30s TTC. It was the BESHt of times,it was the worst of times, it was the age of rummaging in gussets, drinking gin.....

[ginhag]

C'mon in BESHes to the beach bar...sprawl on comfy sofas while you wiggle your toes in the sand and watch a glorious sunset....and drink brightly coloured cocktails with sparklers in. Cos we're classy,innit.

I've got Adam and joe in as barmen, and we have a rather nice Cave of Gloom in the corner for those 'whyyyyyy meeeeeeee???' moments. We have a reggae sound system playing mob barley's greatest hits. It's a sunshine paradise!

Newcomers welcome,as long as they drag along a bucket of black humour and a vast amount of gin. And please note,some of us have been here so long we have forgotten the real world almost entirely.

Now,who's getting the next round in?

Did you have an awesome time, OccieWoccieDooDah? Tell us all about it.

NOTHING nice has happened since you've been away, not a thing. Most recent updiff was Cho, and you were around for that, I'm pretty sure.

Thinking of SisterAries, please keep us posted with how things go, if you want to.

Ooh, me? Really?

I liked the explanation of how to type it I gave my Dad tickets for dinner and a show for his birthday; they went yesterday (into That London! on a Weekday!) and this afternoon when I asked how they got on he explained the groundbreaking concept of the show - it was lots of songs, with a storyline!

Soo, a musical then....

Musealot I went right off tea, coffee and any drink with anyfink artificial in it (made my choices fairly limited, I must say!) - that was one of my earliest symptoms. So I declare you diffed, thanks vay much.

Lyra I am so pleased your pops is doing better, and fucking disgraceful borderline negligent behaviour from your GP. I've had two experiences of dehydration - one, my pops a few years ago - he went mental, starting turning out all their wardrobes at 4am - turns out he was sudden onset diabetic, and had been peeing for England, cue electrolytes going mad and him following hot on their heels. The other experience was me, when I were diffed - was so badly sick I couldn't even keep water down (why do I want to do this again, pliz?) and in both cases, the GP took ONE LOOK and we were both in hospital on drips within the hour (not at the same time, that would have been weird. Not to mention incredily annoying having to listen to my Dad banging on about the Daily Mail headlines )

It's so fucking easy to diagnose that I am really on your Dad's behalf. Well done your sister (and I don't say that often either)

Get a move on MoroccanDish. IS tagine Morroccan?

By the way there has been a PESH baby. A REAL one. This has terrified me. It has suddenly been brought home to me than I'm on this thread because I actually reckon I want a baby!!!!!!! And could be a parent . And there I was thinking it was all just a sometimes-jolly, friend-making exercise. Does anyone know what I mean? I really, really don't mean to be insulting or flippant.

I am trying Pisces but I can't find you!

Well ASK DROM then! Tsssk.

I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaave!!!!

I would give you my email and stuff but I don't have a special BESH one and I don't want everyone on MN emailing me (as they undoubtedly will immediately because I'm so popular).

I am not diffed. Me going off tea happens all the time. I don't think this is going to be my month. It just doesn't feel right.

But I do have gin. And am blithely ignoring the 'don't drink while trying to get diffed' warning. After all, I'm not trying right now, I'd get thrown off the train.

Hold on Taggie. HOLD ON....

tagine try emailing curlycasper at rocketmail dot com

I bloody hope that account still works. Then I will have a go at getting the message across.

The FFJ cometh. Let the shaggathon begin. With TYF, I mean

Am glad PapaLyra is better, but am at the stoopid GP. I've had electrolyte imbalance and it's fucking hellish, so poor him x 10000. Send lots lucky vibes his way for the new results BTW, wish there was an equivalent non-religious word for 'prayers' (tis why I use 'vibes').

Hooray for Scorpy shagging! I think I want you to diff even more than me!

This gin is v strong.

woo Shagette

I have desperate to diff since I was 15! Thank God I was a scrawny, spotty, brainbox Goth loser (and sensible enough to block out deafening bellow of ovaries). Think only reason I haven't done now is cos body is sulking and going for a cutting-off-nose-to-spite-face approach, ie 'Oh NOW you want to give me what I want? Well fuck you very much!'.

OK curlyfries you've got mail. Though we're about to start a veritable wallpapering marathon so it might not be tonight I appear now after all this!

tag please be reading reply and let's sort it!

done! I'm off now. SFF wants to mess with the broadband/tv connection.

Well fuckit, I'm in.

And now I have to go do DIY

Pliz to all spam me with friend requests

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

First rule of BESH Club: Don't Mention The Uvver Place.

how was your holibob, Pokemina?

Well, I have toiled and toiled, and my wallpaper is UP! And bloody marvellous it looks too. Am giddy at the thought of not having to trail back and forth to homebase/b&q all weekend getting tester pots and paper samples anymore, as that's what I've been doing, not to mention spending every evening staring at small bits of wall in despair.

Is fucking AWESOME in here now.

And on that note, I'm off to bed.
