Mumsnet Towers - what do you imagine it to look like?

[OliviaMumsnet]

We ask because obviously we know the harsh reality but we're looking to reveal all put a pic on our Twitter page. So, we'd love to hear your ideas on what you want to see at Mumsnet Towers.
The Shed?
Justine's untidy desk corner office?
Our Studio60 style countdown clock to the full moon?
MNHQ's feral children creche?
TIA as ever

If I have another daughter I may call her Jaunty Bunting Ronaldinhio

you are right it has a nice ring to it, especially if she has friends called Flick and Bunny

I too see you ensconced in a malory towersesque type building.

The hash reality is that it is probably an open plan office in a converted Victorian building, like this MumsnetTowers and if it was, perhaps it just needs some additions on top, Disney Castle style, it can't be mistaken for a dull office block.

I have no illusions. This is because in 2001 I visited Fruit Towers (HQ of Innocent Drinks, when it was still quite a small company) which turned out to be a sort of bunker... I had been visioning medieval turrets in a Kentish orchard...

it looks like this

Pic of the "The troll corner"
where you tell the trolls off
and the bucket you put all the troll posts in
the blackboard where they write hundred times "I shall not be norty and troll like" and the little stool that they stand on to reach the board.

I've lost the plot!

And the MNTowers Beauty and Style Corner:
We need to see your Star dressing rooms, complete with boden wardrobe and glam make up artists, for when you have to get "all proper and look nice" for those interviews with guests.

I don't think Mumsnet Towers would have bunting or cupcakes. Nor would they have desk gonks.

You think they have a harsh 'minimal clutter' desk policy? To maintain the clean lines of their modernist office.

Anyway, who needs desk gonks when they have us lot.

Those of you who think MNHQ is all soft cushions, bunting and cupcakes, have clearly never received a ticking off explaining why your post has been deleted. I used to love them all at Mumsnet Towers. But since the ticking orf, I've embraced my inner Tory rebel. Bring on the spanking next ticking off MNHQ.

Well the ticky off corner is on the opposite side of the room to the troll corner. I would imagine ticky off corner is in the large conservatory, just off the kitchen, so we can see in and gloat.

LeninGrad - I called someone a pretentious twit. Calling someone a cocksuckingmotherfucker is OK, but pretentious twit oversteps the mark apparently. MNHQ won't tolerate Tory-toff-style insults, if you are going to bad maaaaaaf someone, you have to swear like a fucker.

Swedes, you pretentious twit!

Oh dear I keep saying twit in the car at the moment in an effort to curtail my inner fishwife. It amuses the kids but I have now realised it still looks like I am yelling TWAT to anyone in a BMW nother car.

a gleaming silver high rise... like one of those ones in tokyo that are so shiny the other high rises are reflected in them.

weirdly though i imagine the techs to live in a little cupboard in the high rise... round about the middle somewhere. it's a small cupboard with bits of splintery exposed cheap pine and steel girders cutting across corners and a small colony of spiders lurking in a corner. they work with a banjaxed old desktop (crt monitor ) and squabble over who gets to take the blame when they change things.

It's a grey concrete high rise in central London, like that yucky building at the junction of Oxford St and New Oxford St.
Filthy grey carpet.
Desks covered in papers,
freebies[nappies,crocs,sudocreme,snakes,etc] coffee cups, breast pumps and sleeping techies.
Dishevelled women wander about dazed and confused or sleep across their desks, their stained White Stuff skirts and Boden embellished tops covered in dust, snot and throw up.
A room full of Cod memorabilia.
A dungeon full of trolls in chains.

Outside the world is a wasteland of zombies.

The messages from the survivors keep coming in.
Lost in a world of their own devising..............

Do you know what. Out of all these diverse and wide ranging images I think the one thing which is almost gurantee'd is that the desk/room/cubby hole that Tech(s) works from almost certainly has a name plate/some reference to "the shed".

I assume you have a massive bank of monitors each trained on a Mumsnetter. A bit like in Men in black.

I think it's like the philadelphia ad. You're sitting at desks in white fluffy clouds (not dead though obv) and you've all got white dresses and corkscrewy hair

well I am probably going to get banned from mn for this but just so you can have a laugh before you evict me, here are my thoughts on the appearance of mn towers...

I reckon it's like a WW2 bunker, big concrete thing (sorry I can't say it's like a disney fairy palace which i am sure is the image that you want to conjure up ) - with a few green computer monitors and a couple of enormous maps - world domination planned and each of the mners with little red pins and their names labelled to their location (my goodness my mind is warped) Interestingly there is a huge kitchen table in the centre of the control room...
There is a row of little sheds outside in the distance, wherein the poor overworked Techs sit staring at their computers, occasionally going apprehensively to the end shed to make sure the server hasn't demised, in between eating their cheese sarnies and inventing cool new smilies and stuff

I imagine they wear those CSI overshoes. I don't know why.
