Welcome all to the Bluestocking Women's Pub, where food and drink are free as in gluten free, calorie free, alcohol free - but still delicious. And free free too, of course.
Served by highly professional staff who are gerbils.

The Bluestocking Ice-Cold Mojito Foot-bath kept us deliciously cool through the heatwave. Come and join us, in case there's another one🌞

Marie is Kathleen Stock.

'The Sapphist Sophist, and vice versa' as she describes herself😄
I'm OK with that. I'd like to have that level of cool, and the confidence to wear red socks with Docs and jeans.

If I were gay, which I am not, Doc Stock would be my pin-up.

She always sounds so bloody decent, and slightly self-deprecating, and very bright.

AngleofRepose · 30/06/2026 22:48

Does that mean we got one, finally? (I mean, assuming Boily isn't JKR)

Hedgehogforshort · 30/06/2026 22:49

I am looking for Emma

Donoghue? I had a long chat with her once, sitting in the sun on a low wall outside the Irish Centre in Camden Town. Nice womanSmile

edited to remove one 'once' too many!

Which Emma? Hilton (fondofbeetles), The Baroness …there are probably others…

Look, I prefer Harrison to Monty, but I'm not that fussed.

Doesn’t every heterosexual woman of a certain age? There are women who’d quite like to dress a bit like Monty I believe.

If I could have been anyone, it might have been Ursula Le Guin, as long as I could have looked like Cyd Charisse.

There is a possibility that one of the Bluestocking's great cooks is Nadiya Hussain. You know, the ones that make all the lovely food all the time...

I still swoon at the sight of Paul McGan

As in Dr Who / Withnail and I?

AngleofRepose · 30/06/2026 23:02

I think Chickadee might be one of the Kennedy clan, married into, if you see what I mean.

This is so much fun but I have to go to bed, the workmen arrive around 8am so I have to be properly up and awake and capable of coherent speech by then - but you're not believing a word I say about 'building works', are you,.?

wait a minute, I'm confused - do I still have an International Woman of Mystery if I'm Kathleen Stock??

whatevs - I'm going to need a good night's sleep anyway, so g'night all you witty and at times delightfully silly StockingersSmile💙🌛

I knew the McGanns. Their mum made a lovely cup of tea. Stephen was actually the nicest of the four boys, followed by Joe, then Paul and Mark last as he turned in to a complete tosser. Their sister was nice as well.

AngleofRepose · 30/06/2026 23:06

It's too late for me! Goodnight everyone, hope the sleep gerbils are around somewhere🐹🌙

If I was an international woman of mystery (rather than Betty Spencer despite Hedgey previously refusing fictional charactersConfused) then sure I’d want to hang out with Doc Stock.

I'm waiting to discover if Colin the dog is actually Larry the cat from Downing Street

Dammit and I was keeping so quiet about that!
