Can you find me some sandals to go with this toga?

AIBU to think that my slaves don't need a day off?

Oil-cleansing method - what kind of strigil is best?

Is your neighbour the one with a seemingly unhealthy interest in his female relatives?

ImNotInsaneMyMotherHadMeTested · 31/08/2012 16:50

Oh and he's at it again with the bloody fiddle.

My next door neighbour plays the violin badly late at night.

It's keeping DD awake, should I put a tablet through the door or get my slave to call around.

Also, today he appears to have had a feast out the back for Saturnalia, and hasn't extinguished the barbeque properly.

It's making my washing smell and the smoke is getting thicker. Should I move or just put up with it?

WIBU to decline an invitation to eat stuffed dormice at my MILs tomorrow? She has never liked me and since our dd was born has interfered in every way and has given her olives, honey and small birds to eat without my permission. She knows we are struggling at the moment, could she be extending the olive branch right into my face?!

My brother is serving out at the God-forsaken edge of the empire and has sent a tablet saying it's wet and cold and he needs socks and a new cloak. Who's in for knitting some blankets for our brave legionaries in Britannia?

I found out here that DS and his mates have been out carving obscene graffiti around town.

Suitable punishment please?

thecatsminion · 31/08/2012 09:56

AIBU to judge my friend for using a wet nurse?

drjohnsonscat · 31/08/2012 09:56

I hate Gaul. So full of Gaullists who drive their chariots on the wrong side.

Also my MIL is coming to stay and wants me to take her toga down to the stream to bash it with stones. WWYD?

Hi there,

We're moving this thread to classics. Smile

LineRunnerFlameBurning · 29/08/2012 23:52

...because if it's near the AD 79 mark I'd just leg it anyway ...

LineRunnerFlameBurning · 29/08/2012 23:42

Allaonenow, What year would be posting from exactly...??

SpiritInMotionDaddyman · 29/08/2012 23:24

He has a wife you know...

SirBoobAlot · 29/08/2012 23:22

My new neighbor is called Biggus Dickus. I really dislike these new names, what on earth is wrong with traditional ones...

Allalonenow · 29/08/2012 23:07

WWYD (sorry long)
I'm so worried about my DH, he is the secretary to a well known politician. He says he has invented a way of writing speech at the speed people speak at!!

I know this impossible, I fear he is losing his mind. He has been under a lot of stress at work lately, with elections and court cases, and I want to help him get through this.

I've taken him to Herculanuim for a relaxing Spa Day, and bought him some scented candles, but to no avail. He still seems distant and withdrawn, I am worried he could be having an affair, but I know he loves me and our child.

So which deity should I consult, and what would be an appropriate sacrifce be? We do not have much money, so BOGOF suggestions would help me.

Livia - is that you?

LineRunnerFlameBurning · 29/08/2012 22:43

Kill them.

MoonlightandRoses · 29/08/2012 22:41

Maybe send them over some garum? That should destroy help them overcome the stench from the laundry.
