AIBU Books Game Part Six

999 replies

MoominMymbleandMy · 26/01/2010 19:16

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?

Hmm... MCP everyone!

Poor old Eowyn - I'm glad she ended up with Faramir. I always pictured him as a bit of a dish

...but it's all gone a bit far, I never meant for the soldiers to come here...

CJCregg · 06/05/2010 12:53

Oh Lord, you've gone all fantasy again ...

OK, Pogle, I'll read the goblins

No idea what anyone's talking about.

AIBU to fancy a roll in the hay?

MoominMymbleandMy · 06/05/2010 13:19

Afternoon, all!

I felt a bit sorry for poor Faramir. Second best again.

So would that be with some cider, CJ?

No ideas on yours, Treacle, and my plans to read the goblins and the Marlows were thwarted by DD and DH having the cheek to need the surviving laptop last night.

MCP!

...Not to mention my dubious political character and dead-end job as a hotel detective. What a catch I am...

steamedtreaclesponge · 06/05/2010 13:48

Hmm... no idea on yours, Moomin, MCP!

Doesn't sound U at all to me, CJ!

...I've been working her father's pub for ages, but she never seemed to notice me...

MoominMymbleandMy · 06/05/2010 14:10

Ooh, sudden thought, CJ, are you pioneering?

Treacle, NIMCP!

...And now someone's denounced my grandmother. She's been dead for twenty years but it's another black mark against me...

OP posts:
CJCregg · 06/05/2010 23:31

No, I 'bain't a pioneer, and I bain't drinkin' ciiiiiiiider neither

steamedtreaclesponge · 07/05/2010 09:13

MCP, CJ and Moomin!

...I must say, I think tying her to the bed went a bit far, but they're obviously very keen to catch him...

Pogleswood · 07/05/2010 09:57

Unfortunately I managed to muddle Treacle's tying to the bed bit with CJ fancying a roll in the hay - leaving me feeling I'd strayed onto the sort of thread I usually avoid

However now I've got you separated again I am still none the wiser,so MCP!

Yours does sound terribly familiar,Moomin....

MoominMymbleandMy · 10/05/2010 10:57

Still stumped on the roll in the hay and the tying to the bed, so MCP!

...Fortunately, I know someone who can fiddle the records so I can get on with helping my American girlfriend with her story about the Olympics...

OP posts:
steamedtreaclesponge · 10/05/2010 21:56

...and now she's dead! I can't believe she'd kill herself to save him...

MCP!

PS - Saw a gorgeous moomin jug in an interiors shop today and thought of you, Moomin!

Pogleswood · 11/05/2010 07:05

Just drifting by to say morning,and MCP!

pollywollydoodle · 11/05/2010 11:58

now cj is that a cheese roll or an "ahem" roll in the hay...neither partic unreasonable imho

treacle, i am probably way off track but does the book involve burke and hare style body snatching but in usa?

moomin, no idea but the beginning in partic sounded like my kind of book

steamedtreaclesponge · 11/05/2010 12:42

Morning, all!

Just reorganised all my bookshelves, am feeling rather pleased with myself

...Right period, polly, (I think) but no bodysnatchers here, as far as I know! Maybe a couple of ghosts though, now they've shot that pesky highwayman...

ElephantsAndMiasmas · 11/05/2010 16:46

Totally in the dark about these having been away toooo long!

AIBU to wish I was a man?

MoominMymbleandMy · 11/05/2010 18:27

I haven't been anywhere, Elephants, and I'm completely in the dark!

Organised bookshelves, Treacle! I think you should buy yourself the Moomin jug as a reward. You're beginning to sound like some sort of ballad but I'm blessed if I can get any further.

MCP all!

...She's hoping if the truth comes out about the regime the Americans will boycott the Games...

OP posts:
Pogleswood · 11/05/2010 19:38

Oh dear - still baffled,and now I need to go and sort out DS,will be back later...or tomorrow...

I love organising my bookshelves,Treacle - it is one of my soothing activities to do in times of stress!

SnowWoman · 11/05/2010 19:44

Are you in love with Bess the landlord's daughter Treacle?

CJCregg · 11/05/2010 20:48

Not a cheese roll, no - one of the other kind! I just can't resist him, the sexy beast ...

pollywollydoodle · 11/05/2010 22:10

is he literally a beast, cj?

MoominMymbleandMy · 12/05/2010 01:35

Is it the influence of the sukebind, CJ?

I love organised bookshelves too but DS thinks it is far more fun to pull the books out, remove any dustjackets and scatter them far and wide. And he has much more will-power than me.

...This won't go down well with the authorities if they get to hear about it because they are very keen on having the 1936 Olympics here...

OP posts:
CJCregg · 12/05/2010 12:18

You are clever, Moomin! I can't resist a good mollocking ... shame I keep having illegitimate babies!

NI on anyone else's - please could someone do a book I know?

MoominMymbleandMy · 12/05/2010 13:50

Ooh, proof wild guesses sometimes come off! Never mind, CJ, you just take the advice of Miss High and Mighty up at the farm - might be against nature but it works!

MCP all!

...Life was much simpler when I was a homicide detective with the Berlin Criminal Police. But what's the point in catching criminals when the biggest bunch of crooks of all is in charge...

OP posts:
Pogleswood · 12/05/2010 14:18

Ok,CJ - so what've you read that we haven't done yet then? (I am assuming that you won't be keen on "AIBU to take the amulet from the elves".....)

MCP,although I'm not sure more clues will help with yours,Moomin!

pollywollydoodle · 12/05/2010 14:27

ok moomin, by the power of google, are you Bernie in the fasionable Adlon Hotel?

AIBU to believe i am a superhero?

Pogleswood · 12/05/2010 14:40

Well,polly - are you faster than a speeding bullet? Any other interesting powers,at all?If so then YANBU,if not...

MCP!
