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.

Thanks hell

pigling no...but i did shove a bit of pavlova through someones letter box once 😀

Bit mushed...

Looks amazing Rufus! I went to a non virtual, actual pub this evening, but they didn't have any cakes. Shouldn't have bothered.

Rufus - basically a heart attack in a cake

I would find that very tempting and restorative if feeling a little wan and < 100% or if I were feeling tickety-boo tbh or pretty much anytime

God I need a pint. And then another one please.

🍺 🍺

There you go.

Sorry Errol, I was in the loo alternately sobbing and banging my head against the cistern. Light relief after today's display of the total capture of another women's equality org.

I've brightened up now. Cheers! The next round is on me. Would you like a packet of badger scratchings too?

Sounds like an offer I can't refuse. There's a food van called Badger Snacks, maybe that's what they sell.

You'd think so but I've learned the hard way that you can't judge a book by its cover... settles down by the fire in the hope that someone will ask me to tell them more...

Oops, I'd better get you a drink and the badger scratchings first Errol. What's it to be?

Tell me more...oh bugger, I think you've given me a Grease earworm

Oh nooooo!
You need to deal with that sharpish. I recommend salt on its tail to encourage it to leave. Or you could play this on a loop for an hour or two...

National anthems cure earworms. Anyones will do.

The Mexican Hat Dance dislodges earworms; sometimes it then takes over the vacated earspace. Do you feel lucky?
(So lucky lucky lucky?) There. An earworm heartlessly created for the sole purpose of experimentation.

You lucky thing! Our hotel did an amazing sort of salmon tartare.

Mind you, no breakfast pints in Norway at £10 a pop.[/quote]
I feel very lucky. Work trip too. It’s been sunny and warm for two days, but it’s currently snowing outside my bedroom window.

That chocolate cake looks fabulous. Rufus. I’m going to make my first ever attempt at salted caramel cake this weekend.

Drinks at lunchtime used to be wonderful. No longer. I’d love my young body back, but only if my mind could stay mature.

Oh... sorry Badger, didn’t see you there by the fire, please do tell....

Please place your order for eggs with the breakfast chef.

We’ve got fried, poached, scrambled, boiled, coddled, baked, omletted, raw (for dogs, but also on request for humans or badgers), in cakes, devilled, green with ham, 1000 year old, en cocotte, with Mayo, in a shakshuka, (sp??) and pickled.

Come fortify yourself for the day ahead

Ooh, one of each please. I feel a haranguing coming on and need some extra vim and vigour today!!

I’d like some cheese with mine please, to stuff in my ears to muffle the harranguage, which has become a little strident of late.

Coddled please.

(Eggs not minds of course)

Is uncoddling possible?
Decoddled?

(Minds not eggs)

The eggs are the only things that are coddled round here, R0. No coddled minds, thank you very much!

Your orders are imaginarily winging through the ether, pigling and anyold. Please tip your waiter.

Is harranguage a word? I love it.

Our thermodynamics lecture once finished a lecture with 'how do you unscramble an egg?'

The answer is feed it to a chicken. (Yes, you'd need more egg in than you'd get out, to spoil a joke with pedantry)

Is harranguage a word? I love it.
Haranguage, n: the pompous language used for haranguing.

Excellent portmanteau coinage.

Can someone remind me why I thought it was a good idea to arrange a meeting for 9am?

The answer is feed it to a chicken.

Would that count as cannibalism?
