to ask you all the stop MNing while I get something done please?

[CookieRookie]

I've been on MN all day and I really need to clean the house, hang out the washing, feed the anilmals and feed a little person and help her with homework before getting ready for work so if you could all stop for a couple of hours so I don't miss anything that'd be great.

I'll bring the laptop to work and should be there about 8pm at which time you can resume. Ok, so nbu, thanks, byyyeeee

Shite, header should say to stop MNing

Well FFS, I was sure none of you would mind. Guess iabu

I was going to come here and sympathise, Cookie - but if you are going to get in a strop, I am going to have to use The Look!!

I have spent a lot of time on here today, rather than cleaning and tidying the kitchen - I know which one is more fun.

oh no, not the look I can't believe nobody waited, how inconsiderate!

Tis alright now, instead of sitting at home doing nothing, I'm in work doing nothing so strop over.

Tea to the right, bickies to the left and I'm ready for active convos.

To prevent us all MNing, press alt-F4. :)

So you ask everyone to stop MNing and then get in a strop because no one answers?

what does alt +f4 do (normally)? The f shortuts are null and void on my lappy.

Oh, and YABVVVVVU! But can everyone stop MNing while I catch up on the soaps, please? Haven't watched them for two weeks!

Erm cookierookie, your name its like my name grrrrrr first time i've come across a name so similar

I think you have to break the internet to stop MNers

Bloody hell, all geared up to MN like crazy and my colleague for the night decides he wants to talk Now that's inconsiderate!

..'eh, hello annoying person, can't you see I'm trying to ignore you? That's why I'm still pretending to type and only umming when really necessary, ffs take a hint' Now if he was talking about something I was actually interested in, even marginally interested in, I could probably fake a bit more active listening but sheep?

Laid, I just bet that will shut down my puter in which case you are a big meanie

Cookielove I've been here since 2006 (or maybe 07, not sure) but I've only been using this name since November so I'll change it if you like, I don't mind. I'm not a regular poster, mostly lurk so no big deal.

Ooh might be namechanging, how exciting. Yes, yes I know but I'm in work with boring sheep man remember, a namechange is about exciting as it gets

Alt+f4 shuts your current window - so useful for getting out of MN quickly when the boss walks by....

Cookierookie.... Can i have your job? I would love a job where you can sit and mn. :)

ooh, very good. Actually I could have done with knowing that last night when sheep man kept pretending to get to the shelf behind me but was really just having a nosey.

Sure Molly, you can have my job but beware when the phone rings you can be sure within 20 minutes you're almost guaranteed to be catching sick, smelling piss, wiping snot, covered in blood, trying to convince yourself that the smell of shit doesn't bother you all that much, being spit at, prying a dramatic girlfriend off a drunken idiot, listening to the ramblings and more often threats of a drunken idiot, the list is endless. Not always at the same time but it has happened and they're just the easy ones

Ahhh i don't care, just first time i seen one sooo similar

Sounds very much like my old job. I would fit right in. :)
