The Bluestocking - where the laugh emoji is sorely missed.

[MyrtleLion]

Welcome to the Bluestocking Arms!

The company is always sparkling, the drinks are always sublime, and the cakes are mysteriously free from gluten, sugar, calories, and troublesome booze… not that you’d ever notice. 😏

Our enthusiastic team of gerbil waitstaff is ably supported by capybaras, quokkas, and other charming creatures who excel at their jobs while looking outrageously adorable.

You will find many things to laugh at - usually out loud - so take care not to spit out your tea. We are considering a petition for the return of the laugh emoji - just as soon as the AI gerbils learn how to spell.

New Bluestockingers are always welcome. Men can pop along to The Staunch Ally nearby.

Currently also knitting a Woolly Hug blanket for Bluestockinger Swashbuckled. Details here if you can knit or crochet a square before the 18 July.

Thank you, Magpie.

Thanks Magpie!
though the thread title is a bit confusing even if you’ve read all of this thread😂

Now then, a last round of brews here while we round up the animals. I’ll take Colin over to do his security checks on the new premises. He’s been in a state of high alert since all the talk of ferocious fairy badgers, bless his paws.

<Nips back in for the snowball stash>

I've got Spartacus and a capacious pocketful of wriggling gerbils.

That sounds unpleasantly warm in the current weather!

On the buses, now gerbils, quokkas, capybara, goats, mini- pigs and anyone else!

Does Giant Wombat get her own transport? She might find it a bit squished otherwise.

I can just see Giant Wombat in a sort of Popemobile.

Driven by a uniformed chauffeur, obviously.

I was thinking of this...

Hm, too good for a tractor-trailer combo, is she?

Not at all, this is the second leg of the journey! And she's even bringing one of the outhouses with her too.

Genius pictures Magpie. Bring back the laugh emoji.

I'm guessing she has a second outhouse the other side, for balance.

I assume so. Or something of similar mass.

Bag of gerbils?

That did occur to me! Possibly it's the quokkas and their stonemasonry kit.

Oh yes, that would weigh a bit. Even for Giant Wombat.

Found the spare laugh emojis, but thought I'd leave them here as they can't come to the next thread.

So ostentatious! That wombat's always had ideas above her station.

Poor Wombat is a spectral manifestation, ideas are all she's got. Remember when we first met her all she could do was weep? At least the Bluestocking has given her a purpose in death and cheered her up.

Anyone seen Boily? She needs to get a wiggle on otherwise the Tunnocks will be locked in!

No problem. She's eaten all the Tunnocks.

Sorry got stuck in the photocopier last night

Just getting my Tunnock's
