Mumsnet offline Thursday night

242 replies

YetMoreTech · 29/01/2009 08:49

Mumsnet will be offline tonight, Thursday, from just before 11pm or so. We're doing a few small updates and a bit of housekeeping. It will be off for a while unfortunately, so maybe an early night and check in over your cereal in the morning?

I'm not going to offer MSN updates this time - you'd not believe the story from last time I did that, even if I did tell you, which I won't. The good news is that if it goes badly there will be at least a dozen people to blame. If it goes well I'll be around to take all the credit.

Let's just hope we don't hit the headlines this time.

Tech, tech, the links don't work on mine. I want to read about Baby Einstein [wink}. Very funny, thank you.

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 09:58

OMG.......the side links are real!!!

tech, I am so hoping the link to the samaritons is tongue in cheek

LackaDAISYcal · 29/01/2009 10:00

lol yetmotetech....won't the bbc sue for plagiarism/infringement of copyright though?

MrsSeanBeanHasGivenUpIroning · 29/01/2009 10:02

Do you really live in a shed Tech?

mysterymoniker · 29/01/2009 10:11

'man jailed for urinating on woman' is REAL though

mysterymoniker · 29/01/2009 10:11

what am I going to do if I can't sleep though?

LittleMissNorty · 29/01/2009 10:16

Very good! You obviously have lots of time on your hands

NorbertDentressangle · 29/01/2009 10:25

YetMoreTech -you are a genius! I am PMSL. I started reading that thinking it was a serious article.

I loved the box that pops up when you click the "email to a friend" link

NorbertDentressangle · 29/01/2009 10:27

PS -you are also very clever as I actually opened this thread to moan about the fact you've chosen a night when DP goes out to do your tech-stuff and got distracted and then ended up telling you you're a genius

...very crafty indeed.

RiaParkinson · 29/01/2009 10:28

the bbc web page is classic

fryalot · 29/01/2009 10:40

you had me worried because there's nowt on telly on a Thursday night but then I saw what time you;re going to do it and I breathed a sigh of relief.

Loved the news article

HuwEdwards · 29/01/2009 10:49

Looking at that (brilliant) link, I think it could be 'YetMoreTech' with a tad too much time on his(?) hands.....

psychomum5 · 29/01/2009 11:42

MumHadEnough · 29/01/2009 11:47

Roflmfao, that article was brilliant, you know I actually believe it . I am a bit of a sap for these things actually.

Oh nooooooooooooo I'll need to do my ironing tonight if we're offline, please don't make me do the ironing!

beanieb · 29/01/2009 11:48

bugger!

MumHadEnough · 29/01/2009 11:52

I'll chip in 10p for Legal Bills!

LadyMuck · 29/01/2009 11:57

But I'm sure that I've met Tech, the original one that is. So he can't be that Stig-like. He turned up for a MN Christmas bash one year didn't he?

LilRedWG · 29/01/2009 12:09

PMSL!
