Welcome to The Bluestocking, the perfectly overblown, gloriously chaotic all-women’s pub where you can have a bit of a lie down if you need it.

Expect serious debates on musicals, cake and knitting, and whimsical musings on women’s rights and why the world’s on fire (again), all under the calm supervision of our support staff: gerbils, capybaras, and the occasional quokka on secondment.

The alcohol won’t get you drunk, the pastries won’t make you fat, but the conversation will digress, and that’s the point.

Remember to namechange before posting if you’re sometimes someone else.

Shall I do it? I've managed to dodge the job so far...

(My effort read, 'I've managed to doge the job so far', as though I'm delegating to a Venetian ruler...)

Feel free! Or subcontract to a doge, whichever suits.

The buses will be here shortly.

The gerbils need to find Boily's stash, and not eat it. There are plenty of tasty gerbil snacks on the buses. And the thread is not far...

I'll get Giant Wombat on her way.

Magpiecomplex · 29/11/2025 15:23

She's opted for a new transport method this time.

Hey, Wombat, may I have a lift please?

Magpiecomplex · 29/11/2025 15:38

All aboard, Fuzzy!

Ah, a feminist update of a classic - Ben Her?

i’d better keep my distance, if I sneeze it could become Chariots of Fire.

FuzzyPuffling · 29/11/2025 15:50

This is a very exciting ride. It's not really what I'd expect from our rather morose Wombat. She has hidden depths.

She only looks morose - actually she’s spirited!

I have been looking for my horse, (with no name) for threads and threads and threads…………..

Well, if you will let it go free, what do you expect?

Room for a small one?

Woo.hoo.... hop up, Cake.
