Hello everyone.
Welcome to the People's Republic of Mumsnet. The republic is currently without a government, so we'll need to start getting organised.

I invite you to put yourself forward for any given position, taking care to elaborate on why you consider yourself suitable for the role.

I've currently appointed myself as Republic Designer, a temporary role that expires as soon as a President is elected.

Positions we will need to fill:
President
Vice President
Minister of Culture
Minister of External Affairs
Minister of Women
Minister of Snacks

Feel free to make your case for a role, propose new roles, and explore what other things we may need to put in place to become a well respected republic with international clout.

Splendid. Glad you're with me on this. Think SoFancy might be onto something with exile in certain particularly egregious cases 🤔

If you seem to be short a couple of cats, my two are agoraphobic. And ridiculously attached to me. But open to teleconferencing. Also, I think I may need them for Stroking Menacingly purposes.

Rufus, gin.

If there's even the slightest chance that any of the cats are still missing I really must insist someone log it with 101 immediately.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 17:36

Here you go gilead Gin

Can i have a quick look at your gavel? [innocent face]

Gilead · 10/02/2018 18:04

Noooooo!

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 18:05

Hehe hehe hehe

Fatal mistake hiding it in Cake

Mwah ha ha

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 18:06

Just off to find a cake fork

(As i am dead posh)

FuzzyCustard · 10/02/2018 18:08

Since it is our own republic I think we need a special phone number for reporting missing cats. 101 won't cut it, it's just too general.

All Ministers cats are welcome to the cat party HQ. Bring cat food.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 18:09

And bring cake forks

TheVermiciousKnid · 10/02/2018 18:10

Sorry.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 18:17

Bring more cake forks

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 18:18
Shock
Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 18:19

Id watch yourself knid

The gavel being inside you isnt going to stop gilead

TheVermiciousKnid · 10/02/2018 18:39

Argh.

You all seem to forget that I'm the dictator!

TheVermiciousKnid · 10/02/2018 18:40

Sorry Rufus. I'm sure it'll come out in the wash.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 18:41

Im not sure it will come out in the wash

Im gonna have to beat this stain with a rock!!!

ZebraOwl · 10/02/2018 19:01

729 (PAW) for all feline-related emergencies?
I would further propose that 983 (WUF) is given over to the corresponding canine team - AlpacaLypse's department, I believe.

I realise dogs also have paws, but

  1. Cats got in first
  2. THE TINY JELLYBEAN TOES
  3. Makes sense to use PAW for the hotline on which people may need to report The Hidden Paw...
TheVermiciousKnid · 10/02/2018 19:05

You could maybe rub the stain with a cat? There seem to be quite a few around. Or a lion maybe?

HanarCantWearSweaters · 10/02/2018 19:10

My lions are unabsorbent, thank you.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 10/02/2018 19:43

You could maybe rub the stain with a cat?

Ooh yes

Nice idea

FUZZY...DO YOU HAVE A CAT I COULD BORROW

(As hanar is refusing to share Hmm)

FuzzyCustard · 10/02/2018 20:03

You CANNOT use cats for laundry emergencies. NEVER!
(Calls 729 to repost misuse of kitties - thanks zebra)
Just use your hanky like grannies the world over.

TheLastMermaid · 10/02/2018 20:06

Keep tripping over cats, empty gin glasses and cake forks; had enough, going for a lie down...

Minister for Compulsory Horizontal Breaks - where are the reclining chaises longues? Do I have to do everything? I only signed up for settees, cushions and comfy chairs.
