The Blue Stockings Society was founded by women emphasising education and mutual cooperation. Men could attend as invited guests, but in this Women's Pub, they are only welcome to peer enviously through the windows.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Stockings_Society

All women welcome!

All tastes catered for.

All food containing calories will not increase waistlines.

All drink containing alcohol will not intoxicate beyond the mildy merry and slightly inhibited stage. Guaranteed no hangovers.

Don't mind the gerbils, hamster, capybaras, quokkas and other assorted rodents. They're all female, all staff and very accommodating...

Makes passing him off as alive whilst we all dig up your patio then relay it and add some flowering boarders much easier.

I found this post difficult to read and frankly hard to understand how you could suggest murdering somebody and burying their body under the patio and then relaying it ?😨

until I realised that there was a hyphen missing and it should be re-lay the patio over the dead body and add some flowers - now I get it! sure that's grand, off you go!😄

Also I really love my walrus, so even though I know his passcode, it's extremely unlikely that I would murder him because I would be heartbroken.

But it is useful to know I could pretend he was alive if the need arose.

Such as if

  • he wore his outside shoes in the house
  • didn't bring down the right number of hangers to take his washing upstairs
  • accidentally turned off the freezer in the garage, destroying two weeks' worth of emergency dinners, no he would never do that she then apologise and offer to cook some more this week.

I go for Dunne's mens pure cotton pjs. Sadly no pink options, but they come in nice roomy sizes, though I really should shorten the legs. Decorative contents not included, as they always say.

Those are Jolly Nice Jimjams. Shame I don't live in Ireland!

You lovely wims.
Excuse me while I bang head on wall. xx

Boiledbeetle · 09/02/2025 23:01

How much buttercup is it safe for a beetle to consume in one evening? And should I offer a glug or two to my neighbour!

We are currently in a cough off! He coughs up a left lung, we have 30 seconds of quiet (except for the sound of police sirens zipping round the outskirts of town) then I start a coughing fit and cough up a lung. Then 30 seconds of quiet and he starts up again!

My early night had gone to pot!

Do you want a larger glass? I'll ask 20 gerbils if you do

larklane17 · 09/02/2025 23:05

I might go for a glug of buttercup with you Beetle.😊
While I foam at the mouth a little.
Also I have a new inhaler to try you can have a squirt my dear.

I'm sure your Walrus would never do anything like that, Myrtle, because I assume you have him well trained - like thisGrin

<passes over the buttercup>

A blue type or a brown type? And does it make the Whizzy noise of the old 70s/80s ones where you had to shove the capsule in each time?

I remember once being in look of some light relief and having no illegal drugs in the house may have taken way too many goes on a blue inhaler someone left in the bathroom. Did the trick!!

ErrolTheDragon · 09/02/2025 23:13

Wassup, lark?

larklane17 · 09/02/2025 23:26

Hi Errol. my own fault, too much time on a thread on FWR has brought me out in a rash ha ha.
I have stepped away so will be ok.😎

We need to attach a line to everyone so we can just reel them back to the thread without moving from in front of the fire.
