Offline earlier this evening

Mumsnet was offline for several hours earlier this evening. This was due to a hardware fault on one of the several servers used to run the site. Thanks for the various emails of moral support, offers of virtual biscuits and the amusing conspiracy theories.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Where's BoF? She probably had sex and went on Twitter........

MmeLindt · 16/02/2010 11:39

JustAnother
I did the same on Twitter last night. Searched 'Mumsnet' and followed the wailing homeless MNetters. Don't know who half of them are though, cause some don't have their MN names on.

Am I followign you?

PleaseDeleteMeLetmeGo · 16/02/2010 11:09

Well I had sex. dh was made up!

JustAnotherManicMummy · 16/02/2010 10:59

I was not "up in arms"

I was weeping I tell you, weeping! I've been away and thought you'd all fucked off and left!

Apologies to anyone who was concerned at being stalked followed on Twitter by someone they've never heard of (me).

I was just randomly wandering about trying to collect as many MNers as I could find so come the apolcolypse I will be ready.

The DM can say what they like about how we choose to spend our time. Their readers choose to spend their time regurgitating the vitriol that oozes forth from the poxed mouths of ill-educated, lazy non-journalists, coasting through their lives on a sea of bile. If they like to think themselves better then good luck to them and I hope they don't choke on their own prejudices. Put that in your rag DM.

inconvenience ??

I had to talk to my HUSBAND

ShowOfHands · 16/02/2010 10:51

I don't understand second life. I went on there once, made my mini me look like a cheap hooker, wandered round an island of billboards and gave up.

nickelbabe · 16/02/2010 10:50

do you realise that this thread will appear in the DM saying that MNers do nothing else with their spare time and "all MNers were up in arms because they couldn't log onto their favourite website"

and you know that they will mention the babyboom idea as if they'd thought of it.

Sporcle owns my soul.

And yes, I can name all of the states of America in about 2 minutes, but could I remember the last of the 7 dwarves. Could I bugger.

In case you're interested, his name's Bastard and I no longer care.

That was cruel. It physically hurt.

Slartybartfast · 16/02/2010 10:44

it was quite surreal
i was searching facebook for mnetters, but didnt want to appear as a stalker, so left it at that.
went to bed quite early
i was lost, i tell you, lost

GypsyMoth · 16/02/2010 10:36

I can't believe what I had to resort to....... Had to go back for a look on 'second life'...never a good thing!

JustAnotherManicMummy · 16/02/2010 10:25

Thank god you're back! I had to join Twitter. T'was awful. I managed to out myself and everything.

Thankfully Lenin held my hand and steered me through. Phew!

OrmRenewed · 16/02/2010 10:07

I think my posts would have consisted of nothing but 'FFS!' and , so I refrained. They don't deserve people like me being horrible.

Pity about the medal ceremony, even more of a pity we didn't get to see the post-competition sauna.
I especially enjoyed the Nordic combined the other day too, that Frenchman who won was georgous.
I really should watch some of the women's events....

SleepingLion · 16/02/2010 09:31

Poledra - she lives in Wolverhampton

southeastastra · 16/02/2010 09:28

i watched the snowboarding too! wasn't it good, peed off we didn't see the medal ceremony though. looked fun

springlamb · 16/02/2010 09:27

Well DH got up and left for work really early this morning without even waking me.

I think he was trying to avoid another five hours of me wandering around "it's still broke....what is going on....I don't know what to do now..."

But I discovered Fit Men in the snowboarding competition in Vancouver, quite exciting really.

Poledra · 16/02/2010 09:25

You can only use the word 'mommy' if you are American - otherwise, it is cringeworthy.

southeastastra · 16/02/2010 09:15

i read all the jsp comments re mumsnet on twitter. was quite funny how many people were linking it. lots of people seem to need to get a life.

SleepingLion · 16/02/2010 09:13

Ooh, I just went over to netmums to have a look. It's all pink and lol and hun

Why does the word 'hun' make me want to rip my own arm off just so I have something to throw at the screen? I am seriously considering blocking a FB friend because she uses 'hun' and 'mommy' and I just can't bear it.

Am I a touch too judgey?

LittleMarshmallow · 16/02/2010 09:04

I joined netmums too was a scary experience one I don't want to repeat again.

MmeLindt · 16/02/2010 09:00

I would rather speak to DH than go on Netmums.

It is too fluffy for me.

Poledra · 16/02/2010 09:00

God, no, SPB, I wasn't that bored!!

StealthPolarBear · 16/02/2010 08:57

Buda - that's what I thought Look out for a load of birth announcements in November
