It's just not long enough to pop to the shops, make a cuppa, lose some keys , nip to the loo.

So WTF are they doing when they're "offline for just a moment"?

Answers on a post-card please.

I would say it is server updates. Very big site with a lot of busy traffic.

Ha ha, I was just wondering about this! Grin

Star Jumps

I imagine that Justine is taking a call from Dave Cameron. She just says 'No'.

When it last went off, I received the round-up.

bupcakesandcunting · 07/01/2011 12:46

Where do you find the round-up?

FlorenceAndTheMachine · 07/01/2011 12:48

Here

werewolf · 07/01/2011 12:48

Under 'News' in the top blue bar. You have to subscribe. Took me a while to find, just now. Grin

Getting the newest batch of cookies out of the oven.

werewolf · 07/01/2011 12:49

Doh!

Sidge · 07/01/2011 12:50

It's happening more and more often lately.

Maybe they need to replace the flux capacitor or summat?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 07/01/2011 12:50

Chickens - I imagine DC is phoning to see if he can come round for some more biscuits.

And Justine just heaves a massive sigh.

Nah, we're usually just looking for Carrie's keys

DaisySteiner · 07/01/2011 12:58

Scratching round for 50p to put in the meter I reckon Grin

RebeccaMumsnet · 07/01/2011 12:58

All of the above (or summat?)

Will chase tech with regards to the flux capacitor Grin and I am sure they can give you a much better response than I can ?

Udderly · 07/01/2011 13:05

I was feeding my LO at maybe 3.30am this morning and it went down! They really put in the hours, eh?

But I think the starjumps theory is the best.

Thankyou Smile. New Years Resolutions and all that

storminabuttercup · 07/01/2011 13:27

maybe they bounce the servers at 3.30, was down for me too!

i reckon its star jumps too though

ShowOfHands · 07/01/2011 13:29

I think they're creosoting tech's shed. Or hemming some curtains for him.

I know when they're changing things as the site loses some of its functionality. It's doing it atm so I expect some dramatic change later. Tickers maybe.

JamieLeeCurtis · 07/01/2011 13:29

Nooooo!

HelenMumsnet · 07/01/2011 13:31

lol at hemming Tech's curtains

JamieLeeCurtis · 07/01/2011 13:32
