AIBU - Books part 2

[theyoungvisiter]

as you were ladies.

Goodness, TYV, you sound very Earnest about it all!

BTW, I agree about Wyndham's short stories. Some of them are sooo chilling!

Must go and unpack my shopping which has just been delivered.

jellycat - Denmark? More clues, please.

Seashells, Rosamund Pilcher, TYV.

AIBU to be a bit pissed off with my husband? He's been gadding around the world for years, but lately he's been getting odder and odder. First it was problems with his sight - thinking things were all out of proportion. Now the latest is he no longer fancies me - instead he's moved out and is sleeping in the stable .

oo blimey, that's a bit obscure! I've heard of it but never read it.

When we returned from Denmark we went to his bungalow at Bourne End, where I lounged around in a tarty negligee eating chocolates.

yes, need a clue I think Jellycat, I am a bit stumped too. Lipstick?!

has he also got an inexplicable prejudice against a popular search engine, tyv?

I would be particularly cautious about starting any fires; the consequences could be peculiarly disgusting

rofl cory! I was thinking "eh? what's google got to do with it?" before the penny dropped!

Yes, give the girl a gold star.

AIBU in just wanting to be left alone to enjoy my quiet life? Sure, I don't get out much, but I like to take things easy. None of this rushing around from skating party to dachas that all my contemporaries think is so much fun. Me, my sofa, and a good book. Maybe the odd visitor. Its enough for me!

Jellycat, do you have eyes of philanderer's blue and a photograhic memory?

no! I'm lost re bourne end and denmark and google....

what about balloonslayer's lachrymose DD?

Oblomov, salome?

No, I mean, eek, TYV, dont get yours. Denmark still extant?

I'm lost with Bourne End too.

Google was me being silly, Cory was meaning Yahoo - Gulliver's Travels.

Photographic, that should be. And you're an amoral little liar with no pity for old ladies.

Coreee! youse on fire girl!

Moomin, yes I do, so I thought it would be cool to blame my lengthy absence from home on a couple of odd ladies who live in a big house in the country. But that country lawyer and his nephew sussed me out

And, Jellycat, it was a very sad day when you saw The Franchise from the top of a bus before embarking on your Affair.

Got yahoo (too damn slow, though) - also stuck on Bourne End/Denmark/lipstick.

And the lachrymose DD and the pirate captain.

ooo well DONE Moomin! I love that book but had completely forgotten about where the girl went!

Good argument for having net curtains in your windows, is the Franchise Affair

AIBU to think my recently dead mother could have told me she'd had an affair with a dishy photographer?

OK not really a pirate. But you could give his namesake to a budgie.

And my intended has hair like snakes. As fallen women by this author are prone to have...
