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!

Not unless you want reporting to the RSPCMC (like the RSPCA but for mythical/magical creatures).

Does seem a bit mean on Nessie!

She's a fish, and a clown, does that trigger any ideas?

On this thread!

On so many threads!

My AI predicts "Bluestocking women's pub" the moment I type in B!

I am worried about @MarieDeGournayidentifying as a gerbil because we or the staff might mistake her for gerbil staff. Instead of relaxing here in the pub, she might be pressed into providing drinks and foot rubs.

But I do get the desire to identify as something AI-able as I changed to a lion for that reason.

I love the idea of Marie as a punk angel, though without the facial tattoo...

Oooh Myrtle that's a fab pic of our Marie.
A bit of an Annie Lennox vibe there, looking at her her facial features.
💜💟💚

Not a glass of Merilot?
Too classy for the house red, are we?
(I'm at the point where I'd drink anything, so this may be more of a reflection on than you.)

Good point, Myrtle, and I'm the sort of person gerbil who, instead of archly replying 'I beg your pardon, I am not a serving-gerbil if you don't mind!' would just fetch the drinks and do the foot-massage so as not to inconvenience anyone🙄
So I'm resigned to being a human. Your impressive pink-haired punk angel looks like she would take no nonsense!

But it appears that the first punk angel is the preference of Swashbuckled, and who am I to argue, so I'm going with that, despite the slightly disturbing Dorian Gray aspect😁

I've really enjoyed this, thank you for all the fun of trying on identities like outfits - only in the Bluestocking, eh?

<Checks serving gerbil carefully for wings>
Wheel out the hot chocolate plunge pool again please. Real life has been extra real, and very lifey, today.

Here you go @Magpiecomplex

Sorry you had too much reality kind of day.

Oh, that's perfect! Thanks Swashy!
I may just stay here all weekend.

Gohocoa Eruninge Pob sounds like the gerbils have been trying to summon some of those St Patrick's Day demons!

I thought “Sod it; I’ll join you!”.
But I appear to be struggling to breathe.

Demon summoning…oh, another thing we’ll have to keep our eye on 🙄.

That's what happens when you let the chipmunks help. Too busy singing in little squeaky voices to think about a lifebelt.

I wonder if their little squeaky voices were saying “Get up, Magpie! You’re squashing her and she can’t breathe!”

Bless them for trying to save my life though.

I suppose a life belt wouldn’t be a bad idea…soonish, I’d say. 🤣

Just don't ask how the chipmunk isn't sinking...

Is he Jesus? Do we have the Messiah among us? 😮

The Sermon on the Mount isn't going have quite the same effect when spoken by a chipmunk...

Think it might have drawn more of a crowd though… 🤣

Hey Stockingers I'm back from my afternoon organising the donations to Sex Matters over on the SP vs NHS Fife thread, and guess who I've just sent an email to?
✨Naomi Cunningham!✨
yes that's right:
✨Naomi Cunningham!✨

I know how many fans she has on MN, so and I'm thinking of turning my copy of the email into a non-fungible token to be offered to the highest bidder

I've now exceeded my comfortable screen time for the day, so no more fun and games dahn the Stockin' for me for now.

So glad you didn't drown in the chocolate, Swash - though I would of course have swooped in to rescue you on my new black wings😄

How have you all managed to change names mid-thread? I keep getting a message that I must use the name I first used on this thread.

I had to wait for a new thread before I became a lion.

Ah thanks Myrtle. I'm contemplating being Gerbilinme, but that looks like either something goblinesque or a variation of Geronimo. For a poet, I can be sadly unimaginative in these matters.

@MarieDeGournay

Very impressive! I imagine you might frame her reply 😊.

Black wing rescue is something I will
bear in mind for future disasters. Thank you.
