Morning all,

So today's the day , we have the Gin and Cake at the ready and five lovely MNetters are coming in for a visit.
CecyHall , ChaosTrulyReigns, PotatoPolly, FaceLikeAFriendlyApple and Solo will be joining us between 10am and 3pm today.
Sadly Nevergoogle, at 38 weeks, didn't want to risk a live birth thread Grin and Hansolo had an unbreakable appointment but we hope they will watch on with interest.

We will pop back to this thread throughout the day and update what they are up to and they may very well post too.

If you have any burning questions about MNHQ then please do post and we will try and answer them.

Zombie, this morning YoniMatopoeia and I were planning on getting on the tube to gatecrash today's Open Day Grin

But I'd be happy to join you and magimedi for a staged commando, pop-up infiltration at some point!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 20:59

Safety in numbers Wink

IamtheZombie · 26/03/2014 20:27

Fru could come with us too.

IamtheZombie · 26/03/2014 20:26

Zombie I knew we should have staged a commando,pop-up infiltration with magi!

We will, we will - only we will take 'em unawares!

NymodigFruOla · 26/03/2014 20:13

Chaos must have had to get a Big Train home in order to "feed her children" Grin

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 19:56

I hope Chaos isn't abandoned on a park bench somewhere.

Facelikeafriendlyapple · 26/03/2014 19:52

Front door to office building is smart glass affair (staffed by slightly scary security guard) Front door to MN office is a tasteful royal blue.

HTH.

Facelikeafriendlyapple · 26/03/2014 19:50

I'm very sorry but I don't know what Justine did to salvage her phone. She took off at a gallop down the street to escape from the rain. It's not all gin and cake at MNHQ y'know. There's inclement weather to deal with too.

It's t-roll btw. As in doll. settles matter once and for all

MimsyBorogroves · 26/03/2014 19:41

SO jealous!

Troll rhymed with doll when I was younger, but I always think of internet trolls as rhyming with doles - possibly because I can't fathom wrinkly people with crazy hair sitting under bridges.

Hull rhymes with dull. Unfortunately.

BelleOfTheBorstal · 26/03/2014 19:40

I think we need an observer, like the UN sends into delicate situations, to report on details such as Justine dropping her phone down the toilet. If it wasn't for the open day, none of us would ever have known.

NymodigFruOla · 26/03/2014 19:30

"Justine did drop her phone down the loo though."

What did Justine do? Did she follow the MN Rules of bunging it into a bowl of rice to dry out?

Also, Chaosy, what colour is their front door?!?!

Facelikeafriendlyapple · 26/03/2014 19:18

Didn't check for loo brushes at MNHQ (fail). But cam confirm absence of pebbly shit.

Facelikeafriendlyapple · 26/03/2014 19:16

Yes, all of us (sorry). RebeccaMNHQ even had just a coke.

Justine did drop her phone down the loo though.

IamtheZombie · 26/03/2014 19:15

Zombie will be deeply disappointed if Chaso was respectable and ladylike. Grin

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 19:05

Respectable?

Ladylike?

What, all of you?

meditrina · 26/03/2014 18:57

"(but only a respectable ladylike lunch time amount)"
how disappointing

" Everyone is lovely."
Excellent!

"And one of the tech guys is hot!"
Hurrah!

K8Middleton · 26/03/2014 18:57

Was Patrick wearing a Mumsnet scarf?!

Facelikeafriendlyapple · 26/03/2014 18:53

We got free books! That was very nice. And also free lunch. Also vairy naice. And some free booze (but only a respectable ladylike lunch time amount). Everyone is lovely.

And one of the tech guys is hot!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 18:30

But, but, they started on the gin at 10am.

Don't they have children to feed? Shock

NymodigFruOla · 26/03/2014 18:15

"Did you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement?"

Yeah, I bet they did!

The reason we haven't heard anything - apart from Cecy - is that they're probably all out getting a bit trollied now - The Ultimate & Secret MN Meet Up Wine Wine Grin

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 18:05

Humph!

Yes, pleased you all enjoyed yourselves but I think some of us were hoping for a bit more gossip feedback.

Did you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement?
