I can't believe we're on 7.

In need to go and catch up on the last couple of pages of 6.

Still no CFN OR ANYONE.

I'm thinking someone will be there tomorrow. HOPEFULLY.

Someone asked for a Latin tag in thread 6 - for the silken banner used for all MN protestors. I've put two together:

Nil ad Feminas MN nisi bonum et nemo nos impune lacessit. "Nothing but good to the women on MN and no one dicks us around."

Excellent Millie - now we just need volunteers to embroider it onto the banner . . .

Spookle · 30/07/2017 19:23

@HotelEuphoria Genius! If the real explanation is too mundane then I suggest we go with your plot for our musical extravaganza. Artistic licence and all that innit?

Spookle · 30/07/2017 19:25

SchadenfreudePersonified Me! Me! Me! jumps up and down like a demented Minion

It won't be embroidered but I'm on it..

OVienna · 30/07/2017 19:25

These are like the Downton threads now...

gingergenius · 30/07/2017 19:31

I'm working on a rewrite of 'can you hear the people sing' from Les miserables, as a stirring anthem to keep @WhatIsThisWatt strong in the face of adversity!

Doublemint · 30/07/2017 19:32

YES! I GOT TO THE END OF THE THREAD!

I'm so happy right now I could cry.

I wish I could think of something clever to say but I'm just so so happy I've finally caught up!

Loving all the songs and poems. I feel like I'm part of something. Like we should all be wearing MN ponchos and singing some kind of ballad holding candles in OPs garden in spooky/PA protest. I am doing just that, in spirit.

TheLittleShirt · 30/07/2017 19:32

Would I be banned as a troll if I started a thread called " AIBU to think that my ndn should let me share her private garden even though my new door opens out into it?"
Just wondering what we would all say to cfn.

PUGaLUGS · 30/07/2017 19:38

Checking in from York.

I hope the CFN's are suitably ashamed of themselves.

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 19:40

Why has NO-ONE suggested this before?!?!?!?!

Never mind trying not to catch my eye! I want an explanation and it had better be good!

Doublemint - Well, done that woman. You are hood and poncho above the rest.

GodIsDead · 30/07/2017 19:42

@HotelEuphoria I agree completely with your analysis!

faithinthesound · 30/07/2017 19:43

Good news: I am awake!
Bad news: I have to go to school*.
Good news: There's a built in block where we're supposed to work independently... guess what I'll be working on?

*Tertiary education. Don't worry, I'm not secretly some snotnosed nasty little teenager infiltrating the ranks of the adults.

HunterHearstHelmsley · 30/07/2017 19:44

Where the bloody hell are they?!

Glittertwins · 30/07/2017 19:45

Love the punk version, humming along quite happily with my wine!

CaveMum · 30/07/2017 19:45

Checking in whilst in holiday in Norfolk! Catching up while I wait for DS (3 months) to drop off.

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 30/07/2017 19:45

I'm very impressed with all the songs but I am rather behind the times with new fangled modern music so would find it enormously useful if you talented plagiarists songwriters would give me a clue what I'm meant to be singing.
YouTube links to provide music would be welcome!
The ones I've enjoyed the most have involved singing along to the relevant tube, not just reading the lyrics

Ruthie2k · 30/07/2017 19:45

The suspense, I have finally caught up with all of the threads.
If Hotel Euphoria is correct then CFN may not be back for a while if has the summer off uni 😱😱

MadamePomfrey · 30/07/2017 19:47

Well I put my dectective hat on and thought if I were a CF where would I hide from mumsnet?? So taking one for the team I went on a much moaned about on mumsnet spa day!!! Unfortunately no Barry and Julia there was a a couple having a rather odd photo shoot but apart from the no sign of CF's I'm happy to carry on my tireless search for the good of the thread though 😂😂

ClashCityRocker · 30/07/2017 19:51

If it is an overseas owner, what happens then?

Presumably planning can obtain their overseas address?

ClashCityRocker · 30/07/2017 19:52

Or will the property remain empty with patio doors in place?

ClashCityRocker · 30/07/2017 19:52

Coz that would be Most Unsatisfactory.

TheLittleShirt · 30/07/2017 19:53

Hotel I love your theory, but I'm buggered if I can wait until the start of next term to hear how this resolves. We will be on thread 97 by then.

fourfuckssake4 · 30/07/2017 19:53

I'm back Grin cat feed (twice) device recharged Grin dog walked Grin dishwasher emptied, tumbler on (feeling smug) however, dh said he would 'hunter, gather for tea Hmm still waiting for tea! Will have more Wine what have I missed?

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 30/07/2017 19:53

Surely they have to come back soon??

mumof06darlings · 30/07/2017 19:56

Maybe they are out garden shopping and watty will soon be getting a delivery of garden furniture as they are none the wiser of what is going on 😂

SchadenfreudePersonified · 30/07/2017 19:58

They're still waiting for the return of the passengers and crew of the Marie Celeste Penguins

I wouldn't hold your breath . . . Sad
