Reserved. Train chocka. AIBU to ask her to move?

They may be a bit evil but they put on a great spread. When we were kids we used to go for tea every so often in a convent. It was the best thing ever, gluttony central. We used to get Haagen Dazs, mountains of cakes and biscuits, fizzy drinks, chocolates. Yes, the good times rolled in my great aunt's convent.

I like the bad habit joke Grin

Just say excuse me sister!

liquidstateisonthemulled · 13/02/2015 17:14

Anglican or Catholic? not that it matters religion wise but I know a tiny Anglican nun and she is lovely and can be tempted out of the seat with cake.

FatherReboolaConundrum · 13/02/2015 17:15

Did you do when you saw them?

Was there a reserved sign on the seat?

ShelaghTurner · 13/02/2015 17:19

Nuns are cool. Leave her be!

Szeli · 13/02/2015 17:19

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 13/02/2015 17:19

I was just thinking awww, nuns, let her be

then I remembered that horrid one in Philomena

tell her to budge up

BuzzardBird · 13/02/2015 17:19

...or What is black and white and red all over?

An embarrassed nun realising she sat in my seat.

squoosh · 13/02/2015 17:19

The nuns on Call the Midwife are Anglican nuns.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 13/02/2015 17:20

What would Thomas Cromwell do?

Justmuddlingalong · 13/02/2015 17:20

Two nuns are sitting in a train carriage on the way to London. A man enters the carriage and exposes himself.
One of the nuns faints, the other had a stroke.

SaucyJack · 13/02/2015 17:21

She's reserved herself a seat in heaven..... not on the 16.10 to Victoria. Tell her to move.

squoosh · 13/02/2015 17:23

Thomas would lean over and whisper ever so quietly 'your majesty would think more favourably of you if you moved immediately'.

TheSpottedZebra · 13/02/2015 17:24

Ha, Justmuddling.

I was taught by nuns, and we went on a trip to London, from The Sticks. The best bit was when we were sat in a park, and a man came up and wanted at us all. A few nuns looked horrified, but 2 of them laughed soooooo much and one wet herself laughing and it's oddly a really nice memory.

TheSpottedZebra · 13/02/2015 17:24

Wanted? WANKED. He wanked.

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 13/02/2015 17:27

TC would get his heavies to frisk her and then manhandle her roughly from her seat

just sayin

squoosh · 13/02/2015 17:28

He would not! He look into the middle distance and sigh a bit.

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 13/02/2015 17:28

it's oddly a really nice memory.

ROAR

squoosh · 13/02/2015 17:29

Love the nice wanky memory! Teenage girls, a few nuns and a flasher. A proper Hallmark moment.

HairyOrk · 13/02/2015 17:30

This is great. I'm buying a nun outfit and am going to do all manner of antisocial things in public as clearly no one will stop me! A whole table and 4 chairs to myself in a busy cafe... bliss

Allalonenow · 13/02/2015 17:32

TG would take off his hat and bow slightly, before stuffing her in the Tower for taking his seat.

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 13/02/2015 17:32

Ooo a nun thread Grin

I was taught by nuns so I'd be in a quandary whether to chuck her or do a Fr Jack - thanks for fab link btw FatherReboolaConundrum Grin

not at all helpful to OP's predicament

Justmuddlingalong · 13/02/2015 17:32

Zebra. I always think of nuns when I see the advert for nivea black/white deodorant Hmm
