SWSNBN. What happened in the end?

[princessmel]

Is it resolved now or still ongoing??

I don't remember hearing the outcome.

[scatterbrain]

Don't know - there is some yahoo group - but they wouldn't let me join as I wasn't in their clique - so some people know and others aren't allowed to

[Budababe]

Still ongoing. I asked a few days ago.

[princessmel]

Really scatterbrain? How childish. Maybe MN towers will tell us when something happens. Thanks budababe.

[FiveFingeredFiend]

you don't need them scatterB now you have me

[earlgrey]

I was dying to know, too .....

[scatterbrain]

I cat'ed you FFF - did you get it ??

[FiveFingeredFiend]

No

maybe it takes sometimes...bank hol weekend etc?

[scatterbrain]

It was ages ago - three days maybe !

[FiveFingeredFiend]

will check again.

as a name changer maybe thats the problem, although i would have thought they would have informed you.

[FiveFingeredFiend]

nope.

[JARM]

nothing mentioned on the yahoo group anyway.

I know nothing more than the last update

[AitchTwoOh]

no one knows at all yet. the yahoo group not accepting everyon is less likely to be a clique thing and more a 'check you're not a journo' thing. did you namechange or join after the big kerfuffle? the 'owner' of the group would be subject, presumably, to the same treatment from swmnbn if things said there were publicised so i think they're sensible to be cautious.

[FiveFingeredFiend]

scatterbrain try

five fingered fiend at hotmail dot co dot uk

[LilRedWG]

So, does anyone actually know what happened with SWMNBN?

[tigermoth]

have no idea, don't belong to said yahoo group, assume nothing has changed much since justine last updated us.

[scatterbrain]

When I tried to join the group I did email the owner saying it was me - scatterbrain who actually was here at THE BEGINNING - and had no reply to my email and no permission to join. IMO it is a cliqey thing - same person ignored my posts about it on a thread ! Not that I care - I just wanted to knoe what was happeneing - not join the clique !

[AitchTwoOh]

pmsl, it's not a cliquey thing. much more likely to be human error.
i don't recognise half the names of the people on the yahoo group, there are loads of them. if it's a clique it's a sodding enormous one...

[FiveFingeredFiend]

They make you dress in leather and whip an effigy of Aloha. Meanwhile you must chant " M.P. rocket, lebanon don't knock it. M.P. rocket, Lebanon don't knock it.


Then you must give up your oldest child to the holy lentil weavers, who take them and teach them how to grow herbs and wear natual fibres grown only from the fur of vegan fed animals.

[tigermoth]

ah, scatterbrain, that doesn't sound good

[AitchTwoOh]

yeah, well there is that, fff.

[scatterbrain]

No - I was fed up tbh !

[FiveFingeredFiend]

[tigermoth]

how do people have the time to do the yahoo group thing and mumsnet!

(Perhaps they are the ones who never iron and have dishwashers and broadband......)

[AitchTwoOh]

pmsl again... the yahoo group maybe gets one posting on it a week, it's not a hotbed of intrigue and gossip.
it was, at the time, just a place for people to talk about campaign-y type things without loads of journalists looking, it was a place where people could talk about the swmnbn doc on five and now it's a place where people occasionally ask 'does anyone know what's happening with MN and SWMNBN?' to which the answer is, no, nothing snce justine updated MN...

[AitchTwoOh]

although idon't know how people manage to MN and MSN, tiger...
