Mumsnet offline Thursday night

242 replies

Mumsnet will be offline tonight, Thursday, from just before 11pm or so. We're doing a few small updates and a bit of housekeeping. It will be off for a while unfortunately, so maybe an early night and check in over your cereal in the morning?

I'm not going to offer MSN updates this time - you'd not believe the story from last time I did that, even if I did tell you, which I won't. The good news is that if it goes badly there will be at least a dozen people to blame. If it goes well I'll be around to take all the credit.

Let's just hope we don't hit the headlines this time.

Looking at that (brilliant) link, I think it could be 'YetMoreTech' with a tad too much time on his(?) hands.....

you had me worried because there's nowt on telly on a Thursday night but then I saw what time you;re going to do it and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Loved the news article

RiaParkinson · 29/01/2009 10:28

the bbc web page is classic

NorbertDentressangle · 29/01/2009 10:27

PS -you are also very clever as I actually opened this thread to moan about the fact you've chosen a night when DP goes out to do your tech-stuff and got distracted and then ended up telling you you're a genius

...very crafty indeed.

NorbertDentressangle · 29/01/2009 10:25

YetMoreTech -you are a genius! I am PMSL. I started reading that thinking it was a serious article.

I loved the box that pops up when you click the "email to a friend" link

LittleMissNorty · 29/01/2009 10:16

Very good! You obviously have lots of time on your hands

mysterymoniker · 29/01/2009 10:11

what am I going to do if I can't sleep though?

mysterymoniker · 29/01/2009 10:11

'man jailed for urinating on woman' is REAL though

MrsSeanBeanHasGivenUpIroning · 29/01/2009 10:02

Do you really live in a shed Tech?

LackaDAISYcal · 29/01/2009 10:00

lol yetmotetech....won't the bbc sue for plagiarism/infringement of copyright though?

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 09:58

LackaDAISYcal · 29/01/2009 09:55

PMSL @ the email link to a friend

ThingOne · 29/01/2009 09:40

Tech, tech, the links don't work on mine. I want to read about Baby Einstein [wink}. Very funny, thank you.

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 09:38

and

"Mother sentenced to 3 years for giving child "biscuit"

plus

"Child sues parents for access to Baby Einstein video"

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 09:37

have you seen the side links to 'other news'

"Husband divorces wife citing "Too much MN" "

ROFL

YeahBut · 29/01/2009 09:35

V.funny, Tech.

FAQtothefuture · 29/01/2009 09:34

at those of you who didn't get the spoof until the ed balls comment

surely "fina gord" was a big enough giveaway

Cies · 29/01/2009 09:29

Rofl. You almost had me, until the Ed Balls comment. I did wonder that it must be a rather slow news day

NaturalBornThreadKiller · 29/01/2009 09:27

click on the 'email this to a friend' link at the very bottom of the article

FAQtothefuture · 29/01/2009 09:24

I've done some. DH has got DS3 now though (picked him up yesterday lunchtime and then my day fell to pieces so I didn't get much done) but I'm child free while the others are at school. So just having coffee and going to crack on with it, not moving the bulk of my stuff until Saturday and DS1 and 2 will be with DH from tomorrow afternoon as well so I'll have Friday night too.............

tootiredtothink · 29/01/2009 09:19

FAQ have you not packed yet??????

tootiredtothink · 29/01/2009 09:18

ROFFLE @ article.

Although it's a tad scary if you didn't know mumsnet, it might even send you off to netmums.

I think Tech is going to surprise us with some lovely new emoticons .
