The Bluestocking Women’s Pub: Where Clever Women Sit and Think, While Gerbils Run the Bar.

[MyrtleLion]

Come in. Yes, you’re in the right place. No, you don’t need to explain yourself.

Coats will be drycleaned before you depart. Bags won't be stolen because Gubbins will play her triangle. And you really don't want to hear it.

The gerbils run the bar.
They are small, brisk, and unionised.
One is polishing a glass with unnecessary seriousness.
Another is keeping the tab and will remember what you ordered last time.
There is a triangle involved. No one knows why. It keeps Gubbins happy.

Sit. Think. Drink. Join in.

The gerbils have it from here.

Crikey, am I the first through the door?

Thanks Myrtle! Could Gabardine have a go at re-waterproofing my coat please?

Ahhh that's what I like - a clean glass. With gin in it.

She's on it. Luckily you're the first to ask. She's been desperate to help ever since the rain started six weeks ago.

She's probably going to do a brilliant job.

Excellent news! I'll relax with a hot chocolate while she works her magic.
Bar gerbil, please make sure Gabardine is amply supplied with drinks and snacks of her choice.

Well, sometimes I sits and thinks but mostly I just sits.

I’m half watching the Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games.

I’m really enjoying the parade members’ outfits, how happy many of them look and how positive the commentators are.

The female commentator, Hazel something, has just agreed that the Mongolians are wearing her favourite outfits. They are wearing beautiful blue floor-length coats made of Mongolian Cashmere. 💙💙💙

I imagine that’s one of her special skills.

Right, that's the last of my stash transported over.

Oooh, I do love a new thread. Thank you Myrtle for setting it up and I hope you and The Walrus enjoy your anniversary tomorrow.

Err... haven't seen Hedgehog or Beetle recently. Surely they can't have left the Tunnocks stash behind?

I woke up briefly due to the moving commotion.

So managed to drag myself here in a half slumber. Due to the weather, family drama and lack of knitting skills (obvs that would be a problem with my quills)
I have been hibernating.

I have had the odd forage over on the legal cases for intellectual sustenance.

Wake me when the sun is out

zzzzzzzzzzz

Do you mean this stash, Damson? Don't worry, I got Giant Wombat to bring it over earlier.

Are those balls of wool, or tribbles?

Hello hedgehog and everyone else on the new thread. I hope Boily will find her way in at some stage.

She is currently doing an inventory of the tunnocks stash, alongside chucking stuff out (which i assume she is still busy with) along with the odd spliff break i guess she is otherwise entertained.

Definitely yarn. The transporter is very thorough about weeding out tribbles.

Where do the tribbles end up?

They have a holiday home at Little Tribbling-on-Sea.

They just get disnitigrated at the 'in' end & nothing appears at the 'out' end. Calm yourself, dear Magpie, nothing can go wrong. There's no way your nest will fill up with misdirected tribbles. That just can't happen.

Oops! Sorry about that.

Do the gerbils make good cocktails?

I was properly excited for the hockey game between Finland and Canada because women's hockey is fantastic but it was postponed because the Finns had norovirus.

They didn't, but they're learning just for you!

Hello TinselAngel, do take a seat cannot remember if you have popped in before <scrapes backwards head slightly bowed>

I was asleep but heard your name <blushes> cocktails are fab ask a gerbil for anything you want

That's not good. Let's hope it doesn't spread.
