AIBU Books Game Part 5

[MoominMymbleandMy]

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?

Hmm- sounds very U to me, Moomin!

More clues please...

AIBU to wish my son would stop waking up so early?

Not a bit U, Treacle. I wish that every day! No ideas on the book though.

...Well, I had to marry him for his money. I was used to it, only my father lost all ours and then killed himself, which put the kibosh on marrying my true love because I really didn't fancy being poor...

NIMCP!

AIBU to go a-preaching?

If it's at the Church of the Quivering Brethren then I'm sure your family's delighted to get a break from you. Otherwise, I've no idea, Llandb.

MCP, Treacle!

...And my DH shouldn't have run away. I had no choice but to drive the car at him. We did warn him when we kidnapped him...

Good grief,Moomin...
MCP all!

...So now the DH is dead I've inherited lots of money. We did have a scary time getting away though because my DH whacked my true love on the head with a blunt instrument before I ran him over...

No, I'm preaching in the open air (I think ) and I'm trying to avoid temptresses!

Moomin, sounds rather U! Could you and your not-so-D H not have come to an arrangement whereby you both have loveurs?

MCP!

...Oh, I did have a lover. The DH knew about him and he didn't mind so long as I was discreet. But he was murdered a few days before my DH. I set him up, actually...

NIMC on the preacher and early-rising offspring!

llandb, are you John the Baptist?!

Welcome back, Moomin. Hope you had a lovely holiday. I can safely say I have NO IDEA what anyone is talking about, MCP.

AIBU to wish my fiancee wouldn't go on holiday?

moomin WHAT were you reading on holiday???
glad you had a good time

llandb are you cuthbert?

cj yanbu if she is going on a singles holiday...

CJ, is she (?) going without you?

MCP!

... She tempted me in the past. But now she's married and I've mended my wicked ways...

It was a lovely holiday but it went too quickly .

...Ohhh! You all think I killed DH and set up my lover to be murdered for personal reasons! It was just patriotism...

NIMCP on everyone's!

No to John and Cuthbert (who is this Cuthbert, then, Polly?)

... I found out about the hubby swanning off, though - and she told me of his religious views, which have made me reconsider...

MCP!

'Night, All!

ooh, moomin, are you a spy?

cuthbert was a 7th century monk (real!)...i suspect i am centuries and continents wide of the mark

...I'm not a professional spy but I have been active in the Resistance since Dunkirk...

Night all!

...Still, we usually manage to get a bit of extra sleep by packing him off to talk to people...

NIMCP!

Well, Moomin, my efforts to Google yours have come up with a very barking interesting conspiracist site (it took me a while to realise it wasn't parody ), but no luck!

Treacle , are these people imaginary?

Polly, with a name like that he must be from the same bit o' land as my preacher!

We've flitted back to Blighty, though we're in South-West dairy country...

MCP!

Oopsies - when I say 'we've flitted back,' I mean that llandb's own continent-hopping has led to Blighty, not the preacher's.

As for me, preacher-man, I don't think I've been away. Though it's possible I went on a never-mentioned grand tour in my youth; my family is wealthy enough. But that hubby is well out of the way - he's sloped off to Brazil!

Very, very stuck over here. Hmm.

...No, they're real enough, and they seem to be helping with his phobia, which is good...

Hmm, MCP!

.... She tempted me before, you know. I would have tired of her soon enough, as with the others, if she hadn't gone over all conscientious and left me...

Well,glad to see you've all been busy while I've been slaving at work!(put-upon emoticon..)
Totally baffled by all - but Moomin's sounds like an episode of 'Allo,'Allo...

Hello everyone, great thread! Sorry - I haven't read all the past 5 threads, and so I guess that you have probably already had this one, but here goes anyway, because I found myself thinking about it over the washing up ...

AIBU to say that the first thing we do is to kill all the lawyers ... ?

Evening all, sorry to abandon you again ...

Greetings all! Even by my night owl standards I can't get away with saying: "Evening," at this time of night!

Hi, VampireSlayer, I would think reading all five threads in one go would give you nightmares and we don't mind repeats one bit - it adds to the fun. And your proposition doesn't sound a bit U, but are you from Shakespeare or Luton's finest, cat-loving PI?

Pogle, not Allo, Allo but it was dramatised for TV around then.

NIMCP on everyone's as my brain seems to have seized up completely.

...My lover was working on a secret weapon for the Germans in my DH's factory. And my DH had collaborated with Vichy from the start so really I don't think I was being U at all...

Morning all,and hi,Vampireslayer!
MCP,all,equally stumped by sleepless child,preacher and fiancee,(is Moomin right on the lawyers?)and my brain has defaulted to TV mode on Moomin's,which now sounds like an episode of Wish Me Luck (BBC drama about SOE)...
