I am not getting any of these and I thought I was quite well-read.

llandb · 28/04/2009 18:34

Moomin' I'm not sure I'd want you to be my sister but would find it quite amusing if, say, you were a colleague's sister

When someone tells me what your book is, I'm gonna read it

llandb · 28/04/2009 18:48

Meanwhile, AIBU to resent my buffoon of a boss and his insistence that we eat his hideous tinned sausages?

MoominMymbleandMy · 28/04/2009 21:48

Poledra, llandb, I am not their sister but they are mine!
Sausages....hmmm

MoominMymbleandMy · 28/04/2009 22:27

llandb, more clues on the sausages please.

llandb · 28/04/2009 22:27

Hmm, had there only been one sister I'd have taken a punt that your name was William - but I'll Just have to try harder (and beg another clue)

Snorkers, I believe! Though it turns out that not all his countrymen are so crass.

'Night all

MoominMymbleandMy · 28/04/2009 22:32

I did have a misspent youth but I redeemed myself later on by rescuing one of my sisters from penury after her savings were lost in a bank failure.

MoominMymbleandMy · 28/04/2009 22:36

llandb, are you an obnoxious Aussie, who should have been torpedoed (but wasn't)!?

MoominMymbleandMy · 28/04/2009 22:47

Oh, I shall have to wait until tomorrow to know now! How Cruel.

Night all.

llandb · 29/04/2009 11:19

Now, Moomin', don't take the acid with me - it's that boss I'm whingeing about who is the obnoxious Aussie! I'm starting to regret giving up the journo gig to volunteer for this. It is indeed most Cruel; we're all at Sea as to how to handle him. Perhaps he'll pretend to develop a duodenal ulcer and be discharged from active service.

Puzzled, puzzled...

llandb · 29/04/2009 11:23

Oh, er, or rather, don't come the acid with me.... taking the acid may have to wait a decade or two

Stayingsunnygirl · 29/04/2009 11:37

AIBU to fall in love with a woman who's in prison accused of murdering her lover?

llandb · 29/04/2009 11:52

Sunny - maybe I'm just being dim but can I please pretty please have a little clue?

MoominMymbleandMy · 29/04/2009 13:13

Hi Sunny, was it a certain aristocratic sleuth who took this whimsical notion?

llandb, sorry, sorry, should have thought before typing - you have nothing in common with Bennett!

Stayingsunnygirl · 29/04/2009 13:14

Well, the lady concerned isn't proud of her appearance as such, but could be said to be vain.....

MoominMymbleandMy · 29/04/2009 13:19

Or even Vane! Warn her to watch out for her future sister-in-law. That woman is Strong Poison.

Any takers on my hero. He is hurt, after having been adapted for the telly recently, he was sure you would recognise him!

Stayingsunnygirl · 29/04/2009 13:21

Spot on, Moomin. If no-one had got it, I was going to throw in a clue about my friend Mrs Merdle.

As for yours - either I haven't been watching enough tv recently (unlikely - ) or I'm being more dim than normal this morning (far more likely - ).

Stayingsunnygirl · 29/04/2009 13:22

Oooh - hang on, though - it's not Skellig, is it?

MoominMymbleandMy · 29/04/2009 13:29

Much more scope for period costume, Sunny.

llandb · 29/04/2009 23:27

Two eyes, nose, mouth but no liking for Snorkers

Totally puzzled (and rubbish at posting)....

'Night all

MoominMymbleandMy · 29/04/2009 23:45

He was played by a professional (I believe).

Night all!

CJCregg · 29/04/2009 23:52

Oh, oh, I know! Were both sisters dames, and was there an incident with a precious piece of lace?

MoominMymbleandMy · 30/04/2009 12:52

A piece of lace, a cup of milk, a greedy cat....and an emetic. Yes CJ!

Now AIBU to run away from my new school with just sixpence in my pocket, and disguised by a fake limp and a friend's spectacles?

llandb · 30/04/2009 23:01

It sounds daring, but how will your friend see without the specs? And, as usual, I mst beg a clue.

MoominMymbleandMy · 30/04/2009 23:42

Hi llandb, that's the cunning part! my friend's running away with me, and he's disguised himself by not wearing his specs. He's also got a fake limp and sixpence in his pocket.
