I have asked mnhq to take the site down once when i had work to do. Sorry op no solution. Maybe turn your wifi off?

iklboo · 17/03/2016 16:59

How do you spread 'Open Mumsnet. Offer wine to members. Watch wine being drunk. Watch ensuing bunfights & hilarity' over 30,000 words?

A fascinating article on bacterial genetics
Does this help? It's pretty dull.

I know its a bloody nightmare. I keep waiting for the time I get bored with MN, but it doesn't seem to be happening, it's still wasting huge swathes of my time.

I'm going to sabotage you by posting this very interesting abstract on how to kill Salmonella when it's in peanut butter.

Lweji · 17/03/2016 17:14

Even more interesting how you can use a microwave and chocolate to measure the speed of light.

YANBU. I am supposed to be cooking a roast but am on here drinking Prosecco. I am keeping half an eye nose out for the smell of burning.

I like to sing "obnovious" in my head to the tune of the Genovia national anthem from The Princess Diaries film.

I'm rather afraid I couldn't stop being interesting if my life depended on it.

RockUnit · 19/03/2016 17:40

Don't read this, it's really boring!

That actually could be quite absorbing. My friend did a dissertation on marketing and got me to proof read it for her, years ago so I'm afraid I've forgotten anything that might be useful, but I did find it interesting at the time. The thing is that you aren't because you've got to write an essay on it. If there were a thread discussing marketing on here you'd be fascinated.

It's displacement activity really. If MN were down you'd be suddenly afflicted with hunger, or really need to listen to the news, or realise the toilets were overdue for a good scrubbing again. But you know that.
