Facemasks on for a trip to the Bluestocking

[CaraDuneRedux]

We haven't had a Bluestocking thread for fucking ages.

Anyone fancy a socially distanced, tables of no more than 6, Bluestocking?

The goat has been covid tested and the patriarchy busting canon polished up to remove all possible virus traces from its surface.

Remember, MN spans the globe, and it's always before the 10pm curfew somewhere.

This and the solution to the protein folding problem in one day! (maybe that's just me?)

@HecatesCats

Fuck it. Drinks all round! And scotch eggs!

But are they a substantial meal?!

Cheers all, wouldn't mind a glass of fizz if there's any left? Wouldn't want to be anywhere else other than in the company of excellent women on a night like tonight

I think its empty, but I've a champagne bottle kicking around my house from a celebration in April 2013 for sentimental reasons ...I could put some shandy in it? :helpful face:

Jus5 saying the hot cheesy wotsits start ok then just turn into cheesy tears of regret.

Never again

I might have to have a shower to rid myself of th3 foul smell

Hot cheesy wotsits? That sounds reminiscent of the weetabix horror littlbrowndog ?

this is far more mellow than last call, and I like

As the change sets in, we are one again
As the game begins, we are one again
This is the natural order of things, change sets in

I miss womens spaces. I had the opportunity to learn to badly but enthusiastically DJ through a womens collective that did the cd deck equivalent of open mic at one of their club nights in the '00s , and I ended up doing my own night music playing with friends a year or two later.

We did DJ support for a band that I loved before they got big, and whose members are sometimes involved with this is the kit. First time I heard TOTK I thought the guitar riff sounded familiar...then I realized who was playing it..
Shandy galore. Sorry.

The...the...wot?

Hot cheesy wotsits. They are a new thing

Don’t buy them they go with neither a cup of tea or booze

Tears of regret for what I thought would b3 tears of delight

there's nothing much worse than an disappointing and offensive snack. Thank you for the heads up.

Has anyone tried the replacement cheese footballs, yet? Used to be KP, Iceland now only have Cheetos version. Not sure I can cope if they're horrible....

I got two strikes yesterday (my first two ever!) so you might have to feed me wotsits out the pub window if I get another

That’s not good, Betty careful now!

Careful Betty. Two in one day is harsh.

Come sit with me Betty pats banquette

Might be time for a new username, there seems to be something about this one that attracts attention!

One of my zaps was on the transwidow thread and was a direct support message to a US based soon-to-be-transwidow. I wouldn’t normally post there but it was early hours (I have major peri menopausal insomnia issues at present!) and I didn’t want her to feel unnecessarily isolated due to the time zone issues between here and there.

It was only the kind of robust comment you’ll commonly see over on the relationships board - really hammers home how much harder it is for women seeking a divorce from a ‘stunning and brave’ spouse to access support, compared to one trying to get free of a common or garden arsehole.

I got a strike for quoting malcolm tucker 😒🤣

That’s amazing.

Desperately hoping it was the ‘Who did your media training?’ one.

Sympathise with the peri-menopausal insomnia Betty, find it hard to get off to sleep myself and wake up way too early. You take care now.

Thats quite fucking impressive.

I feel I can't reference Malcolm tucker without a 'fuck'.

I feel like I should know who Malcolm Tucker is. Got one for quoting Pratchett a while back, that was a bit of a wtf? moment.

Highly offensive, trigger warnings, etc:

Come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off!

I've fallen into a Tucker wormhole.

this one is fucking killing me:

I am flat on my back with some kind of evil flu or Covid mix (awaiting test). So, make is social distanced brandy to kill the evil little germs off whilst I toast Keira Bell's success. I am also staying away from the Amesty thread on twitter (twitches fingers).

Oh, dear. Hope you feel better soon. Brandy is good, also recommend Vit C and D.
