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?

OP posts:
CJCregg · 16/10/2009 20:54

Nooooooooooo! That's the one I haven't even read ...

Right, I'm on a mission. Going to find them all before DD gets to the right age to read them. (Still can't find End of Term, am worried.)

CJCregg · 16/10/2009 21:01

PS Have a fab holiday, Moomin. We will miss you

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 16/10/2009 21:18

Oh dear, I have no idea what you lot are talking about!

'Fraid not, Moomin - I'm sticking with my Aussie theme for now

... I'm rather tired of this life of servitude - first my parents died, then my husband died - and every time that woman has engaged me and smugly made my dye my lovely clothes black! This fella should be easy enough...

Happy travels Moomin; be reasonable!

Pogleswood · 16/10/2009 21:57

Well done Moomin! And you are not a bit sad with no life,CJ - I just seem to be going through a phase of being unable to string two thoughts together - it's all in there somewhere but my data retrieval is malfunctioning!

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 16/10/2009 22:02

Sad, with no life? How can anyone visit this thread and be considered sad-with-no-life?

'Night, all!

Poledra · 16/10/2009 23:10

LLandB, I am sure I know yours! MCP!

Have a lovely hol, Moomin!

Poledra · 16/10/2009 23:11

Is yours Oscar and Lucinda, LLandB?? I can't remember the character's name though......

MoominOnABroomstick · 17/10/2009 00:39

Thank you, all . See you next week and have fun being U.

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 17/10/2009 13:03

Yay Pol, yes! And a good thing I marched him to the altar quick-smart, between getting him to get me up the duff and the silly fool getting drowned.

(Can't remember character's name either, come to think of it and t'internets is very short on synopses! Will be most contrite if her name is Miss Price too, 'cos then I'd have given the wrong answer to Moomin)

Is everyone being reasonable this morning afternoon?

CJCregg · 17/10/2009 21:42

Evening all! Have had two extra DCs staying today, total nightmare, only just got the little darlings to sleep, so need some R&R ...

AIBU to follow this girl home?

Pogleswood · 18/10/2009 10:00

Obviously replying too late to provide Saturday night R&R,CJ - but you are presumably now dealing with the morning after - I love sleepovers!

AYBU?depends really -are you an animal in need of a home? are you in love? are you following her home with evil intent?(in which case,you shouldn't need to ask!)

treaclespongeofdeath · 18/10/2009 11:12

Morning all

NIMCP!

AIBU to wish my husband would be a little less stubborn?

Pogleswood · 18/10/2009 11:35

Morning!
NIMCP to all,and does anyone care about my odd fan types or shall I give up on that? It's not easy being a homicide detective in San Francisco at the best of times...

treaclespongeofdeath · 18/10/2009 11:37

I do care! I just have no idea what it is... not having any luck with google either

Pogleswood · 18/10/2009 11:52

Thank you,Treacle! I think it's probably another beekeeper (which is strangely appropriate)

More clues on your husband?

...and I probably should've said being a female homicide detective isn't easy...

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 18/10/2009 12:59

Arvo, All!

Sorry, Pogle, the only one I can think of is the New Jersey bounty-hunter

And more about that hubby, please, Treacle!

Pogleswood · 18/10/2009 14:10

I should've gone for her! Maybe later...
What was your australian shoddy workmanship one,by the way?

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 18/10/2009 17:47

Mine was Henry Lawson's 'The Iron-Bark Chip' - and probably serve me right if I'd been caught, but I wasn't!

Oh dear, I'm afraid I need MCP (and can't think of one myself!)

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 18/10/2009 19:04

CJ, perhaps she has stolen something of yours?

And now

...AWBU to talk to this man?

CJCregg · 18/10/2009 19:34

Evening all!

No evil intent, but she did promise me she'd take me with her, but she must have forgotten because she went charging ahead ...

MCP!

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 18/10/2009 19:56

Hmm, CJ, were you going to live with her? Are you human?

MCP!

.... He's got some idea that he needs redhaired twins to defeat the forces of evil and save the world...

CJCregg · 18/10/2009 20:06

llandb, I was going to live her, that's exactly what she promised ... and all sorts of other lovely things ... and no, I'm not human!

MCP!

pollywobbledoodle · 18/10/2009 21:46

pogle are you kate martinelli?

pollywobbledoodle · 18/10/2009 21:48

and llandb does he want the matheson twins?

dangheckskuLLANDBone · 18/10/2009 22:15

Yay, Polly - yes, we've jumped across to NZ and gone Under the Mountain (and therefore saved the world and forced it to go through 80s music )

Hmm, CJ, but I still don't know who you are... a cat? Dog? Horse? Alien? Little painted truck? (Made all those up )

MCP! and hgoodnight and hgoodluck!
