Wish you could work in the word flannel though...

DontTellThePrincessBride · 20/08/2015 21:47

And speculation on how often he changes his sheets.

his flannel is minging, his spirit is weaker, Nothing left for him but to sip from his Penis Beaker?

Glittery7 · 20/08/2015 21:54

Ridiculous that I've been made to change my password 3 times in one day. WTF!!

Fairenuff · 20/08/2015 21:58

I see that the warning has gone from the login page now. Any reason for that HQ?

PacificDogwood · 20/08/2015 21:58

Stepanie, kudos Grin

StephanieBeacham · 20/08/2015 21:59

Poor Jeffrey only had one sheet,

a flannel, folded, rather neat,

he did not wash them very oft,

(the algae on them made them soft)

his buddies over on 8-channel

didn't care about his flannel

all their bedsits smelled the same

a mouldy sink, a sense of shame -

and so his life was turned around

when he in mumsnet's bosom found

a proper throng of goodly wimmin

to make him wash his dirty linen.

Smile

I'm feeling really sorry for him now.

You are a poetess of epic rhyming power, Steph, but I still don't feel sorry for Jeffrey. He remain a prick. Hope the SWAT get him soon.

StephanieBeacham · 20/08/2015 22:04

No fair enough PD. ahem.

I have to get the minions to bed. And put on some more lipstick. Back to serious matters.

leedy · 20/08/2015 22:12

I think Steph has done a wondrous job
Although he's still a total knob

I got the email from Virgin, which may have been a coincidence, but as I do have a Virgin Trains log in I have changed my password. I didn't follow the link in the email though.

oolaroola · 20/08/2015 22:21

I received an email from MNHQ saying that I'd requested a password reset - I didn't. I did a couple of days ago when the first message went out to advise resetting your password but I hadn't got around to doing it the second time. Have emailed MNHQ to let them know and have now changed my password again.

PacificDogwood · 20/08/2015 22:22

Ebay just asked me for further security questions/answers. Interesting

Has Dad_Sec got the Whole Of The Internet getting worried?! Shock

Has Dad_Sec got the Whole Of The Internet getting worried?!

Yes, PD - we are all going to implode!!

T'was nice knowing ya!! Grin

OMGmetoo · 20/08/2015 22:26

Someone tried to login to a forum that I mentioned here once, I got the "5 attempts, now locked out" email. Thankfully, I had already changed the password there, it was the only sire that shared the password with MN.

VivaLeBeaver · 20/08/2015 22:28

Oddly enough ive also had a five attempt email from an obscure guinea pig forum I sometimes frequent.

Fleurdelise · 20/08/2015 22:29

Stepha_nie Grin

The way I imagine our Jeff is around 14 yo and spotty, can you include spotty Jeff in your rapping? Grin

Pipbin · 20/08/2015 22:33

A guinea pig forum? Why would they want to get into that?

TheFlyingSimurgh · 20/08/2015 22:36

Because it was there?

PacificDogwood · 20/08/2015 22:40

It is The End Of The World As We Know It!!

A guinea pig forum was attacked too?? Mind. Boggled.

Maybe my GP called Jeffrey is the Jeffrey after all
