MNHQ Open day live thread

Second photo from the top. The one after the Gin pic! most important!!

But you pronounce Troll as in doll not dole.

Ooh thanks Solo.

He's been posted above. Hold on, I'll see what time etc and direct you.

Sparkling isn't that dole queue? same way you pronounce troll

I need to see a picture of Patrick to decide on the hotness.

Patrick is there! he's the one that doesn't actually have any facial hair. He does look vair young though lucky chap and vair, vair HOT!! can imagine that he's extremely embarrassed now too.

Justine, it is uncooked rice isn't it? because cooked rice will definitely not work!

Can also confirm that judging by the other Mumsnetter attendees plus all the Mn staff; everybody is bloody gorgeous!

KateS is my chocolate brownie in the post?! I would've eaten one there and then, but I just knew that wearing braces as I do, there would've been some rather odd looks directed toward me and all the gloop stuck around my teeth!

Goody bag is fab too! thank you Mn. My mug says Naice Coffee

As in 'joining the doll queue'.

Doll and dole sound exactly the same

Difficult to tell Fru. Don't like moustaches.

MNHQ guys - in November 2012 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/have_you_seen_pictures/1613200-Them-taches-are-a-growing-Come-gasp-at-the-MNHQ-Men-and-their-Movember-face-furniture. So, which is the 'Hot Tech' guy?!

But I have seen 'cream egg brownies' why didnt I know about these?

I want to know more about hot tech guy.

It was a great and hectic day! The other MNers were fab.

I couldn't believe how many MNers there were - banks and banks of them. One of them smelled divine, but Rebecca and Kate weren't sure whi she was! There's people joining all the time.

I've put a few faces to names which is very useful. There is a happy buzz in the office and I'm not entirely convinced it's all gin related.

Didn't notice the loo brushes, sorry.

Glad you all had a lovely time!

I think that norty Zomb was talking about coke and cock

Solo sweetheart, thank you, hope you got home safely.

But someone.please, we I need details.

What was the conversation about?

It's trole like pole. Troll.

Are we back to discussing the correct pronunciation of an "o" in any given word?

Zombie may have met Rebecca at a meet up and may have photographic evidence.

Ahem. Peace & love.

The biggest bit of goss I can give is that Rebecca and I were perving over the salad guy and I accidentally said something in reply (to something naughty that Rebecca said) along the lines of "has he got a coke..." it was coke not cock never said cock on Mn before!!! baaaaaaad Solo!!!

C&P'd from t'other thread. I'm no good with the whole mobile Mumsnetting thing, hence the lack of on the spot reporting!

Was a really good day! MNHQ is full of gorgeous and stylish people (no, really!) and everyone was very welcoming! There were plenty of yummy home baked cakes... chocolate cakes!! I didn't try them but secretly hope that Kate will post some out!!
There was a large bottle of gin on the desk next to one of the ahem, staff members .

The mostly open plan office is very busy and it's amazing the amount of work that is going on.
Patrick was very informative and very stylish handsome too!

Lunch with Justine, Rebecca and Rachel (I hope I've remembered your name right!) was fab, with lots of conversation, but I was cursing my deafness a bit and I apologise if I answered a question wrong! typical thing for me to smile and nod inappropriately , but I did hear most of the conversation ~ honest!

It was lovely to meet the other 3 Mumsnetters and there was a funny moment when two of us seemed to recognise one another, but neither of us knew how! I still don't!

Anyway, thank you MNHQ for allowing us into your world of work, I for one had a lovely time!

Ps. Rebecca, I think we must have missed one another as I popped to the ladies before leaving. It took me 2 1/2 hours to do a 35 minute (according to the SatNav) journey . Ah well! totally worth it!
