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?

hello!
back from my jolly hols...10 days...in wales...in the sunshine
you've been busy...posting,having disasters,celebrating...
just marking my place....will go and read thread properly!

hello polly! Lucky you - Wales eh?

Thanks for the silver boat,Elephants!(my favorite fairy tale,in fact the only fairy tale I really liked!)

Hi Polly Good to have you back and great that you were lucky with the weather this time.

More gold! Thank you, Elephants. At this rate I'll soon have enough for a new laptop and won't have to resort to pinching DH's.

It was my favourite fairy tale too. I loved the idea of a secret door leading to a magical garden and couldn't understand why they wanted to go and dance with a lot of soppy princes when they could play in the garden all night instead.

...And Leo's such a clever dog. He won the cats round and I really do think he understands every word I say...

hello polly! and everyone else!

...Well, I suppose I'm stuck with this companion now. But that doesn't mean I have to be nice to him...

More clues, please - treacle, yours is irritatingly familiar but I need more specifics, please!

Pol, will start emailing a bit later if you're ready

I was planning on giving them a nice bit of fish, but it didn't quite go to plan ...

treacle, are you on a mission?

cj, did a cat eat the fish? (or am i mixing it up with an episode of come dine with me )

others nimcp

Barking heavenly creatures, Moomin - it's taken Amazon 3 months to deliver my copy

AIBU to wish my Uncle would get married?

Do you have someone particular in mind, Snowy?

MCP everyone!

...I'm not on a mission, I'm escaping! But I don't really want this boy along...

treacle, have his family died and entrusted him to you?

Morning, all!

I knew I could rely on you to spot a DWJ, Snow. Well done, and shame on Amazon for taking three months to deliver Dogsbody. Not much in the way of prizes here unless you fancy one of Duffie's horrible pots. But I couldn't recommend them.

Are you travelling with a couple of unusual horses too, Treacle?

MCP, all!

AIBU to interrupt the wedding?

Morning!

Treacle, I have got to no 48 in my sending and have got a message saying "delivery to this recipient failed permanantly".... I've tried from my other email address,but still no joy.I'm sure CJ or Moomin would try if we asked nicely and offered gifts - or I can put on disc and post if you email me your address...unless you have another solution?

I am back to baffled again,so MCP all (where is llandb with the raft and chocolate when you need her??)

I'm happy to have a shot if someone will e-mail me Treacle's e-mail address. Can't leave her stranded in the middle of RAH!

...A lot of people thought I was BU, very U but I knew she was making a terrible mistake...

llandb!
Rescue at last,can I join you?
I promise not to steal the chocolate!

You aren't planning on hammering on the glass at the back of the church yelling at her,are you,Moomin?
(I can email you,if it's ok with Treacle.)

Room for some elephants on that raft? We're only little [simpering grin]

Treacle, where are you? I need your e-mail or the Marlows will be permanently stranded!

...No, I wasn't planning to do anything. My friend assured me most weddings hardly ever come off so I was waiting for the church to catch fire or something...

Oh - fair enough - in that case you are definately not BU - she shouldn't be marrying him,she should be with Michael,poor Michael...

WTF is Michael?

It wasn't that a cat ate the fish, just that the fish was a little unwilling to be caught ...

That all sounds a bit Swallows-and-Amazonsish to me,CJ - except I can't see them ever failing in an outdoor task....

You got there first, llandb!
This is the point at which DD,if she were here,would be looking over my shoulder saying "I don't understand any of this,you're all weird..."

Must go and work....

Bang on the nose, Pogle! Have some wedding cake. It would be a shame to waste it.

CJ, Michael is a very nice driving instructor from a very enjoyable series of books about the Casson family by Hilary McKay. The interrupted wedding is from Caddy Ever After but the first in the series is Saffy's Angel.

MCP all!

AIBU to think he won't say anything?

hello hello!

I am here! Pogle, have emailed you back.

Totally, totally stuck on everyone's.

...it wouldn't be so bad, if only he had some manners. I'm not used to consorting with peasants...

Yes,got it ,Treacle - and I've emailed you,Moomin...

Was Moomin not right about the horses,Treacle - cos you still sound as if that would fit!
