Bluestocking! The Gerbical

[ifIwerenotanandroid]

Welcome to the Bluestocking, where gerbils dance & quokkas - well, no-one's quite sure what they're up to.

If you fancy a basement level in it I'm very knowledgeable on top down basement construction. We could stick a cake gravy pool down there

Bugger Quooker and its boiling water.

Let's have Quokka shaped taps for our sweet sauces.

The story of a rescue....

You're not supposed to put the tunnocks teacakes on top of me though ... who is that woman? Get rid of her please

Oh Henri ... you are so .... rugged

Oh no... I've losht them teacakeses ... and where's my Franglaish teacher gone

I was dreamin' I was inside a tunockx chea take

@inkymoose I fully expect to see it on the 9pm news! 😁

And "Who is that woman??"

I don't know who that woman is but she clearly has a well-developed pincer grip but not much else

Thank you for the kitten, Boily. I'm keeping her. Her name is Snowball. Not to be confused with snowballs.

I think she would enjoy the banqueting house too.

It's the cat distribution system at work I see!

Far, far too young.
Can I have some cake gravy on this chocolate pudding? I need to drown my sorrows and I'm trying to give up booze during the week.

Oh come on!!!!

Don't make me admit to myself I'm old enough to be their mother!

Pass me the cake gravy when you're done!

Can we have one of those chocolate fountains, unless that's a euphemism for something I'd rather not know about. I've always wanted to give one a go and I've never had the opportunity.

Glad to see you're safe Boiled. Tunnocks should be in every rescue vehicle. Silver foil blanket, mallow fluff for insulation and to give blood sugar a boost. And, I believe, can be used as an ad hoc thingy to estimate the altitude.

Found some artists' impressions of the new Bluestocking banqueting hall. I do hope there's cheese, as well as puddings

Well, I am too, if it's any comfort.
There's plenty of cake gravy left over...

Do you think the quokkas can have it done by Wednesday?

The cheese board, Inky...

What a great idea, although I fear it may cause more calls to emergency services!

"Hello! Yes I'm fine but I accidentally dropped my Tunnock's tea cake over the edge of a cliff, can you send a replacement? How long? 6 hours!! Would it arrive any faster if I told you the tea cake was in the back pack strapped to my husband? 10 minutes! Great!"

I still love the fact that on a visit to Glasgow last year the room came with Tunnock's Caramel Wafers sat by the tea and coffee (unfortunately that was the only good thing I have to say about the time spent in that hotel)

Is that stilton lurking on that board? ?

Get ready for the grand opening! The gerbils have finished rehearsing and they're going to put on a most spectacular display.

Mmmmmm cheeeeeeese

I believe it's the infinitely superior Stichelton, Boily.

Excuuuuse meeee but I was about to identify as the helicopter on the left - the one with the Fenestron System Anti-torque Rotor - but apparently only men know about helicopters😡
I'll be sulking in a corner somewhere, if anybody's interested. <sniff>

Anti-torque!? But I thought it was good to torque!

I should probably go sit in a corner too.
