The Bluestocking - Best Pub on the Internet

[EdithStourton]

Welcome to the Bluestocking women's pub. Excellent (if sometimes wilful) gerbil bar staff, varied cocktails, splendid cakes, cracking Sunday roasts...

Voted Best Pub for the umpteenth thread running, join us for conversation about tractors, units of measurement, films, wildlife, and even, sometimes, women's rights.

Just keep Glenda off the gin.

Any men, you can trot along to the Staunch Ally just up the road.

omg

I was first on i might add

Are you going to sign up? Boily's in & really going for it. The experiment hasn't even started yet & she's pressing that button fit to bust a gut.

I'm going to run a new version to see if it makes a difference whom the lab rat volunteer believes to be in the other room. Probably best not to say, here, but I've got a few interesting names I might use.

Okay then

I am going to have to go to bed please leave my quilts alone

ta

I mean quills

I saw that at the late night showing in The Grosvenor in Glasgow: "With you, never a quickie - only a longie."

Ah, what it was to be 19.

I managed to throw out a DKNY handbag yesterday. I'd repaired it myself a few times and it really does look tatty now.. I think it's the only time I ever bought myself a designer-ish handbag if you don't count the Louis Vuitton rip-off I bought underneath Montparnasse in '81.

I didn't know that it was a rip-off. I'd never heard of Louis Vuitton and I thought that the equivalent of £12 for a handbag was very expensive.

Thanks! I've now discovered the origin of 'sparp' & it was one of my AI images. Apologies to the universe.

I bet @Britinme 's kicking herself she didn't come up with that poem for her book, though.😂

Off to bed- I'm sparped
Gerbils; don't forget to put the towels on straight. G'night

Dammit I’m always too late!

But did write a poem about beetles the other day and it hit the fastest acceptance I’ve ever had so it’s not all bad.

Weve had a couple of glorious days, snow melting, I could see grass - but we’re forecast two inches more of it tomorrow :-(

No hug with Hedgie? OK, then.

I'm so glad you posted in here to prompt us. I haven't done anything for WH for ages and this was a lovely way to come back in. I didn't know waffle nose or her daughter but it's every parent's worst nightmare so I was glad to get involved.

I would say you have two choices. Watch for a while, get to know the characters and then begin to join in, or wander back out, closing the door behind you.

I was first drawn in after following a thread one night about Maud and her many costumes. It was so lovely and gentle when not every corner of MN is. A short while later I made friends with someone on here (mentioning no names FuzzyPuffling) who invited me along and it has been far from a clique. Just a warm space really.

Exactly this!

The Spam cocktail was my first post in the Bluey, I remember it fondly!

Mornin' all. Blue sky, sunshine, cold air coming in the window with resultant cuddly cats (who are in mid moult so there is shed hair all over me and everything else).

Spam cocktail NO, but I opened a can of Lidl's Newgate chopped pork and ham the other week and had it as fritters for dinner one day, with pasta, peas, onions and mushroom on another, and with lettuce and tomatoes for lunch on day three. Very nice, must buy another tin or two.

It never fails to amaze me how much fur they lose in spring.

My floor has fur everywhere this morning.

Just been for breakfast with Maud. I love that she makes builder's tea!

I love Maud's pyjamas.

Just popped in to say I'm sorry about the SPARP.
Doubly awful from a non-red- meat eater.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry....

I hadn't realised it was me. Was it really?

You definitely asked about Spam cocktails!

You must have been having a moment 😄

I'd definitely buy a human size pair!

Definitely having a moment there. I'll do my best to refrain in future. < Hangs head in Sparpy shame>

Same.
