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?

Oh dear, you still sound exactly like Aravis to me, Treacle. MCP! (Off to e-mail you now)

Pogle, DH has often said we sound like complete lunatics but he always adds that we're very well-read lunatics, which is something.

...He never liked her. But I've always been kind to him...

[Grin] I quite fancy having "Well read Lunatic" on a T shirt...

Yes, I am, Moomin! Sorry, totally missed that

Not having the most intelligent of days today. Am now sinking my woes in a large glass of pink champagne at my desk and trying to pretend to the rest of the office that I'm not slightly tipsy...

I am definitely a well read lunatic. Maybe I should make us all badges.

MCP!

You are managing to drink pink champagne at work?
Wow,I am impressed(though sympathetic,if you are are drowning your sorrows!) - our tipple at work is cold coffee... (client: ooh,drink your coffee,it'll get cold - me:yes,that's Ok I'm used to it...sigh)

AIBU to love my aunt?

Pink champagne in the office! How decadent, Treacle. The classiest I ever got was a coffee with froth on top!

I would love a badge saying "Well read Lunatic".

...It was an accident, anyway. I was trying to protect him. She was so angry with him for shouting a warning...

On this thread, yes YABVU, Pogle! But no doubt you have your reasons. MCP!

Sadly the champagne is not a usual thing for us either - or perhaps I should say fortunately, I'm not sure I'd get much done otherwise!

Moomin, yours is sounding very familiar but I need more clues, please!

Still stuck on everyone else's...

AIBU to have two lovers?

Treacle, are they twins?

A bit greedy perhaps, Treacle. I'm also wondering if you're in Camomile Lawn territory.

MCP all!

...I thought she would hurt him. I was just trying to pull her away. Why did I ever marry such a sour, spiteful nag...

treacle, are you a prince and he a pauper?

Sorry everyone, I didn't mean to post an AIBU and run...

May I have a blue t-shirt please? well-read lunatics - i love it, as good as dd1's 'Buffy staked Edward'

anyway my uncle, I wish he would get married, he keeps bringing all these girls to our house for inspection, so to speak.

Ooh, quite fancying a Van Helsing staked Edward t-shirt now, if there is such a thing.

Still NIMCP here!

...We were struggling and she bit me hard. So I shoved her away and she fell...

Actually if it wasn't going to out me to any passing mumsnetter I'd like a t-shirt saying 'I Spend Too Much Time On AIBU Books.....'

Moomin,that doesn't sound good - have you killed her then?
Everyone else,NIMCP!

...anyway,I do love her - I think Mum wishes she was a bit more like other people,but I think she's cool...

Well, they could certainly narrow you down to a member of a small group of time-wasting bookworms.

Your one is beginning to niggle a bit, Pogle. MCP!

...I'm afraid she is dead. And the boy's disappeared. But I'm sure he won't say anything. We've always been pals...

...she was a teacher,but she doesn't work now.Mum thinks I should call her Auntie but I don't, I just call her by her name.She doesn't call me by my proper name either...

MCP!

Morning, all!

And MCP!

...No princes sadly, but none of us are that poor either, since our act's been doing so well...

Evening all. Have dragged myself away from the Marlowes to come here and effusively thank Pogle for scanning all this and CJ for emailing it to me. I am so enjoying it.

Mwah mwah!!

Pogle, your AIBU is sounding so familiar but it's hding over the darkest recesses of my mind - MCP!

Glad you're enjoying it,Pol!

...she's got a boyfriend now,they came to watch me play my violin at school.(She doesn't usually come to things)He's really nice...

are you hiding a massive secret about your identity, treacle?

yours sounds faintly familiar Moomin, bit it might just be too much Foyle's War!

M C P !

Budge up in the boat and pass the chocolate please. Completely NIMCP here.

...If I shift her and say she slipped on the basement steps, they'll believe it, won't they? Of course, I've got to get Emmy out of the house before I call anyone...

Evening all!

Act,Treacle? Circus,theatre?
Yours sounds as if it ought to be recognisable,Moomin...
Do you live with your Uncle,Snow?

...but now she's gone all weird and I can't talk to her anymore.Mum says she's seeing a shrink.She says she is the same as she always was but better - but I liked her the way she was before...

lost ... lost ... lost ...

Me too, CJ! Good thing we've got a good supply of rations in the boat.

Mine was also a film, by the way, in which no one disparaged the Swiss for inventing cuckoo clocks (always wanted one but when DH went to Switzerland and saw the prices he fell out of the shop and brought us home chocolate and Moomin mugs instead)

...I wonder how she knew about Emmy. The boy knew because he saw us in the tea shop. But he wouldn't have split on his old pal Baines...

After some judicious googling, Moomin, I suspect he will split on his old pal Baines, despite the zoo and the ginger pop!

...I suppose I am hiding quite a big secret about my identity - mind you, there are a lot of strange characters doing the music halls...

Morning, all! Well done, Treacle, I am The Fallen Idol of The Basement Room, depending on which title you prefer. Have some ginger pop and a ticket to the zoo.

Now, might you be a male impersonator with Sapphic tastes?

NIMCP on everyone else's.
