We'll be offline for a few minutes tonight

There will be a short period where Mumsnet is off the air tonight (Wednesday). Hopefully it won't be for more than a few minutes so there shouldn't be any need to, y'know, talk to your partners or anything.

TR, it is 4:03, to be precise. Which corresponds to 8:03 here. Which is 3 minutes past when I finish getting the kids down for bed and finally have time to sit in peace.

Tech is probably my most unfavorite person on the planet most days, I'm afraid.

CantSleepWontSleep · 27/08/2008 21:02

Well whilst it's down later YMT, can you speed it all up please, and stop me getting the blank screens that I keep getting since you someone took it down just now?

AMumInScotland · 27/08/2008 21:02

Gosh that was scary, and it was just an advanced tremor... EEK!

BroccoliSpears · 27/08/2008 21:02

It's all a bit glitchy...

differentID · 27/08/2008 21:02

that wasn't it? Tech, you are cruel to us poor mumsnetaholics.

cocolepew · 27/08/2008 20:59

It's still to come?

filthymindedvixen · 27/08/2008 20:58

Aye, mine too. I'm pished orf (to coin a phrase from jocular jock skipper)

You can just see him, can't you? Flexing his biceps casually. Watching his 6 pack rippling in the mirror.

Waiting.

Waiting.

Just toying with us.

Of course, we could just say 'no'

Couldn't we?

WilfSell · 27/08/2008 20:58

That WASN'T it?!

I had to go and spend money on iTunes to keep myself busy and everything.

PestoMonster · 27/08/2008 20:58

Filfy, my DH is avidly watching the fishing programme too. Wierd, he finds it gripping

TrinityRhino, I am a reg. I keep changing my screen name a little at a time, because I have verbal diarrhoea and I can't stop telling my life story on MN.

That (the downtime you just experienced) wasn't it; that was something else and was unplanned.

I said after 11 and after 11 it will be. Unless I change my mind. But I won't. Probably.

dooneygirl · 27/08/2008 20:48

It could be worse. You could live in America where it is pretty much down that long or more every night around this time in my time zone.

DonDons · 27/08/2008 20:48

they were dark and desperate minutes

FlightAttendent · 27/08/2008 20:48

Ooh - I read the Libby Purves transcript
