AIBU in thinking that the IPOAT hall has transported to another dimension

[Minimammoth]

Where has it gone? Just as I was about to start sprucing it up for the jubilee and start tatting the bunting?

Lawks!

I just stumbled across Ms Entropy at the boat shed, quite in flagrante delicto with Higgs the Bosun. I knew they were close, but.....

Have we got a boat shed? Does that mean we have a boat? Can we tatt a map and some sails and go to somewhere warm and dry, I am in fear of dissolving.

It is only a modest boat shed and we have only a small dinghy with a red sail.

(I'm not sure how Rochester justifies continuing to employ Higgs. I think Ms Entropy may have Influenced him.)

Can I be Titty? Who'll be Susan and who'll be Cap'n Nancy?

Only one dinghy? Mmm, I shall get the Hall carpenter to fashion us a second one. Then I can be Cap'n Nancy (frets - she was a good egg? Memory foggy)

We need to bring bounteous supplies, tisanes and poultices and the travel still.

Excuse me now while I consult the carpenter. There are measurements and whittling matters to be discussed.

I'll be Susan then. I don't think I qualify for being Titty.

Ruth Nancy was definitely a Good Egg. As was Susan; she was a bit prissy, IIRC, but cooked all the pemmican.

I definitely don't qualify as Titty.

If we are going sailing can I bring the Captain? I will need something substantial to take my mind off the undulating horizon, and he absolutely has something substantial! (attempts saucy wriggle but gives up as heart isn't in it)

I missed saying goodbye to Miss Entropy, the Hall feels a bit sad and lonely at present. I think we may need to take an encursion to lift our spirits.

Worry not, I can be Titty enough for all of us.

Captain Flint?? Not what I would've had down as your type Lady Syb, but whatever floats your (house)boat.

The Hall can be quite lonesome at times. One would have expected more balls; surely 'tis the height of The Season?

Site Stuff appears to be the place where all the most entertaining activity occurs at the moment. Truly, 'tis a Nest of Vipers? and no mistake.

An excursion is most definitely called for. Come, let us ponder the tatted maps and choose a destination. The carpenter has fashioned us a lovely dinghy and there must be plenty of islands within sailing distance.

A brisk sail, a fire on the beach and some rum possets will lift our spirits no end.

Oh how lovely! Let us excurse away from these torrid and turbulent traumas

Tsk, Hully, that way madness lies, or for me at least, complete bamboozle-dom and baffledom.

I have ruled out this as a destination and am rather drawn to this beauty. We may see dolphins and porpoises and the shimmering sea will soothe our souls after the torrid turbulent dramas.

Oh yes, Fids, let us hie ourselves thence. Are we taking the orphans?

I like the look of that.

Let's pick up some new orphans. I'm bored of these

bored WITH

we musn't let our grammar slip. Standards. Tut.

Yes, I think we have worn out these orphans, they look quite thin and haggard. Obviously come of poor stock, we need us some aristocratic orphans.

The current lot are a bit weary so they could perhaps mind the Hall and clean the parapets while we are away.

How quickly could we find some new orphans? I do not want to miss the tide.

Sorry ladies. My grammar has deteriorated considerably since my recent visits to twitter

I need re-educating

Fear not, Jins, any visit to The Witter is bound to unsettle the most hardy Gel.

Aristocratic orphans? He has a noble cast. As does he. See how he labours over a pamphlet.

I am enjoying the baby names thread as I can rant about my vile real name without actually telling anyone what it was

Thank goodness for deed poll

Was it Hypotenusa-Mae Jins?

Chlamydia-Dire?

You are both right

Anyway I must leave the search for orphas in your hands as I have to transport DS1 from one place to another.

I wish you well in your search but have faith in you all

and that would be orphans

I need a new keyboard or a pair of nail clippers

This one is more nouveau riche than aristocratic, I fear he may have connections to trade, but he seems sturdy and has pretty eyes so I will bring him along anyway.

Will there be paddling? It looks quite warm so I trust we will be allowed to remove our corsets
