So, MNHQ, bedecked in LKBennett (and Boden for the plebs) are all out stuffing pizza and Bolly, half of the posters and hangers-on are there too: what mischief shall we get up to while they're away?

[WilfSell]

Because I bet they've just left BigTech in charge. Or he/she'll be checking in every once in a while, a bit pished and lairy.

So we can DO. WHAT. WE. LIKE. while the Leaders party.

I got there at 6.15 but missed the haiku winners photo.

sarah
i am following your tweets thinking sheesh , she needs a slippers night and SOON>

oh no alst night was S africa

i have lost all sense of time.

Those pictures are rubbish, I'm not in ANY of them

Me neither MP. Phew.

Rubyrubyruby missed the Haiku pic too Po. She was there just lurking behind a pillar.

I made sure I was standing in front of the camera as MUCH as possible

I'm amazed there are ANY without me in

Yes I suppose I ought to be relieved. [But they all look lovely in the photo though]
Very nice to meet you LGT

Justine I do think it was fair, the way you did it, I suppose

but I'm shit at haiku

and wold have loved to have goen

so I'm a jealous bitter old slag

but i'm glad you had fun

NighbyNght, glad you got home safe and sound. I was thinking about you and your long journey today. It was lovely meeting you.

Line ups please. Come on. Throw a bone to use plebs NFIs. You can name-change afterwards...

use plebs? (no that's just what Gordon was doing )

No, I mean us plebs.

You were disinvited Soph ? Where are your manners MNHQ?

those haiku's are really good.

Bumperlicious' is v v clever

oh yes I can just see the situation

MNers: WHO WAS CHOSEN FOR THE GOLDEN PARTY?
MNHQ: ermmm well the policy was just people that we've had doing edity bits, and Haikuers.
MNers:

Ahhhh well, I thought you looked like a complete pixie but forgot I had two foot heels on myself

I WANT TO KNOW WHO THE PICTURES ARE OF.

No-one's gonna tell me are they?

I'm not stalking honest; just pure Hello-esque noseyness.

I'm on the very end, lefthand side, back row.

I don't want to name any of the others in case they won't want to say!

Me too, Wilf.

Forget GB, forget SB, forget JR, forget the man from Google.

We want names of Mumsnetters!!

Come on, don't be shy.

After all, Onebat has so like completely outed herself.

And PolicyWonk (her pic was up on this very website for all to swoon at for ages).

And, also, MorningPaper for her outstanding services to diminutivity on Gok's programme generally.

So come on. Name names. We are only curious and panting for details.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."

Poor Justine, she felt really bad for not being able to invite everyone who wanted to come.

Good grief, I said I don't photograph well, can everyone remember that I am PREGNANT (though obviously not carrying the baby in my thighs, for which I have no excuse. I've just realised why, I always look like I have dead eyes in photo as they are dark and deep set. So I am the one who looks like a zombie (the dead eyes and pregnancy insomnia).

Not going to point out which one I am but it is easy to find out if you look for my Boden dress thread in S&B.

Can I also point out that technically I wasn't a winner, I was second reserve, so really should send Frakkinaround my goody bag though it might be missing some chocolate

MP
That's what I was trying to say earlier on but without swearing - which I should know by now is always a fucking error.

It's a fuckup, no mistake - but I can well imagine the bolt of cold panic that ran through MNHQ as they realised that they would appear to have allowed dreadful favouritism (and to someone so clearly worthy of favouritism, Sophable).

Oh bumper lol re 'carrying the baby in my thighs'

lolol @ you cokcing nobbers
