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!

Blimey, we're not accompanying Aunt Augusta are we Moomin?

I'm in a difficult moral position here, everyone feels I ought to persuade this young chap to abandon his principles, but is it the right thing to do?

Oops... completely forgot that Pogle did Mog a few pages back! D'oh

Huh at all these Aunties!

Now, AIBU to resent that woman not doing her fair share of bathroom-cleaning?

Moomin, you are a minx.

Pogle, I think you've got it, by George!

... she's a trouser-wearing anthropologist, for crying out loud!

please ,CJ,put me out of my misery - is your Lothario planning to appear on a famous TV quiz show,for people in tertiary education?!

... so an unasked-for clue:
It's most irregular; the rest of us simply proofread for the great men. Though some aspire to marrying vicars and bullying their sisters....

Pogle, you star ... ter for ten!

Don't you think he would have just loved the idea of being a Lothario?

Why 2 1/2 weeks llandb? Seems a very precise time period! Don't go!
Night All!

Yey!

Evening all!

Sorry, dozed off on the sofa and so was not around to be lynched when you all rumbled I was about to travel with Aunt Augusta!

Well, it had to be done sometime

But you are all revenged because I don't recognise anyone else's tonight. And will someone please tell me the identity of the Lothario?

Have a great time, llandb!

The Lothario is called Brian and he is from 'Starter for Ten' by David Nicholls.

And sorry for my stupid comment about your 2 1/2 week departure llandb - somehow managed to misread your post but can't imagine how now I re-read it...I blame hormones,or galloping senility...Have a good time!

night again!

You got us good ,Moomin!

llandb, I don't quite understand the significance or otherwise of 2 1/2 weeks but we will miss you, come back soon!

Moomin, nobody's fooled. We all know that 'dozing on the sofa' is Moomincode for 'thinking up dastardly AIBUs', much as 'I'm stumped - off to bed now' is Moomincode for 'I'll be back in five minutes after inspiration thunderbolt hits me halfway up the stairs'.

I'm still on the ship with these strange girls. We seem to be approaching an island.

Pogle, nothing like hormones or galloping senility to spice things up! My sole excuse is dippy-la-la-ness...

The 2 1/2 weeks is just fluke really... a balance between 'oopsie, OH has no leave left,' and, 'hmm, expensive flight with airline x on day y, or much cheaper flight with same airline on day z?'

We should be green and take the train but I don't fancy a 16-hour ride with a small person...

As I don't recall Aunt A having gone where we're going, I'll have to offer a different clue (not v subtle, sorry!):

AIBU to sound off at all and sundry just because I think my father copped an earful?

Snort. Your mum didn't have something to do with it did she? Was she planning to do a bit of thrifty housekeeping with the remains of the funeral feast?

Afternoon all! Much more awake today but sadly lacking in inspiration.

Procrastination is the thief of time, llandb!
Have a lovely holiday and steer clear of indecisive royalty.

Lady G, do your young man's principles involve poetry and poverty?

Pogle, are you holidaying or fleeing?

CJ, I am so stumped on your shadows, as stumped as I was on your Lothario. And would I like Starter for Ten?

And, to continue the theme...AIBU to think my Great-Aunt is not as sweet and cuddly as she seems?

Afternoon!
I am seriously stumped on the shadows too - sounds interesting though...

I'm not holidaying or fleeing - he has to find the baby,you see,and he will need someone to look after it...

Ooops - sorry about that...

Poetry is closely involved but not poverty. He is visiting scotland for the good of his health.

Life has got in the way this week. Reading back, I've no clue on any of the aunts.

Have you been in the trenches LadyG?

Hi Snow, nice to have you back. Annoying how RL will get in the way of AIBU-Books!

Lady G, might the principled young man be a famous poet and fox hunter?

...I think she is very selfish. She has everyone dancing attendance on her...

That seems to be the way of many Aunts, Moomin - but I am not recognising this particular one yet.

AIBU to think that the governess should not have told the children there were monsters under the bed?

He might indeed, Moomin.

Evening !
Snow - it rather depends how she deals with the monsters I think...are pokers involved at all?

..We are going to Constantinople,via Algiers...
