Izal medicated, only available in single rolls I believe.
You didnt buy it in giant bogoff packs.

Ahh the memories.
Imagine buying a roll now and putting it the family bathroom.

I think there's life life in the old girl yet.

Spasm is out back cleaning the pipes, the sausage rolls are arriving today and he's got the Izal Medicated on order.

We'll be shipshape in no time.

I feel a pub crawl may be in order

We did one in our village checking the quality of the chips (children) and lager (dh and i)

We had forms to fill in for the chips and everything

Somerville Arms opening in Badley Fuckitt you say?

Excellent news, just in time for the weekend.

Harumphharagh · 05/04/2019 13:21

Is this a code name? I love Somerville!

RepealTheGRA · 05/04/2019 13:20

Oooh I wondered where the pub had gone.

ErrolTheDragon · 05/04/2019 12:40

I’m hearing reports that an alternative establishment, The Somerville Arms, might be opening it’s doors in Badley Fuckitt, so I thought I’d just come and wipe the dust down in here.

Been having a giggle at their twitter myself, good to see them getting so much support!

silentcrow · 11/01/2019 11:49

@harlequinpub are also on Twitter and worth a follow - whoever runs the account has a good sense of humour.

HumberElla · 11/01/2019 11:30

Been quiet round here of late - dry January?!
Anyway, In view of the current flak a certain pub is getting for letting women talk about their points of view, I wondered if we should show some support to female friendly pubs this year?
Bluestocking twinning scheme?
Bluestocking on tour?
Bluestocking guest pub of the month?
If you’re travelling to Sheffield, or live nearby, can I suggest The Harlequin for starters.

In amidst all the general gloom, something to make you wonder if someone's slipped a little something into your hot fruit Winter Warmer:

Suzan Visser is a Dutch artist who also likes to put hats on her birds. The blurb says ‘Reality is transformed as if by magic into a new enchanted reality’ ok we can go with that.

Poor Elly! She needs to give that dragon a good hose down. Love the medieval themed advent calendar.
I need some Vit C - tot of sloe gin perhaps?

ErrolTheDragon · 04/12/2018 13:51

OMG, the look on STB-mummy elephants face!ShockGrin

arranbubonicplague · 04/12/2018 13:45

Dropping in for a winter warmer (maybe a dark red fruit juice heated with spices) and to share this medieval advent calendar from which I've learned that elephants give birth in water to avoid dragons:

Insight has landed safely on Mars!!!

I may be a deadly pestilence but I can still admire science (ref. to Alex Sharpe likening GC feminists to bubonic plague on Woman's Hour for those who've missed today's discussions).

UpstartCrow · 26/11/2018 00:11

The transcript is finished, I'm just trying to work out how to share it.

arranfan · 26/11/2018 00:05

I must remember to tune in for the Minutes of Terror tomorrow for the trip to Mars.

In other news, really sorry that I missed the One Law for All event in London. There are so many issues affecting women at present.

SmileI liked that!

As we stand round, imbibing our preferred libations, take a moment to read through this, and marvel at the beautiful, fragile, search for knowledge (Insight trip to Mars):

I'm so pleased that she is dong well.

When I toured the Houses of Parliament I touched the feet of the statue of Clement Atlee in gratitude. I mourn the post-war consensus.

BettyDuMonde · 17/11/2018 10:36

We’re beyond lucky to have such a wonderful NHS! Recovery will be a long round but everyday is better than the one before 💙

YetAnotherSpartacus · 17/11/2018 10:33

Holy Fuck. I'm so sorry. Wishing your DD all the very best.

BettyDuMonde · 17/11/2018 10:29

Thanks everyone!

Spartacus it kicked off the night of Posie’s event in Manchester - I couldn’t use my ticket because my daughter (6) was in A&E with a virus that wouldn’t go away.

By Sunday night she was in intensive care - the virus had kicked off a life threatening autoimmune response, it’s called haemophagocytic lympohistiocytosis. It’s not cancer but the treatments are the same (inc chemo and bone marrow transplants). It’s fatal in around 40% of cases and is always fatal if untreated - lucky I didn’t decide to go to the talk and take her in in the morning instead! Shock
