The Bluestocking - Invoking Split Pea Annexe B

[Magpiecomplex]

Welcome all, pull up a gerbil and make yourself comfortable!

Coming back after nearly four days offline, seeing the Bluestockingers and the penis commentators, still keeping on keeping on, gave a sense of continuity and stability often lacking in the world today.

Like Coronation Street!

@Boiledbeetle was your reaction before or after reading the ladybird thread? I think the two threads would quite neatly conflate, personally!

I have not read the ladybird thread. I did not know there was a ladybird thread? Should I read the ladybird thread? Or can I get in my pjs, make a bacon buttie and a cup of tea and watch the last ever episode of the Handmaid's tale?

Do both! Won't take long...

Could any kind soul provide a link to the penis thread?

I had to search for it myself. And yesterday I had to agree to advertisers checking my browsing hustory, so thanks for that.😂 That's my reputation shot.

Goodness knows what sort of ads will be targetted at me now.

Note to @Boiledbeetle : work continues, haven't "£$%^&*(ed it up yet.

taps side of nose

This was my contribution to the penises thread, though I may have misunderstood...😁

Don't ask for them at the florist's.

@MarieDeGournay i saw a question you asked on another thread about what is common law etc. I could not locate your post so will say this here.

There are two excellent books by “the secret barrister” “stories of the law and how it is broken” and “Fake law”

both are an excellent read for none legal people and are very readable, explaining UK and other countries legal systems.

.

Thank you v much, Banned! I was wondering why it's not duh-obvious that if sex=biological sex in one law, its' the same in all laws, but I know the law is an ass more complicated than that
I'm going to look up those books right away, they look right up my street thanks!

So now here i am watching ELO and some of the songs reminding me of my post pubescent cosy first love experiences of sex, that were of the moment.

When in reality i want to look up Oasis at Cardiff and Liam Gallagher’s an unreconstructed man, with male sexuality one should fear, and have a pwhoa moment.

Not to mention the power of that music.

It reminds me of a post cosy sexual life i lead at a time in the early eighties of being a sexual free spirit a young woman who no man could tie down.

I had some hairy moments, (where i nearly gave into ownership and monogamy) but some joyous freedom, and men who i shared passing moments with.

I did fall in true love and had children with the man i still love today we talked about my maverickness tonight.

I regret it none my body was my own in a way i will never know again.

A late night lament from a free form feminist.

Have any of you come across the "We Do Not Care Club" on tiktok or insta?

Highly recommend checking it out 😂

Hmmm. Curious first post. Am I being unreasonably suspicious?

( I don't do tiktok or insta anyway, so it's totally wasted on me.)

It is raining here hooray!!!!

yeah, I think @Maaateis a regular poster on FWR and elsewhere.

I don’t TikTok or Insta either … pull up a chair and enlighten us dinosaurs, maaate.

Fair enough.
Sorry Maaate if I'm overly cautious and welcome to the Pub of all Pubs.

Thanks @Magpiecomplexfor the link and another upvote for the secret barrister’s books from me.

Carrying on the legal theme, as sometimes happens when I'm under the weather, I've been cheering myself up reading some old Cyril Hare detective stories. His novels are pretty good, but the short stories are lots of fun.

If I didn't know the author was a judge, the structure of the stories would have given it away. Hare was very fond of stories about a bright young chap committing what he thought was the perfect murder, only to be undone by some technical element of the law on wills.

Seen a few on twitter/X. Love her! The only ones I can remember are:

"We do not care if the AC is on & we have 4 blankets on us. Our balance is none of your business."

"We do not care how you like your eggs. One person wants scrambled, so everyone's getting scrambled."

That & the multiplicity of glasses.

Sounds llike shedunnit terrritory?
