The Bluestocking: where conversation should supersede cards

[MyrtleLion]

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.

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...

Avocado is Friday breakfast here, with poached egg.

Do other people have 'magic words' that means they give themselves permission to stop reading a poster, or indeed a thread? One of mine is epistemological - just spotted it, and left it to get on with it.

Yeah... I thought about trying to respond to that one but there was too much word salad trying to hide what I think was a fairly basic invalid argument.

dancing gerbils in frou frou skirts are much better than invalid arguments hiding in word salad.

Though salad is good. Just keep the words out of it.

@AlisonDonut did I see a post on a Fife thread about you having a cry in Aldi? Are you OK?

I didn't understand the post, & may well have misread/misunderstood it/not been in on a joke.

Is it time to move on again?

I believe so.

I'll do it! I'll make sure to put it in the right place...

Next location!

Time to round up the Tunnocks!

I'll chase up a few animals. I'm quite good at that, even if unable to do AI pics of it.
Here, Spartipuss, come on quokkas, Colin- heel!

Sigh, if you want a job doing yourself.

I asked a gerbil to do a sign for the door.

I even left them with a dictionary.

Have the Gerbil buses arrived?

They'll be here in a minute

You'd think they'd have got the hang of it by now!

🎵 So ye'll take the high thoaad and I'll take the low thoaad
And I'll be in the 'Stocking afore ye🎵

Edit: splung

Did you accidentally leave them the runic dictionary? That doubled H looks like something Tolkien's dwarves would be comfortable with!

@ifIwerenotanandroid
Yoo-hoo! Time to leave the lab!

I think so!

I've discovered why one of the micro pigs is missing...

I've found Banned

But she's too cute to wake. I'll have to carry her

I'm really not sure about the dress requirements on the new thread. I nipped into the Staunch Ally whilst looking for Banned and it didn't go down well there.

I think.you look splendid Boily.

I'm naked again now I didn't realise the frou frous were only gerbil attire!

Skirts are a requirement for dancing gerbils, optional for other species/employments,

All stragglers. Calling all stragglers. This thread is now closing.

Please collect your belongings and run like crazy for the door. Because once the door is locked you are stuck in here for all of eternity (or until the internet goes up in a puff of smoke)

Last call

And we are done. On to the next thread

Erm... who does the small beetle belong to? It sure as hell doesn't belong to me, even if it looks like a mini me!
