Welcome to the People's Republic of Mumsnet

[GlitterUnicornsAndAllThatJazz]

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.

Sorry Rufus, I tried. :(

You could try appealing to the Great Negan charlatan.

knid



Nope its your fault i have a stain the shape AND APPROXIMATE BLOODY SIZE of Africa ....

And now fuzzy is annoyed

She'll have her attack cat set on me

[Gilead]

Oooh look, my gavel came out in the wash and it's all nice and clean!

[TheVermiciousKnid]

Ah, stop making a fuss. Wear a cat instead. There seem to be enough of them about.

And don't worry, I think fuzzy has just been eaten by a lion.

[Rufustherenegadereindeer1]

Fucksake!!!

Dammit....who drank the gin!!!

(That gavel came out of knids bum...fact )

[TheVermiciousKnid]

It did indeed, Rufus. Was a tad uncomfortable.

[Spartacunt]

Ahem. Might a diagram of cats whereabouts be helpful?

[lostmyfeckingkeysagain]

Minister for Compulsory Horizontal Breaks - where are the reclining chaises longues?

As Minister for MN Cliché's I'm afraid I have to inform you that you're coming across as "entitled".

My office is currently launching an enquiry to determine whether Gilead is "over-invested" in her gavel or whether the rest of you are over-invested in Gilead's over-investment in the gavel or both. It's going to be a long and complex investigation...gin will definitely be required.

[TheVermiciousKnid]

That bloody gavel was over-invested in ME!

[Rufustherenegadereindeer1]

Aaaah

i can help with

[BeesAndChiscuits]

Separation of powers folks, separation of powers. If mn is a state you can’t just stuff the executive with ministers for peppermints, kittens, men and agriculture - you need a legislature and judiciary. And civil servants too.

I hereby nominate myself to be the constitutional expert in the new state of mn.

[lostmyfeckingkeysagain]

I'm sure we had at least one civil servant...they're either out buying more gin, looking for the missing cats or have been emotionally blackmailed into visiting their MIL.

[NeganLovesLucille]

rjay I think that my joke flew over your head!

Maybe I should stick to running cults the church of Neganism rather than making jokes.

A referendum on a republic is needed before any of this can happen.

I have the result ready and will be happy to organise the voting

[BoomalakkaWee]

I have RTFT and am delighted to see that nobody has yet baggsied the position I'm applying for.

Minister for Jigsaw Puzzles!

I shall require a large unfurnished office with lots of natural daylight, preferably not right next-door to the Minister for Kittens' office.

A pantechnicon loaded with the essential equipment for my new role will arrive around 4.30pm. Nobody'll mind if I park it in the P&C space, will they?

[Rufustherenegadereindeer1]

Nobody'll mind if I park it in the P&C space, will they?

Youll have to borrow a small child

Is there a minister for the corralling of small children yet

Im not volunteering...its like herding cats

Oohh...hold on...FUZZY !!!

[FuzzyCustard]

Here I am...cats...THIS WAY

Look kitties, lovely jigsaw puzzles to stomp all over and knock to the floor.

Eaten by a lion? Me? I am not Albert!

[DamsonGin]

Having corralled small children in the past, I'm going to hide behind a pillar for this one. Cats are easier.

On a separate note, does the Minister for Weather also have jurisdiction over comfy warm stoves? We were caught out in a blizzard earlier and not a stove in sight! Nor comfy chairs!

[Rufustherenegadereindeer1]

fuzzy

Oh i love that poem

I used to recite it for the children with accents and everything

They were not impressed ... heathens

[FuzzyCustard]

Oh Rufus all that effort for naught? Bad children! Poke them with a stick with a horse's head handle.
The cats love poetry though. Especially T S Eliot.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

did I go missing?

[Rufustherenegadereindeer1]

Well named badkitten very well named



Has there been a coup?

[Rufustherenegadereindeer1]

Gon?

Gone

[DamsonGin]

I think everyone been caught in that blizzard and are now seeking comfy chairs / laps.
