Post an AIBU from the point of view of a fictional character (from novels/nursery rhymes/plays etc) and everyone tries to guess the book and/or the character.

Everyone welcome to play/time-waste as much or as little as they please :)

AIBU to be protective of my DD?

Driving horses, CJ? Or a car?

...Well, I think she should like me, but she bears me a bit of a grudge from the past...

PoledrathePissedOffFairy · 11/02/2011 22:18

Well, hel-air there ladies! Long time no see.

Also, long time inadequate sleep, so no ideas about your AIBUs. I did think CJ might be a tortoise, but I don't remember him having access to a vehicle in order to beat the hare.........

steamedtreaclesponge · 11/02/2011 22:41

Hellair there Pol! Loving the name change Grin

I was going to ask "What have you found" Elephants,but I think that may be pretty much asking "so,tell us who you are then!"

So,instead,MCP!

I'm wondering if you used to have a technology obsessed boyfriend,CJ?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 12/02/2011 16:51

Oh god I've forgotten what mine is again!

Honestly! An attack of Friday night induced amnesia,eh? Grin

CJCregg · 14/02/2011 09:32

No chariot, no techy boyfriend (what was that?!) - but driving horses, yes Grin.

Elephants, is it your memory you've lost?

PoledrathePissedOffFairy · 14/02/2011 10:23

I seem to recall (in the dim and distant past) a Georgette Heyer novel in which carriage racing featured - are you a Regency buck, CJ?

PoledrathePissedOffFairy · 14/02/2011 10:31

PS name change came about from a thread on the fecking Rainbow fairies which morphed into the Rainbow Fairies Who Didn't Make It. I was tempted by Mellow the Marijuana Fairy.......................

CJCregg · 14/02/2011 10:34

Pol, you are clever! I am the beautiful and dashing Judith Taverner Grin

Please would you link to the Rainbow Fairies thread? I am wading through them with DD and slowly losing the will to live - a piss-take thread is just what I need to redress the balance.

CJCregg · 14/02/2011 10:36

Don't worry, I've found it!

CJCregg · 14/02/2011 10:40

Loving 'Chardonnay the Chav Fairy' Grin

steamedtreaclesponge · 14/02/2011 20:32

Bah - pipped to the post by Poledra!

...I just can't believe she still refuses to speak to me. And after I saved her life, too...

PoledrathePissedOffFairy · 14/02/2011 21:51

Had she got lovely red hair and a temper to match, Treacle?

steamedtreaclesponge · 14/02/2011 22:54

She does indeed! Although I think it might be safer to refer to it as auburn Wink

PoledrathePissedOffFairy · 14/02/2011 22:57

OK, so you are the delectable Gilbert, Treacle - when did you save her life?

steamedtreaclesponge · 15/02/2011 07:59

When she was being the Lady of Shalott and the boat started sinking...

Have just been re-reading this on my Kindle, which has now broken Sad

At least books never break!

Unrulysun · 17/02/2011 13:57

Hello - I lost you all for a while there, I think I might have accidentally hidden the raft. :(

Zanzibar is it? Marvellous. What is on the go? Elephants has forgotten hers, does Treacle have one?

AIBU to think one man can be an island?

steamedtreaclesponge · 17/02/2011 14:28

Unruly! Hello!

No, I finished mine. So...

AIBU to kill this man?

And Unruly - is he your DH? Or are you the island?

Unrulysun · 17/02/2011 17:10

Awwwww Treacle - fantastic!

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 18/02/2011 08:26

Hello my lovely raft-mates. Sorry for being so totally clueless/idea-less this week! Have just moved to London for new job and am currently sleeping on a sofa, homeless, and with no books Shock :o

Ok ok ok

AIBU to wish everyone would leave me alone?

CJCregg · 18/02/2011 09:06

Poor Elephants ... Exciting about new job, dossing on sofas not so good.

Are you a sand fairy?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 18/02/2011 09:24

Thanks CJ, it is great to be here but hard to look smart dressing out of a suitcase!

...A sand fairy? What is that? We're more inland types. I am just fed up with this sexual harrassment, I never get a minute to myself it seems...
