The Mumsnet Carols as well as the Rhapsody (I like MartianBishops one!)

The UCM thread

Nativity play 2006

The Knicker Elastic for Christmas, and the Tablecloth Apron, oh - and the cat and the Football

Definately Peter & Misdee, the Mile for Maude and Judge Flounce as well.

Romanarama · 13/01/2010 17:32

Justine, please link to all that you suggested

Hamster stew
Misdee & Peter
Various trolls - the foxy one trying to escape from abusive husband in the Far East stands out (may have got suckered in on that one
Xmas meet-ups
MartianBishop and OJ
QueenofHearts shagging her boss and subsequent romance

MmeLindt · 13/01/2010 17:35

oh, just thought of a good one.

The one where teddy went missing at the airport and a MNetter's DH who worked at the airport found it and had it sent to Scotland.

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes, soppy git that I am, remembering these threads. It is all your fault, Justine.

DarrellRivers · 13/01/2010 17:35

The woman who gave birth and somehow had hysterics when she was having her episiotomy stitched up and she slid forwards onto the obs dr and her husband said 'FGS, minimoo, you're a mother now' or something like that
I can't remember her name
Someone posted it from another site

CremeDeMenthe · 13/01/2010 17:36

MN WI and the baking contests

I think that one was posted on the funniest moments during childbirth, Darrrel.

CremeDeMenthe · 13/01/2010 17:37

All the threads 'in the style of' or 'if you were posting...' eg in the 18th Century, as a Borrower etc.

MistleSnail · 13/01/2010 17:39

Everyone swooning at someone's DH smoking eels in the garden - very manly!!

The phone line that sounded as if it was wnaking....

TheInvisibleManDidIt · 13/01/2010 17:41

The bg one- that had me in hysterics.

mrsjuan · 13/01/2010 17:43

I liked the one with the tissues that looked like they had pictures of fannies all over them

BecauseImWorthIt · 13/01/2010 17:43

Already mentioned, but the thread about things that you have done at work was one of the few that really had me laughing out loud.

And taking horses to the olympics was really special. I can't believe that didn't make it to classics!

The whole OAA/(Beta) debacle must go down in MN history too, surely?!

sowhatitsonlysnow · 13/01/2010 17:44
