Come on in, you raddled old caaaaahs, whotchoo waitin' for?

I've gone for a groovy 60s psychedelic theme, so get your fat upper arms comfy in the hanging globe chairs and hide your mememe shame in the glow of the lava lamps!

Russell Howard is our new bartender, although I don't think he's happy at the flares 'n' kipper tie outfit I've forced him to wear. And of course, Mitchell is in the pit, nervously awaiting his first guest.

Let's make this one diffalicious!

I'm trying to work out whether the hotels you lot stay in are more exciting or more worrying than any I've ever been in!

Congratulations on the lack of menkul M'dear, what's the secret?

Just seen another birth announcement on FB, and while I'm delighted for them, I'm wondering why someone needed to comment about them now having 'a full set' - 1+2 were girls, this is a boy (and they chose not to know before the birth). What would they have been saying if no. 3 had been a girl too?

ginhag · 30/04/2010 22:25

Actually the 'intimacy kit' I came across (FNAAAR!) most recently (when in That London at upit'sownarsenicehotel) contained...2 fancy condoms, some lube and some antiseptic wipes. For a tenner. How classy. Who said romance is dead?

Scorpette · 30/04/2010 22:14

That was to Meds about the kiddiwinks, not you about the vibrators, gin! And you're welcome, my little pocket rocket

'Intimacy kit', eh? Eeeeeh, them there Southerners know how to live. It's another world.

Scorpette · 30/04/2010 22:11

And I know it didn't occur to you once to steal one

ginhag · 30/04/2010 22:10

Vibrators come sealed in a packet...sometimes in an 'intimacy kit' (fnaar) so all brand spanking new.

muse I would try n just go 'fukkit' and do booze n shagging.

scorps thanks. Heart ya

Medee · 30/04/2010 22:08

I managed not to think much about TTCing while away, as the hotel room was too hot to be worth taking my temp and had left the CBFM at home (wrong time of month anyway) so apart from occasional cute kids, especially the ones paddling in the water at the V+A, I was not menkul at all.

Scorpette · 30/04/2010 22:02

Medee, I was also thinking that. But my tightfisted eye for a freebie won!

(Can you have a tightfisted eye? Well, tough!)

Scorpette · 30/04/2010 21:58

Muser - That must we so aaaargh-making and confusing. Only advice is to try and ignore and enjoy Brighton and see what's occurin' upon your return I can't begin to imagine the headfuck of it all

OP posts:
Medee · 30/04/2010 21:56

vibrators in a mini-bar? But how do you know they are clean?

Muser · 30/04/2010 21:34

Also. Am the Queen of Menkul. Period v late so am worried an diffed. Even though we had sex once last month and used a condom. Menkul! This is what being diffed twice without ever missing the droid does to you.

Muser · 30/04/2010 21:26

I'm popping in sneakily. Am in Brighton in v nice hotel. Have drunk champagne and eaten fish n chips, dead classy. First hotel I've been in that has vibrators in the mini bar. Now off to find more booze. Chinese burns to all.

Scorpette · 30/04/2010 21:20

I'm here now! You deserve your gorgeous small because you are fabulous. Fab-u-lous, do you hear me? And I bet your kids' books will be fab too - you are v creative and thoughtful, so it sounds a winner to me. What about your company doing the pics? I'd like to see the adventures of the weemees!

Medee, whaa g'waaan with you? Care to be the filling in a Scorpy-Gin sarnie?

OP posts:
Medee · 30/04/2010 20:51

I'm here!

ginhag · 30/04/2010 20:04

I dunno,I come back and you all sod off somewhere....

ginhag · 30/04/2010 20:02

Aries that fing wot you just wrote sounds a lot like me. Old skool beshes have heard me say bout not deserving the lovely small one due to my rubbishness on many occasions.

However for some reason he seems to think I'm great. And oh bloody hell I nearly made myself cry typing that

am double hard bastard innit

ginhag · 30/04/2010 19:51

Oh oh oh and YES to beshfest #2. I want all the bands I said last time,plus the xx and toots and the maytals.

ginhag · 30/04/2010 19:49

Yo yo fuckin' yo.

