I'm going to take a punt on the size 16s. Or is the 14 fairly roomy?

I don't know the backstory, but I'm fucking sick of Foucault so I'm happy to buy to just to enjoy the quality insult (presumably safe in the knowledge this is all GC?)

Had an update from the Gerbils that first set of items are in the post. Second set probably won't be far behind and we'll all be enrobed in Foucault, gerbils, and steampunk cats.

I'm due my next delivery at some point after the weekend I think.

I was out in public for a good few hours yesterday with my Foucault addled t shirt, whilst no one approached me, I did get some looks!

Although that may well have been because I wasnt wearing anything else apart from the t shirt!

😉

Alvin and Co are chipmunks, not gerbils @Boiledbeetle ,you don't need to have them as your fashion inspo.

Not just GC but funding its work (current total just over £20...)

But it's so airy! 😁

me:
Can you draw me a chipmunk wearing a t shirt and a gerbil wearing a top hat both carrying placards that say "Chipmunks are just as incoherent as gerbils"

AI: 👇

As I'm having a tea break ...

Me: Can you draw me a pencil drawing of some gerbils wearing suffragette scarves and t shirts standing under a sign that says "Nest of Vipers"

AI: 👇

Soooo tempted to change my username to nestofvippers. Or possibly emotionalsupportvipper.

What the heck does 'Neom of of vicit viftes' mean?

Maybe we should all rename ourselves after various people in Aston’s Forensic Linguistics department?

Sigh! Microsoft if I pay actual money will you spell my placards better? And maybe stop adding extra paws??

Me: Can you draw me a group of gerbils wearing tshirts in white, green and purple holding placards that say "keep your paws off our words"

AI: 👇

I'll get back to you! Short sleeved definitely

Now there's a thought!

The mis-spellling is the bees kneees. As it fluxxomes the Aston Scrapper.

You mean you don't know? And you have the audacity to call yourself a Mumsnetter!

(Let me know if you find out!)

Well, I google-translated it from Latin & got 'Neom of of won the fans'. I'm getting there. I think AI is trying to tell us something.

Maybe that gerbil has an only fans account?

Me: Can you draw me a visual representation of Mumsnet users posting on this thread

AI: 👇

Me: you do realise we aren't all gerbils don't you?

AI: for fucks sake!

@Boiledbeetle You're good at this stuff, is there any way you can get it to draw me three otters in a trenchcoat. I want them all to be pretending to be one person, but all I get out of it is three otters in three trench coats, like some kind of deranged boyband.

Love this. Going to do this.

"AI, show me a gerbil looking trashy holding a placard that says 'Tits in bio'."😂

I think I just peed a little!
