Autumn leaves, crackling fires, quokkas and puffins at the Bluestocking.

A new thread - with apologies to the gerbils for leaving them out of the title.

And this. Another thing I didn't know. Thank you.

Me too! Orange alien overlords ahoy .... thank you so much android

Me? I still don't know the difference between Copilot & whatever I'm using. Beware, though: sometimes this one looks as though it's timed you out & you'll have to sign in again, but don't let it fool you - you're still in it. Just click on the 'start designing' bar or whatever it says, & maybe start typing, & you'll get back to the proper page.

Here is a design for "Team cherisfrozenface" which I thought might be a possible workaround

Boiledbeetle and other bright bugs
Are designing the Bluestocking mugs
We all cheer with glee
As we fill them with tea
But AI considers us thugs.

Could I have the one on the left, please?

I love the violet colour, it looks very user-friendly and the portrait is, spookily, not entirely inaccurate.

😂But AI gives us all whopping jugs ???

I considered " jugs" as a rhyme, but thought it too uncouth! 😁😁

I apologise for trampling over your sensitivities.😉

Oh i think I'll survive. :)

It does, though - it's AI that is uncouth. If you want an AI generated woman to be dressed in normal clothes rather than hot pants, teetering high heels and a push-up bra you have to ask for (for instance) jeans and a woolly jumper, with walking boots. Oh - I believe lesbians don't wear those kinds of flesh- revealing clothes either in AI world.

Wow, that is amazing! I shall have the gerbils send one out to you containing your favourite hot drink as soon as you settle into your favourite corner in the Bluestocking. Hot chocolate with brandy, I believe?

That's my usual, thank you very much.

@SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius

@HerGorgeousMajestyArabellaScott Good luck drinking out of that third one!

These mugs are all so fabulous!

Bar Gerbil, a pint of your finest hot chocolate please. Don't be stingy with the whipped cream and marshmallows.

If anyone needs me, I shall be hiding in a corner with a hypoallergenic support quokka.

Posted twice. Wouldn't mind a second hot chocolate though...

Bad day, Magpie?

Ugh. Students... And senior leadership. And more students. And some marking for good measure, although some of the marking was unintentionally hilarious - one young man clearly has no concept of appropriate measures and volumes and was confidently recommending the use of something 10 metres across, to hold something that's only about half a metre at most 🤣

The Gerbil got the order One hot chocolate coming up, she's working on trying to get the marshmallows in the mug

Thanks Boily. Can I have some of the marlhmarlols too please, they sound intriguing!

You know those bread rolls that are hollowed out and filled with a thick soup? Could I have one of those, please? With some cheese melted on top, and a big mug of tea.

Oh my! Good choice Mags!

Gerbils are quick tonight
