The ongoing search for BFPs now leads the BESH to the barren polar wastes, in the footsteps of Scott, Shackleton and Franklin.

[ArielThePiraticalMermaid]

Pack those reindeer sleeping bags, huskies and skis - we're off to the Antarctic to look for our BFPs. Unlike Scott, we'll eat the poniez if necessary (topical joke). Let's huddle together through the Antarctic night and we'll try not to kidnap one of the emperor penguin toddlers for our very own. Bring on blizzards, pack ice, shipwreck, attacking leopard seals, voyages across the Southern Ocean in rowing boats and hazardous traverses of South Georgia in search of rescue - just like the Shackleton expedition, NO BESH WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.

(do I win the prize for most random fred ever?)

I don't have the heart to read it, I feel like death today, I can barely breathe and have a horrendous cough. I couldn't leave work and go home sick because I am so fucking indispensible apparently, and I want to huddle with rie and frank and try to help them feel better, but I can't. Sorry :(

Oh no, I see, you got someone else deleted.

It's alright, someone gave a good response to that one. I managed to stop myself saying "I want a baby so much I have remind myself why it's a bad idea to kidnap children from strangers in the street", as I thought it might harm my thus-far calm and sensible persona over there...

I just told HQ that the poster was being aggressive and that up until they joined it had been quite constructive - I don't mind people disagreeing, but I do mind them being nasty.

Never fear, it's short-lived, I shan't be resorting to cannibalism just yet.

Ooo, a badge! A BADGE!!!

What had they said?? I do love some drama.

twink! The huddle is going strong today, so get in the middle and be jiggled warmly and fishily.

I can't remember exactly, but it was directed at rie, which got my hackles up a bit more than they might have otherwise... Something along the lines of "who made you MN police" I think, with v aggressive tone.

Bitch! How dare she?

A very appropriate picture for this fred.

I prefer to let dickhead posters stay so everyone can see what a sickness they are :)

DICKHEAD NOT FUCKING SICKNESS. I ALREADY WROTE IT ONCE.

Loving that picture frank.

I was actually hoping HQ would tell her to wind her neck in rather than delete her post, rie, but my influence only goes so far... ie nowhere

Gorgeous puppies! I want them ALL!

Puppies for everyone. Out of the NHS budget and everything!

"You appear to think the NHS is a bottomless pit, Northey."

Yeah NORTHEY

Here's a response: why don't you fuck off schlaaaaaaaaaag!

Hahahahahaha!

Now AMNH is cross with me for laughing out loud and ruining Star Wars.

That's a good thing surely Norf

Apparently HWHNN says I have ruined Top Gun for him. All I did was point out that it's quite possibly the gayest film ever made

Anyway, today has been a huge pile of shite so I'm off to bed.

Night night dear Frank.

It is very boring and I keep getting confused when they mention droids. And Top Gun is gay!

Have a final pat from a fishy flipper before bed, lovely. Is spotting still there?

Silly AMNH. Nothing can ruin Star Wars.

The gayest thing ever is a GOOD THING.

Night night frank. Have a blanket of bream to sleep in ((hug))

Make sure you do the tent up and pull the reindeer sleeping bag up to your chin

frank how could he not have noticed? I mean, it passed me by when it first came out but I think I was probably too young to have heard of men wanting to bum one another at that point. When I watched it again as an adult it was like watching the wrong kind of porn.

I just "squeeeeeeeeed" at the puppies. So cute.

That fred is not healthy I think. I keep going back to it, like picking a scab, but I think I am going to stop. I'd love to see the actual figures for NHS IVF spending vs obesity or smoking-related spending. I wonder if they are published anywhere...

Something quite amusing happened at work today (sort of). I got staffed on a fab new case - really interesting, great team, all good. The one problem is that the hearing would be when I am 36/37 weeks pg if all works out. Oh, and it is in Paris. I'm going to have a Eurostar baby, aren't I? (At least it would fit with my username.) I figure it will all sort itself out in time.

I am absolutely knackered after an evening in the gym. Time for bed soon.

I'm avoiding that fred...sounds like it would make me irate...

frank - love the pic, sooooo cute n fluffy.

surely nothing can ruin Star Wars or Top Gun? although it has been consistently proven that MOF (and presumably all other men) cannot concentrate on more than one thing at a time...

euro - work in Paris sounds fun!
