Bluestocking - the second leg

[ErrolTheDragon]

The original premises are getting crowded, we need to expand.

Welcome all women, and well behaved animals.

A triple, I think. With a mixer and a few cubes, for the look of the thing. Ta very much.

Do you know " pain in the arse, bog off" in all languages?

Or "rain in the arsenal" which autocorrect prefers.

Autocarrot is such a prude.

Oddly enough, I do tend to pick up naughty words and phrases quite quickly when I've been learning languages. Funny, that.

When I read difficult person not answering the phone I linked it with the woman in the image with her phone line disappearing into the sand, and then I thought - desert island, lab coat (with ice cube sleeves), strange mutant animals - she's Doctor Moreau, isn't she?

This is all getting scary.

That's crap, hope you get it all out of the way soon. Having stuff like that hanging over you is awful.

They look splendid with their little bow ties, thereby validating ZZ Top's immortal line:
Cos every gurl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed gerbil

..or are they the quokkas? I'm finding all this shapeshifting a tad difficult to
follow
Great fun, but

Cos every gurl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed furry

No, really no.

Cos every gurl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed support animal

Buggers the scansion, though.

Cos every gurl's crazy 'bout a sharp-dressed mammal

Marsupials are officially mammals, so that might work.

Now I've got an earworm.

She's got pockets and she knows how to use them...

<flings self into bar>
<Demands triple whisky>
Bloody hell, committee meetings always take 2x as long as they need to.

Apologies I was in the back hand feeding the quokkas...

Oh I see you found your own way behind the bar and are already onto your third triple.

Can someone give me a hand pouring Edith into a chair in the snug. Maybe the chaise longue would be better .

He he he!

<Places large glass of water to hand> I think she'll need this later.

You shouldn't be hauling other people around, Beetle, but glad you're feeling well enough for some harmless mischief.

Dont worry. There were quite a lot of gerbils doing the heavy lifting, you've seen footage of ants carrying things, it was a bit like that, I just told them left a bit, right a bit, mind the table etc.

I will admit the cat whiskers are not coming off any time soon 😏

And some wipes.

I've been wondering, why do some of the toilet cubicles in this pub have two toilets in them?

The stuff on the wall is nothing to do with me by the way, I think I'm being set up!!!

Twobicles, haven't seen many of those lately.

I thought they were called "pie-clets" like a kind of tiny pie.

Pie-clets in the sauna. Just to distract the women in the sauna from Sad Thoughts or Weariness.

'Pikelet' is a late 18th century word, from the Welsh (bara) pyglyd ‘sooty (bread)’, so called because it was made on a bakestone over a fire rather than in an oven.

The word must have made its way into English via the Midlands, judging by Wright's English Dialect Dictionary, which notes it as used in Yorkshire, Lancashire. Cheshire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire. Leicestershire, Northhamptonshire, Warwickshire, Worcestershire. Shropshire, Gloucestershire, Norfolk and Somerset.

<Stumbles to mirror>
Boiled! Boiled! You bastard!
Sodding SHARPIE you have used!

I need a strong cup of tea and a sense of humour infusion.
Or I may retract all my get welly wishes.

That is very interesting. I've lived in quite a few of those places, including Lancashire, Staffordshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Gloucestershire. But I've got a feeling I first heard the word Pikelet in the West Midlands, which isn't included above.

I'm just about to start my second mug.
Pikelet with that?

And I'm sure (this being the Bluestocking) we have some sort of effective but mild cleanser around. Either with a gorgeous fragrance or none at all, it will leave your skin refreshed and gently glowing.

Thank you Errol.
Can I have a pikelet with that?
