AIBU - Books part 2

[theyoungvisiter]

as you were ladies.

Yes salome64, and steer clear of the uncle. He sounds a bit too interested in little girls' underwear.

Moomin, you did brilliantly in your secretarial exams, and you should start getting involved in the detecting work.

god yes, you are right! and all those 'alternative' medicines. brown bread pills? I ask you!

AIBU to create a flying back garden for myself, even when there's a risk that the magic involved might turn me into a creature of the order testudinidae (albeit one with a rather cute little nose)?

AIBU Not to want to be called fossil just because my guardian's an academic who disappears for years at a time?

staying, are marigolds involved as well as tortoises?

Hope you are light on your feet, quattro, you'll catch it when he comes back!

Not at all Quattro, especially as you are also called Petrova because it sounds Russian and "a bit like Peter"

whoops meant to type "if you are also called..."

No marigolds as far as I recall, salome. However, I am finding it a bit difficult steering my horticultural paradise whilst in my current form.

I'm back! And feel quite sick ... you bastards lovely ladies have had all day to play and I've been being a (somewhat distracted) mum. I feel totally left out and the nerd at the back of the classroom again ...

Right, enough self-pity, let's get to work. (Have also just dumped DCs on exDH with most unseemly haste.)

love it Balloon! Petrus...Can you build a church on her?

hi five, CJ! (in nerdy wanna be cool kinda way) just done the same!

AIBU to want to smoke next Tuesday afternoon's cigarette right now? And to ponce ten shillings off my neighbour to go to the pub with?

Hi, salome! Does this mean we're going to be doing this all weekend? FFS, I have plans - but nothing as fun as this

In theory, I hope not CJ, but who knows? Ds out of way, booty call away for weekend, nothing between now and sunday lunch....

CJCregg, should you be saving up for an aspidistra?

flying plants? whatever next?

Now I love both my brother and my father, but they are so interfering! I've recently developed a romantic friendship with Philip, a hunchback, but sensitive and intellectual. Both my father and my brother insist that I have nothing to do with him. AIBU to resent their interference?

CJC - hmm must be Orwell but which one? I think it probably is the aspidistra one ...

No aspidistras here. I have no great artistic ambitions, but do have a pain in the arse ex-girlfriend who won't leave me alone. I don't feel I can abandon her after her suicide attempt.

Saturday night is tomorrow night (prays as it is years since I read it). Or it could be Look Back in Anger (ditto) Can I hedge my bets?

CJCregg- you shouldn't complain, Jim. You sound very lucky to me!

Neither of those.

I teach history badly, and am in love with my employer's mad artist son's prim girlfriend.

Ah, thank you Mrs F. Good to see you again!
