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!

At least we've knocked a couple on the head - night!

Ooh, discoveries! Not heard of your one at all Pogle, obviously I am jinxed on books with Pawn in the title.

And I didn't think I knew yours, CJ, until you quoted from it and the very faintest of bells began to ring...

And CJ, how could you watch the awful GC on the box - he makes Lois Sanger sound like the best pal anyone could ask for!

Er, more clues Pogle?

I am getting a bit sick of mine (as an AIBU, not a book), let's see...

...They didn't shoot my brother. They shot her daughter who had also been transformed into a wolf. Great-Auntie is having fits over it but she was the one who transformed her in the first place...

Moomin, I'm afraid I have a teeny crush on GC - shades of Patrick Merrick, don't you think?! Think I love Sue P more, though. They just make me laugh. And I need to laugh quite a lot at the moment!

Am ashamed to say that I have attempted googling yours too, but with no luck. Going to need something a bit more solid to go on.

Night Pirates is fab, and highly recommended for your DS once he's old enough.

Must go to bed now, but am tempted to stay up in anticipation of being harangued for liking GC - perhaps a full dress Court of Honour would be in order?

Nooo, CJ! To compare him with Patrick Merrick is sacrilege.

He is not a nice person, at all, and not in the least worthy of you, promise!

...I wish someone would take Great-Auntie away in one of those police vans, what do they call them?...

... Maria

Thank you! Was in the middle of googling some very interesting looking books - completely up the wrong tree, but there you go.

Must go to bed now. Will resume the GC debate in the morning, possibly on another thread as it seems inappropriate here!

Night, all.

Just one more before I go to sleep - AIBU to wish my parents hadn't gone away for the entire holidays, leaving me in this huge castle practically on my own?

Night CJ, you can dream about Patrick, not him!

Quick pop in to say yes, my grandfather was British, though lived in France before the Great War.

I've always meant to read those Dorothy Dunnetts - I remember my dad reading them years ago.

Oh dear, I am uninspired on all of them and feeling very thick.

Er, lots more clues, please?

AIBU to complain to the letting agent about my apartment?

Poledra,the sweet sound of birdsong,eh? I can quite see why your mother didn't explain the whole story to you when you were a child...
And how old is your father??! Please tell me this isn't why I'm the only one here who has read Dorothy Dunnett....(though actually I read them originally because my Mum recommended them)
They are v.good.

...we didn't know it was his birthday.He is being very gloomy about the lack of cake,presents,etc...

Buy him a nice ribbon for his tail, I'm sure that'll cheer him up!

I was going to give him A Useful Pot to Put Things In..!

So AIBU to be fed up, stuck in this huge castle on my own (apart from the housekeeper) for the entire holidays?

Indeed Pogle, it was Birdsong - I've just read it, and it was spellbinding.

My dad is 73.......

No idea on CJ's - more clues pliz?

Well,I may be feeling a bit old and worn at the moment,but I'm not 73!

AIBU to think my grandchildren need taking in hand?

More clues,CJ and Moomin!

Evening all!

Oh, Birdsong! . But I'm still mystified by your tail and Useful Pot, Pogle, do explain.

More clues, please

...I was very pleased with the apartment, nicer area, more space, reasonable rent. And hardly any other tenants so it was nice and quiet...

Oh! It was Eeyore! How shameful but he would think it Typical.

Night all!

I'm going to have a wander around, try exploring parts of the castle I've never looked in before. Problem is, the place is so big - what's the best way to get around, I wonder?

Hmm, should you be wary of spinning wheels, CJ?

...In fact, I was really delighted with it, until it collapsed...

you could always fly...

Unfortunately I don't have any magic powers, nor am I a princess, so flying is out of the question and I don't need to worry about spinning wheels.

This ride-on hoover looks like a good way to get around, though ... as long as the housekeeper doesn't catch me.

Can't see a ride-on hoover in Gormenghast though I'm sure they could have done with one.

CJ, more help, please!

...But my clever girlfriend managed to get a refund and compensation from the letting agent. And just in time too...

Night all!
