The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

Welcome to The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia. The national drink is of course gin, state funded to get you into a state. We have many traditions and customs, such as sechsing, swearing for the fun of it (optional) and urinating on little white sticks.
Enemy of the state is Droid, who must be heckled heartily should it put in an appearance. There is an ongoing lottery to win a baybee, being granted citizenship of The Republic is your ticket to the lottery.

As a democracy all members are entitled to put forward any customs or rules they would like and we can all adopt important but silly titles if we like. See the George Carlin sketch about hats and religion and make your own mind up about whether you would like a ceremonial hat to accompany whichever title/role you bestow upon yourself.

Newcomers should find and complete the BESHtionnaire so we can make sure you are cynical and non-fluffy enough to be granted Citizenship.

Blimey cave! how I luff having broadband so I can watch links like that
At the end it actually looked like the other horses were traveling backwards, he was going so fast! Oh and I'll have two of his horsey babies :)

CaveMum · 20/06/2012 20:42

He won! By a devastating 11 lengths. He was unreal [gushes] He's currently rated the best horse in the world, but people are talking now about him potentially being the best ever.

It was just a one day visit this time, I'd love to do more but you'd need plenty of stamina, plus lots of lovely outfits!

You can

People on the know are talking about his breeding career, which will most likely begin next year. Most people seem to expect him to have a fee of around £100,000 per mare Shock

Was it just a one day visit, c? Or are you there stalking Frankel every day?

I'm quite interested in Frankel now. How did he do?

CaveMum · 20/06/2012 20:14

You're all extremely kind Grin

For all you fashion-fact lovers out there this is the dress, though they don't do it in pink anymore.

FriendofDorothy · 20/06/2012 19:17

Phwoar cavey! you look fabulous!

HaveALittleFaith · 20/06/2012 18:54

Aww we've made cavey blush! Wit woo cavey!

Well I survived being back at work. Popped to my Dad's after work and he was looking after DNephew who was very pleased to see me [grim] nice to be luffed! Sometimes he's just so funny!

Northey · 20/06/2012 18:52

Wow, cavemum, you look lovely. I mean like a lovely person in real life, not just beautifully dressed!

CaveMum · 20/06/2012 18:38

Sorry this is so rough for you bugs. I hope work has been ok.

CaveMum · 20/06/2012 13:53

(hugs) for you Bugs Sad hang on in there, we're all rooting for you.

If anyone is interested (coz I know you is all nosey Wink) I've put a picture of me at Ascot yesterday on my profile.

lovesLemonDrizzleCake · 20/06/2012 13:18

Oh sorry bugs that is rubbish, fingers crossed for better news next week. Really hope you're somehow coping today and you get some distraction from being at work.

Euro - utter shite (more elsewhere) and GRRR.

Yay for appointments made, fingers crossed they can actually work out what is wrong with you faif. You need fixing, I insist on it!

Oh and YAY for frankel hope you had a good day drooling, cave.

Hurrah for the flickering heart queen, congratulations!

I've only just caught up on yesterday's posts. Bugs I'm sorry the scan didn't provide reassurance for you. It's a difficult one to call, on the one hand you might feel like you can't focus on work but on the other hand if you stay at home you might drive yourself mad with worry.

Euro, sorry to hear about your smear result. Can you get your fertility doctor to call your GP and explain the situation?

Northey · 20/06/2012 05:58

Could you take some time off, bugs? I sympathise so much. Between my first and second scans I went on holiday with my sister (hospital was. Shock that the doc let me go - I was v lucky not to rupture while away, but anyway). It was awful. I could barely speak half the time - my mind was absolutely one track. she knew nothing about what was going on. The strain of trying to act normally was horrid. On the other hand, I'm not sure sitting at home frozen in fear the whole time would have been any healthier for me.

Are you meant to be going in today?

Thanks both. I've heard about the changes returning to normal on their own. I wonder if the abnormal result is due to the HPV virus (which 80% of people have so I assume I am one) becoming more active after 6 months of immune-suppressing steroids.... Maybe after a few months my immune system would make the virus back down.

HaveALittleFaith · 19/06/2012 21:38

That's bllocks euro*. What rubbish timing :( My friend had one abnormal and when they retested it was ok. I really, really must book my smear I hope your GP can reassure you.

Northey · 19/06/2012 21:32

euro! Argh! I'm so sorry. Obviously you'll work out what you want to do with doctors and so on, but if it would help I can tell you my experience of the same thing? I had several irregular smears, with treatment in between, and was told not to get pregnant. In the beginning I was obedient to that, but eventually, because the whole thing dragged on over years, I just started having unprotected sex again, thinking that if I did get pregnant I would postpone treatment for a year. Obviously if it had turned properly cancerous I would have acted differently, but at the "irregularity" stage I thought it was a risk worth taking, especially since the changes apparently often return to normal on their own.

What crap crap timing though. I'm so sorry for you. You really don't need anything extra to deal with in the gynae area...

eurochick · 19/06/2012 21:23

norfy it hasn't helped me.

I'm glad the massage was good faif.

bugs sorry to hear your reassurance scan wasn't reassuring.

I am having a bit of a shit evening. I came home to find my smear test result on the doormat. For the first time in 18 years (the time I have been having them) it is abnormal. And the accompanying leaflet says it should be repeated and not to get pregnant until any issues are resolved. Helpful when I am in the middle of an IVF cycle... I've booked a GP appointment Monday to discuss. I think I'll try to get a gynae referral for some proper advice. Maybe I can continue with the IVF cycle, freeze any embryo and have a quicker repeat test. Meh. Really not what I need now.

Northey · 19/06/2012 21:21

cavemum, I like that you have the West Wing twice in your "tv likes" in your profile :)

CaveMum · 19/06/2012 21:13

Evening all, I'm back! Teas a fabulous day, and yes Frankel was phenomenal Grin

I'll try and pop a photo of me in my posh frock up later.

Northey · 19/06/2012 21:00

Ooh, how dOes that work, 30dayShred? Does it give you ewcm all the time? Or boost it at the appropriate moment? Does it work ok with Clomid, do you know?
