We ask because obviously we know the harsh reality but we're looking to reveal all put a pic on our Twitter page. So, we'd love to hear your ideas on what you want to see at Mumsnet Towers.
The Shed?
Justine's untidy desk corner office?
Our Studio60 style countdown clock to the full moon?
MNHQ's feral children creche?
TIA as ever

Those of you who think MNHQ is all soft cushions, bunting and cupcakes, have clearly never received a ticking off explaining why your post has been deleted. I used to love them all at Mumsnet Towers. But since the ticking orf, I've embraced my inner Tory rebel. Bring on the spanking next ticking off MNHQ.

You think they have a harsh 'minimal clutter' desk policy? To maintain the clean lines of their modernist office.

Anyway, who needs desk gonks when they have us lot.

Swedes · 06/06/2009 12:31

I don't think Mumsnet Towers would have bunting or cupcakes. Nor would they have desk gonks.

And the MNTowers Beauty and Style Corner:
We need to see your Star dressing rooms, complete with boden wardrobe and glam make up artists, for when you have to get "all proper and look nice" for those interviews with guests.

Pic of the "The troll corner"
where you tell the trolls off
and the bucket you put all the troll posts in
the blackboard where they write hundred times "I shall not be norty and troll like" and the little stool that they stand on to reach the board.

I've lost the plot!

it looks like this

BonsoirAnna · 06/06/2009 10:18

I have no illusions. This is because in 2001 I visited Fruit Towers (HQ of Innocent Drinks, when it was still quite a small company) which turned out to be a sort of bunker... I had been visioning medieval turrets in a Kentish orchard...

The hash reality is that it is probably an open plan office in a converted Victorian building, like this MumsnetTowers and if it was, perhaps it just needs some additions on top, Disney Castle style, it can't be mistaken for a dull office block.

PictureThis · 05/06/2009 22:55

I too see you ensconced in a malory towersesque type building.

Ronaldinhio · 05/06/2009 22:52

If I have another daughter I may call her Jaunty Bunting Ronaldinhio

you are right it has a nice ring to it, especially if she has friends called Flick and Bunny

Dearthworm · 05/06/2009 22:50

Jaunty Bunting sounds like the name of a Malory Towers puupil.

Ronaldinhio · 05/06/2009 22:49

I don't know but it has jaunty bunting

PaulaYatesBiggestFan · 05/06/2009 22:46

a tiny tiny white garrett

Dearthworm · 05/06/2009 22:41

I think this is the real MNHQ, isn't it?

BecauseImWorthIt · 05/06/2009 22:32

Actually - quick question - what do you mean about a Twitter page?

LupusinaLlamasuit · 05/06/2009 22:30

and they live and work together in a David Lynch film

LupusinaLlamasuit · 05/06/2009 22:28

oh come on, this is them

GodzillasBumcheek · 05/06/2009 22:08

The Neverending Story Ivory Tower, all shiny and, er, tall.

I believe someone (Custy if not others) has already done a link but here's mine.

The charming exterior

The cosy interior

Jux · 05/06/2009 20:56

I see it like this but it is a Tardis and is much bigger on the inside. This is a disguise so that Tech feels like he's just going into his shed at the bottom of the garden.

TheBreastmilksOnMe · 05/06/2009 20:08

In a top secret location like one of those towers you get in a fairytale story that Rapunzel hangs her hair out of and inside it's really swish and high tech and fun with slides instead of staircases and a huge staff room filled with balls (the plastic kind) and everyone 'working' on their computers in a big open plan office. Everyone is cool and knowledgeable about all things 'parenty' and clad in the very latest Boden attire with crocs, naturally.

Goober · 05/06/2009 19:49

Like theees?

onebatmother · 05/06/2009 19:47