Am here,in a generally alive sort of state. Sorry for causing any concern,have been ok but just not able to think about ttc without getting all properly mental with tears and snot and such.

Far too much to catch up on but thanks all you lovelies for,well,being...lovely...

lorry that is a cunting pile of arsewank.

muse I think you can have a proper gin-the-fishwife styleeee swearaliffic yell at the unfairness of the pissbollocks droid.

cam I have been thinking of you and am sorry it's all dragging on.

ead I have no idea if you should retrain,or keep training at what you is doing or what. Mostly because everyone round here is so bastard secretive about their real lives. Well,except me and...well,just me really.

Lyra have also been thinking about you and your family A Lot. Smooches to ya.

scorps c'mere and have a nice mud wrestle. It's been a while.

And Every Other Wonderful BESH... Have a pint of wine on me.

Lately I have mostly been trying to write children's stories. Anyone with 'connections' in the land of books n shiz feel free to hook me up. Tho nowt is finished. And you can all take this as proof that even those of us with 'proper' and sort of successful careers (even if found by accident) are still often not actually doing the magical and elusive thing that is the one true thing that will make us super happy and fulfilled for like evaaah.....

Fuck me I'm gonna have to lie down now.

Medee · 30/04/2010 19:48

Hello ladeez, just back from a few days in thatLondon. I'm sorry to hear Lorry has been beeped. Can anyone update me on thread activities for the last few days?

CurlyCasper · 30/04/2010 19:10

try slugging down some of this here gin starsigngirl. Sorry about the glums.

Can I add my voice to both the calls for ginhag to let us know she's ok, and for a Midlands BESHfest.(If I'm allowed...)

Is anyone else crazy enough to be out driving in the Bank Holiday traffic hell? Thank the wee man for my laptop and dongle

Hello lyra Hope your dad is improving
And sorry laurie. That is truly wank

Ariesgirl · 30/04/2010 18:45

Help. I'm SO glum and depressed today. For no real reason apart from work stress and uncertainty about the future and that sort of crap. Am also suddenly convinced that I'll never have a baybee, and even if I do, I won't deserve one because I'll be so rubbish. The thought of even summoning the will to smile makes me feel even glummer. Crack open the anti depressants someone. Can you get them in Tesco's?

Scorpette · 30/04/2010 18:33

Oy! LittleDrommerBoy! Did I say you could climb out of my cleavage? Get back in there, fickle wench!

No need for thanks, Lyra, don't mention it. We are locked together in a near-Hallowe'en battle of impending cronedom. But I don't like to be a stereotypical Scorp and be melodramatic or anyfink How's PapaLyra?

Am loving idea of this year's BESHtival, although my excitement is tinged with sadness that I was there for last year's one and I still haven't won my baybee, despite spending all my money on the hook-a-duck and tombola. Jipped, I wuz, pure jipped! We need to work out the line-up again (please note: The Pixies will be performing. This is non-negotiable).

And yes, where be our GinnyWinny? Missing you, Lover!

lyrabird Right back atcha. Hope the bank holiday goes well in LyraLand.

And I haz been thinking about ginlet too. Where the bollocks is she?

RunLyraRun · 30/04/2010 16:20

Oh bollocks, I missed Humphrey, whom I love. I think she is a paragon of dignity and grace. Hope you get results soon matey.

RunLyraRun · 30/04/2010 16:19

Muser, what a bastard the driod is - some of HBs pain meds (combined with lots of booze, obv) might help the weekend a bit?

RunLyraRun · 30/04/2010 16:17

Am crawling out of the Pit to put in a bid for a middle of the country BESHfest - maybe Brumfest?

Lorry, I'm so so sorry mate.

Head, go do that thing (I know what it is, ha!)

Gin, been thinking/worrying about you

Scorps, thanks for the half year birthday reminder, beeatch

Poll, love to you and BooTwo

Gotta dash, but I will catch up over the bank hol and bore you all with more tales of woe from LyraLand.
