Why doesn't Justine come on MN and discuss thongs

[Puggsville]

I love MN and have no intention of flouncing. I'm also not invested in The Thread That Must Not be Named, but ..

Lots of MNetters are upset/angry/confused about that and other matters. Long term posters are getting banned. Moderation policy is bewildering.

I remember when it were all fields round here Justine used to regularly engage with the membership. Can't she do it again, to resolve matters and show us we're still loved?

I am a fan of the M&S giant pant. One has to have comfort at all times in the bum region at my advanced age.

Justine's debrief when she gets back from holiday.

MNHQ: "There's been a massive hoo-ha, load of regulars have left, the police are involved and tension is running high.

Oh yeah, and the members want you to do a talk about thongs."

She'll be on a lovely white beach somewhere, sitting under her palm tree umbrella, not giving work a second's thought.

Then she'll come home to 12 loads of washing, pouring rain, 12° temperatures, and an ear infection from the plane. She'll be back at work on Monday, with a box of exotic biscuits from the airport, with a positive mental attitude and say:

"Anything major happen last week?"

just another I wished I'd posted mine before yours. Would've made more sense!

Think they have made an arse of this

Remember when she always threatened to shut the site down at least once over the summer holidays and once at Christmas

At Christmas? Then we'd miss all the Christmas PILs nuclear fallout featuring amusing turkey anecdote stories!

Was it last year someone went out with their DC to get chips on Boxing Day afternoon because they were bloody starving after 72 hours on PIL portions.

How many people ARE there at MNHQ? discussing thongs ?

Kate
Becca
Olivia
Lorna
Justine

Is that it??

Iona
Other Justine
Ann

"HoneyDragon" now she just takes those times off and leaves us and MNHQ to get on with it.

I know, let's all drop in a few Archer's spoilers and flush them out that way.

Lou
Katherine

And there are loads of XXTech people, but they're not usually allowed to talk to us.

I miss MainTech (Steve, who was the third person to set up MN)

Sittinginthesun

I feel like ive missed something. Who's been banned? Why are the police involved?

Isn't there Rowan and Emmanuel too?

The Techs are allowed out on threads once a year to do Movember

Why are the police involved?

Oh sorry I don't want to start rumours!

No idea if the police are actually involved or not -- that was for effect!

Oh yes, the Movember thread 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 featuring the MN chaps' moustaches!! I can't believe it was 5 years ago

Sittinginthesun I read that as 'erotic biscuits' maybe all the thong talk has turned my mind to smut

I see we responded with a sensitive mix of mockery and lechery, which is probably why we're not allowed to talk to them

Gets my vote

Update - RowanMN had indeed just confirmed on another thread that Justine is on her hols.

All the problems with undercrackers would be solved if everyone wore Sloggi knickers.

They are known as the 'Rolls Royce' of underwear - I can vouch for that, I've been wearing 'em for 20+ years & never get in a tangle*

*Can get in a tangle that I choose, however

How many people ARE there at MNHQ?

There's Fliss too.

They are known as the 'Rolls Royce' of underwear - I can vouch for that

Me too. I've only ever owned two pairs of sloggis which were my running-away-to-Ireland knickers, bought at the airport when I was 19. They were the bollocks! I should get myself some more.
