Oh that has cheered me up this morning, brilliant

Tech has a talent for spoof BBC pages - do you remember the one he did when they changed the Mumsnet look and everyone complained about it?

I saved a copy here but it's a text-only version, I'm afraid.

I tried to link to that on Facebook as my favourite April Fool today and it won't let me - keeps reverting to the Virgin Galactic story. Presumably because it will be deleted at 1200?

AnnieLobeseder · 01/04/2011 09:07

LOL! Hooray that the BBC choose MN for its April Fool article. I feel all smug. And I find my father at home very useful too. He looks after those annoying children we seem to have picked up somewhere while I go out of an evening to enjoy myself.

"Melvin Footlong"

I just bet that is Jasonthunderpants!

"Because I don't have access to Mumsnet's Am I being Unreasonable boards, I never know if I'm being reasonable or not. It puts me and other dads at a huge disadvantage."

Aww

AmazingBouncingFerret · 01/04/2011 09:25

Ahh Cory I was just about to post that quote! Has me chuckling.

JuicyLips · 01/04/2011 09:28

Ha Ha love it! I've only just noticed its April Fools day.

aristocat · 01/04/2011 09:33

brilliant story ...... Grin love Justines comment!

Pseudocreme · 01/04/2011 09:34

Wish we could have a legal battle. I could go to court. It's be an opportunity to dress up. Hell, I'd get out of my pyjamas before noon.

Maybe I should attempt some lighthearted defamation. Who's likely to bite?

ShirleyKnot · 01/04/2011 09:39

hahahaha!

Ha-di-ha. Love the Daily Mail reference; do you think DM readers will get it?
Interested to know if they needed MNs permission to run a fabricated story.
