I've nicked a title, opened the door, dusted off the bar.

Come in and drown your sorrows, celebrate or just hang out in good company.

Droops soothing lovely home made quilt and crochet throw over recumbent snoozing

Belatedly, thank you. Best night's sleep I've had in a while.

Toast, pastries, and bits and pieces available. I finished the previous jug but I'll put up some more coffee before I leave.

In the [sort of] spirit of mn and inspired by parenting advice - not in a GOOD way, never fear - try modelling bad-person behaviour for your currently ghastly child. Their hair might turn quite mouse with shock, if you do it right.
Now, what you need is good strong cocoa and a decent Calvados and some sleep.

Are you nice?
( hint pass chocolate and the answer is of course)

AutumnCrocus · 14/07/2021 23:25

Please, someone say I'm a nice person? Cos I've had yet another day of having shite from wokescoldary DD.
And honest, I'm actually an ok wimm mother, adult human being.

I've just finished. I might have a ginger ale and refrain from whimpering somewhere. If I look drowsy, please drop a blanket over me.

Mine comes from Sainsbury. It's quite good, tbh. Speaking as someone who makes cider from our orchard!

dyslek · 14/07/2021 21:01

Ooh, some low alcohol Cider would go down nicely, thank youSmile

Make a change from Shandy or tapwater Grin

AutumnCrocus · 14/07/2021 20:48

SB very good news!
More batshit wokescold stuff. Sigh.
I have some nice low alcohol cider, @dyslek

Cheers, wimms!

BlackeyedSusan · 14/07/2021 20:46

How's the wokescold today Autumn?

Do we need to buy you a double or a triple?

MaudTheInvincible · 14/07/2021 19:39

Well, well, well. That statement was an interesting read. 👀

I'll have a glass of white wine since I'm here. Cheers all!

dyslek · 14/07/2021 19:31

I dont mind being the bouncer. I'll use my wit and logic (foul mouth Grin) to keep the undesirables out.

mollythemeerkat · 14/07/2021 19:27

Just gave a little cheer when I heard SB had resigned - she is definitely banned from this watering hole Dyslek

dyslek · 14/07/2021 19:24

Oh yeah, and Sian Berry is fucking banned.

dyslek · 14/07/2021 19:23

Im on the waggon atm, think I might try to order a plowmans lunch and a sparkling water.

dyslek · 14/07/2021 19:22

@Keepemguessing

My DN despairs of me because I don't believe that she is actually a man, despite hormones and a double mastectomy. And I won't even pretend, beyond using her new name.
Sorry to hear that, that must be really tough. At least with kids you can hope they will grow up. Dont let it shake your sense of reality. Stay strong. Flowers
theThreeofWeevils · 14/07/2021 19:19

Turned, whatever you do, keep those fabulous patches out of grazing reach of the camel. Get extra crisps for distraction purposes, perhaps.

Turned · 14/07/2021 19:14

Popping in with Flowers for autumncrocus, keepemguessing, dyslek and anyone else who would like some.

My Jess patches arrived today. They are gorgeous. I shall be in the beer garden with lager, crisps and the camel.

midgemagneto · 14/07/2021 17:20

I have changed my mind
I think I could be capable of violence

I am pretty sure I would stick my tongue out , stick my fingers in my ears and yell
"Who's a silly bully"

Was trying to write silly billy ...,

Take heart wimms. Every so often a generation of young uns pushes harder than the few previous ones. In fact to find an equivalence in aggression towards oldies/establishment, I think you have to go back to the mid 60's. We all grew up and although 'My Generation' still rings in my ears now and again, most of us re-established our relationships, even horrendous revolutionaries like me (and plenty of you). Don't forget, yer gals will need you, at some point, even though it will stick in their craw for a while.

Enjoy the peace, the hateful bastards will be back wanting mum comfort before too long Grin

AutumnCrocus · 14/07/2021 01:20

Wine, please. All the wine!

theThreeofWeevils · 13/07/2021 23:48

Get more sense out of the camel. But less curry
I imagine one could get quite a lot of curry out of a camel, actually. Woe betide anyone who tries, mind. Ours is a Friend camel, not an eating camel.
Gin to all those blessed afflicted with tiresome offspring. And to the thirsty. And...
Oh, just Gin all round.

BlackeyedSusan · 13/07/2021 23:11

Ds is not one of us. Rather too much influence from ex unfortunately.
