AIBU - Books part 2

[theyoungvisiter]

as you were ladies.

Arthur for a girl! I wouldn't call her that even if you paid me a king's ransome.

clearly more of a trickle tonight. I haven't read sixth seal, so that would explain it!

I await further revelations....

Moomin - do you think so? Maybe I should get a passage out of here. Although that didn't do my MIL any good.

Do you feel you just need to connect, Maria?

The Kraken Wakes

Quattro, are there any ambulant plants?

You're probably right salome, but I think I might do that back in middle England somewhere and never come back to this disconcerting place! Honestly I can't hear anything for this blasted echo!

My violinist is beginning to wonder if she is any good after all. Maybe Mary, Rose and her mother are right.
But life at home is so horrible, especially since her father started campaigning to save that murderess from the gallows.

Pooka - I loved Swallows and Amazons. Another to add to my list of books to re-read!

Still stumped with the violinist? Unless there was an answer for that which I missed? It's been a long day and I've glossed the front door so it's a bit fumey in here!

Oooh! Moomin! Are we talking about a malfunctioning water feature here?

'Biggles' would certainly fly but he needs to treat his ankle Gingerly.

AIBU to ask my three adult sons to leave home? Surely it's time they earned their own livings? (Apologies if this has already been done; we late thread joiners must be expected to be unreasonable....)

Indeed, we are. Take a bow! Preferably Cordelia's because the poor thing is a bit rubbish.

Indeed - poor love. I think she should probably try the recorder instead.

I think I am going to have to give up on the violinist. I clearly have not read this book, and even worse, haven't heard of it (coulda blagged otherwise!)

will somebody just tell me? moomin? Maria? anyone?!

The Fountain Overflows.

Not sure we've had anything from this author but I could be wrong.

AIBU to think that although I've married beneath me, DS1 is marvellous and DS2 is pretty good too (although I'm not sure I'm going to fully realise that until DS1 is dead).

Ooh Salome, then you are in for a treat. It's The Fountain Overflows by Rebecca West.

llandb, the three sons don't have to build their own accommodation, by any chance?

thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou. HUGE sigh of relief. It was driving me insane!

Maria CC, Mmm, might there be nude wrestling with distinct homo-erotic undertones in another of your author's offerings?

Moomin, they do! They are remarkably handy at it given that they have had any formal training, although only one takes into account local natural hazards.

Then, llandb, I fear YANBU in the case of the older two, at least until they've learnt some self-defence.

I don't ever want this thread to stop. But it will. And then its back out to MN wilderness. Sob.

Or YABU, I should say

Moomin - that might indeed be the case, and it's all the better for it!

Hmmmm, not sure about these three boys of yours llandb. Any more clues...

Blardy 'ell - I was on the other thread for this, and since then haven't managed to keep up enough to either guess or post! Finally, I have caught up and cannot remember which books/plays have been done. And I reckon they're getting a touch more obscure now .

Anyway, I have been having an affair with my DH's best friend since, oh, before we were married. They're such opposites - DH is conservative both politically and, erm, sexually, and his friend is, well, not. AIBU in thinking I can keep the affair going without anyone finding out?
