The Genuine BESH Palais. To misquote Carlsberg, we're probably the barrenest TTC-ers in the world...

We are Barren. We are Evil, on account of having left procreating until our 30s. We are Selfish, thinking only of careers and money and cars and holidays. And lastly, we are Hags. Welcome to the BESH gin palace. Babydusters and instadiffers need not apply.

I'm afraid that being a BESH has also ruined me for other conception threads. Even in Infertility they are so lovely and nice they scare me, though I have found an IUI with some nice people.

Tell what annoys me on Other Threads. When someone starts it and someone regular wanders in and says something like

"Oooh, lovely shiny new thread!

"

WTF is a SHINY THREAD Angry

Star Trek: Into Darkness is fucking brilliant. Drop what you're doing and go see it now.

Ahem. As you were.

Hurrah, Twink! Tomorrow night cannot come soon enough! I'm really looking forward to it, so such relief that it is good!

Hest, a shiny thread is a new one - clean and shiny like anything that's new. It's not an odd thing to say, I think.

FrankellyMyDearIDontGiveADamn · 09/05/2013 15:36

No spoilers Twinks, but was he totes amazeballs?

I've just sent off my Royal Ascot application for the Royal Enclosure . Got to get a hat sorted out now

Being a BESH has definitely lowered my tolerance levels to hun/babydust/lols freds. Grown women should know better!

The zigzags buggered off after a while. I think they are a typical migrane symtom. I don't usually get migranes, but I think the area around the stitches is a bit swollen, so it is probably putting pressure on my skull or something.

hest that is quite astoundingly stupid.
I'm sure I'm guilty of that in one of my other quiches. I draw the line at babydust and lols though.

Make sure you get your money's worth, bugs.

EuroShaggleton · 09/05/2013 16:20

The zigzags didn't improve my typing any I notice.

I should never have mentioned shiny threads. Shiny threads are perfectly ok. I am just intolerant and bitter.

My ante-natal/post-natal group are great. But it is a Fred, not a fecking bus!

Yes hest it's because of you... Only youuuuuu, can make this world seem right....

My other quiche uses horrendous levels of teen speak (though not bubba or hun, thank god) in an affectionately ludicrous way. It's ironic, innit? Grin

Irony. Like goldy and bronzey, only made of iron?

That's the one. The joke may have rusted by now, but hey ho, it's become habitual...

I'm going for my first proper swing dance class! I fully expect to make a massive tit of myself. It'll be GREAT!

cap'n if it's anything like last night's effort, you will be fabulous. Are you taking your glittery bristols with you ?

TWinklyLittleStar · 09/05/2013 18:37

Sorry for leaving you all in suspense - BendyDick TrouserBulge was fantastic. Can't say much more without being spoilery. Chris Pine was surprisingly hot, I don't normally fancy blond men. However the excitement was all too much, I had to take to my bed.

(It's possible that I went to bed.because I'm ill with a chest infection and upset stomach. HWCA almost decreed me too ill to go into London today. Poor me, waaah.)

evilgiraffe · 09/05/2013 18:47

Why didn't you believe me, Twinks? I've been saying for AGES that Pine and Urban (and Quinto and The Batch) are hotties! Arrrrrgh, 25 hours until I can see it!

Also, get well soon :(

Urban? As in Eomer?

I don't fancy him. Something about his lips

OP posts:
TWinklyLittleStar · 09/05/2013 20:01

I did not realise he was Eomer. Good grief.

OP posts:
evilgiraffe · 09/05/2013 20:21

Ah, he's not at his best in LOTR. He is hot stuff the rest of the time though.

Hat for frank to wear at Ascot

My doctor didn't ask stupid questions. However her internal calendar was faulty, and she tried to send me away because she thought we'd been TTCing for 4 months. She was very polite about it! She warmed up considerably when I pointed out she'd lost a year somewhere in her adding up.
