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.

My adverts are ice cream and mens pants.
<Shrugs>

Two more things that women are stereotypically supposed to be interested in! Well, the contents of the pants, anyway 😁

I'll go for the ice cream, thanks!

I don't get adverts, but then I pay Mumsnet the protection money!

You don't know what you're missing, Boily!

MyrtleLion · 29/08/2025 22:06

I don’t get ads, or the requests to disable my ad blocker. The Walrus did magic on the router. It even works on Channels 4 and 5 as long as we watch them through the Apple TV app on the Apple TV box.

Boily wrote Exceptions being Colin the dog who predates just about all of us

I read this as predates = acts as a predator, and was confused.

I leave this thread for a little over six hours, and come back to 160-odd unread posts...

I think the gerbils should tackle "Six" as there are lots of female roles.

Only six, when I saw it.
Sorry.
Ish.

It does have lots of number puns, though, which appeal to me.

Perhaps two are prosthetic legs, all the better to support Lemony after consuming those four brightly coloured drinks.

But that cannot be, as Bluestocking drinks do not inebriate.

AlexandraLeaving · 29/08/2025 23:02

I’m slinking back in, slightly ashamed to admit that, on the rare occasions when I use perfume, it is Cats Pee and the Mademoiselle flowery stuff. Or No.19.

May I stay please?

If so, hit me up with some gin please gNatasha.

I have wondered about that. I suppose it means they don't contain alcohol. But the cakes don't contain calories ... does that mean a moose doesn't feel full after eating a big pile of chocolate cake with almonds and drinking a vat of coffee with cream and sugar and Grand Marnier?

I don't know, dear friend of @inkymoose

We might hope so, but it's possible to eat a low caloried total of lots of low-calorie somethings and feel the tummy stretching out.

It's probably the difference between low-calorie and Bluestocking no-calorie food. In the picture the dear moose looks both happily comatose and generous of tum.

It’s @ifIwerenotanandroid fault she messed about with me in the lab

I never touched you!

lcakethereforeIam · 29/08/2025 23:35

I like the sound of that new m&s cake. Although the mental image of Colin, Bluestocking or caterpillar, having a semi...!

I've got half a bucket of comfrey tea brewing. I'm scared to go near it.

BeLemonNow · 29/08/2025 23:39

Alcohol needs to be alcoholic for me please. I don't know why I have two extra legs. Maybe someone is hiding behind me?

I have discovered, in my absence this evening my wife has transformed into a skunk.In the laws of the Bluestocking am I still married if she's changed species? It's very confusing.

Obviously I am yellow because I eat a lot of lemons, it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with an nuclear disaster. Ahem.

I'm getting Path of Exile: the Third Edict. I don't even know what that is.

BeLemonNow · 29/08/2025 23:41

I got adverts for men's pants cos I bought a greenhouse. Tried growing myself a man with them, didn't work, don't recommend.

Do you have superpowers now, Lemon?

lcakethereforeIam · 29/08/2025 23:45

Specsavers and Rohde & Scwarz? Apparently they make ideas real.

Not that I've noticed. Is there a blood test for that available for that?

ifIwerenotanandroid · 30/08/2025 00:13

Not really. Perhaps you could thnk of a superpower you fancy having, & as this is the Bluey, you've probably got it. Btw, I found a photo of you & Banned...

Yay I'm still married! I was worried cos I left Banned in the yacht yesterday as I seemed to be the only one who could serve drinks.

BeLemonNow · 30/08/2025 00:16

@Bannedontherun I've booked us a fancy chauffeur for when we've finished our drinks...

Britinme · 30/08/2025 03:43

I get a lot of computer game adverts, so the algorithm knows me well.

FuzzyPuffling · 30/08/2025 06:50

Can we allow inter- species marriages? Isn't that where android's experiments started?
