The End is Nigh! Batten down the hatches in the BESH Bunker

[FrankelDeBeauvoir]

A wordy fred title I know, but it's too early to think of something snappier!

Get ready for the end of the world: grab your OFRS, your emergency gin supply and join us shrivelled harridans in the BESH Bunker.

Admittance is only permitted on production of a successfully completed BESHtionnaire (hint, check out previous BESH threads)

Sorry to make you vom. Buckets of prawns by ways of apologies!

I hope dor has her baybee on the 13th for that is my wedding anniversary. The year before last I was certain we wouldn't be eating a million courses of French food with wines because I would be diffed or baybee'd the next year. I was still highly optimistic last.year. A BESHbaybee will be a nice anniversary present and will give me hope.

We have done well to make it to our anniversary. This has been a trying year for us.

I am due a week tomorrow. Feeling ginormous right now. I still hope he might come on 12/12/12!

I'm placing bets that DorBoy will show up on the 21st. I had a premonition an' all...

And, I, too think Faife is having a girl.

I got the magic win (the one that finally stuck) at 38 and I will turn 39 in my 39th week of diffage. Abandon not all ye hope, laydees!

I'm up in Scotland!

Oops that was for winks

Pah, three years? This will be my fourth year of "maybe next year" Christmas menkulling

I have no bets to place, but I have loads of family birthdays in December. It's a good month :)

Hello Laura! Hurrah, another AncientCroneBESHwin!

Are we now doing... Christmas baybee heartbreak oneupmanship

Bluey, I thought you were in Scotland. Because of the "Ach"

The ach and wains made me think you were maybe from Norn Iron, blu.

I love the northern Irish accent.

Some day rie I will make you cake and talk at you :)

If I don't get jailed for killing my noisy upstairs neighbour first

I love accents! Think its one of the reasons I liked mr df so much when we met...he has a very nice English one

Morning ladies! I've got a lot of catching up to do but just wanted to say a quick hello this morning. I got back last night. I am absolutely flipping shattered due to jetlag but at least I have today to recover. The holiday was awesome (apart from one episode on a diveboat when I got hugely seasick and couldn't stop hurling over the side). I tried to log on when I heard about K Middy's pregnancy, but although I could access most of MN from The Maldives, this thread was off limits. Maybe it breaks Islamic guidelines?!?

Welcome home euro! And hurrah for a lovely holiday, despite the puking no need for kidney punches

We still have a tiny nephew here, he is watching some Disney with SB, very cute! The elder one was just picked up for swimming lesson, he was very disappointed he couldn't stay with us. I can confirm Sunday starts a lot earlier with small people in the house...

I think I'll be ready to go back to bed in two hours :)

And sweep-stake wise, I reckon Dot to drop on 18/12/2012. And to optimise the chances of some BESH winning faif's sweep-stake, I'll go for a boy. I have so much difficulty believing you're this far on. It does not feel so badly like it should be me too. I honestly had not envisaged the whole getting halfway yet...

Ooo a BESH-laying sweepstake! I'm betting the 7lb 10 on 17th

December is a very busy month for present buying here. As well as Crimbo, it was my dad's yesterday and its my brother's on Tuesday

I haven't seen Strictly yet Rie but agree that it's time for either Lisa or Nicky to go.

On the accent front, I have a West Country twang, being from Bristol. I've lived in East Angular for almost 13 years though so (I think) it's not as strong now. Except when I saw words like "tractor"

I too am on my third "next Christmas I will have a baybee" sad]

Apologies for overall lack of comprehension there . Dodgy typing, missing words, etc

Oh and welcome back Euro!

Glad you had a naice holibob euro, I'm not at all. Oh no. ok maybe a bit! Sounds glorious!

drizz you are luffly. I never got my head round getting past the 12 week scan myself. I do recall finding it mad that I'd be over halfway by The X factor final Christmas but anticipated on being massive by now. Since I've still not gained any weight (oh so pleased about that) I do have a definite bump but don't feel massive yet.

Accent wise, MSB grew up in Luton but moved to Manc aged 10 so he sounds more Mancunian unless he's talking to his Nan :) I grew up near Brummie land but had elocution lessons so don't really have a discernible accent. I can put on the Brummie as I please and after 4 years in Wales (uni) can do a pretty good Welsh :)

Which bit of Wales though, Faif? Are we talking Nessa, Huw Edwards or those northern Welsh types

Ah no, not the Norf! More Stacey than Nessa after for years in Cardiff.

four years

Oh. OH! Stace!

What's occuring?

Wha's appertaining?

I saw the Christmas special the other day. Chuckled like mad at "So is his name really Dave Coaches? Will your name be Nessa Coaches?"

I'm from dead near Barry

I watched the one when Mick was on the news and they went bowling last night. And the KFC at the end!

I lived in Llandaff in halls, then Heath for 2 years and then a rather entertaining year in Canton
