The Bluestocking Women’s Pub - Where Everybody Knows Your Username

[MarieDeGournay]

Welcome to the Bluestocking Arms, the home of good company, excellent drinks and delicious cakes which magically have no irksome contents like gluten or sugar or calories or the kind of alcohol that causes problems - but you wouldn't know

Food and drink are served by a keen staff of gerbils, and other animals such as capybaras, quokkas, etc., also fulfil vital roles, while looking cute AF.

New Bluestockingers always welcome.

😉

@Boiledbeetle I'm sure I can cope without a plate 😁

Cheers everyone, today’s special cocktail

I'll take three please.

I knew you’d be first in line Boiled 🤣 The gerbils saw you coming have them lined up ready.

Evening all! Newbie here. What a cosy place! Is my emotional support hamster allowed or would he put the gerbils off their work?

On a past thread, it turned out the Bluey is near a volcano. I assume it's erupting in sympathy with Mt Etna. These things happen.

That would be an ecumenical matter - I'll leave someone else to deal with it. And welcome!!

Good evening. Your hamster will be fine! Although I'll probably assume he's a female gerbil. They all look the same to me (and to AI!) So don't be surprised if I ask him to refill my drink!

Plus, the gerbils may take a fancy to him so if you could make sure he's had the snip as the gerbils whilst all on birth control have been known to be rather forgetful, and I think the last lot of baby gerbils haven't long left the pub.

Btw, has anyone mentioned the Japanese ambassador? His X account is a joy.

He's a very obliging critter - I'm sure he'd pitch in with a bit of bar work if allowed. I'll have him done so there are no accidents but they're solitary creatures so he certainly won't be causing any hassle on that front. One of the less randy rodents!

Hmm...

Well the gerbils are smitten!

The Japanese Ambassador looks like a jolly bloke. Thank you, @ifIwerenotanandroid

Ooops, forgot to NC to my usual Bluestocking name. I’ll be back in thread 21.

Yes!

I thought you seemed a bit over-familiar. Oooh, who are you?😂

Are you usually animal or human?

Oh I hate these name changey riddles. I never have any idea!

Welcome new Bluestockingers and hamsters!

Found you all on this 20th anniversary thread!

I've had a busy and somewhat peculiar day, kicking off a new project that mostly doesn't make sense. But so long as I'm being paid I can more or less park my scepticism.

<stumbles in, late as ever>
Greetings, @jbiscuits

Gosie, a quick Pruary before bed, please.

And good thoughts to Swashy.

I’s a person, related to something sung in December.

Please don’t say what it is when you know. 💐

I thought you seemed a bit over-familiar

Apologies, @ifIwerenotanandroid . 😔

Fucking boiled always gets the better of me managed to get a few snowballs for the journey to here.

Happy we docked Swashy’s ship

My arms hurt having pulled it in and done a jolly good hip knot which i am proud of

Polished the aft the fore starboard and all things nautical.

Gone in done tad of dusting, and changed the bedding just in case swashy visits.

Thinking of you and your daughter with love, Swashy
