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.

Or perhaps more like Christmas Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Sticky Christmas Pudding Toffee?

Could you just get a normal sticky toffee pudding and stick some holly on the top?

That would work 😄

Sticky Christmas Pudding Fudge, I'd have that.

On second thoughts… Just imagining the mountain of sugar is putting me off...

They should do a Christmas edition of Tunnocks.

You usually can get Christmas pudding flavoured fudge etc at this time of year

I'd like a Tunnocks advent calendar

Yes!

YES YES AND YES

Oh yes!

I went looking for a photo of a nice smiley Herdwick sheep, as I was going to suggest we have a few in the grounds to keep the nice smiley quokkas company - we don't want them to feel that they are doing all the emotional work around here, now do we?
I found a lovely smiley photo, and was about to post it when I read the name of the website and realised they were selling nice smiley Herdwick meat😨

Absolutely true. As they were believed to be produced from barnacles, hence the name, they were classified as fish and therefore could be eaten on Fridays and during Lent.

Ditto beavers, being aquatic creatures.

Ahhh.. So cute

Didn't the US recently legislate that bees are a type of fish? Plus ça change...

The things you learn here... The things you end up googling! Fish-bees were a thing. Thank you, @Magpiecomplex.

Would love to see any AI-generated fish-bees (haven't graduated beyond Nursery-level Chat GPT yet myself). Need to head off soon, but will check back in tomorrow in the hope of Carrollian weirdness... I guess the Bluestocking's open all night, too?

(NB. I think we may need to accept that the law can change someone's sex after all. I mean, it can make bees swim. 😮)

OK, no need for AI. Nature got there first!

But AI does it cuter

@Catiette Bother!

Oooooooooh!!!

I love it!

Can we keep it?

On the bar?

Eek. Just Boiled's fluffy fish-bee. The swarm's a bit scary!

The AI struggled a bit...

God! The advert shows one thing and the actual product just never lives up to the advert!

What's with the chopsticks bottom left, Android? A random addition, I assume!
