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.

Foxes, badgers and Veuve Cliquot. This is going to be good.

Well played Rufus

I like my name to be relevant and suitable for the current times 😀

And ive been sniggering since some saddo took offence to a cartoon

Its been ages...

The resident badgers approve Rufus. What's the collective noun for badgers?

A cete

Though it should be a fart of badgers surely

Or a fluff of badgers

A trump of badgers

A noxious fume of badgers

Cets boring

How come frogs get an army

And crows a murder

Much cooler

Namechanged to raise a glass to absent friends.

Settles in for a second evening of good company and badger related information. wine for anyone?

A glass of wine would be lovely, something white, very cold and dry.

A dazzle of zebras has to be the best? The resident badgers like 'fluff'

I always liked “a shrewdness of apes”.

Ravens got the shitty end of the stick though.

A flamboyance of flamingos

A bloat of hippos

A durrante of toucans

Thats ones rubbish as well

No offence lost

None taken (unless you think I have a nose like Jimmy Durante )

Oh god is that why toucans are called that do you think?

Thats just rude

Best not tonight but tomorrow I think I'm furloughed again so yes then.

As for group of things names my personal favourite is a smack of jellyfish.

Smack of jellyfish 😀

I quite often ask dd (19) does she want a smack (jokingly obvs)

She usually says no but she might say yes if i say jellyfish 🤔

An embarrassment of pandas

I don’t know, maybe?

Mind you, baboons have to be a flange.

An implausibility of gnus.

It appears there maybe a badger in the pub garden...

Apparently it would like a disaronno with maraschino cherries (i think just to make me google spellings)

I’ll pop it on the patio...we do have a patio dont we?

No! Really

Always delighted to catch a glimpse of them.
