Ye Olde Worlde Mumsnette

[Sharrilanda]

Share some historical MN dilemmas and stories.
What kind of posts do you think we would be reading if MN was around in the good old days of yore?

It's lovely. The galleon in full sail perched on your head before you adopted this new style was un petit ...much.

Oh I must get in touch….you can never have enough bling in my opinion 😘

Goode ladies, I be verily gladdeth to see thou all again!
As tis a Saturday nighte, which of thou art free to meet at The Younge Oak Tavern by the Cross roads down yonder for some serious quaffing of mead and some high nonny nonnigans?

Or you can pop over to my place?

If you’re near Paris I’ve got a pretty nice gaff on the outskirts and plenty of 🍾 and 🍰 for all!

p.s. dress codes apply
p.p.s. Titles required

It has unto my ears that the innkeeper dost serve a fine malmsey wine. I will don my finest Wimple and mine cote and meet you at Squire McDonald's eatinge place afore we saunter down to the inne.
I fear that wanton woman from the Manor will cavort on the tables and will entreat us to sing for our supper.

Think I’ll pass….

I am not singing for ye supper after the hey nonny no of laste tyme.
I truste ye hostelry hath stocked up on ye bits of cauldroned pig skinne and slices of new fangled potatoes. I hear Sir Gary of Linnecar hath delivered some.

Aye or Bee? Too much for a nighte on the towne?

Both are beautiful. Be they from New Looke?

Both are beautiful. Be they from New Looke?

Aye tis from John of Lewis and Bee was delivered by the carter for Amazone.

Methinks thy wouldst be useful for carrying thy empty tankards when mine handes have leprosy.

Where is thou all?

I be here already...

(Spot myne Resteth Bytche Face 😆)

Mistress Toasty, I voteth for Bee!
Thee'll look verily winsome in that head dress indeedeth!

Nice panelling @Sharrilanda ! Didst thou go forth to B and Q ?

What apparel! What finery! Verily John of Lewis hath outdone himself with your vestments.
I be too ashamed to join thee in my hopsack outfit with hemp trimmings.

An hopsack, forsooth? Hark at thou with thy la di dah lady of two manors ways. I wager thou cavil at thy mere subsistence of five and twenty score of groats each quarter!

Has anyone seen @Sharrilanda ? I was having speech with yon innkeeper and I saw her go outside with a younge stable lad...

Hast thou tried the stable?

Good morrow, gentle ladies, it is indeed a pleasure to consorte again with wonne and all!
I have long been wishing to inquire, am I set apart from reason when I insiste that mynne husband remove his bootes that are mired in clod and shite when he comes home of a night and enters our hovel?
He in turn will exclaim that since the flores are themselves made of mudde, that I am being too exacting in this matter.
I know not how to rejoin, (apart from mayhap placing the ordure in his hatte)

LYP

(Leave ye pygge)

I should serve the ordure up to him for his supper and telle him that it is of the same stuffe as his plattern - just the plattern is in a different state of being.

Ye alchemists will back you up on altered states. Verily, I know that their discoveries are being viewed with much suspicion by ye Church but I believe they have much to offer a moderne, forward-thinking matron (although, I must admit that I am not yette convinced by ye Philosopher's Stone. Nicolas Flamel let me see it in return for a glimpse down mine bodice but I have to say, it just looked like an olde rock to me).

@Giggorata but the mudde in thine dwelling place is "naice mudde ". Put some rushes on the floore to keepe thy toes warme.
About yester eve . ..I have no memory of returning to mine humble home. Didst I act the fool?

Wouldst that the rest of us had no memory of you last eve either....

Perchance my meade was spike-d.
