The Bluestocking - where Spring has sprung and the grass is riz.

[SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius]

Welcome all. Can the gerbils please ensure that all the Tunnocks products are safely stowed in the capacious larder, and perhaps the quokkas could be responsible for counting everyone onto the bus and back off at the new thread - many thanks!

Co pilot is too much of a prude and is refusing!

I expected Gemini to do the same. Imagine my surprise when I caved and got given this! 😱
@EdithStourton, are you happy now? 🤣

Blimey!

Even my first effort wasn't that revealing. It just looked like Edith's boobs were on fire and she was holding them. Which, to be fair, is exactly what you would do as they'd be really painful.

I think St Patrick is going to need to do some serious demon-zapping there. I am full of good things including alcohol, steak, and trifle.

The archaeologist who excavated the remains of the 5th century church on Croagh Patrick mountain gave a talk a few years ago. For some reason he decided to sleep on site one night. Remember, this is the place Patrick was assailed by flying demons. Archaeologist woke up in the night, went out for a pee and found himself in pitch darkness surrounded by wings . . . .

And realised it is one of those places flocks of migratory birds rest overnight. Or so he claimed.

Wow to the fireball boobies @MyrtleLion!

Makes my demon effort seem positively demure….

Edith clearly needs a couple of cooling cabbage leaves.

Swashbucked’s dark coated one was a sheep.
but looked full grown not a lamb so I think that’d be onion sauce?

Reminder… all livestock on the Bluestocking premises are friends not food.

Except tribbles.

But she has gorgeous pointy ears and the wing joints have claws so she is very scary...

Goodness gracious great boobs of fire 🔥

I have to agree!
That's a fabulously accurate portrait, Myrtle.

I may have to print those out and pin them over my desk to remind myself of the Inner Me.

Didn’t we decide they were fungoid?

I'm very impressed by the creatures' parade, they really put their hearts into it. I'm scared of way the rest of you put your hearts into the demonic, but do think you have a future in events - you'd give Macnas a run for their money.

It has occurred to me over the past few pages that I know zilch about St Patrick. If I'd known demons were involved when I was at school I'd have paid more attention in RE!

Absolutely everything you need to know about St Patrick, by real historians

Dear All,
Er...
I appear to have a midweek Guinness-induced hangover.
Yours,
Edith 'Boobs of Fire' Stourton

BoobsOfFire sounds like a perfect MN nickname!

Or should it be NorksOfFire?

This thread just gets better and better. Having a difficult time at the moment because real life. Hugely cheered now!

Mumsnet doesn't like my images. I shall put some more on and see what happens.
Pity the poor moose, in her forest bed, tormented by vague worries, comforted by her imaginary friends. She has a cup of cold tea by the bedside. The Sun is shining but she hasn't noticed. Then along comes the funniest thread ever.

I'm sorry you are having a rough time at the moment, @inkymoose - is there anything we can do to help? Vats of hot chocolate? A sympathetic shoulder? Dancing gerbils?

Thank you Woley. Yes please! All of the above would do very nicely.

And upon the thought...
