Ancient Egypt; where the regal BESH barge floats gently in De Nile.

Glittering seductively in the evening sun, crewed by swarthy slaves, waited on hand and foot by bare-chested manservants bearing a rudimentary form of gin.

We have golden temples decorated with hieroglyphs for sacrificial offerings (and woo from the soothsayers) if required, and The Pit is full of asses? milk.

So, put on your eye make-up that goes out as far as your ears and jewellery so weighty it leaves dents in your head and step out to survey the peasants on the banks.

Come join the 30s TTC if your womble is as ancient and crumbly as Tutankhamen! Egypt; the thread where everyone eventually gets to be a mummy whether they like it or not.

Ski, we just crossed in AIBU. I'm sure that must speak volumes.

Medee · 07/12/2010 19:26

I've been unsure all day if that meant crossed swords or just crossed paths.

Ariesgirl · 07/12/2010 19:38

Oh, just crossed paths at the same time! Made me chuckle because our sentiments were almost the same as well.

Curiosity satisfied M'dear?

Medee · 07/12/2010 20:30

yes and relieved!

PrincessBoo · 07/12/2010 20:34

Talking of crossing swords Rie - I am still waiting for you to say 'Get used to disappointment' on t'other thread.

Ariesgirl · 07/12/2010 21:01

I'm not with you Boobs. Is that from the Princess Bride? Do you know it even better than I do?

PrincessBoo · 07/12/2010 21:03

Darling, I could probably quote the whole thing off by heart.

Ariesgirl · 07/12/2010 21:03

Oh, I get you know. Did you catch my slightly narked tone? Grin

PrincessBoo · 07/12/2010 21:10

Did you miss your cue? 'Twas something like 'Who are you, I must know'.

Ok.

'No more rhymes now, I mean it'

Ariesgirl · 07/12/2010 21:19

What are you on about???? OK, I get the quotes (I am no one of consequence) but where have they come from suddenly?

PrincessBoo · 07/12/2010 21:26

We were duelling on t'other thread - the blooferlady one - hang on will go and check times and dates and shiz....

PrincessBoo · 07/12/2010 21:34

Right

see my post on 2nd Dec at 09:27 and then again at 10:55 the same day.

HesterShaw was there.

Does anybody want a peanut?

PrincessBoo · 07/12/2010 21:42

Actually on reflection I am aware than anyone reading my posts may think that the strain of ttc without success has caused me to lose my marbles completely.

I am ok, honest.

Ariesgirl · 07/12/2010 21:56

Is Boo alright? BOO DO YOU NEED THE TOILET?

starnosemole · 07/12/2010 22:21

Helloooo- I am back. I went to the there London, and it was good, upto the point when they stopped the trains leaving Euston. (only for an hour but I am not patient when sitting in the corridor). mamamia did you only go and bloomin win while I was away???!!!!??? Hooo bloody rah! Ace news well done!

I am artistically exhausted after draining every ounce of my fibrous being directing school play tonight. You will probably read reviews in the Stage tomorrow though am hoping they won't focus on the moment Buttons should have been on the stage and was still in the classroom dressing room, and ran on the stage shouting "Mrs starnosemole I haven't got me scissors".

BOO are you still with us?

PrincessBoo · 07/12/2010 22:42

Hi. Think I might be ok now. But best stay away from PB quotes or I might have another funny turn.

Bravo Starrystarrymole at being a marvellous teacher person. Xmas Grin at Buttons' mishap. Was it a one show shebang or is there a run?

That Cher Lloyd is playing in Malvern tonight, at the 3 counties showground. Apparently that Cheryl Cole is with her. I would have gone but I decided I would rather stay in and watch paint dry and converse with you lot.

Seriously though, it would be knee deep in teens and awash with hormones wouldn't it?

AlpinePony · 08/12/2010 05:29

Are you in land of Cher princessboo - one of my oldest friends lives there now - she has eschewed a life of children however, although I suspect it's got a lot to do with the reasons why so many of us find ourselves 30+ and barren, i.e., a series of seriously shit men. And beer. If you went to that thing last night I assume you were pick-pocketed.

starnose Awwww, that brings tears to my eyes. We were just discussing this morning how Bear will be on stage and will forget his lines and just sing "um diddly um diddly um diddly I" and I will stand and give him a heart-pounding ovation. I always forget words/lyrics so when I'm singing to him it usually ends in the aforementioned um diddly. I forgot me scissors miss is lovely. Not many teachers get a personal mention during the play.

owlbooty I've decorated using the theme "dog-hair chic". Not one solitary surface in this place is devoid of dog-hair and the things which don't smell of dog smell more strongly of horse. I have very few ornaments because waggy tails put pay to any of that malarky. If any cunt wants to judge me on the uncontemporary lines and interior design of my home they can fuck off before I serve the Jaffa cakes. That'll sort the men from the mice!

Ivegotmrbitey · 08/12/2010 08:17

Ooooh Jaffa cakes, can I come over alpinehostesswiththemostest I may shed some cat hair, is that ok?

AlpinePony · 08/12/2010 08:53

I can also offer (on occasion, when the Tesco fairy has visited) - Mini Bakewells and Mini Battenburg. Dog-hair optional.

Cat hair welcome. We had a cat but it took one look at little dog and fucked off to live with a family with a toddler. That should tell you all you need to know about little dog.

laurielou · 08/12/2010 13:18

Blimey, its quiet in here today. You all out shagging & Christmas drinking or some such fun?

milanomum · 08/12/2010 13:23

I think I could live on Bakewells. And vitamins.
That sounds like one wise dog by the way.

moley that play sounds like it went perfectly.

milanomum · 08/12/2010 13:25

Public holiday here
Friends coming over for grub, drinks and there might even be a bit of toddler-fighting we can watch. Can't wait.

PrincessBoo · 08/12/2010 18:25

Actually Pony I think you'll find that Cher lives in the land of Boo - me being a Princess and all. Grin Yes I live in the nearest city (which is more like a village!).

Don't worry about me Milan. Not just yet anyway.

PrincessBoo · 08/12/2010 19:42

Where are you all?

I am Xmas Angry cos our washing machine is on the blink and I am forced to go to the bloody launderette tomorrow.

LadyGoneGaga · 08/12/2010 19:55

Yuck to broken washing machines, Boo. Can you get someone out to it soon?
