The Bluestocking Women’s Pub - The Return of Salad and the Lion

[MyrtleLion]

It’s been a while since I last saw everyone!

Welcome to everyone, regulars, lurkers, newly ventured in.

A place for women to discuss whatever takes their fancy, where the bar staff are attentive gerbils, Rosy the Red Panda is available for cuddles and all sweet things have no calories and all alcohol leaves the drinker slightly merry and hangover-free.

Everyone is welcome, though the men can hang out at The Staunch Ally next door.

Anyone peering in through the windows can come in - the more the merrier. Silliness abounds, usually in the form of AI images depicting the animal forms of the regulars. And lots of comfort is available for anyone having a tough time.

Fair warning: bring in Tunnocks Teacakes at your own risk, though. Our beloved BoiledBeetle believes they all belong to her and is likely to appropriate them.

She’ll have a shock when she discovers that Banned has half-inched them! 🤣

Our local home bargains has just started stocking the dark chocolate tunnocks again 🥳

Boily doesn’t like the dark chocolate ones, so knock yourself out!

Great! They are like gold dust usually.

On the way ….

Being a Midlands lass we don't have really have Tunnocks. A local delicacy would be chips and mushy peas with mint sauce😋

But what would you have for your pudding?

Hello all, a new iteration - thank you Myrtle and welcome back to being Myrtle- and some new faces - welcome Farriers Girl and MelOfTheRoses, make yourselves at home!

Befuddled puffin wandering in...
Anyone seen the quokkas lately? I hope they are OK.

Rice pudding and jam.... maybe implying that no one in the midlands has many teeth 🙄

@FarriersGirl I am a. Midlands lass the reason you cannot find tunnocks is because i buy them all mostly from LIDL

I was born in the Midlands and I find Tunnocks very dry.

There's a sentence I never thought I'd write.

Well that explains a lot.....I obviously need to sus out the delivery times at Lidl and get there before @Bannedontherun

@FarriersGirl i am nocturnal you know….

I prefer Dime Bars.
Or Fondant Fancies.

😎

Well that could be a challenge but as someone who is mostly a morning person [unless I've had too many G&Ts] I'll be outside Lidl first thing

Hey Swashy, it's Pirate Weekend in my neck of the woods. Are you making a star studded appearance?

@FuzzyPuffling I’m just stitching my sails so I can do a night trip. Be there at dawn, probs.

I look just like the photos so you should be able to find me. Just fly onto my shoulder when you see me. The parrot won’t mind; he’s disappointingly fickle.

Is Banned taking on Boily’s role as Keeper of the Tunnocks?

Is this a good thing?

See you later then Swashy. Hope someone AI enabled will post the pictures!

Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum.
No gerbils, that wasn't a request. Although....

Well until boily shows up ….

Not as such; it’s just that Banned cheekily snaffled them when Boiley wasn’t there to pack up.

I’m kind of looking forward to Boiley outwitting Banned in some genius manoeuvre when she arrives ,so things can go back to normal. (Sorry for the pressure, Boiley.)

Fukety fuck fuck boiled is lurking
