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!

Just spent ten minutes trying to generate an image of the BlueStocking Arms with gerbils drinking pints and a sign above the bar saying ‘Servare Fidem’ in honour of parents of other miniCautiouses (Keep the Faith).

I give up [couldn’t even get a ‘sulking gerbil’ to post instead]!!

Let me give it a go...

That’s fabulous news, @CautiousLurker01!
as to your dogs - Colin has been in residence since about 2017 so yes, they’re allowed. It’s humans we’re picky about, though obviously the males of other species are expected to behave with appropriate decorum - no cushion-humping etc please.

They’ve both had the emasculation jab [can’t bring ourselves to cut their bits off]

Murphy and Cooper… bonus points to the person who can name the film the names come from…

Here you go, @CautiousLurker01 !

Servare fidem is Latin for “keep the faith” or "preserve trust.”

It implies loyalty, integrity, and staying true to commitments — very on-brand for a pub run by feminist gerbils and inspected by a lioness, frankly.

My thoughts exactly - thank you.

I couldn’t get the AI generator that I was using to spell it properly, or to give my gerbils a pints which is tragic for a pub!!

Tbf a gerbil would probably drown in a pint. They have dinky little tankards about the size of a large thimble; it takes considerable skill on their part to get them mostly full of beer with just a millimetre or two of head.

I would LOVE a women’s pub in real life. It’s wall to wall pints, rugby and stopping and staring at you when you have the audacity to enter as a non-regular round here.

My girlfriends and I are reduced to drinking our own booze down on the riverbank !

I pay for ChatGPT so it might do more and better images as a result.

Cheaper than a therapist. Though I still pay for a therapist.

Apologies. No gerbil should be harmed in the persuit of serving beer or servare fidum!

They manage (by teamwork I suppose) to serve pints - it’s their own drinks that need scaling to an appropriate size.

Not too bad on a day like today. But guessing not so much fun in the middle of December!

Indeed. We are also technically in breach of various bye laws. If we get too lairy, we may have to deal with The Bill.

Oh, you mean the film.
i thought for a moment it was a comment on what happens to gerbils who are incautious around pints of reassuringly expensive lager.

If those pix are of @MarieDeGournay and @Swashbuckled, the two of them need to get a room.

I have many girlfriends actually - it’s more of a posse situation down the river - but the bubbly is right on point so I’m not going to quibble!

Hope there’s a Mai Tai in that order?
