I heard that he has to work for MNHQ because he got caught drunkenly removing the tops of parking meters...

Does he have Cool Hands?
Ice Cold. Especially on the ban button...
Anyway <changes subject> why isn't there a nice welcoming thread about NewKateMumsnet?
She's very lovely and may well be sulking because Luke's getting all the attention

I keep getting kind of suggestive texts from a guy called Luke who seems to think I'm called Amy (I'm not).
Hope he's not lukemumsnet, or I'll be complaining!
