Badley Fuckitt Welcomes Careful Drivers

That's where I want to live right now. Home of the Bluestocking pub and the Shady Pines, the favoured retirement home of gin-swilling, cantankerous elderly gender crit feminists. It's like that village in the Dales which dodged the bubonic plague and is a haven from PoMo fuckwittery. Anyone else in?

New Fuckitt twinned with Badley Fuckitt.
We can have exchange trips via the portal.

Our portal is in the biscuit aisle in Tesco's, it takes us straight to BF.

Any idea where the portal to NF would be hidden?

Amazing.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 10/08/2019 00:21

Is there room for someone who knits and has no patience with fuckwittery?

psst It's at Target, in the Closet Organization aisle. But whatever you do, don't go into the changing rooms there! (google Target voyeur changing room if you want 1,000,000 reasons why)

If you can knit, you will be in special demand. I think someone upthread had set up a wool shop.
Or did just I imagine that

Grinitch
Too early on a Saturday morning to google that at the moment. Shock

In the closet organisation section in Target you say?
I'll be standing in Tesco's directing people over.

The password our end is 'Tarshaaay', say it as if you are posh French.

We'll instruct our lot to keep our voices low, we don't want any interlopers sneeking in to New Fuckitt.

Ah, I missed Badley Fuckitt the first time round. Just what I wanted!

If you need me, I’ll be floating on an inner tube at the bend in the river, and I’ve got a bottle of Albariño cooling in the water, tethered with a string to my inner tube so I can haul it up from time to time to top up.

WrathofSWhlttleKIop · 10/08/2019 08:48

Its very wet and windy here.
Hope the weather is calmer on the river than it is here.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/08/2019 09:04

BF has its own microclimate. This may be attributable to there being less hot air vented into its atmosphere.

This is such an appealing scenario I’m about to change out of my PJ and head down to my nearest Tesco Metro to nip through the portal.

The microclimate in Badley Fuckitt is just so to accommodate the needs of our peri/menopausal residents. Lots of loose fitting linen in the village boutique too.

Badley Fuckitt is just so

Lovely phrase

TurboTeddy there are rooms upstairs at the Blue Stocking. And unlike your average pub, the ceiling of the communal areas is properly soundproofed, so even if the locals get a bit lairy after a few too many of their chosen tipple (Big Barb of the Anderson shelter is partial to a port and lemon or ten, I believe), you will still be guaranteed a good night's sleep.

Grintch - that's one of my favourite Abigail Adams' quotes! I like the sound of New Fuckitt. Is it by any chance one of those places which would be particularly appealing to visit in the Fall when all the leaves are turning? If so, may I make my reservation at the Abigail now?

ChattyLion · 10/08/2019 12:28

Just firing up the BBQ over on the river beach..

GrinitchSpinach · 10/08/2019 13:51

Wrath, the password on our end is liberty. Do keep it quiet, though, because I wouldn't want it overheard by the toothless bloke who generously offered me a sip of his peppermint schnapps (not a euphemism) the last time I went to Tesco during my time in your green and pleasant land.

Fermats that's you booked for October, then, in the Karen Uhlenbeck suite. Leaf-peeping abounds in autumn in New Fuckitt, and I'm sure you will enjoy our harvest festival. Hope you can stay for Halloween; it's quite the party around here. The local coven leads us in dance, and costumes are very creative. No horror masks like Trump or BoJo allowed.

There are a few rooms left for last-minute visits this month. August is the time for clambakes on the beach. We prepare local clams, lobster, scallops, corn, little red potatoes and bottomless lemonade or Bloody Mary pitchers as the mood strikes. Then it's time for a nap in the sea breeze or a swim in the gentle waves. We throw on our most comfortable bathing suits without a care for how our bodies might look in them, and it would never occur to anyone to sit out the fun due to unshaven/waxed parts exposed.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 10/08/2019 13:59

I should have said - not only do I knit, but I also make excellent cheese scones. The secret is to put far too much cheese in - so the scones lose all structural integrity, and slump into a vaguely scone-shaped heap, but taste bloody marvellous.

FermatsTheorem · 10/08/2019 14:02

The Karen Uhlenbeck suite. Truly my inner maths nerd rejoices Grin.

I just had to google Karen Uhlenbeck because I had never heard of her. What an inspiring scientist! I just said to DH that my life is improved by all the cool stuff I learn on MN. I also think the Badley Fuckitt - New Fuckitt twinning holds out great potential for cultural exchange. 👌

Though I’ll own up that following the wiki links to try and understand her substantive areas of research blew my mind. 🤯 I am at a completely different level of mathematical ability.

I'm in, sounds ace.

MontyPythonsFlyingFuck · 10/08/2019 15:24

Badley Fuckitt is my sort of place. I can offer endless variants on sloe gin (currently quince vodka, damson gin, blackberry vodka), cake-making skills and organising stuff. Oh, and singing. And reading. And dog-bothering.

Mamello · 10/08/2019 15:42

Hello. Just passing through. Is this the feminist utopia where 'prostitutes' who have seen the light and non fucked up bananas abound or do I need to keep going? On second thoughts, as a midwife, I'm not sure I'll be needed there so maybe I'll holiday around here for a bit.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 10/08/2019 20:46

I am currently making rhubarb gin, @MontyPythonsFlyingFuck - do you have any advice on how long to leave it steeping, please?

Sickoffamilydrama · 10/08/2019 20:57

Oh can I join I do have useful skills I've been both a nurse and a funeral director so if the worst happens and you die in my care at least I can arrange you a good send off Grin

I think this sounds like a Swedish island not that I have ever been to one

TurboTeddy · 10/08/2019 21:15

Sickoffamilydrama
That's an impressive skill set Grin, both very necessary and almost guaranteed permanent employment.

AnotherAdultHumanFemale · 10/08/2019 21:23

This sounds exactly the kind of place I'd like to live. Is there a cottage available, room for several cats, possibly a dog and a vegetable garden out the back?

If there's a vacancy I'd be happy to be the resident art teacher. I could also take on a few hours in the fabric shop if one has opened yet (I'm assuming one has considering how many people like crafts).
