Roman Mumsnet

[KeemaNaanAndCurryOn]

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?

What else?

My new neighbor is called Biggus Dickus. I really dislike these new names, what on earth is wrong with traditional ones...

He has a wife you know...

Allaonenow, What year would be posting from exactly...??

...because if it's near the AD 79 mark I'd just leg it anyway ...

Hi there,

We're moving this thread to classics.

Awww yay, Keema got classics thread on the basis of my silly autocorrect ipad!

Oh my!

Just need to get banned now keema, quick call me a troll!

What's the Roman version of classics? Neolithic?

I hate Gaul. So full of Gaullists who drive their chariots on the wrong side.

Also my MIL is coming to stay and wants me to take her toga down to the stream to bash it with stones. WWYD?

AIBU to judge my friend for using a wet nurse?

I found out here that DS and his mates have been out carving obscene graffiti around town.

Suitable punishment please?

My brother is serving out at the God-forsaken edge of the empire and has sent a tablet saying it's wet and cold and he needs socks and a new cloak. Who's in for knitting some blankets for our brave legionaries in Britannia?

I've found a shopping list!!
Just spotted it as I was on my way home.
Very neatly written !! Here it is

agnina / caprina Viaticum Panis caseus radices
Ficus / uvae
Cepam
Lac
Fungi
Vinum

Scaphium sciphus. Lemiscus

No you are not! I am Spartacus!

WIBU to decline an invitation to eat stuffed dormice at my MILs tomorrow? She has never liked me and since our dd was born has interfered in every way and has given her olives, honey and small birds to eat without my permission. She knows we are struggling at the moment, could she be extending the olive branch right into my face?!
funchum have just finished underpants for my brother - use doubleknit won't you !

My next door neighbour plays the violin badly late at night.

It's keeping DD awake, should I put a tablet through the door or get my slave to call around.

Also, today he appears to have had a feast out the back for Saturnalia, and hasn't extinguished the barbeque properly.

It's making my washing smell and the smoke is getting thicker. Should I move or just put up with it?

Oh and he's at it again with the bloody fiddle.

Is your neighbour the one with a seemingly unhealthy interest in his female relatives?
