The one before the BESHory Towers. Easy one for summer: I have dug up a fishing pond in the middle of the Palace, put a roof light over it, got some fishin' sticks and put some Gershwin on. Salad's providing Elderflower Fizz, served by newbs in topless bikinis. Could life be better?

I suppose you could read I, Claudius but I personally find Graves rather a bore...

There's an Edith Wharton too, but I haven't been on speaking terms with that bitch since Ethan Frome.

Headbanger · 30/07/2010 15:33

Aries...... ..... surely ... SURELY I didn't just see you tell me the end of the last book?!?!?!?

ginhag · 30/07/2010 15:35

yep I just read that too... takes the shine off the discovery somewhat

ginhag · 30/07/2010 15:36

not that I have a right to complain as I haven't told you about any grown up books.

PerfectDromedary · 30/07/2010 15:36

I have read - and liked - but as any fule kno it is called I, Clavdivs.

I like the Whartons I have read. What is wrong with this Ethan Frome?

Ariesgirl · 30/07/2010 15:37

Soz. My mind is so elsewhere and all over the place I forgot I wasn't just talking to Drom about a kids' book.

PerfectDromedary · 30/07/2010 15:38

Is not the end of the last book, per se. Well, I suppose it is, but not in a spoilerish way, in that Aries hasn't given away the plot, exactly.

Ariesgirl · 30/07/2010 15:39

Did I say I was having a shit day? Well I am.

Headbanger · 30/07/2010 15:42

Drom Ethan Frome is the most self-consciously tragic novel(la) I have ever read. Very nearly of 'Done because we was too many' proportions. Will tear your guts out and stamp on 'em.

Yes, One Clavdivs, the OM calls it! I watched the tellybits as a wee child, in the school library's single video booth: quite some education, as you can imagine. Then the librarian found out and I was severely disciplined.

Gin!!!! Hope you're feeling bonny, luvva. Your spirit forever illumines the Palais!

ginhag · 30/07/2010 15:43

mmmmmmmwah. It's alright! Sorry you are having shit day

ginhag · 30/07/2010 15:45

ginhag · 30/07/2010 15:46

ginhag · 30/07/2010 15:47

Headbanger · 30/07/2010 15:48

Har! Or this...

Headbanger · 30/07/2010 15:50

URGH. That is not nice .

My Mum always says to run a warm bath and wee in the water because it hurts less . Works though .

PerfectDromedary · 30/07/2010 15:50

Balls to UTI, ginnyreckon. Has you drucks?

Ginhag is the absinthefairy. Like Kylie.

ginhag · 30/07/2010 15:51

Oh, absinthe. Prague. Messy.

The memories...

Terrifyingly I have absolutely no desire to drink alcohol in even the teeniest amount anymore!

Which is a total first actually. This BOC must be stricter than Mani.

I really really mean it that you should all by the book what I done did link. It is amaaaaazing and beautiful.

Ariesgirl · 30/07/2010 15:52

I used to get I Claudius Clavdivs (?) mixed up with Up Pompeii.

ginhag · 30/07/2010 15:53

Picking up prescription bit later. Its not agony, its gone higher up and is mostly achy (and slightly more dangerous up there obv)

Ariesgirl · 30/07/2010 15:54

Ouch - UTIs. Poor Ginny.

PerfectDromedary · 30/07/2010 15:54

I just went back to my thread - having decided that I had been a bit U and therefore buggered off - and found someone accusing me of having made "a personal lifestyle choice". I assume a "choice" to be obese. The level of fat-shaming language that thread provoked...Words fail me.

StinkyWizzleteats · 30/07/2010 15:56

Sorry you is having shitness FairyWhaleArial. Please accept this walnut whip (minus walnut as I ate it).

StinkyWizzleteats · 30/07/2010 16:01

QuickieMartSquishy when are you off to the GP? How long have you been trying? Do your cycles vary loads?

Ariesgirl · 30/07/2010 16:05

There were some particular bitches amongst that lot weren't there Drom. I don't call many people bitches - well I do but not in a real way. Ignore them. You're lovely.

ginhag · 30/07/2010 16:15

SHIT.

massive cock up at work. I hate everything and I want to cry.
