Congratulations to @Sideboard Bob for the thread title! I think this might be my favourite one Your prize: a framed print of Turnipbot (who wants to ask him nicely?)


Recap of last thread

  1. Her Twitter was reactivated after a night’s break.
  2. The burning issue of what a turnip is brought her back.
  3. Behold her beautiful (rented) garden.
  4. The BBC Big Book Weekend live happened. Bit meh, really. She didn’t know how to pronounce ‘culinary’ until recently. Apparently.
  5. There’s a jungle on her desk. Also ... ‘housemate’.
  6. Cooper likes tarts.
  7. She mentioned her ‘boisterous puppydog ADHD’ and ‘yelled‘ at a photo of a Hyacinth in a bucket.
  8. She deactivated her Twitter. But then reactivated it.
  9. [*]
    Please use the words ‘thread title’ (two separate words) when making a bid for one as it makes it easier to search. Also, try to hold off to the latter part of the thread if possible (after post #500). And remember - no swears are allowed.

Excellent recap as ever.

Managed to slice the tip of my finger on a tin of sodding pineapple! (Woolworths own brand, for the record)

sorry, this is completely off topic but it made me think of Jack's boring AF Hyacinth Bucket chat last night. "Go watch some keeping up appearances or something".

I hope SB has a lovely birthday today.

She is the oddest of the odd that one.

If Jack is now deactivating Twitter overnight, what will happen to any political prisoners who need help at 1am?

I hope SB gets a nice caterpillar cake too, not some slop baked by his mother!

Happy Monday, dear Fraus and a very happy birthday Aries Club @Vroo

I really enjoy the mini chaos of clueless club, it was a fun way to end a thread lol, plus it really made me feel like part of a proper group, which I rarely get vibes of. I'm mostly making a point of Aries club because there does seem to be a lot of us (coz we rock innit) but also, knowing Jack reads here, just a little winding up, because she's a Pisces. No fish allowed in our club (petty, silly, twattish yes,but, it's tickling me)

@orphanblack my husband is a Pisces along with my brother and his wife. I feel a bit left out sometimes.

ETA I'm a Cancer so I'm a bit sensitive anyway

Happy birthday to birthday fraus today and belated birthday wishes to those who celebrated over the weekend!

It's mine tomorrow, so I'm Aries and so is Mr CWH (which apparently should be disastrous but we seem to cancel each other out)

The real question is, do I enhance my 2nd lockdown birthday with the nhsxted talk?! It surely can't top going into the first national lockdown on my 30th (not the type of memorable day I was hoping for)

Awh, I've got nothing against Pisces. I just don't like Jack! hahahahaha! Come little crab, you can ride on the back of the rams, use your little pincers to hold on tight!

(I'll stop now! Don't want to derail the thread with nonsense, as I am in a curious mood today...)

Happy birthday for tomorrow!

Don’t we have to donate for the NHS thing (which I am all for but could increase risk of )?

Any ideas?
