Mumsnet down again

X posts EhUp. So you've noticed

It's all good fun.

I find that Mumsnet is down at the same time as Gransnet. There was a message on Mums about having been taken over by some something-or-another, but not on Grans - perhaps they close it as a precaution. Any comments HQ?

Quote from the Mumsnet apology notice:

'Many apologies for the inconvenience [gin].'

Things must be bad if they're on the booze already!

Hello I am another munsnetter with nowhere to go

The gin messages been there since some time yesterday evening...lots of gin.

Heh, welcome to any refugee MNers. It's all very sinister. Did you make sure you weren't being followed before you came in?

Morning Lucy. Yes, they keep saying that in a hopeful kind of way. I think we should break out the sloe gin and emergency blankets for them. Shall I taste it to check it hasn't gone off?

<gratefully takes a beautifully knitted blanket and slug of gin>

Hello, thank you for offering us a safe haven. I nearly had to do some work then until I found you lot!

Work? You mean like housework? (Finishes tidying airing cupboard and scrubbing floor) Hope you brought some controversial topics with you we can get aerated about.

Lucy, do you work in the same office as MNHQ? <nosey>

Right, I have joined, am nearly 50 and several of my friends are Grans.

Who is doing this to MN?

A clown.

I'm also a refugee, thank you for letting us take shelter here .

What's the story Lucy? MN haven't updated FB in a fair old while. Are they ok? Have they been kidnapped by Jeffrey? Are they all drunk? <more nosey than EhUp>

And why??? Is it just a stupid game to them?

Hope you liked the sloe gin Lucy. What do you reckon? Does it need more ageing? If so, I made blackberry vodka that might be ready now.

Any room for another one? I bear gifts of flapjacks (I make a mean flapjack) and gin. It is never too early for a gin is it and it counts as a clear fluid doesn't it?

Not a ddos, may have started as a ddos, now they are laying about the office snoring loudly and occasionally hiccuping after all that gin, hoping for a delivery of cake for when they wake up.

can I borrow that... [runsforcoveremotion]

Oooh, flapjacks, yes please.
It's good to see you all, it is always a bit quiet here in the mornings.

And MN site seems to be back!

Some bits are back. Still can't get the talk boards to load though.

Oh, just as I was enjoying myself.

I like it here. <puts on Arnie voice> I'll be back!

<waves at EhUp>

"Nah, then Duck"

I think my new neighbour is extending into my house. He took the plaster off the walls yesterday and now I can hear him banging on the party wall with a tool. <worried look>
