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

520 replies

JustineMumsnet · 13/01/2010 16:49

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?

iirc lisalisa had her op deleted, so she probably wouldn't welcome a revival.

I'd vote for the collected works of MartianBishop -among others, the Janet & John Bible, the 'boring' thread, her Mumsnet song parodies, and of course the truly moving story of her wonderful marriage to an amazing man.

oh I like the Celebrity Wife Defence threads e.g. Jon Ronson's Elaine: "Are you all in mental hospitals?" and Mrs. Dowling who basically came on to defend Tim Dowling but ended up agreeing that her husband was a bit shit and then he came on and told her to do some ironing (or something like that)

cyteen · 13/01/2010 21:22

Oh Mamazon That bumsex thread is priceless, thank you so much for making me howl (with laughter, I hasten to add).

On a related note, I forgot to mention Franzo's ever-hardening clay cock. Particularly the update where she mentioned that she had hidden it behind an object with a massive hole in the middle, so that when the HV came over it looked like the cock was on proud display

Lulumama · 13/01/2010 21:23

Didn't Sophable lose a case somewhere in Scotland and a MN'r went to retrieve it?

CMOTdibbler · 13/01/2010 21:50

The ones that have kept me checking MN to find out what was happening was OJ and Steve/Misdee

Zombie plans is the one that DH always brings up

Best webchat was Chris from DoodleDoo, who really seemed to get into MN.

Shiney's penguin thread was fantastic

Katisha · 13/01/2010 21:50

As well as those mentioned I was agog when MN saw off Sheherazade...
It was suggested that she should be replaced by Ray Mears...Or Sportacus...
