Still Blue, Still Stocking: The Bluestocking remains open in 2021

[ErrolTheDragon]

I've nicked a title, opened the door, dusted off the bar.

Come in and drown your sorrows, celebrate or just hang out in good company.

majority of the kids she teaches are totally fed up with all the attention-seeking and posturing

I left teaching three years ago but even then a lot of students were pissed off with it all.

I've walked past a few times with the aim of popping in for a quick drink, but was too nervous to come in incase I got spotted by the woke bros at work. I've outed myself this week so I just gave them a cheery wave as I finally strolled in.

I'll have a large G&T please. Do you have any scampi fries?

Do you have any scampi fries?

There is a huge variety of snacks behind the bar if people haven't fed them all to the camel.

Have just finished the weekend's work. I shall now fall into bed and hope my shower is as revivifying as I need before my first meeting later this morning.

My Dgs has been eye rolling since before lockdown and he was caught up in all this for a while, so there is hope. Kids know when someone really needs help, they also know posturing when they see it.

I've brought in Henry, the woke vacuum cleaner, pronouns carpets/clean. Wont work if mis gendered, so best be careful whilst I get rid of this camel hair. Good job we're virtual cause I don't have a Henry

Coffee and madeleines anyone?

I have pre-ordered the Helen Joyce book.

Good job we're virtual cause I don't have a Henry

I do. He's a heavy bastard, he has an annoying face and his hose keeps dropping off. I dunno about misgendering, but I certainly call him some choice names at times.

Ooh lovely- I'll have a decaf and a madeleine please. It might re-energise me into doing some housework...

I see he has blue hair.

Definitely up for anything in the foodstuffs department. Have just been gardening, but it has begun to rain.

I've got the opposite here, Grumpy - rained all morning, got soaked on my dog walk and now it's glorious sunshine while I'm stuck inside wrangling Henry and his bloody hose.

My turn to disinfect the camel, I suppose.

@ArabellaScott

My turn to disinfect the camel, I suppose.

Remember not to use bleach, she’s allergic!

Use a good eco multi purpose cleaner, then leave her to drip dry in the glorious sunshine that’s been poured over the board today

Made some pistachio biscotti from your recipe, Embarrassing! Anyone? They look a bit... um, geological, but I can promise that these ones are entirely free from fragments of shell unlike the ones I fed to DH.

Large gin please!

Think I'll join you in a stiffish gin, Your Eminence

And lazy, trade in Henry and his blue hair and his hose for a sensible upright hoover. MIL used to have a Henry. The self-important little tosser used to fall over whenever he was asked to move.

I would like a glass of rose please. Pretending that it is summer and I am on holiday somewhere warm

I always had upright hoovers before, Grumpy, but I was seduced by his smiling face and blue hair. I think you're right - I need to go back to an upright.

Ooh small amount of sunlight on woke DD blue haired wokescoldary!

We watched a bit of a certain late night, naked prog. (please don't judge!)

Beardy Bloke appeared, looking at apparently het women, usual stuff, but when it got to him stripping off, he was actually not. a. bloke.

D D thought this was "unfair" to the women on the show.

We've had some interesting conversations, since.

(She also seems to have been reading some of my GC feminist books, from the way they have been re arranged.)

Can I have a very large G and T, please.

Well that's an interesting development, AutumnCrocus! I'll join you in a large G&T. Of course if TWAW and TMAM, how could it possibly matter or be unfair, whatever beardy bloke has in his pants...? Because we're not supposed to care what genitals people have when we choose a sexual partner, right? I hope your wokescold is seeing the light!

Popping in for a swift half please

Been piquing the interest of a few people lately which I’m quite pleased with. One or two of which have big mouths on them so I think will spread the word!

Ooooo AutumnCrocus. Think I might come and join you and lazy if I may. Afraid I've eaten all the chocolate but I do have some Doritos?

I can scatter some snacks about the place including toasties if you get your orders in - I've just stopped for the night and could do with decluttering my mind.

A good, non-alcoholic toddy of some sort would be very good for me around now while I put the toasties together.

Just nipping in for a quick G&T on my way home from work. I'd love a cheese and branston toastie please @EmbarrassingAdmissions I'll mix you up a nice toddy and I'll stick that programme @AutumnCrocus was watching on on the big telly in the lounge :)
