The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia

Welcome to The BESH Republic Of Rulvakia. The national drink is of course gin, state funded to get you into a state. We have many traditions and customs, such as sechsing, swearing for the fun of it (optional) and urinating on little white sticks.
Enemy of the state is Droid, who must be heckled heartily should it put in an appearance. There is an ongoing lottery to win a baybee, being granted citizenship of The Republic is your ticket to the lottery.

As a democracy all members are entitled to put forward any customs or rules they would like and we can all adopt important but silly titles if we like. See the George Carlin sketch about hats and religion and make your own mind up about whether you would like a ceremonial hat to accompany whichever title/role you bestow upon yourself.

Newcomers should find and complete the BESHtionnaire so we can make sure you are cynical and non-fluffy enough to be granted Citizenship.

Argh! rolly! Congratulations!

Something like that, LP (and bugsy, whose question i shamelessly ignored the other day) but I iz a hard-hearted BESH, innit, so am suppressing any girly squeeeeeeing :)

AlwynAndTheChipmunks... I shall now go back and read your Rulvakian immigration quiz BESHtionnaire (well done for INITIATIVE in finding it yourself, btw. V good) and consider.

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 09/06/2012 18:47

shreds I don't think I'll go back to GP since I'm waiting for a specialist appointment unless I run out of the good painkillers!
Cheers to world gin day :)
So tell us more about yourself alwyn!.......
What happened to striptease? Did her BESHtionnaire and promptly vanished! Are we intimidating?!
I have had a nice catch up with my preggo friend. I explained we were trying to win a baybee but it wasn't too straightforward for us but we should be in 'normal' ranges now. She was great because while she talked about her bump she wasn't too smug about it and talked to me about other stuff too.

Northey · 09/06/2012 18:49

shreddies, I didn't even realise you were the newest, so nicely settled are you.

alwyn · 09/06/2012 19:19

Never mind bugs - I'm just in a bit of denial about the fact I will be 30 soon. So just planning on drinking more gin and forgetting about it!! Course, will be moot point if I get upduffed, as I won't be able to drink on my birthday anyway!

So, I'm 29, married to CGH (computer geek husband) for 4 years now, been together for 10ish. I'm a secondary school teacher doing my first year of teaching (yeah, I'm slow on the career uptake) and we're TTC #1 (first cycle and that). Hoping to win a baybee sooner rather than later!

faith I think striptease got a BFP and did a kitten!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 09/06/2012 20:43

Looks like she's had a rough time of it :(

I luff that you came in prepared with a TLA for your fella als! I wouldn't worry about the career thing, I didn't qualify as a nurse til I was 26.

So I'm faith. I'm a nurse specially old crumblies been wed to MSB (Mr Squidgy Baybee) for 3 years. Came off the pill Christmas 2009 - MSB was scared he wouldn't be a good dad til DSis had a baybee who adored him from the outset. I see our ttc as this: year one - fruitless unprotected sechs; year two - investigated why we weren't winning a baybee; year three - win a baybee currently half way through year three so I'm being optimistic!

Gosh. I appear to have wandered into a CLUSTERDIFF! Well done, Beshies. I reckon it's the vit D. It is known to play a role in fertility and we all got a good blast of it a couple of weeks ago.

Oh, and welcome to the newby.

I had the first day of my marksmanship course today. On the measured exercise, I did the best in the class. KFZK also kicked arse (was second in the measured exercise and I think got more bullseyes than me overall). We are considering quitting law and becoming assassins, a la Mr & Mrs Smith. He says I have to get the outfits Jolie wore.

I managed to sneak in an OPK between shots, and got a positive so we are all systems go for swi. It has been a busy day! I hope the swimmers can get on target too.

alwyn · 09/06/2012 21:26

I don't think either of us (me or CGH) would look good in ANYTHING worn by JoliePitt.

Good luck for your SWI euro! It is CGH's birthday tomorrow - luckily that fits in with our EOD plans!

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 09/06/2012 21:41

I am too wobbly for anything Anj has worn. Ever.

Northey · 09/06/2012 21:50

Ahem. I was once told I looked like Angelina Jolie Dark hair, dark eyes, impressive rack (and the chap in question didn't seem to notice the lack of stunning beauty to go with those things...)

euro, you killa beyatch!

alwyn · 09/06/2012 21:51

I'm even going for the hospital gowns worn in Girl: Interrupted. Still a no for me.

alwyn · 09/06/2012 21:51

Was he trying to get in your pants norf?

Northey · 09/06/2012 21:56

He had in fact already been in my pants, chipmunk. Perhaps he was flushed with post-sechs love. Or bleariness.

alwyn · 09/06/2012 22:16

At least it wasn't a pre-sechs compliment. Good on him Grin

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 09/06/2012 22:49

I used to get Britney Spears likeness comments when I was blonde and skinnier albeit never post coital seeing as I have never been blonde with MSB

Just watching Alan Carr Summer Specstacular. Tis funny despite the Beaver being there

alwyn · 09/06/2012 22:59

CGH is playing LA Noire. I am MNing to keep myself occupied :)

HaveALittleFaithBaby · 09/06/2012 23:06

MSB has come through from watching le football. Sometimes it's quite nice to have some space though! We felt on top of each other in the rented house and not in a good way

eurochick · 09/06/2012 23:48

faithy yep, we're au natural. Well, at least until I start downregging towards the end of this cycle. There are mixed opinion as to whether or not you should try on a downregging cycle but there is an Australian study that indicates it does no harm. So this is the last chance saloon for us.

Oooo, norfy you sound hot. I was compared to Kate Winslet in my younger days. I can sort of see it if I squint a lot but I am not entirely convinced.

FriendofDorothy · 10/06/2012 00:07

I dream of being compared to some fabulous skinny wench. The only person I have ever been compared to is Dawn French.

Have just got back form a fabulous gig. Brilliant but I am knackered!

Northey · 10/06/2012 06:57

I am not hot, europaTitanic. Sadly.

Music or comedy, dot?

FriendofDorothy · 10/06/2012 09:45

It was music. I really intereting blues/folk duo called Hat Fitz and Cara Robinson. Truly awesome gig!

An ex was convinced I looked like Jean Shrimpton. I am 5'3 with a big bottom. People do see funny things sometimes.

Sure the rest of you are all hot to trot though.

LauraPalmerish · 10/06/2012 11:09

I had an ex who thought I looked like Lena Horn

Hmm
alwyn · 10/06/2012 11:46

The only time I have been compared to a "sleb" is when we were coming up with pub quiz nicknames.

Mine is Annie. After both Anne Robinson and Aileen Quinn of the film of the same name.

Hmph.

LauraPalmerish · 10/06/2012 12:03
