Did you ban John Hemming (the MP) for outing me ?

CarpeVinum · 21/12/2013 23:47

Cos he isn't on The Thread.

And I'd like to know why.

I am immaginging that the party whip we've been phoning, emailing and twittering has tied him up and run off with his keyboard.

Can I hang on to that fantasy, or did you ban him ?

It's not the end of the world to me that he posted my twitter account, knowing it was me and knowing it was my real name. But I will quickly drum up some minding if required to purge MN of his presence.

I saw on his website that he has a physics degree and speaks 6 languages - he must have braincells, but what on earth is he doing with them??

I'll do some more emailing after bedtime, honest, Guv

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 19:10

speaks six languages, rather badly?

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 19:37

Espcially Italian Grin

I did up to all the Ls!!

Ow! Clapping hurts "email knuckle" injury.

If nothing else, Birmingham will be abuzz with this...and often its the grassroots protests that prod the mandarins into action...

Why is that website so DULL!

You'd think they'd make it more interesting to stare at for hours at a time.

Guess which female fictional character I emailed in her role as Bham Councillor ?

Well, not until they get back from their REALLY LONG holiday Madame, I have an inbox filled with "I am away right now, till 4th of January, so don't worry if entire city falls apart while I'm gone, priorities people!"

...or words to that effect.

Do they not see their twitter feeds tho?

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 19:51

that'll be our Brigid!

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 19:52

In the past, Brum had a reputation to rival, er, Italy's, in the passing of silver over palms etc...

I'm sure its all different now.

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 20:12

Ohhhhhh! S'happneing on Twitter !

Politcial type with large following castigated Hemming and retweeted link to synopsis ! Think one of Mumsnet Army-Political Conduct Division caught her attention during chat.

Carpe, can you give us the gist of your emails so that, if I ever get a moment's peace (fat chance, even when the DCs are asleep, until school starts up again), I can do something along those lines with other MPs?

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 20:27

MrsWembley

Look up, my really long post to Tierd, that's the entire text I am emailing (don't trust people to actually click links) with snappy subject line, which may or may not contain words like

MP pub Mumsnet ban "not sober"

in scintillating and diverse combinations ...worthy of DM headline writer.

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 20:29

Oh god am getting all excited about first proper tweet person tweeting our stuff !

OP posts:
MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 20:29

can you pm the twitter name so I can follow vicariously?

MrsWembley · 29/12/2013 20:32

Is that the blog you co wrote? I was thinking about mailing a link to that but I understand your reticence.

If you're ok with it being copied and pasted then I will, with a reference to your good self.Grin

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 20:46

Link is fine, I am just not sure if people will click it,mthe link is right at the top of the text.

I just checked the blog stats.

Shock

My typical 3 a day is going to be a right disappointment after this blip. Grin

MadameDefarge · 29/12/2013 20:52

Spero · 29/12/2013 21:18

oooo! What are the blog stats?

Well done all. I was quite proud of my TWO emails but you have now given me a useful lesson in perspective...

CarpeVinum · 29/12/2013 21:21
