To wonder what goes on behind the scenes at MNHQ?

[AgentZigzag]

When MN was just down for an upgrade just now, I couldn't help but wonder what swan like furious paddling was going on behind the scenes.

Were they trying to fend off a government hacking session designed to use covert mind control techniques over the mass of famously influential posters on MN?

Had one of the blue posting HQ staff had one too many with their cous cous with a baby leaf salad and given into the big red 'Do Not Press' button?

Or had techy just knocked their redbull down the back of the server?

Answers on a postcard or back of a sealed down envelope, and don't forget to include your name, age and full medical history or you won't be in with a chance to win one of these spectacular prizes...

I reckon they forgot to feed darrensmumsnet and he stopped running round that hamster wheel of his... Or Justine ran out of 50p's for the metre..

I reckon justine smashed the server up in temper, then had to run to the nearest tesco to purchase a new one

i was disappointed when I saw the office on the tv the other week,
I always imagined them sitting round a table in a homely kitchen, with hordes of children running/crawling around

2shoes - that's how it was in the olden days!

Oh and did i mention my phones medical history - just see above post i mention my phones medical history - just see above post

And my medical history, i forgot how to do a

I think it was hacked and shut down by a horny Husband wanting to give his Wife a good shagging without bending her over the computer desk, as she furiously refreshed the page to read the outcome of the 'stop shitting in my bog' thread.

I think it largely depends on the day. Probably all on Usual's drunk threads at the weekend. I think there is a special AIBU Dept, thinking up ideas to start bunfights and then laughing when they come on to tell us off.

omg I didn't realise my image was real.....

@ Tiredmummo, I'm seeing double so I must be tired too!

Do i have to tell you all this again?

They run up to the top of the building, pop their helmets on, jump into several bob-sleighs and hurtle down the side Mn towers. Once at the bottom they take off their helmets and drag the sleighs back up to the top for next time....

I reckon MNHQ is actually a bloke called Colin who works from his bedroom. He tripped over the power cable and pulled the plug out.

Glug quicker hunni, the night is still young

Takes exactly five minutes...

Maybe mumsnet moderators and netmums moderators are havin a punch up

I bet mumsnet wins it everytime Maybe mumsnet moderators and netmums moderators are havin a punch up

Tiredmum, you'll have the pick from an amazing choice of ex-bullseye prizes, including an ultimate deluxe knitting machine, super deluxe combined clock and teas maid, and a speedboat.

I know that man salmo, his second name's <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=colin+hunt&hl=en&sa=X&biw=1146&bih=718&tbm=isch&prmd=ivnso&tbnid=YbRroSajvcGQdM:&imgrefurl=caskstrength.blogspot.com/2011/07/french-kiss.html&docid=cozp9aZJojGeAM&w=424&h=427&ei=HSFQTvDsKsiy8QOp8bmeBw&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=882&vpy=105&dur=575&hovh=225&hovw=224&tx=139&ty=135&page=1&tbnh=120&tbnw=119&start=0&ndsp=25&ved=1t:429,r:5,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Hunt isn't it?

I always assume someone unplugged the server to plug in the kettle. I like imaging them standing around it willing it to boil so they can have a cuppa and get the site back up as soon as possible.

When it takes more than 5 minutes is when the whole staff is in so they have to boil an entire kettle full or even two.

::nods::

::taps nose::

The knitting machine, no wait the speedboat, the choices are killing me agghhh ing machine, no wait the speedboat, the choices are killing me agghhh

AGHHHHH don't call me hunni

If it's longer than a couple of minutes its a netmums invasion with MNHQ raining fruitshoots and bile upon them as they try to climb the HQ walls armed with pink tickers. Justine at the helm hair flapping in the wind screaming "fuck off!" on account she can 'cos she is mumsnet, and netmums can only say floofybum back.

ROAR at floofybum insult hurling

That's him AgentZ -

Ok imnotyourfucking it is then
