Meredith Brooks "bitch" anyone?

Nothing against Shania Twain, but if there's a banned list, "man, I feel like a woman" should be on it.

Hope no one has brought their alcohol from Ocado! WineGin

FloralBunting · 30/09/2018 22:13

Evenin' all.

Bloody, bloody awful time IRL, and I'm enjoying the opportunity to escape for a few minutes during the day with women who are intelligent and fearsome, funny and kind.

Great choice of music womaningreen , maybe we can follow it up with some more Annie Lennox. 1984 seems appropriate!

Womaningreen · 30/09/2018 21:44

It's great to see you, delurkers Smile

HumberElla · 30/09/2018 21:36

Hello, heard the music was on so thought I’d pop by and see if there were any other recent FWR de lurkers in? It was great to get a sense of how many of us there really might be out there.
What a week!

Womaningreen · 30/09/2018 21:28

I fancy a Prosecco!

Jukebox request....Sisters are doin it for themselves....oh yes we are

bluetitsaretits · 30/09/2018 21:24

Have a G&T from me, vicky. Hot toddy is a great idea tricky -it's freezing here too.

It's been a rough weekend but mumsnet has really cheered me up and I feel like celebrating.

So many women from all walks of life coming together and speaking up.
WineGinFlowers to you all!

TheTrickyWitch · 30/09/2018 21:11

I have also been finding the lurkers threads very inspiring. Hence delurking myself!

TheTrickyWitch · 30/09/2018 21:10

Make mine a hot toddy as DD has just passed on her cold and it's feeling chilly up north. Brew

VickyEadie · 30/09/2018 21:00

I'm off the booze most of the time at the moment, but will take a virtual gin and tonic, if anyone's making one.

bluetitsaretits · 30/09/2018 20:55

Don't want be presumptuous, but may I turn on the lights, take the little towels off the pumps and plug in the jukebox?
Am in need of a cider and would like to buy sophoclesthefox a drink. You proper choked me up today with that Lord of the Rings analogy. And I've been trying so hard to be less emotional lol!

Womaningreen · 29/09/2018 19:13

Yes, today was nice too, hope it continues. Autumn cyclamen in the park, lovely sunsets.

I do some creative writing so most of my Twitter contacts come from that. It's mostly a lot of fun for me but last night I was looking at the Leeds thing and argh....

I find social media really helpful, partly because of being an introvert and partly because of spending a lot of time at elderly mum's house, which can be lonely in a way.

SophoclesTheFox · 29/09/2018 18:23

there's been some really warm afternoon sun in London, getting to about 20, 21 outside. I think the last of that is today though

It's still been lovely today - have spent most of it out in the park, and latterly in the beer garden. It's got that lovely autumnal feeling, but still with some nice sunshine - bliss Grin

I don't twit either, errol, and I dip in and out of facebook. I have to limit time and engagement on social media, I just don't find it's good for me.

ErrolTheDragon · 29/09/2018 18:05

I don't twit or FB. MN is more than enough - I sometimes need to go cold turkey even from here. I'm going on holiday soon, which sometimes kicks off a period of abstinence.

QuentinWinters · 29/09/2018 17:57

I hate Twitter. Bunch of weirdos on there. I don't understand how transgender women posting videos of their erect penis is ok but woman = adult human female is not

Womaningreen · 29/09/2018 11:29

no one for coffee?

I'm thinking I need a Twitter break for at least a week. Can you lovely pubgoers help me keep off it? I like my online chat Smile

I'm perilously close to saying something that might upset someone (though admitted if "woman = adult human female" is upsetting then it's a hard line to stay behind).

Quentin, I think having seasonal ID is a good. Maybe I should change to WomaninAutumnalColours Grin

ErrolTheDragon · 28/09/2018 08:47

I need to get back into the habit of listening to R4 now DD isn't studying in the room above the kitchen ... no, Isay, what was it about?

ISaySteadyOn · 28/09/2018 07:01

It is. Leaves are blowing abput and colour changing.

Did anyone hear the sequence about widows and food on Woman's Hour yesterday? It was fascinating.

QuentinWinters · 27/09/2018 23:07

Also....It might not be winter but winter is definitely coming....

QuentinWinters · 27/09/2018 23:07

I had to stop using my old account. Issues with my phone being hacked. I think. But I didn't want to NC as I'm quite attached to Quentin and I hate it when I can't spot my friends after an NC

Womaningreen · 27/09/2018 11:00

Quentin, it's not winter yet...hopefully....!

QuentinWinters · 27/09/2018 10:52

Well done dunker! Gin

Womaningreen · 27/09/2018 09:12

out for drinks with a newish friend last night

tried to raise the issue of the billboard at the Labour Party conference. He was a bit confused, but when I explained he said "I'm sure the intentions started out good - I mean, gay people in the army used to be a problem".

so tired of that analogy.
