The Bluestocking Women's Pub, where brains can exist in a single state

[Magpiecomplex]

Welcome all. The booze here is minimally intoxicating, the food is calorie free and the staff are warm and cuddly. And if the thread title sounds nonsensical, blame the guy Myrtle was listening to this evening!

So now you could get the AI to do another denizen of the Bluestocking holding that, and then…

...we could all get Banned's son to buy us t-shirts.,

Yes?

Am sure he would he knows my politics and does not disagree

Famous for stealing hiding eating carefully looking after everyone's Tunnock's teacakes!

I'll be signing autographs in the lounge!

I'll give it a go, it did just throw this out at me though!

AI got the wrong end of the stick

And then sometimes AI just does completely it's own thing!

.

Hedgehogs all the way down.

😀

Very good

Love the t-shirt @Bannedontherun

and Happy Birthday!🥳

Oooooh! It was doing so well then gave up on the last t shirt!

Hey Banned would you like a laugh for your birthday?
A while ago we both said we liked Born Slippy by Underworld - here's a parody by an Irish TV puppet called Dustin the Turkey, famous for his irreverence and strong Dublin accent.
With that in mind, I suggest you get the lyrics up on the screen before you start listening - I said strong Dublin accent!
Boorger bar, boorger bar, boorger bar
No pethrol in de car, who's gonna pay
It's yeeewwww, boy
😂
This is mostly between me and Banned, but anybody else who wants to relive dancing to club anthems in the mid 1990s, and who thinks cartoon turkeys with Dublin accents are funny - be my guest!

But it's mostly for
Yeewwww, Banned
Happy birthday!

lyrics Dustin the Turkey – Born Greasy Lyrics | Genius Lyrics

My favourite Dustin song is I've Never Been to Meath, lyrical toponymy up there with Flanders and Swann's Slow Train and Steven Vincent Benet's American Names (not the easiest poem to read well, but we all know the last line).

Happy birthday Banned!

😂Yes it's brilliant!

But I really think Dustin missed out on a gem: 'I've been to Garadice, but I've never been to Meath'

I have no idea who Dustin the Turkey is - I mean of course the human who 'does' Dustin- and the funny thing is I don't want to know, I sort-of want to keep believing that there really is this shoddy-looking Tooorkeee from Dublin with the classic Dublin disdain for hierarchy and pretentiousness, and a very very clever way with words. Some of them quite rude, but always clever.😄

I'm off to Google SVB's American Names now...

..which I just have, and ..so that's where 'Bury my heart at Wounded Knee' comes from!
And there was me thinking it came from the lips of a dying Lakota🙄
Every day a school day at the Bluestocking, thank you Deano for adding to my store of facts, and it's not even 11.15 a.m. yet

Happy birthday, Banned! 🎉🎉🎉🎂🎂🎂

Sometimes when you google a question the answer is irritatingly nannyish "just because cats can eat almonds doesn't mean they should".

Gee thanks

I gather the half almond that should have been MINE might or might not cause a mild digestive upset in the greedy opportunist food bandit.

<Strolls in sits down at the bar looking exhausted>

thanks all for the birthday wishes and images.

Got home Friday lunchtime. Wacked through four loads of washing, cleaned house watered plants, decided would do the garden Saturday

Saturday 8.00am can i have baby banned 2 for the day as mum is ill and i have to work

So did that.

Went out with mates that night got carried away, Sunday hungover daughter gets here for 10.am with baby banned one and three.

Baby banned three is now a screecher spent the day between tantrum toddler and screeching baby, out for birthday meal for 1.00pm. Mother 40 minutes late dying of starvation.

got home for six, bath time, soothing baby, and frazzled mum.

Broken night sleep.

They have just left.

I need a large gin and tonic, a plate of snowballs, and a holiday pleeeeese

I'm sure all will be fine

Oh, Banned, not the birthday you planned!
The gerbils are one it, though, don't worry.

We appear to have new staff. None of which have managed to get it quite right!

Are those green things Dubai Tunnocks <suspicious> Just because everyone else and his wife are doing it they don't have to join in.

Not that I'd turn one down if it were offered <hypocrite>.
