Dark and stormies all round! Bluestocking piss up

[QuentinSummers]

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

Afternoon all... I've passed by this pub many times but never ventured in for a drink.

Can I have a large gin on ice? No tonic, thanks. It's the new genderfree drink du jour - completely transparent.

Good to see you Quentin hadn’t seen you for a while

I need a pub like this where my tendency to engage in gender critical rants after a few sherbets, will not cause me concern the morning after...

Somerville has refused me a licence for The Somerville Arms :(
Can I drown my sorrows back in here?

Fuck me what a week.

Agrees with all the exhausted women - what a week.

Have a large glass of even though it's before 6.00 pm! Sinks into a chair and listens to the sound of women talking.

Haha!

I don't know where Spasm is, trimming candles or something.

There you go unique. I haven't given you a straw, because one thing's for sure, a sucker you ain't.

😆

After the Babbs thread I’ll have a double vodka please

cor, it has been quite the week hasn't it?

I watched this on facebook earlier and loved it

Dame Stephanie Shirley - She was on the Kinder Transport, started her own (mostly) women only software company in the 60's whilst caring for her profoundly autistic son, sold up in the 80s and became a millionaire (but did profit share with her employees). Has given away £68 million of her fortune so far to good causes. Had to call herself Steve to get traction while her business started up (of course).

what a woman.

Oh, and a white wine sptritzer please. my summer post work drink. a bit early in the season, but I feel it's justified after the week we've had

I need a triple, the benefits agency have ''lost'' my forms. Again.

Sorry Penny that is really shit. is there any Competence left in this country?

Right.

One negroni, glass of red, large vodka, white wine spritzer (I'm assuming soda), and a triple Something Anaesthetising.

Cheers all.

I'm a bit glum tonight. Can I have a cocktail with umbrellas and sparklers?

G&T and salt and vinegar crisps please.

It’s nice in here. Do we have a pub cat?

I’m just off into the toilets to change out of my work username. I’ve had a pants day at the Trans woke workplace.

G&T for me please. On top of all the nonsense here in the last week, DS is bouncing off the walls because it's the holidays. I'm shattered already.

Thanks Bernard. Can it wave one of those little cocktail swords?

Ooh I have some pipe cleaners somewhere, stripy ones...

Are there any hugs or support for people who have had to go against the grain on something and had knots in their stomachs? Soothing tea with brandy maybe?

Served with an accompanying sympathic ear.

Unmumsnetty (((((((hugs))))))))

One tiny plastic sword skewering two cocktail cherries coming up

my friend and I used to start our nights at the students union with a double malibu with a cherry in. so sweet (I guess we had almost literally just finished being children. That's my excuse and I'm sticking with it)

Used to love Malibu, I’m my defence when I actually was a child

Pint of IPA, packet of Seabrook's plain with a pickled egg chucked in please. I need some downtime! Nice to meet you l x
