Feminist Pub XVIII, in which the Bluestocking greets the first signs of spring with a glass of something soothing

[PuffinsAreFictitious]

Just starting this one as the last is nearly full

Awesome, I was just thinking we would need a new one!

What colour shall we do the walls?

A nice spring colour. Primrose yellow. And a bit of purple and green for contrast.

We can change it soon enough if it doesn't look good.

Sounds good and a nice change from dark wood and candlelight

That reminds me, I went home at Christmas one year, back when you were still allowed to smoke inside.

I went to the pub, as a load of us who had been at school together were going. At some point, the radiator somehow got broken, and there was hot water shooting up to the ceiling from the pipe.

It washed the ceiling. It was vile.

That's why everything used to have to be dark colours.

not sure about the colors - a bit bright for me. I prefer the grey fug of smoke-encrusted grime.

Also now longing for a pint of english cider and some pork scratchings.

Buffy - I enjoyed it, but with tongue firmly in cheek.

Thanks for the new pub

I can remember when the smoking ban came in and suddenly you could smell all the things that used to be covered up by smoke - stale beer in the carpets, sweat etc. (Still better than coming home stinking of smoke though)

Ooh lovely new pub.

Yay - a new pub

Morning all!

I like the new pub. Well done Puffins.

I remember being pregnant and not drinking and smelling all the nasty smells in the pubs...

Hi all. Reserving my spot at the bar... Love the new colour! No pink, naturally.

Yo

The bluestocking threads are usually six million posts long by the time i see them, so feel like i'm gatecrashing. But i'm comfortable doing so at only 15 posts in

Hiya beyond!

Just jump in whenever Beyond. Just make sure you give the goat a cuddle, or a scratch behind the ears.

Hello!

Hmm. Is that goat definitely feminist?

Buffy Why are you bouncing off the wall? What are you on? Give me some of it. I need to write more bollocks but haven't got the verve for it.

Definitely spring in your step Buffy - goes nicely with the decor!

Boings with Buffy. Dunno why

Perhaps we could decorate like this, if we're all feeling boingy and springy?

Annie - where is this wonderous place! Can you imagine a 5 year-old's birthday party in there!
