Women: from an orderly queue at the bar or take a seat and grab a passing gerbil.

Men: turn left at the end of the road, keep walking until you find the Staunch Ally.

Bar gerbil a full fat coke please and a packet of Scampi Fries please.

From my earlier post:
How many second chances do you give to the unreliable so-and-sos?

From Pedants' Corner:
You can only give them one second chance. Any other chance would be first, third, fourth and so on..

My favourite post today was on a thread where the OP said her husband's fantasy is that she's having s!x with someone else, & he's insistent that she WILL do it one day.

Answering post: Tell him he’s right, you probably will end up doing it one day - after you have divorced him for being a massive twat.

😂

Yes, I saw that one Android, and thought exactly the same thing!

There are some very witty women on MN. I loved Marie's 180 comment on the darts thread - 😂😂😂

Thank you Edith - I've just checked [yes I am that shallow and immature] and I have 29 'likes'😀

And now one more - I'd missed that as read the thread when it was only a couple of posts long. Excellent. 🎯

Thank you too - and 🏆for that emoji, very good!😄

Can i ask that my friends here check out my post on site stuff and if you agree post some support/comment i am calling for mumsnet to think about banning a very malign and aggressiveTIM.

thanks.

I have thus far tricked Merlin into believing I'm a tawny owl and a collared dove.

Skills! 😂

I was listening to a podcast the other day where one of the hosts had been out with a birder and said at the end of the day, 'Mate, you missed one - my Merlin picked up a tawny owl!'

And the birder was astounded that he'd missed it... until the host fessed up.

My DH has the app it is very addictive i sat on our boat for early morning song it was lovely

😂

I've a nascent plan to do a patchwork cardie for me or younger sprog. It'll be a while before I start, if I do. Currently keeping a eye out for a pattern. All the ones I've seen have got really baggy sleeves.

Been busy sorting out a PIP application for DSD. I have a job application to do tomorrow so I hope to see you all soon xx

Good luck with both, Myrtle!

In your honour & their excitement, the gerbils have improvised a dance routine to celebrate.

I am honoured, thank you Android, thank you gerbils!
It's currently 37, but hey, who's counting?
G'night all, hope the Sleep and Dream Gerbils are on the ball tonight🌛

I’ve got a screenshot of his Bluesky post to deploy as required.

Kitty is waving good morning to everyone. Or something.

Have you tried stitch fiddle? It’s ace. You can upload a picture and it converts it to a crochet or knitting pattern and suggests which wool colours will match.

Chilly here today. I have a lot of inside jobs to do (on hold due to gardening while it was warm).

I put some seed down for Waddling Woodie, who is so large it's a wonder he can get airborne, but the nesting sparrows seem to have got there first.

Which reminds that I need to net my peas before they show, or WW is likely to snaffle the lot.

And <jumps up> I have dozens of seedlings that are in the middle of being hardened off and must go outside NOW!

Morning all.

@Wearenotborg Hello, <waves> not sure if you are new or name changed but welcome anyway.

Gerbils, I'd like a large hot chocolate and a croissant please. I've been gardening all week and need the energy (and a new back).

I'm singing at a wedding this morning so I've been doing some vocal exercises, much to the bemusement of next doors cat🎶

I am not convinced that the very persistent poster on that thread is human, or at least wholly human. The repetition, speed of response, mirroring.

Which may explain their failure to understand measurable physical differences and the effects of that. I am restricting the searchable words I'm using. And will not be feeding it further.

How does that work, @EdithStourton?

Somene gave Kitty catnip seeds for her birthday so I’ve been growing them by a sunny window (covered by a drainer to protect them from too close inspection!)

I thought I’d buy some potting compost this weekend & move them into small pots but that it was probably a bit soon to put them out. What’s hardening off & should I be doing it?

The annoying kid?

I think I have missed the kid. Someone denying reality. I realise that doesn't narrow the field much. Also that there are indeed some actual humans who would fight with a feather and have no interest in truth, just in 'capping' what others have said.

The trouble with the Bluestocking is it tricks one into imagining that all ones fellow posters are intelligent rational adults.
