Mumsnet Towers - what do you imagine it to look like?

I see Justine in the kitchen juggling a home prepared bolgenese, a child and her laptop which sits on the breakfast bar.....

The other MNHQ bods (sorry MNHQ bods) are all sat around the corner sofa thing which is deep and squidy (with a very soft and fluffy ivory carpet) drinking tea and chatting about current MN hot topics ignoring the steam coming out of Justine's ears.

Tech is in his shed (which is falling into disrepair) at the bottom of the garden.

NationalFlight - absolutely brilliant!

Swedes -

Naw this is you lot!!!

Here you are

This more like it?

Sorry Justine You did ask...

Or this

Not sure which one of you is Rapunzel but that is Tech climbing up on his daily commute to the office.

I definitely think it has to be Gothic though with lots of the obligatory swirly mist.

MNHQ in disguise

Me too.Creepy tall skinny scooby doo castle with a big fire.

This is how I see MN Towers.

Or one of those creepy castles from Scooby Doo.

Don't ask me why - perhaps I have ishoos with authority.

And this ensures that the children never interfer with the drinking gin important work that needs to be done.

Slubber, LOLOL at little rising table

I'm actually a bit scared now I've posted all that. I wasn't even aware I had all that going on till they asked.

Maybe it was the vulva of Sauron and we just all read it wrong

Really sorry, but since you asked, my mental image has just revealed itself as somewhat bizarre. Your office is in a building not unlike the tower of London, Gerry is sitting in it alone on the ground floor with a knackered old CRT in front of her, half a can of Fosters on her left and her eyes half shut (radio 2 in the background)

She has curly auburn hair, a rather slouchy pink cardigan and a Very Nice Handbag. She is rather attractive, despite being almost asleep.

It is 2am, someone has just asked her to delete seventy three messages in random threads.

She is ringing Justine but Justine is telling her to piss off as she is getting some.

Olivia is in Acapulco for the weekend and doesn't care.

Helen and Carrie are simultaneously having a heart to heart regarding Gerry's handbag addiction and a Dyson rep who fancies Justine (despite Dysons getting regularly trashed on here) in a downtown cafe in Harlesden.

Have I got anything right yet?

I think you've got a massive whiteboard, tracking everyone's name changes. It's manned on a rota basis, and names are moved around, a bit like they did during the war with model ships/planes.

mumsnet towers

lenin - i suppose a vulva would be apt and nothing that can't actually be done with a little photoshop ( although - who volunteers for the picture?)its actually the eye of sauron - its a LOTR thing

huge tower - big eye watching over the land

I imagine the office is in a converted victorian school, one room, painted white, high windows and cheap blue industrial carpet circa 1985. Sorry about the carpet bit.

It's like mission control at Houston. There is a giant screen with active convos scrolling away. Each mnhq minion is seated on a gigantic lazy-boy lounger and has a plethora of smaller screens attached to their chair for their personal flicking through of threads.

Underneath the giant screen is a scrolling ticker with the names of all the posters on line. Posters who post more than 500 posts per month are in yellow. Everyone else is blue. If you are a minion on duty and you get more than 50 yellow posters on line simultaneously then a small door opens in the barker lounger and a Ferrero Rocher comes out on a little rising table.

All the minions have to wear blue scrubs with a white tabard over the top. Once a day Justine or Carrie come in (they wear normal clothes) and go through numbers of newbies, flouncers and kick offs (like a doctors round). If there are more flouncers than newbies on a minions watch then your barker lounger is removed for one day and you have to sit on a primary school chair with your arse hanging over the sides.

There is a plastic spider plant in the corner.

Abetadad -

wmmc - I know about teeth whitening, but I hadn't realised eyebrow whitening was quite so popular.

Trillian - thanks. I didn't know it could mean definition 1 which I was alluding to of course .

I always imagine MN Towers in RL looks a lot like a minicab office under the railway arches near where I live.

scottishmummy - that's the one. Or it would be if it showed it. Fruitshootsandheaves - I do too!
