The Bluestocking: home of the ice-cold Mojito foot-bath

[MarieDeGournay]

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🌞

Boily!

Ah, there you all are! Having caught up after my previous absence I got poleaxed by the heatwave and confused by the parallel World Cups, before being sucked into the almost unimaginable batshittery of the Tinkerbell Tempest Tribunal. 😖😬I'll just sit quietly here in the corner and relax...😴

I hope it was worth it.

I haven't been properly shit-faced for years. Almost went for it last summer, and then remembered, as the port came past again, that I wasn't in my 20s, nor even my 40s, any longer.

The last time, I was brought home on the cross-bar of DH's bike.

Erm

Loving 'Tinkerbell Tempest Tribunal'.
T3. It sounds like some sort of Grand Prix.

Errol, I thought this was a good summary, from PronounssheRa:

[From the claimant's POV]
In summary everything is transphobic.
Nothing can be said, thought or done that makes me sad. And I get to decide what people mean with their words, think with their thoughts or do with their deeds.
Even though everything makes me sad/invisible my wonderful ally friends will hunt out even more offending material and send it to me.
Let's just make up protected characteristics and pretend it's the law, if that gets corrected, you've guessed it, transphobia

I can’t tell you the last time I ate fish fingers but now I have a sudden craving for them after @JanesLittleGirl’s post upthread. However I have some salmon in the fridge which was stupidly cheap when I did the shopping yesterday so that will have to do.

@Chersfrozenface purple tractor! 🙀

I've never had a fish finger sandwich or a chip butty (Always seemed to be just a carb sandwich ). But now I suddenly want one!

Chip butties were one of my favourite things about living in Hull.

Welcome back Boily!

I always knew that Fergies were cute. I didn't realise that they could be pretty!

Summary of the “Tinkerbell tribunal”

Civil service have staff groups. SEEN set up poles in gets recognition, have own space on some kinda internal based social media.

Trans peeps up in arms about it

Tempest becomes their mouthpiece

complains about them and every posting

gets nowhere due to Forstarter case,

complains to tribunal 2022

Currently on stand looking up from a massive hole dug by themself.

says things like GC should be allowed their beliefs but must not express them, SEEN being allowed to exist is in of itself harassment, because it erases trans people.

He could only produce two (inoffensive) posts from SEEN as his employer told him not to go on the group.

Is apparent from the deep hole he sits in below the stand that he has become harassed by looking at more inoffensive posts, after advice not to, and claiming he has not.

Wanted an investigator of one of his complaints (about transphobic posts) to go and hunt down transphobic posts on his behalf since he had not seen any, and was not allowed to look.

He is back on tomorrow, NC has not got to cross exam yet, maybe tomorrow pm.

She has been told not to use correct sex pronouns. So am hoping she will be working on something to amuse us all.

HTH

Forgot to mention he cited mumsnet and sinnerboy in his witness statement and it is clear he is one of our TRA contributors but who knows which one 😁

Waaaaaaahhhhhh.

When I'm complaining about a huge bruise on my shin tomorrow remind me I should have turned the light on then I wouldn't have walked into the chair.

Slice of square white bread. Spread with tomato sauce. Place 2 fried (not grilled) fish fingers at one end and fold the rest of the bread over the fingers to make a sandwich. Eat.

I like your pyjamas.

Fish finger wrap - whole meal tortilla, tartare sauce, mixed salad with shredded cabbage and carrot, SainsburyTaste the Difference fish fingers - wrap up and eat - delicious.

<preens>
<twirls>
<attempts hair flick>
<picks up hair towel off floor>

Bread roll with butter. Put the two fish finger on bottom half of roll. Layer of mushy peas on top of fish fingers. Layer of chips on top of the mushy peas. Add way too much salt (and vinegar if that way inclined). Squish whole lot together using top of bap. Eat.

Reminds me of the chip butty session we had at the break of a tribunal

Whaaat? You can't put cabbage and carrot in a fish finger sandwich!

That would make it...........<whispers> healthy😬

I've just noticed, I've repeated on some of my pj choices.

Craft room’s ready. Should the next group project be more pyjamas for @Boiledbeetle?

💯

I forgot to mention DO NOT MENTION NAIL POLISH magpie is an addict.

oh bugger i just did
