Ooh ooh! Do I get to start it?

Wine and cake all round. And a celebratory burst on the patriarchy-blasting cannon!

Old pub here

I like my cider as dry as possible. And my wine too.

But as a rule I don't like sour food.

Hmm. I think this should go on the boring thread rather than a feminist thread... Hmm

Bumping the pub

Hiya! Have been recommending the pub on a few threads so thought I should make it easier to find.

Just placemarking. I'll be back later when I've more time. Thanks for showing the way DrSeuss!

DrSeussRevived · 26/02/2016 09:39

A pint and a pi, surely?

3point14159265359 · 26/02/2016 10:44

Oh, bravo.
No one ever gets that. I think I've been called 'pi' twice, everyone else says 3point.

NeverEverAnythingEver · 26/02/2016 12:02

Hello pi! Great name. :)

Haven't been here for a while. Leading a rather boring life at the moment...

DrSeussRevived · 27/02/2016 19:02

Mary Beard back with a series on Pompeii starting March 3rd.

PalmerViolet · 27/02/2016 19:08

Another chance to fangirl her, lovely!

DrSeussRevived · 27/02/2016 19:38

And she's on radio 4 at 11am Friday presenting Glad to be Grey!

Is anyone following Emma Watson's book club?

slightlyglitterbrained · 28/02/2016 18:28

Oh damn. Looks interesting. Need to reduce my to-read pile though...

3point14159265359 · 29/02/2016 10:30

I've just joined that Good Reads group. I'm new to actively thinking about any of this (beyond muttering FFS under my breath 9000 times a day) so I may as well learn with Emma.

Any other pointers for not-too-academic reading welcome too.

(I just bought 'We should all be feminists' on Kindle. Amazon's reaction? 'We've shared this with Mr Pi'. I feel told off. Wink )

Loved TGN. It's a book you need time for though...

NeverEverAnythingEver · 01/03/2016 09:53

I read through TGN and still have no clue what it is about ...

OublietteBravo · 01/03/2016 21:47

Can I sneak back in? I've not been around for ages and ages a while...

BarefootAcrossHotLegoPieces · 01/03/2016 22:02

Hello oubliette!

I'm watching the Oscars dress round up. Hand me a Babycham and drum me out of feminism Grin

NeverEverAnythingEver · 01/03/2016 22:53

I haven't seen anything about the Oscars at all. I quite like looking at dresses but generally I prefer to look at things I want to wear. Grin

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 01/03/2016 23:22

A round of drinks for everyone, on me. I found out that got a promotion at work today, I thought I had blown it when I didn't hear for AGES after interview but I got it! And I negotiated flexible working, and to start at the top of the scale! I would definitely not have had the confidence to do this without everything I have learned from lurking on here, so you all deserve a large drink. Cheers! Wine

BarefootAcrossHotLegoPieces · 01/03/2016 23:25

Fan dabby dozey! Wine
