Can you find me some sandals to go with this toga?

AIBU to think that my slaves don't need a day off?

Who is your favourite person in the Forum?

oh, and another thing, that troublesome Iceni tribe in Essex are being a pain again, they've let a lion on the loose again. What can I do about them this time?

Think I might have Legionnaires disease - was I so wrong to sleep with them all?

DizzyBeeisSchoolShoeShopping · 27/08/2012 17:03

fussychica, yes - the fact that they were all wearing togas was a clue that it might not be a good idea!

But it was only 5000 men - perhaps I'd have been better stopping at the end of the Century.

zukiecat, be afraid. Be very afraid - and sell the villa now before prices fall.

DizzyBeeisSchoolShoeShopping · 27/08/2012 17:17

fussychica, 5000 men?! Be careful, zukiecat will feed you to the lions if you carry on behaving like that.

We are renting a villa in Aqae Sulis next year on our trek north to conquer that skirt wearing tribe.

DizzyBeeisSchoolShoeShopping · 27/08/2012 17:44

zukiecat, you can mention the spectacular views - it will one very, very soon

joanofarchitrave · 27/08/2012 17:45

My gf snogs men who brush their teeth in urine. AIBU to love and hate this at the same time?

LineRunner · 27/08/2012 17:45

Have just discovered that eunuch does indeed have full complement of bollocks.

Am sending him back to Honest Titus's Cash & Carry Slave and Handmaiden Emporium first thing tomorrow morning.

I am hoping for a full refund and a few denarii off a new latrine attendant. The last one we had never really 'wiped' properly Hmm

RagingDull · 27/08/2012 19:44
