have you seen the list on 'campaign no1' thread? Thats who's been contacted, so keep eyes peeled!

Arrgggghh! I missed the news on Channel 4.

Checked out nobody's lawyers website (which was down yesterday, oddly enough). They boast about how despite being a local firm for local people, they can compete with top London firms (protesting too much - obvious insecurity there) and claim that they offer a great libel service to newspapers and publications. Erm, if they specialise in defending libel, what are they doing advising complainants? Because so far it doesn't look as if they've scored a major success...

VeniVidiVickiQV · 08/08/2006 12:32

Well done everyone!!!

"'Nobodys' lawyers were not able for comment yesterday. But sources suggested that by posting the letter on the website, Mumsnet had breached copyright and legal confidentiality." Gulf Times...

wheelsonthebus · 08/08/2006 11:02

marina - you are right, but my secretary has just brought me a coffee ah! now that is a service i don't get at home.

Caligula · 08/08/2006 11:02

I wonder if anyone's noticed that websites which charge money and offer only one way of doing things, have an obvious interest in ensuring that rival websites which are free to access and offer a plethora of different methods and expertise, aren't allowed to operate?

Just an observation.

zippitippitoes · 08/08/2006 11:00

Radio 5 now on mn case

When I was little I was always sent to get the Sunday papers, and also used to get them for a neighbour. His usual read was The Sunday Mirror, but it was sold out, as were all the other tabloids, so I got him The Sunday Telegraph. He complained to my Mum that it took him 2 weeks to read it .

Shall we nickname her Queen Flounce? This has to be the biggest flounce ever.

Marina · 08/08/2006 10:59

A fair number of us are stung by the boredom of having to remain civil to/interested in clients and colleagues too instead of being at home digging playdoh out of the carpet, sigh

LadyTophamHatt · 08/08/2006 10:57

I bought the daily mail and The Times today.

I've never bought The Times...and felt all clever and intelligent putting it in my shopping basket.

wheelsonthebus · 08/08/2006 10:50

'stung by the intense boredom of raising young children at home' ....i have definitely been there

hunkermunker · 08/08/2006 10:42
