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.

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!

TrinityRhino · 27/08/2008 19:45

no I dont know who you are

are you a regular with a name change on then??

I just thought the name sounds cool and the three things put together have no relation to each other and it usually quite hard to pick a name like that

SpandexIsMyEnemy · 27/08/2008 19:52

was that it then?

TrinityRhino · 27/08/2008 20:39

I hope that was it

and are all my clocks wrong???

FlightAttendent · 27/08/2008 20:40

AAAAHHHHHH are we back on now?

Are we? God that was awful!!!!

cocolepew · 27/08/2008 20:40

Where did you go?! That wasn't 'after 11'

PuppyMonkey · 27/08/2008 20:40

I got scared then.

eandh · 27/08/2008 20:41

CantSleepWontSleep · 27/08/2008 20:42

DonDons · 27/08/2008 20:48

they were dark and desperate minutes

dooneygirl · 27/08/2008 20:48

It could be worse. You could live in America where it is pretty much down that long or more every night around this time in my time zone.

That (the downtime you just experienced) wasn't it; that was something else and was unplanned.

I said after 11 and after 11 it will be. Unless I change my mind. But I won't. Probably.

TrinityRhino, I am a reg. I keep changing my screen name a little at a time, because I have verbal diarrhoea and I can't stop telling my life story on MN.
