There will be a short period where Mumsnet is off the air tonight (Wednesday). Hopefully it won't be for more than a few minutes so there shouldn't be any need to, y'know, talk to your partners or anything.

Damn the dd's decided they wanted an early night I hoped that by doing bedtimne I'd come back discover you had been offline and reappeared

Now I bet you do it when I am in teh middle of a mammouth talking crap post

TrinityRhino · 27/08/2008 18:47

cant you tell us when you are about to doi it so we can prepare????

Swedes · 27/08/2008 18:51

Do you think there might be a sizeable peak in the national birth rate 38 weeks hence?

cocolepew · 27/08/2008 18:57

They'll be articles in the papers tomorrow about the power surge on the national grid.. The journos will scratch their heads wondering what caused it, and we'll know it was all of MN putting the kettle on.

PestoMonster · 27/08/2008 19:12

If you would kindly let us know when it's going to be, we could arrange our dcs' bathtimes around it....? (Mine usually go up at about 7.30ish [hopeful emoticon])

I reckon he's doing it just to toy with us. Just to make us realise how much power he has over all us vulnerable women.

Grublin · 27/08/2008 19:21

Cute baby YetMoreTech

TrinityRhino · 27/08/2008 19:21

Macdog · 27/08/2008 19:30

Fingers crossed I don't have irate drag queen in garden/suicidal neighbour crisis then!!!

S1ur · 27/08/2008 19:31

Just a few minutes.. Is that the punchline to a joke?

How long does it take five techs armed with manuals to change a lightbulb?

Just a few minutes - unless its a bayonet.

CuckooSplodgeandTubs · 27/08/2008 19:32

Swedes, that's what I was thinking . The May 09 birth threads will be bulging.

I don't have a husband to talk to so I'll have to defect to babykidztipz or whatever it was kalled karen1985! ONLY joking...

TrinityRhino · 27/08/2008 19:33

cuckoosplodgeandtubs

that is an amazing name, how on earth did you come up with it??

WilfSell · 27/08/2008 19:36

Yetmoretech, you're proper funny. Do you secretly MN on the side? Male or female? Did we teach you all our best tricks lines or is it a requirement of the job?

I can see MNHQ drafting the job description, sat round the amoeba shaped table they're hotdesking on, bedecked in Whitestuff combats, LKBennett wrap dresses and flipflops, drinking green tea and actually writing 'must be able to fend off cackling harpies be diplomatic with good humour'

CantSleepWontSleep · 27/08/2008 19:39

Oh bravo. After 11 is fine by me.

CuckooSplodgeandTubs · 27/08/2008 19:41

TrinityRhino, do you secretly know me? Those names make sense to me, but I think they are just gobbledeegook to everybody who doesn't know me.

Cuckoo does not mean a husband-stealing 2nd wife by the way! As I know that would make me v. unpopular around here!
