Nothing to see here. Just go about your business.

Own up, who's been breeding tribbles with haggis?

Just stay seated, the gerbils will load you into the van and unload you at the other end.

How glorious. At this rate I don’t think I’ll last 20 years after mine. I remember my son coming home in year 5 to relay everything he had learnt at school that day, including that, for girls, periods “start when you are 11 and then when you are 40 they stop”. I (being 43 at the time) suggested those dates were approximate. “No. Miss Smith said it so it is true.” Miss Smith was very wrong indeed.

If it’s any help I was 55 on that glorious Fourth of July.

I grew up assuming they magically stopped around the age of 40. So was really really pissed off to discover on getting to 40 I had probably at least another decade to go. As it was I will have been 51 I think when I last had one. And 53 when it was confirmed I was a haggis.

As Swash isn't around, must be busy on the other galleon, the tug boat is on with relocating her galleon

Apparently it's World Mosquito Day today. To celebrate, please let's leave them a lovely spacious old thread to inhabit. Don't want to be species-ist but I don't want to share the Bluestocking with them, even with the unreality field.

I'll allow @midgetastic to join us though, on the proviso she keeps any exsanguinary impulses to herself!

Phew I rushed back regarding @Swashbuckled galleon well done crew.

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:24

Come on wims, hurry up and get your drinks drunk and your belongings and any animals in arms reach together and get moving.

I have got my gone to the next thread post all lined up ready and waiting

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:27

I haven't seen the micro pigs anywhere, I assume cake has them with her and will arrive at the new thread with them at some point.

I think Colin has already gone to the new thread as I haven't seen him since the gerbil bus left, and I believe Bear and Spartacus are in transit having caught a lift with the goats and a few gerbil stragglers.

ErrolTheDragon · 20/08/2025 23:30

Yes, I already took Colin over to do his usual sniff around the new premises. I’ve come back for Rosie and her trainees.

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:55

Has anyone made sure Myrtle is transported from the Sanitorium

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:55

And is Marie in there with her lying down with a migraine?

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:56

I've dispatched some capybaras with a stretcher and an ambulance to clear out the ill Bluestocking patrons.

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:57

Checks post count, not much more wittering to go now.

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:59

Rings bell.

Time is up ladies.

Come on, hurry up.

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:59

And I think that's everyone out

Boiledbeetle · 20/08/2025 23:59

Right the pub is empty... did I hear a squeak?... no, just the door needing some WD 40.

and we're done.
