Bluestocking Women's Pub - cheapest bar on the internet.

[EdithStourton]

The thread in which Gosie's mysterious adventures will continue. All women welcome to join us for a virtual tipple, fun, support and arcane knowledge. And tractors.

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

Bugger me, that was quick.
My antediluvian rural internet can't work that fast.

I was already here sitting in the dark when you opened up. I've been here for an hour. No one is finding the Tunnock's on this thread!!

Dunno, as a long time NCIS LA aficionado I am finding the revelations about Gosie being the Hetty Lang of the gerbil world very interesting and would put nothing past her. I suppose, being a gerbil, she has nothing to pin brooches on.

Ha i burrowed in through a little hole in the footings and bugger me found some snowballs under the floorboards, a couple of hours ago.

toasted a few on a stick in the fire yum yum.

but burnt my thumb.

the rest…… well that would be telling.

I'm sure Maud could lend her an apron or something. One of her less favourite dresses, maybe.

Thanks for the new thread Edith! Couple of gallons of hot chocolate please.

Bugger.

<flies in at some speed>
Hellooooooooooooo.....

Ow puffy you should be more careful, <dusts you off, pulls a few quills out of you>

are you okay now?

Evening all. I hailed a passing support camel and picked up a few hitchhikers on the way.

Thanks for the lovely new thread Edith.

Reminds me of my horse with no name which arrived on when i got lost, 😁

Oooer.....i think I might have a few friction burns.
< Lies down>
Hot choc please, gerbils, but no marshmallows please.

Crikey, it only seems like yesterday since the last move.

Mug of cocoa please gerbils & I’ll be setting up the crochet corner.

Anyone seen Rosie, Spartipuss, Wombat, Harriet and Colin?

Boiled put them in a potato sack, as far as i can recall BOILED where are they?

Wombat is taking the long way round.

Except for the giant wombat obvs

We seem to have left pedants/ gramma/linguists corner behind, someone go and get them. (Not me on the gin now)

This is for those coming back in weeks to come looking for a particular date and previous threads.

Posterity really.

I've locked up the old thread. Hedgy got there first with the final post!

Tsk sorted transport

Did I? Well they were all fannying about when the chairs were on the table the floors were being mopped they were carrying on chatting, waaay after time was called.

Well! To misquote Bette Davis, that certainly was a bumpy ride and I needed that seatbelt!

Back to me gin, as the crowds throng inwards, I had the last word on a thread, made my day.

Pimms please bar gerbil by way of celebration.

To go waaaay back to the accent discussion on the previous thread - I was sent to elocution lessons at the age of about 8 to avoid picking up the Hull 'o' sound, which comes over as er to everyone else (sner on the rerd in winter). My teacher used poems to teach with, which was great for me - I liked poetry before that, but I really learned to love it then.
