Dark and stormies all round! Bluestocking piss up

[QuentinSummers]

A friendly place for feminist or general chit chat. Welcome all!

Bloody hell FermatsTheorem you'll be needing a bath after that!

Sorry to hear there is such a horrible thread :-( I dont stray out of feminism very often although it's a far less cosy haven than it used to be.

Thanks, both!

The first thing I did afterwards was trough a whole big bar of Green and Blacks. Felt a lot better after getting my blood chocolate levels up to par.

(I too feel sad that FWR has been invaded.)

Sorry for the delay, I was sidetracked by real life. Come and get it!

Is anyone up for a nightcap?

Fermats this is required after dementors

I'm here Rowan how are you? (actually brown glass bottleof ginger beer)

Wonders how to get to sink to wash sticky paws without getting weezol's candyfloss everywhere...
Yummy though!

Why candyfloss? TBH it's one of those things which looks fabulous but the reality is disappointing... literally hardly any substance to it.

I should share some of my Lindt nutty chocolate pile. I won it by coming up with a sensible alternative file name extension for a format used by our software which clashed with another usage. I thought the guy who was asking for ideas was joking when he said there would be a prize and asked what sort of chocolate I liked. He's a Germanic Swiss chap, they evidently take chocolate seriously. Half a dozen bars of dark hazelnut plus a couple of boxes of Lindor hazelnut were duly delivered (I work from home).

I'm good though it does all feel rather topsyturvy!

lashings of ginger beer would be smashing... whisky mac type nightcap.

How are you Waddle?

I'm good thanks Rowan

Topsyturvy or utterly FUBAR? I'm just catching up on the thread not at all about another thread that had (dramatic pause) quotes in it.

ErrolTheDragon excellent chocolate haul! I had a manager like thst once all sorts of random things he would say "there'll be a prize for that" & I would never think it real then a week later wine (of the colour I do not drink...) would arrive, chocolate would have been better

Definitely topsy turvy... most peculiar indeed!

Am hankering after chocolate now to go with my nightcap!

Ah cupboard raiding time

my raid was a poor show... healthy bar only, even the emergency secret stash place was empty ( in fairness, only because I raided it last week!)

I resorted to bastard pom bears earlier

Ah... they would not have hit the spot. Needed chocolate, preferably some of Errol's!

Yeah i wanted crisps - pom bears did not hit the spot at all. DH describes them as quavers without flavour, they remind me of polystyrene not idea how they are classed as food

Pom bears are enhanced by being dunked in ketchup/mayo/brown sauce/your condiment of choice. Not good with Morrison's Savers Chocolate Spread Nutella according to my first test.

Surprised no-one has acquired the NN PombearsAreBears yet. All the best MN names have their own MN emoticon . .

I was thinking of Bombay Duck is Fish, but it can misconstrued.

Welsh Rarebit. Not rare, not Welsh. Sorry, I'm not getting much sleep at the moment.

I posted the below on the register, but I think it's worthy of a repeat:

MN often makes me wonder what teaching goes on in some places
Miss, Mrs and Ms were all perfectly clear and I've now I've seen two posters saying
Mrs has become the equivalent to Ms?!

My first nip in here. Man alive the batshittery out there is like a hurricane. I'm so glad I delurked, the relief at being able to respond to the threads is the debate equivalent of those grim sporning threads.

Floral, wondering which particular set of batshittery brought you here?

It's a quick cheers, a downed shot and a goodnight from me, otherwise as a night owl I'll be a wreck tomorrow!

I cannot drink alcohol so I stuff my face with chocolate and go pull weeds in the garden or viciously prune something.

Yes - there's something very satisfying about a good secateur and lopper session. I could do with some more ladylike loppers though - by which I mean longer ones for increased reach and leverage. But maybe we should take this outside to the feminist gardening thread - I'm assuming that's in the potting shed down at the bottom of the pub garden.

LighthouseSouth, it's like bullshit bingo out there right now, I can't open a thread without some egregious logic fail slapping me in the chops. I shall eat cheese and regroup.
