AIBU - Books part 2

[theyoungvisiter]

as you were ladies.

OOh CJ, is that another Alice we are talking about?

AIBU to con my milkman into lending me his clothes so I can impersonate him? After all I have no intention of delivering any milk to his customers: I've a train to catch!

re Franchise Affair pun!

Billy Liar? I've got Carb lethargy.

AIBU to think that the yew tree in my granny's garden might be moving?

Theyoungvisiter, I was thinking today about doing Gulliver's Travels (my favourite book) but couldn't think of a lead-in.

Missed the pun. Lethargy indeed.

BalloonSlayer - not an Alice (who were you thinking?)

I always felt sorry for his poor wife Balloonslayer - I thought she got a really crap deal!

CJ I was thinking about Behind The Scenes at the Museum.

Wasn't the woman at the start who ran off with the photographer called Alice?

oh dear, I need to go to bed, sssoooooooooo sleepy... (that's not a plot clue btw, that's really me)

Ooh, this one han't been done yet (I don't think)

I am used to roughing it and don't really have a permanent abode. However, when I pay to spend the night in a B&B, I don't really expect to share the bed with a tatooed stranger!

staying sunny - A Wrinkle In Time - one of my favourite books ever. Didn't read all the millions of pages so don't know if anyone guessed it but certainly couldn't leave those children tesseracting forever....

BalloonSlayer, you're right, but that's not the one I was thinking of. Bugger, wish it was - Behind the Scenes is one of my favourite books ...

Theyoungvisiter, is that the yew tree cut into the shape of Noah, because if so, run!

oh sorry, that should have been stayingsunny I think

Anyone going to have a go at mine of 22.11?

Jellycat... is it The 39 steps perchance?

22.11 is ringing no bells. Is the miserable DD Florence Dombey?

Josette, yes, and I jolly good thing I got away....this is an affair of global importance you know!

Theyoungvisiter - which wife did you mean? the snakey-haired one or the one who ought to have "made an effort." ?

Jellycat... I hear Scotland is very nice at this time of year. Just don't try and play any games with handcuffs and young women you meet. Such things should be kept private in the bedroon!

Moomin - yes!!
Sorry, missed your post till now.

AIBU to wish my nephew wasn't planning to marry such a pathetic, annoying and - frankly! - thick young woman?

I have had worries about him being effeminate, partly due to my own self-centred influence, I am sorry to say, so I suppose I should be pleased that he has turned his amourous attentions to a girl at last.

But there many wonderful young women! This one is, though beautiful, entirely vacuous, pointless and irritating (and her little dawg tooo!!!!!).

BalloonSlayer, give her some housekeeping lessons! She should know how to open oysters at least.
A sack with a brick for Jip?

I used to live in the country, and I loved my quiet life there. Now I've been forced to come and work in the city, and I'm homesick. AIBU to sit down and appreciate the smell of the flowers on the ladies' hats here?
