Can it be movec to tech please ?

I reported it and asked, but am now having a crisis of confidence that I am using the wrong protocol.

I didn't expect the overwelming response I got, and I really really really want to be able to read it again next Christmas (and throughout the year when Windows 8 decides to torture me again) cos it veritable drips with human Mumsnet kindness and knowledge and loverlyness. Plus will be uplifting and useful technically for others caught in Dante's less known circle of hell - Stuck With Windows 8 For Eternity

Thnk you, and I hope Santa gave Tech new insulting foam strips for the shed window, so she is all cosy and warm(ish). And Windows 7. Cos windows 8 is ...mean. As are barstsrd youtubers, who should be avoided at all costs. Excpet MN Tech if she is a youtuber. I am sure she is a lovely one. Who doesn't incite wonton hard drive destruction and Evil Partition Deletion Lottery/Russian Roulette

I fully appreciate I have been a pain in the arse from an admin persepctive recently. So I am extra extra groveely and apologietic for not putting my thread in the right place from the word go.

Don't panic people! You children in proper Britihs schools are not being spellingly corrupted by me. It's just TEFL and I am sooooo much better on a whiteboard than a keyboard. And I try much harder when at work. Not that I do much writing anyway. Everybody wants me for my "coax thenspeaking out of you" skillz.

Ahhh Zombie and there I was all of a no dick post.

I teally do think iPads should come with an automatic spellchekery/auto edit function i stead of that godawful predicative text horror.

The my posts would be spiffing!

Even when plarstered and rat arsed.

Carpe, you do realise that (main) Tech is actually a .... M.A.N?!

Anyway, they've moved it to Geeky Stuff www.mumsnet.com/Talk/geeky_stuff/1945464-Ive-actually-cried-all-over-a-computer-That-I-think-I-broke?

In fact, there are quite a few MNHQ chaps - take a look at this thread from 'Movember' 2012 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/have_you_seen_pictures/1613200-Them-taches-are-a-growing-Come-gasp-at-the-MNHQ-Men-and-their-Movember-face-furniture

IamtheZombie · 27/12/2013 16:34

Zombie has a little question, Carpe.

Just how many cats do you have???

CarpeVinum · 27/12/2013 16:49

8 (Lilly is the black and white one, she was abaondoned at nine days old, my youngest adoptee ever, she thinks I am a cat. I am not a cat.) There were 9 ... but an absolute barstard driver on our dirt track came bombing along, damn near knocked me flying and caught Tiger my tabby head on. The fucker. Well actualy that's not counting Jasper and Loulou as well. They died before Lilly came, becuase they were old. They were the Original Cats, when I lived a civilised life in Milan)

Only 4 dogs now. 2 died of being old.

Still have ebil vampire rabbit. He will never die. He lives to bite me when I do horrible terrible things ....like feed him. He'll keep going till eternity, just so he can dance on my grave. Should have called him Damien.

I have decided I will only believe in MNHQ Men if presented with nude photos. Until then, sticking to "Rowan has been at the staff piccies with photoshop"

Nudey photos of the MNHQ men, Carpe? Xmas Shock

I think I'll just go with the fully clothed photos on their profiles TYVM Xmas Grin

CarpeVinum · 27/12/2013 18:08

It was only in the interests of validating the truthiness of MNHQ claims.

No leetching and downloading to hard drive at all!
