AIBU Books Game Part Eight

[ElephantsAndMiasmas]

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?

Bit of both tbh... I don't really get it if I'm honest with you.

Are you both very young?

Soooo...

What kind of things are you doing for him then? And did he ask you to do them? If so YANBU and he is an ungrateful swine IMO.

...quite young I suppose, but she is still babyish, always going on about the lovely roses etc, I feel I've outgrown her recently. I like hanging out with the other boys now...

he doesn't have to ask does he? I love him. It's a bit of a one way street that though. Mostly I cook nce stews and try to cheer him up. I'd do more if he'd let me...

You're a boy then elephants?

Hello pogleswood!

This is a very friendly place and no mistake.

Whee, Pogle, almost a full raft!

I am seriously impressed at you, llandb, you've only just had Sam and already AIBU Books-ing. What a literary heritage lies ahead of him with all of us to point the way, poor mite.

And now, umm, NIMCP! I find that's probably the most useful abbreviation of all on this thread, Unruly. I certainly use it enough.

I'm pretty sure we haven't covered this particular hair sacrificer before. I was so delighted to come across it.

...But I adore working. I never enjoyed all that pomp and stuffiness. And nobody made me donate my hair for the wig. I just felt it was artistically necessary...

Can't remember that much about the book I'm thinking of - are you Fevvers?

Is it just me,or has the middle of my post saying many congrats to llandb on baby Sam's arrival (and any chance of seeing a piccie at some point!) gone?
If so,congratulations llandb !
Other bits of the post seem to be coming and going as well - weird....

The stew sounds as if it might be significant,Unruly?
MCP,again.....

Oh I do make a nice stew. A bit of rabbit, some herbs...

You're not Fevvers are you? She dives from a hugh board into a shallow pool.

A high board natch.

Ah, might your friend be a bit too weighed down by his quest to appreciate your kindness and devotion, Unruly?

Pogle, I can see your post so I fear it's your own personal gremlin. I hope it doesn't mean you're about to disappear!

...Fevvers! No, it's pretty but it isn't the sort of name they give princesses in Austria...

Elephants, NIMCP!

Yes he is Moomin. And my homoerotic urges are going mostly unremarked too. Never mind - back to Hobbiton and marry a nice girl and never speak again of what happened on the mountain.

Austria eh?

you sound very eva ibbotson, NI on book though...

ahahahahahahahhaha brilliant, Unruly!!!!

and it's coneys, please.

I thought the stew sounded familiar!

Yes,I was thinking Eve Ibbottson as well,Elephants...

Unruly, you scamp! I'll never be able to read LOTR again without thinking Brokeback Mountain!

Elephants, Pogle, there's a very good reason for you thinking Eva Ibbotson...

O k! I hear the siren call of Google...

AIBU to take him away from her?

Do you know I had no idea that she wrote Which Witch until just now (when, God help me, I turned to google for solace).

It's just that one chapter Moomin, that speaks of the love of one hobbit for another... Er...and the elves...

Does he want to leave her? Is it a new desire on your part or has it been brewing?

Evening all! Hello UnrulySun (love the name) - and congratulations llandb on Sam Booklet. Hope you're recovering ok and letting DH do all the work while you make a welcome return to AIBU Books regain your strength.

Pointless will return for seasonal festivities when we decide if he/she is a boy or a girl . He/she isn't so fond of Easter, but Christmas is ok as it's only treacherous for turkeys.

NIMCP!

So how are we going to decide about Pointless then? A vote? Ultrasound scans?

Unrulysun,I think you fit in well here...but that might not be something you want to hear!

...yes,actually he does want to leave her,she is a very controlling person - and then there's the baby situation...

Many thanks CJ - love your monicker right back.

Definitely NIMCP.

Has this been going for years? It's a very excellent idea. :)

Awwwwwwww Pogleswood thanks! Y'all are book people. Book people are good people IMHO (except maybe the Red book...and Mein Kampf)

CJ! What have you done with Pointless?! What will Treacle say when she returns from the wilds? How can we have a Nativity without a lamb?

I think Pointless is female. That's why she's on Mumsnet. Now can we have her back, pretty please, because it's cold here?

Unruly, we've been running with various players and some diehard addicts since April 2009, but it's evolved a bit and we've grown a lot more stingy with clues than we used to be! In the early days we'd give the whole plot away in one go, but that used up the books too quickly.

NIMCP on Pogle's and Elephants' and does someone want to rescue my Austrian princess from obscurity?
