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!

Is that the latest version of the Wolf Cut hairdo I am sporting?

☺️

where I come from, every single day is Awkward Moments Day.

😂😂

Those headphones are GRATE. The advert did remind me of this picture, though:

I love this. I'm on my fourth headband. The latest one was accidentally washed with the bedding so the electronics went kaput.

Hello just strolling over to chaise langue for a lie down just done three hours gardening and am knackered…

I believe it's also National Black Pudding Day today!

It'd be nice to have a day that didn't contain at least one awkward moment.

It’s noticeable these are national events, not international.

.

I would be knackered but life is too busy...

I know the feeling!

Arabella, I have a confession to make:
you posted this on 14/03/2025 12:28 and I've only just now got the joke that it was the follow-up line to the new thread title.🙄 I obviously skipped over it too quickly.
It was very funny and deserved the 'funny' reaction, which I belatedly bestow on it. She who laughs last and all that...

I know a different version, @MarieDeGournay -

Spring is sprung,
The grass is riz
I wonder where dem birdies is.
Dey say de bird is on de wing,
But dat’s absurd, because de wing is on de bird!

It's a slow burner, Marie!

I know Woley's version, although birdies is spelt boidies in the one I know.

You are right, @Magpiecomplex - I’d forgotten that.

Huh feel ignorant

You're a sad loss to the Diplomatic Service, Arabella😂

My DGD used to recite it with a cartoon New York accent:
Da Spring is sprung
Da grass is rizz
I wonder where da boydies is
Da boyd is on da wing
But that's absoyd
Da wing is on da boyd.

That was my DM's version.
Ever the optimist, my DM.

Turn around, Android! There are 3 MEN marching into the Bluestocking ... NOT OK!

Shall we have national day of the Sprout, or National Apple Crumble Day? Some of us are vegetarians, you know.

Copilot had the nerve to tell me it could not show images with national flags in them!!! What a load of old rubbish! It is always sticking the Union Jack in pictures when you don't want it. But ask for an Irish flag no no no I can't do that oh no somebody might find it offensive na na na na neh ...

The expression on that diner's face is priceless 🤣
