Is it resolved now or still ongoing??

I don't remember hearing the outcome.

Don't know - there is some yahoo group - but they wouldn't let me join as I wasn't in their clique - so some people know and others aren't allowed to

Budababe · 05/05/2007 13:29

Still ongoing. I asked a few days ago.

princessmel · 05/05/2007 13:32

Really scatterbrain? How childish. Maybe MN towers will tell us when something happens. Thanks budababe.

earlgrey · 05/05/2007 13:35

I was dying to know, too .....

scatterbrain · 05/05/2007 13:38

I cat'ed you FFF - did you get it ??

FiveFingeredFiend · 05/05/2007 13:40

No

maybe it takes sometimes...bank hol weekend etc?

scatterbrain · 05/05/2007 13:40

It was ages ago - three days maybe !

FiveFingeredFiend · 05/05/2007 14:35

will check again.

as a name changer maybe thats the problem, although i would have thought they would have informed you.

FiveFingeredFiend · 05/05/2007 14:37

nope.

JARM · 05/05/2007 14:39

nothing mentioned on the yahoo group anyway.

I know nothing more than the last update

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 14:41

no one knows at all yet. the yahoo group not accepting everyon is less likely to be a clique thing and more a 'check you're not a journo' thing. did you namechange or join after the big kerfuffle? the 'owner' of the group would be subject, presumably, to the same treatment from swmnbn if things said there were publicised so i think they're sensible to be cautious.

LilRedWG · 05/05/2007 14:43

So, does anyone actually know what happened with SWMNBN?

tigermoth · 05/05/2007 14:49

have no idea, don't belong to said yahoo group, assume nothing has changed much since justine last updated us.

scatterbrain · 05/05/2007 14:53

When I tried to join the group I did email the owner saying it was me - scatterbrain who actually was here at THE BEGINNING - and had no reply to my email and no permission to join. IMO it is a cliqey thing - same person ignored my posts about it on a thread ! Not that I care - I just wanted to knoe what was happeneing - not join the clique !

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 14:56

pmsl, it's not a cliquey thing. much more likely to be human error.
i don't recognise half the names of the people on the yahoo group, there are loads of them. if it's a clique it's a sodding enormous one...

They make you dress in leather and whip an effigy of Aloha. Meanwhile you must chant " M.P. rocket, lebanon don't knock it. M.P. rocket, Lebanon don't knock it.

Then you must give up your oldest child to the holy lentil weavers, who take them and teach them how to grow herbs and wear natual fibres grown only from the fur of vegan fed animals.

tigermoth · 05/05/2007 14:57

ah, scatterbrain, that doesn't sound good

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 14:58

yeah, well there is that, fff.

scatterbrain · 05/05/2007 14:58

No - I was fed up tbh !

how do people have the time to do the yahoo group thing and mumsnet!

(Perhaps they are the ones who never iron and have dishwashers and broadband......)

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 15:08

pmsl again... the yahoo group maybe gets one posting on it a week, it's not a hotbed of intrigue and gossip.
it was, at the time, just a place for people to talk about campaign-y type things without loads of journalists looking, it was a place where people could talk about the swmnbn doc on five and now it's a place where people occasionally ask 'does anyone know what's happening with MN and SWMNBN?' to which the answer is, no, nothing snce justine updated MN...

AitchTwoOh · 05/05/2007 15:09

although idon't know how people manage to MN and MSN, tiger...
