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.

HerrenaHarridan · 26/03/2014 15:43

Who says Trull? Confused

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 15:32

That's odd Zombie it sounds like they're defining "trawl"!

NymodigFruOla · 26/03/2014 15:30

If you've got speakers, troll has two pronunciations www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=troll&submit=Submit

Although I tend to say troll as in doll, maybe I should pronounce it the Scandi way?!

I've just realised that whatever we're going to ask the MN guests about their visit, they're simply going to say TSSDNCOP, aren't they? And then they'll Grin

mistlethrush · 26/03/2014 15:04

Surely Hull like Dull Mull Lull ?

I suppose you might get Naice Troles with bowls in the home counties - but not the part I came from originally!

mistlethrush · 26/03/2014 15:01

Definitely o as in Doll. Not Trull or Trole or Trawl.

IamtheZombie · 26/03/2014 15:00

Zombie pronounces DOLL and HULL slightly differently, KateS.

But NOT as differently as TROLL and DOLL!!

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 14:58

doll is "o" as in off

Hull is "u" as in up

LoveBeingCantThinkOfAName · 26/03/2014 14:57

Hmm wonder if they got to see the list

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 14:55

KateSMumsnet · 26/03/2014 14:54

Don't you pronounce doll and hull the same though Confused

IamtheZombie · 26/03/2014 14:53

How do you pronounce TRAWL?

BeverleyMoss · 26/03/2014 14:46

Zombie's not being daft!! < sticks tongue out at Sparkling >

She's always pronounced it that way.

Of course, she is American...

TheProsAndConsOfHitchhiking · 26/03/2014 14:41

Doll.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 26/03/2014 14:39

Doll.

Trull? No.

Sparklingbrook · 26/03/2014 14:37

IamtheZombie · 26/03/2014 14:32

ExitPursuedByABear · 26/03/2014 14:28

Sparklingbrook · 26/03/2014 14:28

Troll rhymes with Doll IMO. I thought some people thought it rhymed with 'roll' though.
