The Badley Fuckitt Pop-Up Winter Gin Bar

[BadgertheBodger]

Come one, come all!

Badley Fuckitt’s pop-up Winter gin bar is open for business. We’ve got faux-sheepskins, a log fire being stoked by young Nigel and enough gin to drown an army of sealions. (Note to PETA, not real ones, natch)

Collapses on chaise longue and weakly gestures for the bottle

Sorry to let the side down, but could someone kindly post a link to the thread where the whole Thigh thing started, as I've seen lots of references but have no idea what it means, thx.

So, did Gove basically tell Rayner to Shut Up?

For once, a Gove sentiment with which I can agree. Well played.

Have we thought of just tutting loudly and moving away?

The thigh stuff all gets deleted after 30 days so no, it's actually not possible to do that, eoin. Sorry!

Basically they're like slightly eccentric neighbours, we visit each other occasionally. They call us the RFF - Real Fanny Fighters.

I’m now intrigued about the thighs. Are they MNers or visiting penis-havers from a cycling forum?

Is anyone burning herbs here?

Is anyone burning herbs here?

I'm always burning herbs. Sorry.

Go, flaming witch.

Go, flaming witch.

Fuck, I've been outed.

My specialty

Herbs? Like, marjoram?

(I may or may not have my hands behind my back.)

I've no idea what the Thighs are all about. I'm just here nursing a small brandy and some ... marjoram.

As long as it’s not dill. Boak

Can I come in for a bit? It's pissing down out there.

I don't do gin but I do make a brilliant sangria and I'm a dab hand at rolo rum as well......

Surely it's getting to be mulled wine season? I haven't had mulled wine in years, they don't do it in the particular Foreign Parts where I happen to have landed.

I don’t care if it’s a school night

I am distributing the small dogs, first dibs to the people by the door who are risking a draught (any German Mumsnetters will know draughts are to be avoided because death. Or something worse.)

I had mandatory training tonight on the new Scottish domestic abuse laws and it showed the video of the man from the BBC (of course tragic) and then everyone went on to talk about domestic violence against men, and how not all men are bad and women can be nasty too.

I couldn't let that sit so brought up stats about women killed etc. I know I piss people off with my feminist rants but am past caring anymore.

It's amazing how much more seriously society takes things when it thinks there are male victims than it does with female victims.

My one gender critical ally there is a man close to retirement age.

I'm fucking exhausted and need a drink.

I'm OK thanks Mrs S, I've brought some cats. Although I'm not sure that was a great e=idea in view of the precarious barstool, they tend to hold on with their claws when it gets wobbly. Ouch.

Wasn't it one of Jane Austen's characters who couldn't do draughts?

Actually, talking about draughts can I nip behind the bar for a bit and get anyone a beer? Again it's not something I drink myself but I think it would help my mood this week to have a damn good PUUUULLLLLL

Sometimes outside we hear the clatter of unicorn hooves.

But never in here

Emma's father, I think, Yam.

I've had a helluva day too Gingerkitty. Damn.

My DH makes a mean Bloody Mary. Not tonight though, must to bed.

(went to the village pub tonight, don't usually on a Tuesday, and LL allowed me to rant, said that's what he was there for. Felt ok, ranted at him all to hell, he's lovely)

A cycling forum? Our birth was recorded in Classics www.mumsnet.com/Talk/mumsnet_classics/3507843-I-can-offer-you-solutions-to-all-your-problems

Here, we got you an armed cat to guard the door.

I’m now intrigued about the thighs. Are they MNers or visiting penis-havers from a cycling forum?

They have a few penises, undoubtedly, but those aren’t the only organs the Thighs harvest...

Agh! Should’ve known I’d cross post with an actual one of them.

Don't be afraid Grinitch. We are a gentle warlike people.
