Les Bas Bleus, The Bluestocking...

En franglais, in English .... open to all women for company, fun and fabulous artworks. Leave unwanted reality in the porch and come along in.

I've still got to rewatch the DVDs for the umpteenth time (they're on my to do list), but aren't those the ingredients for a fried egg chilli chutney sandwich?

'As the name suggests, it was a sandwich that contained three slices of white bread, three fried eggs, chili sauce and chutney. Eating it was described by Arnold Rimmer, who was drunk at the time of eating it, as like "having a baby" and "like a cross between food and bowel surgery". He described that, even though all its ingredients were wrong, somehow it made a right. He likened this fact to Lister's personality. Lister described the sandwich as "well naughty" but stated that the only trouble with it was that it had to be eaten before the bread dissolved.
This sandwich was hologrammatically recreated for Rimmer by Holly in "Thanks for the Memory". Lister described it as a "state of the art sarnie", however Holly was more concerned about "the state of the floor". Rimmer remembered eating the sandwich the next morning, but dismissed it as not the worst thing that had happened that evening. ("Thanks for the Memory", Series II)'

Cake, you're proof that the drinks at the Bluestocking don't give anyone a hangover, if you can eat the pictured breakfast with @DeanElderberry in the background talking about 'faecal fill'.

'Faecal fill', reminds me of someone who was in my class at primary school.

My kids have just discovered Red Dwarf. Me and the eldest decided we need to try that sandwich, sorry, sarnie. The youngest is surviving her first week at uni. She was given a crash course in spag. bol., daal, chilli cc, butter noodles and how to fry an egg. Rang the other day wanting to know how to microwave soup.

I've a pretty strong stomach. It's sad things that are more likely to put me off my food. Not usually a problem at the Bluestocking.

I had a Red Dwarf binge with my dd at some point before she went to uni, which is a few years ago now.
It's probably good training for ensuring they're not overly shocked by other denizens of student halls

I just found this picture on FB - I am so glad the Bluestocking has a more enlightened attitude to quokkas.

They're even cuter in real life!

I think the photo on the right was taken in the Bluestocking bar this morning.
The quokkas seem to be trying to get the gerbils to run around after them.

Lots of cobalt, by the look of it!

"Squinting at Fuzzy's letters" just about sums me up!

Well, you'll no doubt be pleased to hear that my lesson went well, and the soil was very attentive. Also variously sticky, gritty, sandy and generally muddy...

Ah bless

That's hilarious, Boily! 😂😂😂

@Magpiecomplex If you see one of these in your next lesson you'll know Cake has infiltrated your lessons

Nice bit of silt, Boily!

Excuse the smell of bleach, I've just showered in the stuff, (it's @MarieDeGournay fault.)

Can I get a very very large glass of of Bluestocking sloe gin please and a hallucinogenic cocktail or 12 please.

Looks more like loam to me. I will make sure to watch out for infiltrators!

As requested, Boily.

Many thanks. Loved the way you successfully got the tray from the bar to my table despite the quokka that was trying to trip you up.

Still got my safety boots on, Boily. No quokka can argue with those!

Oh yes so you have, I hadn't noticed!

Come on, own up, who's been doing illegal genetic experiments in the basement? Your early test subjects are drinking in the bar, if some of Boily's pictures are to be believed.

Or is this the low reality field manifesting again?

I was working in the lab, late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash, he did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash
He did the mash, he did the monster mash

From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes

They did the mash, they did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They did the mash, it caught on in a flash
They did the mash, they did the monster mash

Moi? what did I do? the teaching soil science um... motif? trope? was Cake's. Alas

'I wish I had said that'
'You will, Oscar, you will'.
Said originally by...? hint: he was a mama's boy..

Don't you be whistling all innocently. It's you're description of a green party member that has caused the bleach shower!

Hi! Have I missed anything? Beetle you've gone blond, you been showering in bleach again?

I could murder a curry, what's on in the kitchen?

Cake and Beetle have been on the gin again ... and tea ...
