Thanks Rebecca. I hope you managed some sleep - or at least will be getting some soon.

Devilishpyjamas · 23/08/2015 11:07

Owllady visited me once. I gave her tea but no cake. Bad devilish.

Simurgh · 23/08/2015 11:10

Well that's simply not on, Devilishpyjamas. You need to up your game quite a lot!

It's all gone a bit quite round here. Has Jeffery sent cake and gin to you all?

00100001 · 23/08/2015 13:08

the cake is a lie.

Pipbin · 23/08/2015 13:09

But what about the gin? Tell me the gin isn't a lie.

I don't really like gin Sad. I do like wine though. Dry white if anyone's thinking of sending me any not Jeffery though as too young to buy alcohol.

Owllady · 23/08/2015 14:16

The cake is not a lie. It says
Sorry for the global recession
Love from Barclays

Owllady · 23/08/2015 14:17

And devilish you had bought cake, your dog ate them if you remember :o

TheTravellingLemon · 23/08/2015 14:20

binary my faith in humanity has been shaken to the core by your insistence that cake is a lie. You are worse than JeffreyGrin.

I now understand that you are making pop culture joke. I hope you take some responsibility for the panic you have caused. Poor Rebecca is being flooded with emails demanding to know whether or not cake is, in fact a lie.

BoffinMum · 23/08/2015 14:22

Eat 20 apples mid fight - better for you than cake.

BoffinMum · 23/08/2015 14:23

Jux, you put that vair eloquently.

noblegiraffe · 23/08/2015 14:28

Thanks Entertainment

It looks like it's legitimate ad software that can be used maliciously. I'm still no wiser as to whether I should be worried. I'm getting the pop-up message about it not being trusted quite regularly now, only on MN.

BoffinMum · 23/08/2015 14:28

I luffs DH. He has put he to bed with tea and smarties as I am feeling off colour, and is now off to do an Austerity Housekeeping shopping list Aldi run accompanied by DS3. He does not have time to hack things as he is busy engaging with these things and being a nice man.

There's a lot to be said for reformatting your hard disk periodically - the IT equivalent of a clean panty liner in virus prevention terms.

noblegiraffe · 23/08/2015 14:32

I'm on an iPhone, I don't think they have anti-virus programs? Confused Can you get viruses on iOS?

BoffinMum · 23/08/2015 14:45

They are so rare you probably don't need to worry at this stage.

Anti-virus orgasms????? Shock I have been missing out.

Owllady, sorry for the global recession???!!!!!!! Have Barclays turned into Marie-Antoinette? Let them eat cake?

Um, well, they have a point ...

I'm sure dd made cake yesterday...

Jux · 23/08/2015 15:09

Why didn't my Shock work?

Jux · 23/08/2015 15:12

Oh. It has now. This is odd.

MNHQ, when you've finished mucking about with gin and Recession Cake, that post appeared with no emoji, just the word shock slightly offset. It wasn't until I posted the next one that the emoji appeared.

Prob not worth worrying about though. Not when I don't even know if I'm on the gin list. Or the cake list.
