AIBU Books Game Part Seven

[CJCregg]

Hi all, here we are again ...

As always, everyone welcome to pile in with AIBU book synopses, as long as you bring ice cream or something equally tempting for when we're stuck.

To continue mine - I'm in charge but it's terribly difficult to keep control. I don't know how long I can keep their respect. I didn't ask to be in charge ...

...We spend all our time together, but she's always getting us into trouble, and there are dangerous people about.

Evening all!

Supposed to be working, so won't get into another Jilly debate tonight, or get drawn into exciting raft delicacies ...

Not the North Pole, no. Although it is pretty cold here. We're not looking for anything particular, we're delivering important despatches!

Evening! I had been avoiding posting until I had something constructive to post but that doesn't seem to be happening...

So Treacle,this siege...castle? fort? are you being asked to pray,instead of being sent reinforcements??

CJ,I am confused(even more confused than usual ) Are you a:delivering important despatches,or b:in a situation where,and I quote "no one seems to know exactly what our mission is"
Please clarify!

MCP,all!

That'll teach me to post late ...

Well, yes, we are delivering important despatches but the thing is, we kind of suspect that there might be a bit more to it than that. I don't think we've been told the whole truth, and I suspect we may be in danger.

Any clearer now?

CJ, you minx, are you doing a story within a story, ie Gondalling?!

No ideas on your besieged castle, unless it's another of those pesky wishes gone wrong, Treacle.

llandb, DD has two days running brought me a pretty spider to admire and we had to stop the car today to rescue a rather daft one that had woven a web over the wing mirror and was flapping helplessly in the slipstream. I thought of you.

Oh yes, AIBU clue, knew there was something.

...And after meeting them at the airport I looked for the Yazdans in the Baltimore phone book. The girls were just meant to be friends...

Hmm... MCP everyone!

...No, not praying. We have this artifact which is supposed to have special powers but I think it's all nonsense. Still, I'm off to look and see if any help's arrived now...

Hmm, this artifact wouldn't happen to be a horn, would it, Treacle? If so, do remember not to judge a book by its cover.

MCP on your intrepid characters, CJ and Elephants!

...And I do like Ziba a lot. But I can't say I entirely approve of the way she's raising Susan...

Why, yes, it would! Would you like a new torch or a solid gold chess piece?

So,who are you,Treacle?? (with a possible supplementary question of what will the horn do? Though of course they do generally summon legions of heroes from somewhere or other!)

Moomin,the only Ziba I know is the character in NCIS,possibly spelt differently ,and I really can't see her with a small Korean baby called Susan! I hear the call of Google....

I wondered if CJ was gondalling as well...

I have no idea what's going on.

sorry llandb missed your post earlier

...not honour bound, it's just that I have no choice but to stick with her, but I wish she would do what she was told for once. I blame the lack of parents...

NACHOS!!!

Pogle, I was Trumpkin from Prince Caspian, doubting the power of Queen Susan's mighty horn! (That sounds slightly dodgy, now I read it back...)

didn't I mention that they are already covered in salsa, guacamole (one side only for the fusspots), melted cheese and sour cream?

Nachos! What Treacle said :o

Elephants are you able to shape-shift? At least before she hits puberty?

Yummy, nachos!

But I am baffled by your AIBU. MCP!

Decisions, decisions, Treacle. A torch would be useful for signalling for help from this 'ere raft, but a solid gold chessman sounds so decadent. Decadence, it is!

...And Ziba sees nothing wrong in working part time though I fear she'll regret missing this time with Susan. Why, she even puts her in a playpen!...

Oh, oh, oh, Elephants, I was just about to log off when a Northern Light dawned! Now I can go to sleep .

ooh, ooh, indeed llandb! how about a nice spyglass? you might get something for it on ebay.

Hi all!

In midst of moving house - only have internet at the old one, so popping back to email work and check in and EAT NACHOS. What an excellent idea, Elephants. Much appreciation, especially for guacamole on the side - I can do without guacamole, to be honest.

Moomin and Pogle, what took you so long? Of COURSE I was Gondalling, achieving a long-held ambition to actually BE Rupert Almeida. Oh what fun this thread is.

Got to run. No time for a new one. Be back soon, I hope.

Afternoon, all!

And good luck, CJ - that'll be me tomorrow (hideous thought, have packed virtually nothing and have a Jeeves & Wooster-themed party to go to tonight. Whoops)

AIBU to think my friend is getting himself into a big heap of trouble?

Brilliant cross-post Moomin, "ooh"s and all! Have a glass of unpoisoned Tokay.

Treacle - is her impersonating someone?

AIBU to hate my job?

Hi all, someone pass me the nachos please!

,though not at anyone here but my Outlook Express,which has gone spectacularly wrong,Bah,stupid computer,stupid email,mutter...

Well,if you hate your job,you hate your job,Elephants.Can you be more specific??

Continuing positive thoughts for the moves,CJ and Treacle! (How long have we got before you leave us,Treacle?)

MCP...

That depends on your job, Elephants! Are you working in a dangerous factory, or are you supposed to do the filing?

I'm off on the 29th

...No, he's fallen for a girl he shouldn't have, I'm sure her family won't approve...

What was CJ's, btw?

Poor you Pogle, computers are supposed to be our electronic helper things but we seem to spend so long tending to their little needs sometimes.

treacle - are you in fair verona? Or is it more of a class thing?

...it's not so much the job as the idiots I have to work with. Some people seem to enjoy it, but I assume that's because they are soft-headed as well.

Best of luck with the move, CJ, and I really hope you have a better internet provider than I do.

Poor Pogle, what I hate about computers is feeling so helpless when they go wrong. And the ensuing bill.

Treacle, we were defaulting to AF land again on CJ's. Peter's Room this time.

MCP on working with idiots and mis-matched lovers!

I'm getting a bit tired of mine so yes, some Googling or even Digging would be in order.

...And she lets Susan (Sooki was so much more appropriate) drink fizzy drinks and she even gave one to Jin Ho. No wonder her stomach hurt...

Would the sinful drink-giving have been at the Arrival Party, Moomin? If so I'm sure you will scrap the judgypants and start to get along soon...

...although there are perks, the punishments I dish out for example...

Why yes it was, Elephants! Have one of Bitsy's handwoven garments as a prize for top-notch Googling skills.

MCP on your one and Treacle's too!

AIBU to be rather annoyed with my mother?
