Looking snug in the gulag

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm starting to look forward to my re-education in the gulag. Not only will it be full of fabulous Mumsnetters, but Martina Navratilova will be there, along with Jenni Murray, Janice Turner, Julie Bindel, Kathleen Stock, Graham Linehan and now Robert Webb. In other words, some of the coolest people I can think of.

Anyone else want to join me?

Douglas Adams would definitely have been with us :)

I feel like Sir Terry would have been too.

Terfing · 24/12/2018 22:24

Sounds great! Will we be segregated by sex or gender though, I wonder?

ChristmassyContessaConSparkles · 24/12/2018 22:25

MrsTerry I was just thinking that earlier! "If only he were here to say something pithy yet kind to make people understand what's actually going on...."

Mind you at least We will be able to further the population.

Unlike the b ark. We need a man and a woman....oh crap..

Scooch up a bit, I bring expensive chocolate and lots of wine!

The gulag will have excellent catering in general, what with all the recipes. I fear that the opposition may end up attempting to survive on takeout kebabs and packets of crisps, and I don't even want to think about the state of their floors.

Pyewackets · 24/12/2018 22:44

Someone told me the other day that Granny Weatherwax would have been on the TA side, nah mate, nah..

Now these Jelly babies, are they of the infamous many gendered variety, if so bags a gi joe.

Voice0fReason · 24/12/2018 22:50

If they're gendered jelly babies we can do surgery on them to make them all gender neutral!

BlackeyedGruesome · 24/12/2018 22:55

this gulag better be bloody enormous, as there is what, only 18% of the population guaranteed to be on the outside?

fucking forgotten the percentages as I have not paid sufficient attention

teawamutu · 24/12/2018 23:09

GRANNY WEATHERWAX would have been a TRA?

Get to fuck. She'd have sniffed a bit and said something about people doing whatever they liked but should remember who they really are. Only much pithier and witter, obvs.

MrsTerryPratcett · 24/12/2018 23:11

I feel like they might convince Magrat. But not Esme Weatherwax. She sees what's really there.

AngryAttackKittens · 24/12/2018 23:13

I feel like Magart wouldn't really believe them, but might be too nice to say so.

"Nice" is not really a Weatherwax personality trait.

teawamutu · 24/12/2018 23:16

And best not to think about Nanny Ogg's reaction...

morningtoncrescent62 · 24/12/2018 23:17

Do we all get to wear hats like Rosa Freedman's in the Gulag? I'm secretly hoping Santa will bring me one tomorrow.

AngryAttackKittens · 24/12/2018 23:20

A Wizard's Staff Has A Knob On The End, Unless His Name Is Ayden?

ChristmassyContessaConSparkles · 24/12/2018 23:21

Agnes/Perdita would dither with the idea for a while, I think....

tubspreciousthings · 24/12/2018 23:55

There are few places I'd rather be (despite sadly many of my oldest friends not being there)

WrathofRancidKlopp · 25/12/2018 00:03

Can you imagine being cooped up with Haddock, McKinnon, Paris Lee, Jess Bradley, Lily Madigan and gang

As an all male tribe, they're doomed.

ErrolTheDragon · 25/12/2018 00:04

Well, I am in no doubt whatever Sir TP knew the difference between gender and sex... that fearsome dragon 'king' ...GrinDragon

ErrolTheDragon · 25/12/2018 00:11

The likes of haddock, OJ and Peter Pie have their own domain now - careful with the address on this - Badley Fuckwitt. Created as a lefty dude heaven to rival our own BF, it turns out to be mansplainers hell because they only have each other to hector.

AngryAttackKittens · 25/12/2018 00:17

LOL, they're so petty. Shine on you odd, obsessive diamonds.

Cooroo · 25/12/2018 01:11

I would love to join you all. May be fighting @Lettera for that Aldi gingerbread.

MercianQueen · 25/12/2018 01:36

I'm so happy - just had a really good boozy chat with my brother, who it turns out is also GC. Even better, it all happened in front of the rest of the family who hadn't been exposed to any of the woke nonsense, and are now thoroughly briefed and aghast.

Dad in particular was really shocked about how scared I am to "come out" and discuss biological truth for fear of intimidation.

The cat is female, and after the lettuce incident (that we don't talk about but those on FWR may remember) has reverted to species assigned at birth.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 25/12/2018 08:27

Say no more, sashh. The First Rule of Lettuce Club is that you don't talk about Lettuce Club.

dianebrewster · 25/12/2018 08:30

I'll bring my power tools (we will need shelves right?), the contents of the tech cupboard (who knows when an unidentifiable charge lead might come in handy) and the sewing machine + kit for knocking out a few banners (I assume the Leeds Spinners will be in with us?)

Oh and the 3 litres of sloe gin made this year.
