The Bluestocking women's Pub- spring is sprunging and MN's name generator can do one!

[lcakethereforeIam]

Welcome to the Bluestocking women's pub. Men are directed to the Staunch Ally just down the road. Otherwise all are welcome. Pull up a chair, give your order to the Wait Gerbil or the Gerbil behind the bar.

Don't forget to name change if you wish to.

Suspect it’s grape time in the southern hemisphere

I can imagine gerbils treading the grapes, and their poor little paws slipping off the plump juicy grapes so that they end up submerged in grape juice and climbing out all sticky. I think if the Staunch Ally has male gerbil staff, they might find that quite attractive. Do we know what kind of bar staff the Staunch Ally has? Have I been watching too many programmes like Bridgerton where there always seems to be an excuse to get your kit off?

Pint of full fat coke please bar gerbil.

And can Clara arrange extra door security, there's some right loons roaming about these parts this evening.

I suppose it saves them a day of trying to use box dyes to colour their fur!

There's quite a few of our staff that go all googly eyed when asked if someone can nip down the road for some Camebert.

Read the thread title 👆 Are the gerbils still taking their pills?

They currently get it in liquid form in their morning Orange juice!

Apart from Glenda who gets hers in a small gin!

We need to stage another intervention with Glenda. What will this be? The fourth?

More like the 40th!

I say, steady on!

Whoops - my fevered imagination running away with me... how strong exactly does Glenda make the G&T's? Gin and pass the tonic water bottle over the top of the glass?

She just whispers the word tonic in the general vicinity of the gin bottle.

😂

It's just that the teenage gerbils are at that stage, you know, & we don't want their heads filled with romance & nonsense when they need to knuckle down & prepare themselves for working at the Bluey - or making their way in the wider world, self-actualising & being a force for good in gerbil society. They're skittish enough as it is.

Who am I kidding? I'm fighting a losing battle here. Switch on Gerbridgerton for them & pass the gin, would you? Cheers!

Every other week.

I think that's one of my potential castles in the background on the somewhat vintage TV. We're gonna need a stepladder to change channels. And we all know how much paperwork that involves, what with risk assessments & dockets for hi-vis jackets.

Yeeeeees.

backs away slowly from Cake while keeping a close eye on her

I've had a quick text exchange with Gosie, who says nobody need expect her to try and help Glenda after the to-do last time. And she is swimming in the Margaux, not knocking it back other than a glass at lunch and a bottle at dinner.

Apparently there are brochures scattered about the art retreat at Insouciance, and she rather fancies moving on to do a writing course at Nuance, a village with a wonderful view towards the Pyrenees. The clincher will be the quality of the wine list.

Thank you to the gerbils for flagging my thread to you. I was beginning to feel like I was in the wrong, until the reinforcements arrived! A very large rum please bar gerbils, and if you would kindly lay on some transportation tomorrow evening as I am doing my "fire walk" so may have lightly toasted feet!

Twas like the lunatics had escaped from the asylum!

What is it about that man that brings the zealots out?

This is how it happens. One brochure. One wine list. Entire life redirected.

Beetle, your comments using different fonts on the Caster Semenya thread had making unladylike snorts.

5 hour return car journey today to take youngest out to lunch and watch the AmDram panto she directed. Greater love hath no parent, believe me.

I don't care what the drink is as long as it's enormous, please, gerbils. And get Samba whatever she fancies, it's on me.

I think I'm coming down with something, my sarcasm levels appear to be slightly elevated at the moment!

I also laughed at the font comment, very witty!

I wondered if ugly duckling was the same person as confused dating, sounded so similar to me, they were both fingers in ears la la la

When they said that some people have female external genitalia and internal gonads, like every other woman, my eyes rolled so hard in my head that they fell out.

🙄

Because the poster seemed to believe that having gonads meant having testes.

So ignorant.
