Badley Fuckitt Welcomes Careful Drivers

[boatyardblues]

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?

The Village Shop will stock SkinSoSoft: midges hold no fears for us.
I also keep chickens, so fresh eggs for cakes healthy breakfasts.

I'm a big fan of cake at any time of day healthy breakfasts

With all the interest in fermentation, can we look into specialist condiments please, eg miso, soy sauce and kimchee? Much as we risk Brexit taking us back to the 40s in a culinary sense, I want to hang onto the good umami flavourings, even if we have to brew our own. Note: I briefly pondered whether broad beans would work instead of soya beans, if we are restricted to native varieties. Broad beans are one of the few things I hate, but I could learn to love them of they were useful.

I can make miso and tempeh if thats any help? (but not with broad beans. they are the work of Beelzebub)
I can also grow butter beans and sweet potatoes, and spuds in vertical stacks of tyres.

That’s fantastic news Upstart. We have such diverse skills on MN.

I like the sound of the yarn studio. I can buy my knitting and weaving supplies from you

Me too. My speciality is socks.

I can do kimchi and Sauerkraut, I have some homemade one at home right now, not a problem at all.
Never tried making miso and tempeh but I'm happy to give it a go.
I love broad beans. I had lactic acid fermented broad beans from someone I know who ferments any plant material she can get hold of and they were delicious, weird, but delicious.

I can't do socks, they end up looking like periscope warmers
But I can do balaclavas (my kids resent me for this) so we will make a wonderful team

Looks like we'll have a great supply of lovely food without the need for constant shopping.
I feel a pattern of our food wishes is emerging. Like not wanting to shop.

Threewheeler mentioned a radio station.
What a great idea, we can have Jenni Murray as the main presenter.
We can call it Womans Hour radio.

Special guest man hour, once a day.
Ricky Gervais maybe.

We've got to limit Man's Hour to just once a day.
We don't want to listen the men just droning on.
I personally can't stand their voices.

Not you, DH or Ricky

A woman's voice sounds so much sweeter and has tremendous integrity in the tone. Ahem.

Periscope warmers

Now I feel that we need a submarine to go with it, captained by the excellent woman in Johnny English 3. (She strikes me as a no-no sense, GC type.)

But I can do balaclavas (my kids resent me for this) so we will make a wonderful team

Threewheeler1 You're on! Swap you my easy-peasy sock pattern for yours for balaclavas. Everyone in Badley Fuckitt is going to have wonderfully warm heads and feet.

I don't think I have ever worn a balaclava.
It might feel strangely liberating, and comforting.

We had to buy balaclavas for a winter sports trips. I made the kids try them on in the shop for size as we are all large of noggin. We thought we looked funny and took a photo, then texted DH our group selfie. He said we looked like Mrs Unabomber plus family and was a bit perturbed.

This sounds like the perfect village to set up a small art studio.

And maybe a small shop selling greetings cards and tea towels that you can bring home for your mum.

Saw your name as the last poster on this thread and hurried over to see if you'd graced us with a drawing of Badly Fuckitt...

I'm also willing to join the 'patrolling the perimeter with a sharpened stick' force.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed there will be some sort of informal knowledge-skills-talent sharing.

In anticipation (and rather cheekily), I'd like to put my name down for possible science with Bowl, cello lessons, goat wifery (husbandry didn't seem apprpriate) and the art of cartoon drawing with Sandy. So much more that's tempting as there's an embarrassment of riches here but am hoping to learn allsorts of wonderful, useful and exciting things!

We need some suggestions for invited speakers for our regular lecture series. I’d quite like get Sheryl Sandberg along for an exploration of how easy she thinks it is to ‘lean in’ when you aren’t insulated by mountains of moolah and a minted spouse. I think we could have a lively debate at the Germaine Bunbury Memorial Hall.

Actually, it would be great to see Sandberg and Lisa Muggeridge on the same platform.

Ah welsh, I think we might be creating a warm, woolly Utopia.
boatyard, Mrs Unabomber That conveys it nicely! They make anyone look a bit menacing...

Vicky, maybe we could patrol the perimeter in balaclavas and socks?

I must confess, my balaclavas are a bit hazardous. I'm never really sure where to put the face hole so vision and breathing is a bonus, hearing is a no-no and tripping is standard.

Yes to the sub, patrolling the waters and ready to blast the unedited Vagina Monologues over the tannoy at intruders.
For the law and order element, I'd like Melissa McCarthy in The Heat. She'd be the perfect police chief.
And Wrath, lovely - Woman's Day every day on the radio with Jenni Murray. I love her voice.
Sandy, you should be the resident artist

Another thread has reminded me, who's up for making hanging baskets and tubs for the hall in suffragette colours - lots of nice violet and white pansies, with some trailing ivy for starters?

I'm in. Love a bit of gardening.
