AIBU Books Game Part Eight

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?

...how many sons? oooh, lots. But only two of them by the woman I really love. So you think IABU - it's just a coat not even Boden how bad can it be?

I'm in Pokhara at the moment, and have discovered a second-hand bookshop with a stash of Lord Peter Wimsey novels so am happily reading my way through those Smile

Think "thrown into a pit and sold into slavery" Elephants - is that really what you want for your boy? But it'd be character forming...

I will have to go and google Pokhara,Treacle! How about a Peter Wimsey AIBU then - you could make it really obscure as we have a head start....

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 18/11/2010 16:58

Wowee treacle that sounds great! Up a mountain eh?

Slavery you say Shock. Maybe I'd better shell out for 12 then!

OTOH Elephants, if I recall correctly, your favoured DS might end up at Pharaoh's right hand side.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 18/11/2010 17:13

Ah right ho LLKH - think the little rascal had a dream like that once

Oops,had forgotten for a moment there that I'm meant to be doing an AIBU....

...when I went off to fight,I'd hoped we'd be able to live as ourselves again.If only I could get the house back...

I think you probably need goats rather than the credit card,Elephants.Or sheep,maybe...

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 19/11/2010 14:41

NIMCP Pogle! (no idea, more clues please)

I like the idea of a credit car, especially a wooden one Grin

AIBU to want to have a strong word with DP?

OP posts:
CJCregg · 23/11/2010 12:33

Oh dear, Elephants, what has he done now?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 23/11/2010 12:39

...well he seems to think I have some kind of ambition to be a smallholder...

OP posts:
CJCregg · 23/11/2010 12:42

You're not a pioneering type, are you?

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 23/11/2010 12:52

Oh, I couldn't possibly, CJ

Seriously need to go and make cake now :)

...No I'm not pioneering at all, I'm just minding my own business. It was funny at first...

OP posts:
CJCregg · 23/11/2010 13:01

Has he bought you some livestock? I have to say I would not be thrilled if DP did that to me ...

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 23/11/2010 13:11

...not just some, LOADS. I notice he hasn't been round recently either. Do you think He's Just Not That Into Me?

OP posts:
CJCregg · 23/11/2010 14:12

Could be ... but I'm going to need MCP as I can't really judge!

Poledra · 23/11/2010 14:13

Elephants, MCP - ) have the feeling I know this but need more info.

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 23/11/2010 14:18

not going to guess then, Pol?

At least I've got a few farmworkers along to help with this lot now...

OP posts:
Poledra · 23/11/2010 15:02

Ach it's one of those that I can't actually guess yet - it's tickling at the back of my mind.

Unless we've gone all Old Testament again and you're Emzara??

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 23/11/2010 15:05
