The Bluestocking. All gerbils welcome, must have own frou-frou skirt.

New thread!

Same for you, Fuzzy! Love the punk vibe!

First time popping in, for me.
I was passing a few months back and had a look through the window but felt a bit confused by the gerbils; thought I’d come in this time.

(Actually, have been stood outside for a bit cos I thought something was kicking off, but it seems to have died down 🤣.)

So, do I just order a drink and a gerbil brings it? If so, I’ll have a single malt, but a double single malt. Thanks.

(Not quite sure what to expect at this point, but shall just sit by the fire, to quietly get my bearings.)

Hello there think i have seen you on the Sadie threads.

Welcome. It’s mad and random we just chat shit have love affairs adopt animals and rest from the real world.

I identify as a hedgehog, it is quite good fun to choose an animal to be so then you get to be included in the AI

Be careful, the gerbil is a budding poet she's probably stealing your poem ideas.

Thanks @Bannedontherun

Yes, I’ve been hanging out on there; have seen you there too.

Ah, thanks re the animal choosing info. My first thought was to say rook, but all the other animals look so kind of cute and cuddly. I shall ponder. 😊

Shags, otoh, have an integral fascinator.

@Boiledbeetle

Ah, please thank the gerbil for the drink; it’s really hit the spot.

She is welcome to steal all of my ideas; how could I resist that beautiful little face?

Oh, and how did you know that was me? It’s like I’m looking at myself 🤣

No rooks as far as i know, we had a couple of vulture bodyguards at one point, some seagulls ( we left them on another thread) and there is magpie and puffin.

Surely Swashbuckled is a pirate?

Can't get one without the beard...

Old point myrtle

Oh, and have never worn (and never shall) a fascinator.

Or a ?froufrou.

Loving the suit I’m wearing though…and the book. And the gerbil. And the whisky.

So glad I popped in; it’s very therapeutic.

Good i mean

So that is settled you identify as a pirate ( and can wear eye liner) Minx

@MyrtleLion

Ooh, a pirate would be good! Didn’t realise it could be based on username.

Know what you mean about the beard though. Makes me feel a bit like that new fangled sort of woman…..

@Bannedontherun

Brilliant; thanks!
Pirate, eyeliner, woman (but in man pirate clothes).

@Swashbuckled So excited at a new member pirate y sort of woman

@Bannedontherun

I’m feeling very excited too!

What a lovely pub! (I’d probs class it as a Tavern, but I’m adapting to my new world here…)

Spell check TEVERN

Ha!

No; spellcheck LIVELY. Thought about keeping it, but lovely was what I meant. And it’s nice and chill…

Destroy the fascinator! @Boiledbeetleapplauds as the vorpal blade goes snicker snack

@inkymoose 🥳🤣

Bit worried suddenly that I’ve left someone’s favourite fascinator for dead…

Actually, I think it was in lost property, and nobody ever came back for it and the gerbils wanted rid of it. The gerbil who brought me another drink just clarified this after I apologised for getting carried away.

Bloody Hell, that was close though; don’t want to get barred on my first visit. 😬
