Mumsnet offline Thursday night

[YetMoreTech]

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.

see, proof that something is indeed untoward in my programming!!

hmm....

So if I flashed my norks will he think I'm showing him the on/ off buttons?

I like your thinkin TIMDI.......

Rolf Psycho!!!!

rofl at the news article. had me going too until ed balls (i thought fina gord was a clever pun that bbc had chosen to ignore.)

That article is hilarious. How long did it take you though? Talk about having too much time on your hands...

How the hech, Tech, did you manage that?

Brilliant.

Love Fina Gord.

love you, Tech.....xx

Tonight's the night then, eh?

Lovely

Ha! It's not really going offline, YMT just wanted to show you his BBC handiwork.

I am ashamed! I didn't read enough of the pages to realise that the article was a spoof, although I did think the end comment was a bit strange.

I'll get me coat...

ooh, good, still got time to do some MNing...

Will we get a four minute warning, do you think, or will it just all of a sudden go

BLANK

?

don't you people realise what a shit day I've had!?!?!?!?!?!?

you're lucky I'm sans laptop and its McDreamy night is all I can say

dizzy - what's happened, sweetie? tell aunty squonk all about it (but make it less than 47 minutes long...)

I am ousted from mcdreamy.............DH and the older girls have taken over the TV

don;t they realise........

still, I have tech to dream of instead

psycho - how can they be so selfish!!

pmsl squonk

am at dads which is enough in itself but am sorting through mum's stuff to take to charity shops etc and to top it all have just been to see my cousins new farm and have serious property/business/life envy

apart from that all well here thanks!!!

well, EXACTLY squonk......tis the ultimate in selfishness is it not??!!

I mean, I, who gave them life. (well, obviously not gave DH life, but close to it with all the 'fun' making the life/practising makin the life....).

aghhh - can't believe we're already heading towards 11pm, I'm just about to dive into the boxes again and won't have anyone to talk to in my breaks

11pm? bugger! I've only just arrived...

Damn. Will have to go to bed at a reasonable time instead.

I feel lost already, hmm no idea where else to browse.

no it should be between 1pm and 6pm tomorrow afternoon (the time I'll be sat in a totally empty house twiddling my thumbs waiting for virgin to turn up and put my phone and stuff in)

dizzy - the house will be drafty and difficult to clean. Yours is better.

psychomum - tell them that you are doing NO housework tomorrow to make up for lost mn telly time tonight

KM - yep, you're so right. D'ye reckon there's much chance of getting them to put it back an hour?

FAQ - you'll be able to find out whether there is wireless broadband from the neighbours you can piggy back from...
