AIBU Books - Part 3

[MoominMymbleandMy]

I can't get into the old thread so I think we filled it up! I hope everyone finds the new one.

So nice, shiny new thread, nice shiny new AIBU.

AIBU to be jealous of my DH's correspondence with a stranger?

Pogle, I feel I ought to know yours but I'm not getting anywhere.

Maria, this isn't ringing bells at all now. Doh!

Well, Moomin, now you mention it, I never, ever thought the day would come when I'd actually publicly declare myself to be a common shag

I suppose that's bound to happen if your Granny can never make up her mind - perhaps she thought the grass was greener in the other size?

WIBU to change the towels?

llandb, well done, you have hit the nail on the head! That was exactly the trouble with Granny Greengrass, she never could make up her mind and stick to it.

And at common shag declaration! But highly uncommon at the least I would say!

Now, were you planning on hitchhiking? If so, I'd say YANBU definitely.

AIBU to ask my friend to spend the night at my place?

Moomin', please, more clues!

Not planning on hitchhiking, though there is a good chance I will have to find another job if I'm sacked. It's not just changing the towels - I dusted the furniture and drew the drapes, too!

llandb, but did you dress the chicken?!

...I'm afraid I think I am BU. I haven't done the dusting and I haven't got anything in...

Sorry, Moomin, but I don't dooooo housework! Another clue please?

AIBU to think that that strange man should not have been at Uncle Gordon's funeral?

Well, Moomin', I wanted to but Mrs
Rogers just wouldn't tell me whether it was to be a girl chicken or a boy chicken.

Believe it or not, Amelia Bedleia is solely responsible for my thus-far life-long obssession with lemon meringue pie!

SW, I'm totally with you on the housework front (except, possibly, to make lemon meringue pie). I need another clue from you and from Moomin!

Hah, typo queen here - 'Amelia Bedleia' sounds a bit like 'Amelia Bedlam' - which is fair cop for our friend Amelia Bedelia

'Night All; it's been a long day of clutter reshuffling

Hi Snow, I'd love another clue too, please.

llandb, couldn't you have dressed the chicken in yellow, dear, dear, maids these days!

...And I never even finished the spring cleaning!

Night all!

Have a good day all

Hang Spring cleaning, Moomin - I'd rather be messing about on the river.

... And he turned up when the will was read as well!!! No manners, some people.

Snow - is that a clue that Moomin' is striped and has a long, pointy nose?

Most puzzled by your strange man.

AIBU to wind up some young man who is shallow enough to go ga-ga over me just because I've had all my hair cut off?

I need to think a bit more about these clues...

It turns out that Uncle Gordon's books were not completely fictional after all - this guy seems to know a lot of strange people.

Just popping in to say hello!
I'm totally uninspired at the moment,but glad to see you are all still here,will return to lurking now.

Hi all, I am also still around but tied up with work (and a bit uninspired), so sorry I haven't been joining in.

Can't think of any more clues for my suffragette one. Except maybe to say that we are only schoolgirls, after all, and it should have been all right because my friend's mother was starring in the play and said she'd taken care of everything ...

Hi all!

Snow, yes, well done, I would much rather be messing about in boats! But that's precisely why my little home is in such a state. What was I thinking of when I invited poor Ratty?!

Would I be right in thinking there's a spot of skulduggery involved in this business with your deceased uncle?

llandb, another hair sacrificer! I had no idea there were so many. Another clue, please.

CJ, I give in, I surrender! I am totally stumped, stumped, stumped. Sorry!

AIBU to think our great-aunt is completely potty?

I thought it was a generic requirement for great-aunts to be completely potty - can you elaborate?!

Hi Pogle, yes, but this one is completely dippy. She says the seagulls are bringing us news about our sick father!

Brilliant, Moomin - very bony person he was, but definitely pleasant company!

It's going to be a long summer - does your dippy aunt think it's time you all did a bit of growing up?

AIBU to think there must be one girl in the kingdom I could marry?

Very well done indeed, Snow! That was super fast.

Is there a glass slipper involved in your one, or is it a question of sensitivity to peas...or neither?

AIBU to want to stay an ordinary policeman?

It was the seagulls that did it....

Is your policeman a fiddle player?

No glass slippers or peas involved, but there is a six week deadline on this romance. Need to move fast...

Ah, is this a question of having to be married by a certain time to get an inheritance?

...I don't play the fiddle but I'm quite talented at poaching...

I'm afraid so, no bride = no kingdom. The local maidens are all very nice, but none of them is 'the one'.

Hmmmm, a poaching policeman...

You're not Noggin the Nog are you, Snow?!

Moomin, who was your dippy aunt?

Feel totally lost again ... and ignorant. Someone post a classic I've heard of, please!

suffragettes were Miss Rivers and Miss Bridges ...

AIBU to worry about those shadows outside?
