We did this once before, but I think it has vanished?

What would we be posting?

AIBU to expect my perambulator to be allowed on the omnibus?

My oldest daughter is making her debut into society this year, and I cant decide whether to let aunt Charlotte or cousin Poinsetta introduce her. Poinsetta knows so many eligible batchelors, but Charlotte is at court with the queen.

AIBU, my friend is comming to dinner and tells me that she is a vegitarian. AIBU to not know what this is?

And am I likely to catch it from her?

AIBU to not expect my Thaumatrope to show images of women displaying shocking amounts of ankle?

While out with the children my Nanny has been know to feed them a meat pasty, some form of sausage meat, I fear. Does this mean that they are guttersnipes?

Oops, fainted again at Mrs Carrot's split infinitive.

a lady with an understanding of split infinitives! For shame. Get back to your sampler at once!

ooh, yes, my grammer has come over all queer with the shock of such blatant flesh.

Birth options.

Home or home?

Relationships: My intended has withdrawn his offer of marriage, what should I do.

Does anyone else think Isabella Beeton's methods with vegetables are just wrong?

Ms Scary .. may I warn you off Ms Poinsetta in these matters. For sure, it may be idle gossip, but it is gossip nonetheless.

It has been said that she sups oysters in the East End with nefarious gentlemen who wear faun coloured outer-clothing stained with soot and horse manure.

Of course, it is entirely your choice, dear sis ..

Should I inform the local constabulary that my maid has been forging my signature in the local pharmacist's poisons book and been stacking up enough prussic acid to kill an adult human? Why do other mumsnetters think she is doing this?

I have been devastated to find arsenic in my DH's underwear closet. Does it mean he has syphilis?

I suspect my wetnurse might be frequenting opium dens. Should I confront her about this?

Does anyone know how to get bloodstains out of sanitary napkins?

Oh but my good Ms Desiderata

I would think nothing of this, as she is testing seafood on behalf of the royal kitchens. Poinsetta has such a subtle palate....

But Desi my dear, you might be better to advise me, seing as our ancestral mansion is down in Cornwall, and one so tires of the London life, should I take her to Bristol instead?

Belladonna, I aheard a rumour it was dangerous but it gives me such a pleasing look about the eyes, is anyone married to a pharmacist?

And I heard the same of deadly nightshade for my skin, surely not?

Good Lord, married to a man who works!

piiiiff!

Although a friend tells me they are one and the same, surely it is not true?

Oh lord no, Ms Scary. Bristol is positively full of charlatans.

And one can not view the night sky through the miasma of horse shite

And the accent is quite appalling. The men are feral ... beasts in britches ... shaggy haired oafs who would sooner ......

... and a subtle palate indeed. I have heard said that Poinsetta and a puttle sallet ... and if you've ever played polo .....

Quick, get my man servant, let him call the doctor. Ms Desi has fainted

Oh lord oh lord the excitement, and what a sentiment, the night sky through horse erm droppings??

Oh my, I cant breathe
