Roll up, roll up for the BESH fun fair in the land (30s)

[Truffkin]

Oh yes, this place is filled with your finest hormonal roller coasters, dodgems (mainly enjoyed by the spermz) and the finest side shows you'll find anywhere. Come and squeeze our buzzwams to check for imaginary aches & pains, play 'guess when I'm ovulating' (made all the harder when you're as wizened and decrepit as we are) and indulge in a little light WOOFLing if you're feeling up to the challenge. There's are even droid shies for taking out your pain on the beeping little fecker when he comes along to rain on your parade.

So, if you've been TTC since the chairoplanes were the latest attraction, let's hear about it.

Dammit. That's the twentieth person that's refused to have him. One of my colleagues loves cats and has several, but even she wasn't impressed when I offered to wrap him up for her last birthday :o

To be fair boo I think you need to work on your sales technique. Our cat wouldn't even wake during our antics, unless one of us accidentally kicked him. In which case he would just bugger off in a huff. He has been known to sleep right through though (not sure what that says about our performance)

Will try and find a cute photo to post on Flickr....

I have just laughed out loud at the BESH chat today. Bitey you rock

I thought I had timed holiday (going on Thurs) well with potential ovulation but I had weird pains yesterday & as I'm refusing to chart have no idea. Oh well. We might even manage sechs for fun.

I don't have a cat. My mum does. It's called Whinge. Because thats what it does.

We call ours Fucknut, His real name is Tim.

Giving the wean spirits is so 70s isn't it and people are so judgemental these days.

Seriously, have just had my mum send in emergency supplies of teething gel. He's had a bit of Calpol. Just one of those things really and we think he's having a little wobbly about the new house/strange surroundings.

Good luck to all the interviewees! :)

ries JB used to get put off by the dogs watching. These days he doesn't break his stride even if he gets "nosed" during proceedings.

Am now posting on 3 threads, and really How do those MN people who appear everywhere have any idea who they're talking to?

truff you forgot to add buy a moon cup and move into 1 bed wite apartment, to ensure ironidiff I've been winking alot lately, am I turning into a dodgy uncle?
My brother has a cat who he paid a huge amount of money to transport around the world, consequently his DP won't let it out of the house as he's too expensive I don't feel that way about felines. Though will admit to have enjoyed stroking the odd pussy. ba dum tish.

oh Lordy, I've killed them all

Can't find the SESH thread moley.. Not that I have anything to of use contribute :)

We have a cat called Delilah she lies on the pillow during the secs and miaows her encouragement. It's all very well until she tries to climb on DH's back when he is on the job, so to speak!

Should've known you'd want a look in Everyone be welcome- it shall mostly be a monologue about the mind bending logic of a 2 year old . [It's under MESH in post natal clubs]. Sorry about your holiday bombs away, hope you get some quality dad time, and rest too. We shall keep stalwart watch over you, and proffer canapes and spiked hot chocolate (and gentle chinese burns, because it's not nice to beat the diffed)

StarryCunt, you have killed this thread at least.

Why so quiet, BESHes? Have you all left without telling me because you hate me?

Hello I'm still here but had some sort of insane heavy tiredness last night so was in bed at an early hour. Am having some sort of unexpected FFJ goings on today, which has me somewhat. I'm expecting egg laying on Sunday and I'm only CD10 so am hoping it's just a rogue patch of snot preceding a nice predictable lay at the weekend. Still, I shall be encouraging TGB to do his duty this evening in addition to the Wednesday to Saturday shagathon I have already planned in. Oh he will be pleased.

I might come along to the MESH club and offer my advice on bringing up toddlers as I know how much parents love being offered advice by non-parents, especially on MN mwahahahaha.

Apparently TGB's great Aunt used to give them all a small glass of port each morning when they spent their summers in Ireland. This was to keep them all slightly sedated so they didn't run wild for the whole holiday.

What's wrong with that ?

No, no I was advocating it for the small FESH babs. It's advice you see

Have just seen the news and am plunged into gloom. Do I want to bring a child into a world where demonstrators are bombed, 250,000 people were subjected to wartimes experiments, cathedrals topple into crowded squares in earthquakes and health services are tendered out to private, profit making companies? I don't think I do.

aries that was always my thinking too. But then I was told my some very old and wise people that is is exactly the people who think like that who ought to have children so that we can raise them to try and learn from the mistakes of the past and build a better future and these are people who lived through the world wars so they knew a thing or two about despairing for the human race. Yes Libya is a mess right now but actually what has happened in Egypt is relatively heartening as it happened with the minimum of blood shed. Remains to be seen how it turns out but there is hope that they will have a democratic future.

Can't help you on the earthquake front tho except to say I dont think you get that many in Cornwall.

But Aries we need good sane people like us (yes really) bringing up children to couteract these hideous things. Our potential children could be:

Dr's or medics, or carers to help injured and vulnerable people.

Scientists and pharmacologists helping develop new drugs, or marine biologists finding ways to preserve ocean stock.

Creative, writing or acting or singing or creating beautiful art to lift people's moods and bring joy and emotion into other people's lives.

Teachers to help inspire another genration.

Chefs or caterers or bakers to create amazing food.

Or architects, or policemen, or chiropractors, or vets or whatever.

Whatever they do, I'm sure they will help enrich the world in general and do their job well, and help bring some positivity, humour and empathy into other people's lives, because we will be their parents.

Beautifully put BB

I know you two are right, though seriously I will never be able to afford to send any kid to university in order to be one of those things. Though people will always need plates. Or their toilets unblocked.

I hear the world is going to end next year anyway

Sorry, everyone. I'm a gloomy puss. I m seized with existentialist angst every few months or so. There just seems to be so much bad news at the moment. And in my gloomier moments it seems the people who want to do the right thing and bring up the children with morals and goodness to do the right thing and take responsibility for themselves and the environment are becoming fewer and fewer in number.

And BB, yes indeed that was wonderfully put

OH well, as my job doesn't fit in to any of those categories I"m clearly an arsehole. I may start bombing my colleagues. Some of them deserve it. Yet for all that list I do something which all of you use on a daily basis and many would claim they'd be "lost" without!

(I design toilet paper.)

Aries I was asked to sign a paper last week to say I couldn't claim if my house disappeared in an earthquake. I hope this helps.

I think the weather doesn't help Rie. All you can do is do the best you can in your own way (which I know you do). Can you get outside for a bit and look at the daffs and blossom coming out? Helps counteract the shitness.

I had a pint of cider outside a pub on Saturday, without my coat on and I felt warm with the sun on my back, so it must be nearly spring.

AlpineHorn you fit into the "whatever" category and you regularly put a smile on my face. And bog roll is a very important commodity as we would be up shit creek (literally) without it. Especially in our house.
