AIBU Books Game Part Six

[MoominMymbleandMy]

Now, we're on thread number six!

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 think I'm seeing a ghost?

Afternoon, all!

Moomin, are you delighting us with extracts from your Memoirs?

You're not going to work in a brothel, are you?

...No, I don't tell fibs - don't really have any need to! I'm too busy playing golf and having sex...

...I'm not, but I'm sure that's where my aunt, father and the man they wanted me to marry think I'm headed. If only they hadn't found out about the time I danced in public in my underwear...

Oh, well, I was way off the mark with your one, Treacle! So why are you complaining then? MCP!

Totally stuck on yours, Moomin! MCP!

...Well, I'm just running out of things to do. I'm so good at golf there doesn't seem much point in playing any more. I think I'm just bored of being myself...

...Not that I wanted to jump out of a cake and dance in my underwear for a lot of strange men. But my friend was so desperate and she'd been so kind to me...

MCP, Treacle!

treacle, do your friends call you Rabbit?

moomin, i know yours , i do.....

(not been on for a few days because angry rodent had me cornered...got away by telling him that there might be a bumsex thread he could read....)

No ideas on anyone's I'm afraid, just popping in.

Hello Elephants!

...I'm not really a golfer - well, I used to enjoy a few rounds on the municipal course, but after millennia of practice you do get rather good! I might take up tennis next...

MCP Moomin! I'm now fairly sure I don't know it though.

Polly, do you mean to say that JT the second is now LOOSE ON THE WORLD?

hi elephants

so not john updike then treacle

nimcp

your not mort are you, treacle?

Ooh, ooh, it's ringing a faint bell. Can't remember well enough to ask an apt question, but are you bored with heaven and considering oblivion?

Afternoon, all!

So are you fancying getting away from it all for a bit, Treacle?

...Fortunately, I wasn't cold dancing in my underwear because it is rather warm in Brazil...

Yes, I am, Elephants! Well done! You win a lovely pair of argyle golfing bloomers...

ooh lovely, thanks!

Bum biscuits, Polly?

cj

Aahhh ... brings a whole new meaning to the jammie dodger. Hope JT is enjoying himself. My rodent (an actually very cute indeed little mouselet) hasn't returned, in spite of some extremely vicious traps slathered in peanut butter. Which is good, really, as I'm a total wimp and don't have the heart to deal with corpses or guilt.

I still can't remember who that stupid fiancé was, dammit.

AIBU to fall in love with someone I was rather nasty about when I was younger?

Polly, mine was a short story from A History of the World in 9 1/2 Chapters by Julian Barnes.

Why were you nasty about them, CJ? Were they older than you and rather dictatorial?

AIBU to not tell this girl how I feel about her?

Afternoon, all!

Was he rude about your hair, CJ? Oh, and have you considered that the mouselet just might not like peanut butter...Or perhaps he likes it so much he's gone to fetch his friends and relations...

Polly, I shall never see a Jammy Dodger in the same light!

...Of course, the jumping out of a cake was a one-off. My real work involves dancing on stage in a great deal more clothing...

Did you fancy someone a bit more dashing at the time CJ?

Sounds like YABU Treacle, unless your friend is after the same girl?

AIBU to break the law?

NIMCP!(hardly worth posting really!) - but your exploits are ringing faint bells Moomin - I will pursue my train of thought while doing the school run!(Can't think at present as I have DD at home sick - everytime I think I'll have a day ON MY OWN at home,something stops it - snow,sickness,inset days - how inconsiderate of the world...)

AIBU to wish they would leave me alone?

Poor you Pogle, and get well soon to Pogle's DD.

Why are they after you? Do they think you can do miracles?

MCP everyone!

Pogle, are you going to go and seclude yourself in a nice peaceful cave?

Elephants, I should jolly well think YABU

All these rodents are spilling through into my RL now! Have just had an email from my tenants saying they have a mice infestation and what should they do about it? Perhaps I should suggest Mumsnet, it's obviously keeping JT out of trouble...

...I'm not competing with a friend for this girl - I'm just worried it might be a bit inappropriate since she works for me...

Ooh tricky one, Treacle. Do you know I have gone a total blank...unless..you're not flirting with her via internal message system I hope?

...But no-one will find out, I'm sure. And it's not for my benefit, it's for my wife.
