What was your favourite MN thread of all time?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

I have just searched for it and can't bloody find it.

It was about 3 years ago, was started by cod and was something like 'what snazzy recipes did your mother cook in the 70s' or something.

It was hysterical.

I also loved the thread where we were invaded by the pram huns, Crap Tips (in classics but sadly useless as the links don't work), Shopping lists, "is that you UCM" and "Linda is a hospital administrator"

Also really loved the lefties threads during the election last year.

And my own "fuck I might be pregnant" saga

The Pouffe of Poo gets my vote.

[BerryLellow]

The kitchen utensil fetish one

Cubes of poo

[Salmotrutta]

There was a good one months ago about a woman who had been given a fur coat years ago then her friend wanted it back - I don't even know what happened in the end but it ran and ran. It all got very confusing and funny.

When it was the MN anniversary last year MNHQ started a thread saying 'link your fave threads here', I mentioned the snazzy recipes one and someone managed to unearth it.

I love that thread.

I also liked 'things that you are smug about' which descended into a bizarre row at the end.

Oh and there was that strange time where something was kicking off, and then someone ended up in a fight with a bunch of posters that had their own little group, with an imaginary stripper in the background. Twas odd...

Loved the reasonably recent one where a mum was caring for children on a temporary measure and she needed milk for the little baby, but the older ones were sleeping. There was almost a mass call out for help, it was all rather wonderful

[ReshapeWhileDamp]

My current favourite of all time (or since I joined in 2007, anyway ) is the Pearl Fucking Barley thread. But I have a fondness for Shopping Lists in Torleys and Cube of Poo too.

Pram Huns -"errr that's my dog hun"


Moments of hysterical laughter

My baby headband thread.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Yes, am sure it was 2007 or 2008, as I was mumsnetting at work at lunchtime and I remember my colleague asking what I was laughing at . I left that job in Winter 2008 so must have been before then.

[BerryLellow]

The booble plate

[bibbitybobbityhat]

Oh shame that 70s recipes thread has gone! It was so snazzy. Would have been great as a source of ideas for a retro dinner party.

Ellaroos river of sweetcorn thread is without doubt the funniest thing I have ever read on Mumsnet.

Closely followed by SmallShips dh dressed as an elf and having a toileting accident on his stag night.

On a more serious note, I lurked on a very long-running thread in which a Mnetter with a serious drink problem (ie. she was an out and out alcoholic) got sober. Three years later and she has namechanged and contributed to someone else's problem drinking thread, and she is still recovering. It was amazing - she really was desperate at the start. I am sure Mumsnet helped cure her.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

Oh there are loads of faves now I think of them

They shiney threads of which I was a member for a short while.

Any ghost story thread which Expatinscotland is on.

That WONDERFUL thread (which made me cry) about a woman who fostered a baby born addicted to heroin, looking after the poor little mite and then handing him over to his new adoptive parents 16 months later.

A daft as a brush thread about food in a cinema, where we all decided that popcorn and sweets were crap foods anyway, and they should serve mashed potato (bag o'mash) instead (you had to be there).

The thread about Bariatric chairs.

[MooMooFarm]

I love all the 'wanton sex with someone inappropriate' ones. Maybe I'm on the wrong website

[GetOrfMoiLand]

The title of Pearl Fucking Barley made me laugh. There was a similar thread title a couple of weeks back - Ham Fucking Hock - which made me laugh as well.

[Geocentric]

Another one for the Booble Plate. Was my first taste of reading the Classics section and I was in tears.

Shiney's smug thread, too.

[GibberingGinger]

There was one about a pomander which was just hilarious, think it was in AIBU. Must go search for it.....

[franke]

The outing of Judge Flounce was v exciting - the first mumsnet serious troll.

[BrigitBigKnickers]

I loved the penguin thread

[comewhinewithme]

LittleLapin winding someone up about a mango, was very funny.

Pixie- Pramhuns was like a visit from Jeremy Kyle.

[MarioandLuigi]

I loved the thread where a poster came on to slate the hotel she has stayed in, then the owner came on to retaliate - it wasnt laugh out loud funny but it had me hooked.

[GypsyMoth]

red rug thread

and wasnt there one where a poster was walking down the street and saw a man turn into a werewolf??
