Bluestocking lock in!

Oh man now im disappointed that she didn't actually change her name to kimjongunoffeminism

If bertrand is kimjong who is trump?

That's brilliant, Quent

I'd be surprised if Bert has been "disappeared" rather than temporarily going AWOL - she's blunt but always respectfully so, and within talk guidelines, and posts on a wide number of issues - quietly GC but not one of the more outspoken voices, if you see what I mean.

Well that's disappointing

I was going for the nice holiday theory

Sorry to disturb the tea talk

It just occurred to me that I haven't 'seen' bertrandrussell around lately (another thread was saying that none of the FWR regulars are MIA...thats what triggered the thiught off)

Name change? Hope so...or nice holiday, nice holiday would be better

Tea pot, tea cosy and mug design, material and integrity is key here. These things are Important.

The extra quarter pint is kept warm in the pot under the tea cosy and is then used to refresh the pint as and when. Using the appropriate equipment will give you a good 40 minutes of bevarege satisfaction.

Probably best not to get me started really, I can go on about tea and tea related paraphenalia like other people do about and . That and the DeHavilland Mosquito.

Doesn't a pint of tea get cold before you've finished? I love tea, but can't drink it quite that quickly. Also, part of the point of tea is the ceremony. And at home, having to make a fresh mug (large but not that large) gets me off my butt every half hour or so, which is of course very healthy.

My personal teapot is one and a quarter pints. Two and a half and three pint pots are deployed should visitor numbers require.

I know Otley a bit. Good charity shops. However, caff? Caff? I carry a two pint flask wi me everywhere tha knas. Caffs is for them as has nay respect fer brass.

Same again please. I'm in the chair if anybody wants owt in the next ten minutes .

No to Aldi tea, in those cutprice Aldi Tea fields

You want your tea grown in the best of Yorkshire Tea Fields Of Gold

How much tea in an average pot? Not like a tea shop tiny pot but a home pot.

My parents always have Yorkshire tea. They seem to frown upon other tea. Well, they eye our Aldi tea with suspicion

Weezol if it's Yorkshire tea you're after do you by any chance know the Otley caff (down by the river? much frequented by cyclists and climbers). It serves its tea in pint mugs.

I hereby propose a motion that the Bluestocking should definitely sell tea by the pint.

Well of course Weezol
Though a pint of tea.....hmm.....
Hope your headache shifts ASAP.

Please may I have a pint of Yorkshire tea, milk no sugar? I would like to sit at the small round table in the softly lit corner, and rest my forehead on the smooth, cool oak top until my stress headache subsides.

FermatsTheorem that thread is horrifying

The mods have a new MO - deplatforming by exile - on this occasion to stationery street. So we still get punished for being targeted by reporting …...

They moved a thread to the Stationery Cupboard - good to see they have a sense of humour!

Have to say I was astonished at the accuracy of Jean H's phophecy on the 'teach me about about feminism ladies' thread, where she said that men, when they enter a female enviroment, divide the women and that the need to cater to men's needs becomes v obvious very quickly

it's the MO of all abusers - divide and conquer - cause dissent, play favourites - the politicians have it off to a fine art.

What podcast do you like Puur

Well spotted! Hope the walk clears a bit of stress out...

Top three thread in currently in FWR were started by bio males, all talking about themselves

I can be arsed with it.

Going to go for a big walk with the dug. Anyone have any good podcast - getting a bit bored with my current list. Nothing to do with trans issues please, fucking had enough for now.

Hitting the wine early tonight. I'm crabbit as fuck today.

No, he's ok now woman. I couldn't hold up under my own issues and his. We've worked it out now.

Yes, that thread is awful, and I don't think OP has come back.

Pickle, I'm hoping you mean exH...?

I had a lovely psych who asked why I felt the need to protect people from my anger. It had never occurred to me it was ok to be angry.

It's awful when the psychs get it wrong- you are in no position to defend yourself.

being trained from an early age not to express anger, even when they're being shat on and anger would be a perfectly reasonable response.

A psychiatrist would call it "unreasonable anger".

Yup pickle I remember my sister being given antidepressants when what her GP should have said was LT (violent, abusive) B. I've also thought for years that a lot of women's mental health problems come from being powerless and shat on in a sexist society, and from being trained from an early age not to express anger, even when they're being shat on and anger would be a perfectly reasonable response.

Argh, horrid thread in relationships - a woman has been raped by her husband (still in pain after surgery to repair birth injuries, said stop, he insisted on "finishing") and the thread is fucking mobbed with Stepford wife rape apologists. It's like wave after wave of zombies in a horror movie. I've never seen so many in one place. Time was when MN wouldn't have put up with that sort of shit.

I'm convinced a lot of women are on antidepressants because their partners should be! Dealing with my DH finished me off!
