Does anybody miss Birdie Friend?

[BirdieFriendReturns]

The lovable little scamp...

😆

Personally I think the three year old will be found to be the criminal mastermind behind it all. If you digitally enhance the reflection on Birdie Friend’s surface in the hostage photo, it will show the three year old stroking a Persian cat and chomping a cigar, surrounded by masked henchmen.

Birdie Friend is enjoying the newspaper.

Thanks for that!

How are you and DS today?

DS cried when I took BF from him for the photo. He said BF doesn’t look people looking at him. He’s got him in his hand now and is whispering away with him. I found them both hiding in the larder earlier.

Okay I'm hooked. Admittedly have read the thread through my fingers. Next I'll be peeking round from behind the sofa

I'm all ears BF!

DS wanted a snack. “Hummus please mummy.” Sadly Waitrose had no hummus so DS got some flaky, buttery croissant (homemade) with some Bonne Maman apricot preserve. BF was dunked in the preserve and DS then licked it off.

“BF says Daddy is going to war soon mummy AND HE’S NEVER COMING BACK! He’s going to sea and he’ll be at the bottom of the ocean.”

Considering DH last had a sea draft in 2012, I’m not sure how likely that is.

Bloody hell. Where is DH now?

Is BF dishwasher proof? Is it worth finding out?

DH is in the study playing a silly computer game. I told him what DS said and he rolled his eyes.

ItsABitOfAShitFightMate - it’s proving hard to entice BF away from DS at the moment to dishwasher him. Knowing BF, he’ll make the dishwasher break and flood the kitchen. And BF will be unharmed yet sparkling clean.

Hurrah! Thought it was you from piecing other bits of info together round and about. So, just a couple of questions so far....

1. Please tell me Birdie Friend hasn't predicted floods as well. (His prediction about your DH.) Plagues of locusts, pestilence, and famine (aka the Great Loo Roll Shortage of 2020 and, far far worse, the Temporary Crisp Shortage) has been as much as we can take in this household. (Other member being a nurse we will swiftly not mention the fourth horseman for now if you don't mind.)

We do need to know if we need to get cracking on building an ark though as I'll need to get into the shed and assemble the remaining planks from the Wardrobe That Never Was as other half hadn't measured the doors properly. And this will involve me facing my fear of the frog who hopped in there two days ago and Has Not Been Seen Since. The older cat came out empty-pawed and disgusted. Plus the battery packs in the seat repellent need replacing at the minute.

1. I didn't see anything or anyone sitting in the chair but then I tend not to see things so much but sense or hear them. The other half sees them. And there's a lot of, er, things about at the moment, it seems. We live next to a sheltered housing complex which went bust and rehomed the residents literally a week before Lockdown. I couldn't understand why, when they'd all gone, we could still smell TCP in our bathroom and corridor until other half explained the personality of the particular resident who had lived there some time ago and who had regularly thrown things at our older (former rescue) cat. I've suggested he leave about three times now in various ways and have now called in the Big Guns for help. Let's just say that a couple of New Age and Catholic stores have done quite well out of us the last week or so. I don't think we've missed out any angels, symbols or incense but always willing to learn! So if BF has any ideas....

1. Would you be able to share the croissant recipe if it's from scratch? We've used the ones in the tin with varying success but never managed it from scratch.

Best of luck with the mundane situation and looking forward to hearing the future careers of Birdie Friend!

“ DS wanted a snack. “Hummus please mummy.” Sadly Waitrose had no hummus so DS got some flaky, buttery croissant (homemade) with some Bonne Maman apricot preserve. BF was dunked in the preserve and DS then licked it off.”

BF is very middle class 😆

I’d be waiting until Ds was asleep, taking Birdie prick aside for a little chat of the “listen hear, you evil cunt” variety, doing my best Phil Mitchell impression. Then I’d light a BBQ and burn him.

Listen here, even. BF has wound me up from afar.

*capers not careers

I've long been fascinated by accounts of children who have imaginary friends or who have spoken about families they lived with before the present day ones.

IF and it's a huge IF, and for the IF you have to think spirits exist, BF is possibly some sort of dead serviceman's spirit communicating to OP's son, then if asked, he might reveal his military ID number or even his name then records could be searched to see IF that tallied with a real person.
Do you think that may work @BirdieFriendReturns

Also, with all the doom and gloom predictions, IF BF really is as above, he may have died in traumatic circumstances and be in some state of shock, not knowing he's dead and trying (and failing) to frighten the adults into communicating with him.

Must admit, this and the first BF thread are some of the most interestingly strange threads I've read for a long time, many thanks BirdieFriendReturns

Give BF some non-Waitrose hummus or a plastic longlife croissant from a petrol-station shop with Asda jam and see if he spontaneously combusts?

Maybe the latest war & bottom of the sea prediction explains why BF reckoned this year was your last Valentines Day OP?

Why do i read this stuff at this hour btw, another night spent sleeping with the lights on!

:) @ Birdie Prick Connie222

So pleased you’re still here OP!

How long till baby sister should arrive?

I’m reassured by BF’s reference to the bird dying as even if the human race dies out from major pandemic or war the birds should still thrive?!

(Anyone back this up so I can continue in my reassurance? Otherwise I’m going on the Mulberry site and splurging my savings just to make the most of that fresh leather smell for the last of days)

My wee boy can see things i cant see. He speaks to the old man lady that lived in our house before we did. He said they are very nice. Had a reading done about 2yrs ago and the medium said that the couple were pleased i had made their home into my own and they liked hearing ds laughing and ddog woofing at him
