Yes sorry. I agree Errol. But the audacity of that t-shirt nearly put my blood-pressure through the roof.

ErrolTheDragon · 11/10/2018 08:18

Maybe best read that paper quietly with a few eye rolls over our coffee, don't want the pub to be at risk of a demolition order!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 11/10/2018 08:08

Wearing this t-shirt. But of course it was all about Lilith's hurty-feelz - and hate speech against women is inconsequential.

Something milder than an espresso today and I'll have it with a mushroom-filled pan roll, please.

RepealtheGRA · 11/10/2018 07:45

I somehow missed that one, just googled. The spelling of ‘Caoimhe’ makes my teeth itch.

ErrolTheDragon · 11/10/2018 07:22

A TW upset at being searched by a security bloke at an airport,reported in the press (wearing the most delightful t-shirt)

I'm popping in for my breakfast before I slog off to work. Who is Lilith Carrol?

Ereshkigal · 11/10/2018 01:23

It's a shame that you weren't able to enjoy your Erasure.

I had a couple of days off posting, but the batshittery is reaching epic proportions, and it's difficult to sit on my hands all the time without causing cramp.

So I was trying to listen to some Erasure on YouTube and feel a bit brighter, and DP has now taken over and is playing his crap. So I've come into the pub for a large Southern Comfort and coke and plenty of twenty pences for the jukebox...

The thread about Lilith Carroll has been removed from "in the News". Seems to be more often that threads are removed than not these days.

arranfan · 10/10/2018 08:37

Popping in for an espresso, a few smiles, shared eye rolls at the news and then departing, braced for the day.

Leaving a batch of fresh, assorted baked goods on the counter for anyone who needs them. Buckwheat and quince rolls, cherry debris Bakewell slice :) and some All Bran cake for those who prefer a less frivolous start to their day.

That is wonderful, Rebel.

Seeing the guardian reporting on...shock horror...men abusing self ID is a bit of a surprise Grin

Toddler tantrums or what!
When my nephew was 2 he went through a phase of grabbing stuff and running away shouting ' MINE'.

And they say they cannot understand why we can't just be 'nice'

Seen a fair few TRA types moaning about the transrational hashtag. Despite it making total sense, for transsexuals to be separating themselves from the batshit crazy misogynistic hate that the TRAs spout. Yet, they say we spout hate Hmm

bluetitsaretits · 09/10/2018 13:24

That's brilliant errol Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 09/10/2018 11:12

A quick coffee, while I put a poem which just came up on another (non FWR) thread on our chalkboard, if that's ok. There's probably other places which might like this.

DANGEROUS COATS
Someone clever once said
Women were not allowed pockets
In case they carried leaflets
To spread sedition
Which means unrest
To you & me
A grandiose word
For commonsense
Fairness
Kindness
Equality
So ladies, start sewing
Dangerous coats
Made of pockets & sedition

Just popping in to sit in the corner wearing my tinfoil hat and gently rocking.

arranfan · 08/10/2018 16:50

That would be a good rule!

Hitting the time of day when it's SM off, head down for uninterrupted work and surfacing later, possibly in need of a warm milk toddy equivalent and a spot of convivial conversation.

ErrolTheDragon · 08/10/2018 00:45

Does anyone else think that there should be a rule that no-one should be allowed to make their first post on FWR within an hour of midnight - in particular if some sort of text analytics could be used to determine their sex. Because such posters are almost invariably male and the threads always end up being deleted. Would save a lot of time.

Bedtime Brew, goodnight all.

arranfan · 07/10/2018 21:56

I'm planning a hot ginger. And a hot water bottle.

Just tottering in to say that I'm hacked off that Greater Manchester Police is firing such a warning shot in advance of the Filia conference there, 20-21 October.

Hope you're all snug in the pub's snug etc.

QuentinWinters · 07/10/2018 18:14

I've been at Cheltenham literature festival this weekend. May Beard was amazing and Susan Calman described herself as a radical lesbian feminist which I absolutely loved. She also said she was changing her stand up after watching Nanette, which I found very interesting. There was a thread on Nanette on here a while back but for those who missed it, it's well worth a watch.

ErrolTheDragon · 07/10/2018 17:38

Thankshope you recover soon, arranfan.

I guess there are some advantages to virtual cake after all!

HerRoyalFattyness · 07/10/2018 13:25

I need vodka. Ive seen some shite lately. Confused
