AngleofRepose · 12/07/2026 21:31

Croeso/Welcome to the Bluestocking Women's Pub, with our lovely gerbil staff, the icy Mojito foot-bath for those of you fed up with the heat, a Quilting/Craft Nook, lots of yummy food and drink with zero calories, gluten, or allergens, the Gerbil World Cup, and a brand new magic pool that becomes a babbling brook whenever you want it to!

Come on in! All women welcome! (Men welcome at The Staunch Ally pub down the road aways)

(security provided by the capybaras, lovely folk, but try not to get in their way)

(oh, and don't mention triangles, please. Gubbins gets very overexcited)

(did we mention the Gerbil World Cup?)

Hello been gone a while so thought i would come in first and check everything is ready, and up to scratch.

Thank you Angle for the new thread,
Bar gerbils would you kindly mix me a Manifold Metaphor. Easy on the analogies if you don’t mind. Thank you dear creatures. My dog is sick and he would probably be fine if I hadn’t taken him to the vet in the first place so feeling pretty shit.

Did you move the Tunnock's? I was too busy showering. Do we need to send a few gerbils with the keypad code and a van?

I've brought Boily's stash over.
It turned out that Gillian had the key to the vast cupboard they were hidden in.

Sorry to everyone I didn't page- I'd just seen you all earlier, so didn't think I'd need to. Not because I forgot! Mea culpa.

It turns out that I was mind-reading, busy on Gemini...

And it's alright, Angle. I forgive you.

Thank you very muchly. I've bribed Gubbins with a promise of a new triangle if she stacks them neatly in the very well hidden, super secret, under the stairs hiding place.

There's currently 367 staircases at the Bluestocking so I reckon it will take the entire thread for anyone to find them.

We’re right behind you with the craft room, @EdithStourton. It turned out to be far easier putting the whole thing in the trailer - amazing what you can fit in one of those, even if some baskets had to be hung on the side.

Can the gardening gerbils make sure the catnip patch gets replanted?

Yes.

There is actually only 1 staircase. It is however capable of being exactly where you need it, wherever you are in the pub, and you'll be exactly where you wanted to go by the time you get to the bottom or the top.

So I reckon that equates to about 367 ish locations just in the main bar.

Can't believe I missed that!

Also a bit perturbed that the BS appears to be full of men in my photo.

Thank you for the lovely new thread, @AngleofRepose - sorry I didn’t get here sooner - we’ve been to the zoo, then back to ds1’s house where he cooked a full roast dinner - we are back in the hotel now, and heading home tomorrow.

Thanks to the heat, I now have overstuffed sausage feet, but it doesn’t matter, and it will be cool when we get home.

AngleofRepose · 12/07/2026 22:15

There's actual wind tonight! Actual Breezy Wind! (possibly a reasonable 23C, I may sleep tonight)

I'm off to have a quick paddle in our new babbling brook, then into my PJs, which aren't nearly as stylish as Boily's....

Noswaith dda, pawb!

Got back from Durham gala today was a good weekend, had to fend off a few loons clutching pamphlets and leaflets, mansplaining feminism, the far right bla bla bla
lost patience in the end and told the last man to fuck of to the other side of fuck, where the wrong side of history was waiting for him.

You weren’t to know that was going to happen, Horti. I hope he’s better soon.

Kitty’s going to the vet for her booster, a claw trim & a checkup in the morning. She’s not going to like it.

I’m going to the dentist in the afternoon to have my broken crown removed & a temporary one put on. I’m not going to like that either.

But it’s all for our own good so….
