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?

so, peter pan? the water babies?

Pogle was Tinkerbell from Peter Pan, polly. The link was to the pictures that were in the (falling-apart) copy of Peter Pan we had when I was little, and I guess I assumed that you would recognise them too

Yes, there is a rather nasty neighbour too, with his chavvy big car.......

thanks pol...should have really...not very good at id'ing books tonight...

Not quite sure I've got the right book, Poledra. Would you be planning a mass drugging of the local wildlife, at all?

...Plus she used to be engaged to him, surely it's a bit off for him to be following her around all the time now we're married, even putting himself in danger for her?

You're absolutely right, Elephants, I am the champion of the world (guess what DD1's bedtime story has been recently ).

Morning everyone,but all I've got to post really is MCP...

just donethis bought some more bags onto the raft....get shaking!

Mmm, ice-cream! (pulls out solar-powered freezer)

Hello all- not caught up at all at all...

Morning, all!

MCP...

...I don't really care about him, but he gives me some nice presents...

Ohh good Poledra, how nice for you! That's cheered me up after my Great Tinkerbell Idiocy Incident.

What does he want from you, treacle?

...Who knows what he sees in her anyway? Great clumpy thing with her third-hand boots and faint odour of cheese. Still all the boys seem to want to take care of her. And me about to become a mother of eight!

are you in ireland elephants?

...Where is this 'Ireland'? I come from Long Lake, but I've moved to be with my husband. It's tradition but it does make for a lonely life, barely allowed outside and with only my brothers and all my brothers-in-law for company...

Ah - was she briefly engaged to your husband, Elephants? I think you'll find there's nothing to worry about, what with the size difference and all!

...I expect he wants to marry me or something. I don't really care what he wants though, I just like the attention...

...In that case I'd better hurry him off to defend her from the hiver, and tell him not to bother coming back if he fails!

Congratulations, Treacle, you get a pinch of Jolly Sailor and a wink from the ghost of Granny Aching. (I was Jeannie from Pratchett's "A Hatful of Sky" for anyone still in the dark)

Aaw... I was hoping for some of Tiffany's famous Lancre Blue! But I suppose having something like Horace in the house would just be asking for trouble

...but perhaps the best part is telling my teacher all about my conquests. She's so disapproving...

Sorry, Treacle, perhaps I can throw in an hour of Oswald the tidy poltergeist to cheer you up?
So she's definitely not encouraging you to seduce anyone, then, treacle?

Pah... NIMCP!

Ah thanks, I could definitely do with an Oswald in my life! Perhaps he could rearrange my kitchen cupboards for me?

...No, she thinks I'm frivolous and silly. But at least I'm not boring like her. Mind you, she does seem to be going out more often these days - I even saw her in a pink dress the other night!

sits by llandb, harrumphs, slurps coffee and helps paddle on the other side as raft is going round in circles....

Oh,now I've missed a Hatful of Sky! Bah!

Why are you telling your teacher about your conquests,Treacle? Sounds a bit unusual?

...Well, I'm still at school, but I'm allowed out to parties and the like. But my prissy cousin now seems to be attracting my admirer's attention - I can't think what he sees in her!

Sorry Pogle

You sound very young treacle, is it the 1920s where you are? Erm, is your cousin the teacher?

AIBU to trick my DH?

I'm just sitting on the raft, spooning ice cream and gazing out to sea ... don't mind me ...

Oh, Treacle, your's is tantalising - I'm sure I've read it at some point. Mind you, I thought for a minute it might be Villette, till I went and looked up the plot summary and discovered that I have forgotten large chunks of the story.

MCP!!

And where did that Aberrant Apostrophe come from?!?
