As the patrons, and gerbils, of The Bluestocking Pub sleep off their Christmas Day food and alcohol intake the capybaras will be getting paid double time to move the pub and contents to the new thread overnight.

All welcome, as long as you are a woman. The men have their own pub The Staunch Ally. It's just down the road, then turn left at the bridge.

You don't have to be mad to drink here but it most definitely helps.

Leave the real world behind and join us in the mayhem and surreal life of a pub staffed by gerbils. Where the food is always exactly what you ordered and the drinks don't give you a hangover the next day!

Have I missed something? What sort of person doesn't have a toilet brush?

I can do you a good deal on 20 new brush heads. White or black bristles. Your choice.

Half of AIBU posters

@Hedgehogforshort i want one

My landlady when I was a lodger didn’t. It was really weird and strangely awkward

Why? If there's a short answer I'd like to avoid spending the evening hunting though Aibu threads related to toilets

My son bought it for me as a joke Xmas prezzie

i love it

Oh white please. I'll take a dozen. 🤣🤣

I also have a toilet brush and a bin in the bathroom.

Great fireworks! It will not be midnight here for another 8 hours and 18 minutes but we usually stay up and watch the ball fall in Times Square on TV, and then my custom is to go and open the door and stand (briefly - it's freezing!) outside to welcome in the New Year.

Poo particles I think. I assume some people think you use the loo brush to sort out clogged toilets and to clean up skid marks. That then leads to the whole cleanliness of having a toilet brush head with old poo stuck to it.

My loo brushes never enter a toilet that isn't flushed properly so not an issue I have.

Ah, thank you.
I normally avoid that bit of Mumsnet as, although there's some normal and pleasant people in Aibu with a functioning brain and a sense of humour, there's also an awful lot of idiots and nutters that make me question whether I want to continue living in the UK or ever speak to a human being again.

I agree. My loo brushes get used with loo cleaner only.

Endless threads on AIBU about them being unhygienic.

speaking of AIBU there was a poster just for you @Boiledbeetle

she went to great lengths explaining her morning hygiene regime to her somewhat (according to her a dirty friend) and the rest of us, which was frankly obsessive.

She just fell short of scrubbing her eyeballs which i found a tad disappointing, but nevertheless died laughing.

But I love a good parking thread!

And there's a loopy thread in property where someone wants to remove her half of a joint chimney and leave the rest because she deems her neighbour a "twat".

I'll sell them to you for the price I paid...

That will be £3.50 for 12.

Have to agree fuzzy parking is a lark as are neighbours

Bargain!

I was once tempted to do a parking thread about my neighbour.

Every time he left his house he used to whinge incessantly to his wife about the bloody car outside HIS bloody house that never bloody moved.

By chance I was out the front the same time as him one day and he whinged to me about it. "You mean MY car parked in front of MY house Dave?".

Never heard him whinge again about it so no need for a thread, but I'd drawn an excellent diagram just in case, that actually came in useful for something else at a later date so not a total waste of my artistic skills!

That's why I bought so many! I've just checked the current price is £18.14 for 5.

I once had a quite big house but it was nearly terraced. When i had hoglettes at home. Great party house.

but the developer was too tight to move the dropped kerb which we did not notice.

So i had endless problems of being blocked in.

The best one was i went to park on my driveway and next door plumber was parked on my drive so i blocked him in.

He rang my doorbell and proceeded to swear at me so i shut the door in his face and left him there for two hours steaming in his van, until my husband came home

That's the ticket, Hedgy. Good work!

Just perusing my bookshelves for potential candidates to leave the house. Whilst the kettle boiled.

I'm currently in two minds about a book called inconsequential dilemmas which contains 45 flowcharts.

I'll put it back on the shelf for a while whilst I think about it.

Cat yoga is definitely going tomorrow though! As the bloody cat can't read and hates exercise.

Oh ffs dump that what possessed you

Well hello fellow-Stockingers, I had visitors, and so I missed the fireworks😕and the discussion about toilets😬

I probably won't be online at midnight, so I'll get my greetings in early -
wishing all you dear Stockingers a very happy New Year💙xx

@MarieDeGournay Don’t go to bed give us a poetry reading to take us in to the new year xx
