The Bluestocking Arms Women's Pub, where women make friends with Beetles, Androids, Cakes, Dragons, Hedgehogs and other women, where wit and wisdom flourish

[inkymoose]

Here at the Bluestocking there's a place for all women. A break from Reality, and many laughs and stories to share. Have your fill of Tunnocks bars and tea cakes, sing feminist anthems, drink as much beer or gin or hot chocolate as you desire. It won't make you fatter or drunken but oh, it's fun. Sit in the garden with our Lion resident or the Quokkas and Capybara. Express your opinions loudly in Pedantry Corner. Ask for whatever you fancy to be served by our obliging Gerbil staff. Come in, all women, welcome!

Boily, have you just committed me to marking seven huge essays next Monday? You do know it's a bank holiday, don't you?

They are coming on in leaps and bounds. Gaynor not quite getting her periodic whatsits right at the blackboard, but getting there.

Is it me or do the gerbils look a little too obedient?

Distinct Midwich vibes.

Definitely!

Well, at least they've put the astrophysics degrees to good use!

I can never see the word "astrophysics" without thinking of Ben and Holly's Little Kingdom, and the astrofizzlecist.

Don't tell them about the canaries!

Well done on the singing gig btw.

Right. The gerbils are now banned from accessing the Internet. It's not good for us them, they will get too clever and soon we'll be cooking their food!

Bloody AI!!

Meanwhile, the gerbil Room-temperature Fusion Research Group is showing all the characteristics you'd expect from a group of physicists.

Love the stuff on the whiteboard 😂

It's the bananas on the side that got me. I didn't ask for them, but they are just right!

Oh to go back to a simpler time when gerbils were gerbils and knew their station in life.

Unfortunately you've opened Pandora's Box now Boily. They are educated gerbils. Although that's only fitting, considering they are female gerbils at the Bluestocking.

Suddenly I feel picked on!

Cracked me up too.

I wouldn't worry too much about their level of education, given the bickering over Scrabble the other night. They'll argue black is blue, and then decide that it's all too stressful and that working in the Bluey was more fun.

Look, I'm not a genius, I'm just a gerbil.

They're doing maths! And drinking! Will we have to wait on them?

They've outstripped me. I am officially Less Brainy than the Average Gerbil.

Gerbils have got amazing kidneys. I bet they wouldn't even get hungover.

Do they?
I have grotty kidneys. I need to be more gerbil.

They don't wee, do they? Being desert animals.

Indeed!

Perfect, Boily!

I'm loving the gerbils having the ability to spell properly, it means they can truly say what they think now!

First attempt and... No men! Not even a sneaky one in the background!!!!

A lot of those women look related.

True “sisters” 😊
