MNHQ Open day live thread

[RebeccaMumsnet]

Morning all,

So today's the day , we have the and at the ready and five lovely MNetters are coming in for a visit.
CecyHall , ChaosTrulyReigns, PotatoPolly, FaceLikeAFriendlyApple and Solo will be joining us between 10am and 3pm today.
Sadly Nevergoogle, at 38 weeks, didn't want to risk a live birth thread and Hansolo had an unbreakable appointment but we hope they will watch on with interest.

We will pop back to this thread throughout the day and update what they are up to and they may very well post too.

If you have any burning questions about MNHQ then please do post and we will try and answer them.

Don't you pronounce doll and hull the same though

Tr-or-l

Hmm wonder if they got to see the list

doll is "o" as in off

Hull is "u" as in up

Zombie pronounces DOLL and HULL slightly differently, KateS.

But NOT as differently as TROLL and DOLL!!

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/troll

Definitely o as in Doll. Not Trull or Trole or Trawl.

Surely Hull like Dull Mull Lull ?

I suppose you might get Naice Troles with bowls in the home counties - but not the part I came from originally!

If you've got speakers, troll has two pronunciations www.howjsay.com/index.php?word=troll&submit=Submit

Although I tend to say troll as in doll, maybe I should pronounce it the Scandi way?!

I've just realised that whatever we're going to ask the MN guests about their visit, they're simply going to say TSSDNCOP, aren't they? And then they'll

That's odd Zombie it sounds like they're defining "trawl"!

Who says Trull?

I inlet have one question about hq... Do they have loo brush?

I have questions too. Who washes up and do able bodied HQers use the disabled toilet?

Can finally post now my phone has stopped dicking around.

Have had a really good day, very interesting, everyone we met was utterly lovely and a nice lunch, what more could I ask for?

Thank you so much MNHQ!

Thank you so much MNHQ!

Hurrah! You're v welcome

Was it a naice lunch, Cecy?

Glad you all had a great day!

Humph!

Yes, pleased you all enjoyed yourselves but I think some of us were hoping for a bit more gossip feedback.

Did you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement?

"Did you have to sign a non-disclosure agreement?"

Yeah, I bet they did!

The reason we haven't heard anything - apart from Cecy - is that they're probably all out getting a bit trollied now - The Ultimate & Secret MN Meet Up

But, but, they started on the gin at 10am.

Don't they have children to feed?

We got free books! That was very nice. And also free lunch. Also vairy naice. And some free booze (but only a respectable ladylike lunch time amount). Everyone is lovely.

And one of the tech guys is hot!

Was Patrick wearing a Mumsnet scarf?!

"(but only a respectable ladylike lunch time amount)"
how disappointing

" Everyone is lovely."
Excellent!

"And one of the tech guys is hot!"
Hurrah!

Respectable?

Ladylike?

What, all of you?

Zombie will be deeply disappointed if Chaso was respectable and ladylike.

Yes, all of us (sorry). RebeccaMNHQ even had just a coke.

Justine did drop her phone down the loo though.

Didn't check for loo brushes at MNHQ (fail). But cam confirm absence of pebbly shit.
