Or is it me being inept? Do they need more wine and flowers ? Or is it the dastardly hackers?

heavenknows Tue 25-Aug-15 12:04:29

Housework? Perish the thought! cupcake brew

EhUp Tue 25-Aug-15 12:04:41

The hacker is not happy.

OpheliaAubergine Tue 25-Aug-15 12:35:26

Another refugee! I've been dying to try rhubarb gin, any around?

glassortwo Tue 25-Aug-15 12:36:20

Any Mnetters brought the Pom's with you grin that had to be the best MN thread ever.

Icyalittle Tue 25-Aug-15 12:46:51

I've never tried rhubarb gin either. Definitely up for that. Looks like MN are still having problems though.I just tried and got this.

BlackeyedSusan Tue 25-Aug-15 12:47:43

me too.

EhUp Tue 25-Aug-15 12:49:40

I have never tried rhubarb gin before.

I get the ip address error too. Is Jeffrey trying a new hack?

DixieNormas Tue 25-Aug-15 12:50:42

I miss mn

heavenknows Tue 25-Aug-15 12:52:26

Who knows. It's pathetic really, how they seem to think this is the thing to do. Maybe if they're unhappy with things, they could be helpful and focus on irritating other targets.. you know, like IDS or Smiley Dave or something? grin

I got this recipe for rhubarb gin but no rhubarb! www.fennelandfern.co.uk/blog/2015/08/17/rhubarb-gin-recipe/

I think naughty Jeffrey is having another go. I saw stuff on his twitter yesterday, but he doesn't say much.

Refugeefromthestorm Tue 25-Aug-15 13:13:04

I've had rhubarb gin. It's great smile

heavenknows Tue 25-Aug-15 13:14:33

I don't recall ever drinking gin. Is it nice? Must put this on my "to do" list. grin

EhUp Tue 25-Aug-15 13:18:14

Yes, with tonic or bitter lemon.

OpheliaAubergine Tue 25-Aug-15 13:18:50

Right, off to farm shop!
No ever had gin? Put on list! Is seriously nice. Gin virgin, who knew they still existed?

ninathenana Tue 25-Aug-15 13:20:16

I've been having trouble getting on here for the past 30mins. You sure you didn't leave the door open MNrs ?
It's great to chat to new people I hope none of you are in a hurry to leave cupcake wine

heavenknows Tue 25-Aug-15 13:23:16

So embarrassing. No, never had it. I will add it to the list. Oh, the corruption running rampant here! grin

SaskiaRembrandt Tue 25-Aug-15 14:25:17

Another refugee from Mn here.

Can't comment on the gin, I don 't like it - I don't like your emoticons though, they're much better than ours.

SaskiaRembrandt Tue 25-Aug-15 14:26:07

I do like your emoticons, gah. Now you'll all think I'm some weird troll who goes round insulting emoticons blush

Ana Tue 25-Aug-15 14:37:52

And we've actually got some secret ones, such as biscuit (I know you've got that), birthday3, dragon and football

Plus a lot more that I can't remember off-hand!

Indinana Tue 25-Aug-15 14:39:21

So many refugees here - have we got enough tents? We might well need our gin supply topping up. Right, I'm off to the kitchen to make some more cupcake. What do you fancy - lemon drizzle? coffee and walnut?

EhUp Tue 25-Aug-15 14:44:20

Mn has been back up for a while now. A huge ddos attack apparently. We will restock the gin shortly.

ninathenana Tue 25-Aug-15 14:53:26

Gin turned my DM tea total. She got sooo drunk on it one night in her early twenties she never touched alcohol again.grin

SaskiaRembrandt Tue 25-Aug-15 15:22:46

Definitely lemon drizzle smile

How do I find the secret emoticons? Do I need to use a special handshake or something?

Indinana Tue 25-Aug-15 15:43:28

... while standing on one leg. Actually, if you copy and paste them into a comments box, you'll see what they actually say!

Indinana Tue 25-Aug-15 15:44:55

Sorry, I just noticed I actually typed actually twice in one sentence. Not actually very good form blush
