Figured it was my turn for once!

Plus this way I beat the rush to the bar.

Now I must return to the previous thread to relocate my Tunnock's secret stash.

Serve yourselves until the bar gerbils arrive.

Cheers!

How did you do that? Mine's been stuck for 40 minutes.

Oh shit there's a bloke in the background will just kick him out...

I have absolutely no idea, except like I say I'm a Goodie Two Shoes.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 28/08/2025 20:57

Try it now, Boily my love. I just tried again & this one worked yet the original still hasn't.🤔

Normally a cute gerbil with a name beginning with G would appear on your screen to deliver your drink.

But MNHQ are being arseholes tonight and not publishing images, so imagine Grindleberg in a cute little waiters uniform bringing a large drink over to you.

Today of all days. We could have done with some interpretive dance on a few threads today.

@BeLemonNow so glad you are a vegetarian as i am wifey. Although I love mushrooms as they are vaguely reminiscent of a slug.xxx

I have some keys to a private yacht that i acquired, if you care for a sojourn.

It cost me a lot of snowballs i might add, <sidles up seductively>

No, lovely beetle, I meant put your image up again right here right now. Mine worked now but not then. It's a timey-wimey thing.

You might have to tutor me a bit @Boiledbeetle but I've done my best to direct the gerbils. One is willing to serve alcohol but is still handing out leaflets.

Oh just let her, we'll send another gerbil round with the recycling bin when she's not looking!

Ah that is excellent news! I would love to snuggle up with you on a private yacht.

It's fine you like mushrooms, you can have mine too when I pick them out of dishes.

@Boiledbeetle don't be a prude! Nothing wrong with a bit of public affection...

FourthInstar · 28/08/2025 21:09

It really annoys me that reactions to posts on MN aren't public. It's supposed to be a social medium, FFS. A generic positive reaction would do; a simple thumbs up, agreement, thanks or laughter to be inferred from context. It would allow Bluestockingers to bask in virtual applause and public appreciation for a well-timed round of drinks.

I'd try to lend a hand with the drinks, but I haven't worked out a way of fettling my security settings to allow me to post images.

It's my private yacht she's stolen the keys to!

Somebody may have to lick my spilled alcohol off the floor, and when all the gerbils are back they might not be pleased...but does everyone have a drink? I might be running close to image generator limits.

It does seem like the TrAs are more illogical than usual today. Which is saying something.

Ooh I can play the accordion with my feathery wings. Amazing!

FourthInstar hurrah for someone else who uses the verb "to fettle". It is part if my regular vocabulary, but rarely used in these parts.

Edited as I am a shit typist, not for any secret or clever reason. Sorry!

And I'm singing again! Voice of an angel, that's me...

I have a drink, ta Lemon! Keep them coming, it's thirsty work singing for your supper!

@Magpiecomplex I've had one of your cousins waking me up at the crack of dawn most of the summer. Thought it was a cat with bronchitis until I looked out of the window...

I love the verb 'to fettle', also 'to firtle'.
