AIBU Books Game Part 5

MoominMymbleandMy · 04/10/2009 20:46

Now we've made it to a fifth thread!

As before, we frame an AIBU from the point of view of a character in a book and everyone tries to guess the book and/or the character.

Everyone welcome to play/time-waste as much or as little as they please.

New thread, new AIBU...

AIBU to set all my sights on getting a rich husband?

  • Polly,you are my hero! I am indeed Kate Martinelli (have you read them,or was that inspired googling?)

MCP,everyone1

Pogleswood · 18/10/2009 22:49

CJ,can you talk??

treaclespongeofdeath · 19/10/2009 09:38

NIMCP! Drawing a total blank on everyone's at the moment

...Usually I admire his principles, but it's causing a lot of trouble this time. I don't know why he feels he has to stand up to these people...

CJCregg · 19/10/2009 09:46

Treacle, I know I'm trespassing into the world of plays here, but can't help feeling you're either Mrs John Proctor or Lady More (as in Thomas)!

Yes, I can talk. I had a nice chat with her, and she said I could come and live with her. She even invited me for dinner.

treaclespongeofdeath · 19/10/2009 10:55

...No, I'm afraid it's not that high-brow. All he has to do is write something, can it be that hard?

More clues please!

Pogleswood · 19/10/2009 11:05

Morning! NIMCP - but perhaps you could tell me you're not Gaspode the Wonder Dog,CJ,thus freeing my mind up to think a bit more about who you are...

Treacle,are yur husband's principles causing problems for your father?

treaclespongeofdeath · 19/10/2009 11:09

No, but they are causing problems for the rest of the family! All I want is a bit of peace and quiet...

More clues, more clues!

CJCregg · 19/10/2009 11:16

No, I'm not a dog.

She even implied that I could sleep with her! What a tease. But she'll have to learn to keep her promises ...

Pogleswood · 19/10/2009 11:25

Nope,completely stumped - off to do some cleaning,perhaps inspiration will visit me ...MCP!

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 19/10/2009 12:45

Er, cheers, Polly!

Cor, that Kate Martinelli sounds interesting - will have to read her exploits in the print

pollywobbledoodle · 19/10/2009 13:15

pogle not googling but asked friend who i borrowed the book from a couple of years ago and she looked thru her bookshelves ....sometimes this thread takes over!

llandb....btw that was me in the video....in my best suit...

others nimcp...

treaclespongeofdeath · 19/10/2009 13:42

Hmm... don't seem to be doing very well on this thread at the moment. Obviously I need to spend less time doing housework and more time reading

Although tbh with the amount of housework I do, I'd probably only be able to fit in a couple of extra chapters a week

...I just can't cope with all this noise in the house! And not having electricity is a real pain. I wish he'd just give in...

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 19/10/2009 14:20

Nice suit polly; your Sal down south will be impressed with your virility

Treacle has he gone all environmental activist on you?

dangskuLLANDBoneym · 19/10/2009 17:27

AIBU to think these workmen are nicer than the silly boys I dance with?

Help, nincompoop here!!

treaclespongeofdeath · 19/10/2009 17:30

Are you having a garden party, llandb?

...Not an activist, the electricity's been stopped. And the water. And all the musical instruments have gone mad. And I'm sure the children are up to something, they keep disappearing with our guest...

dangskuLLANDBoneym · 19/10/2009 17:49

Cor, Treacle - chandelier time for you, if one can be attached to the marquee!

Sorry, stumpified! MCP (pending a plan to do a spot of googling)?

dangskuLLANDBoneym · 19/10/2009 22:45

Treacle, nothing along the lines of the devil wanting a contract signed...?

NIMCP

'Night, All!

treaclespongeofdeath · 19/10/2009 22:51

...It's all the fault of these wizards! I suppose he's doing the right thing really, we really don't want them ruling the rest of the world as well as this town...

NIMCP!

Poledra · 19/10/2009 23:30

Although CJ is not being Gaspode the Wonder Dog, I suspect that you, Treacle, are married to the Commander of the Watch.....

CJCregg · 19/10/2009 23:57

I am not a dog!

I just want a bit of fair treatment in return for doing her a favour. She promised ...

Pogleswood · 20/10/2009 07:16

Morning everyone,having a quick check here before work,but still NIMCP,sadly.

Meanwhile,AIBU to resign from my position?

See you all later!

treaclespongeofdeath · 20/10/2009 09:38

Morning!

Pogle, have you been up to no good? Or are you being forced out?

...No, I'm nothing as elevated as a Duchess, unfortunately - just a humble music teacher. Things started going wrong ever since that Goon turned up at our house...

Poledra · 20/10/2009 09:51

Bah! I was so sure I had that right. I may have to resort to Google......

dangskuLLANDBoneym · 20/10/2009 13:52

Or are you off on an adventure, Pogle?

NIMCP!
