The Drawing Room Addendum Thread...

[red devil]

For those of you who are itching to post a flippant/sarky/downright naughty comment about a thread in The Drawing Room, but fear it will get removed before it gets read.

I'll start the ball rolling...

Are we allowed to post a serious comment in The Lounge?

I'm losing track.

Forgive Me....

Is the Lounge now the Front room ?

What is a Front bottom / & can you sit in/on one ?

Why do they do keep talking in the Drawing room, it would put me off if I was actually trying to draw.

I'm more confused than ever.

W**F

Why cant we have a kitchen ?

[daizie]

because everyone would be doing it on the work tops

[woofmarkthedog]

IT ?

[Kells]

And back to the clowns...

"Rome has built a 10 Kilometre stretch of wall to enable Graffiti Artists to express themselves in the hope that they will then leave other Roman buildings and walls alone.

Is this the way forward?

Would you like a similar wall built around East Dulwich, for example?"

On the Nunhead side, YES

I think the Drawing Room idea is daft because it relates back to a time when, after dinner, men would retire to the drawing room to discuss business and politics whilst the wives did the clearing up or their servants did, so the wives tended to the kids, or their nannies did, so the wives did played on the harpsicord, or giggled and played cards and talked about being over-charged at Somerfield.

I just think it should be called "Serious heavyweight debate room"

[????]

Or....Clown discussions

[PeckhamRose]

Serious Clown Discussions though.

In this house the lounge is where everything that doesn't happen in the kitchen or bathroom or bedroom happen.

Actually that's not quite true.

But we don't have a drawing room, so it's out of date and daftly named.

[Brendan]

No you?re right of course. If you were privy to the inner workings of the exclusive all-male club responsible for these things you would know that the name was chosen specifically to undermine the current freedoms enjoyed by women (and indeed certain classes) in this day and age. It is just one of many subversive messages that are strategically permeating society in order to bring about a glorious new age of misogyny.

Edited because the B and the M keys are too close together on by keyboard.

"current freedoms enjoyed my women"

..do you let your Harem out in the sun at lunchtime nowadays Brendan?

[Brendan]

Sometimes. Depends on how good my dinners have been.

[Tony.London Suburbs]

Oh! I have just seen what Admin have done!

First "The Lounge" and then "The Drawing Room"..its all good stuff...:-$

[Moos]

Not that it really matters, but isn't it called the drawing room because it's where you withdraw to?

In other words, the men are left in the dining room, but the women withdraw to the drawing room, ergo the drawing room is by definition a female place for discussion. Although apparently all we're capable of is giggling and complaining about being overcharged at Somerfield or something. I'm sure there was a feminist message hidden in there somewhere, I'll keep looking.

Go an put the kettle on Moos there's a darlin'

[Moos]

*giggles inanely *

Ooh, you are a one. I would do, but I ran out of teabags this morning and can't afford any more, as I was over-charged yesterday at Somerfield. Have you seen my kids? They're fab.

*goes back to clearing up*

[Huguenot]

Indeed it was for someone to withdraw to from the dining room, but not necessarily restricted to women.

High-falutin' drawing rooms would be connected to the state (guest of honour) bedroom, thus ensuring it was one step closer to a knee trembler.

It was also 'the' place to entertain guests, a kind of more formal lounge.

"Well, anyway, I said, I told her, I said. I said to her "Don't you be sooo silly Georgina!!.You are being a fool to yourself, I told her. Then she goes "Whaddyamean". I goes "Whaddyamean, what do I mean??"..I had a right go at her. She's gone "Well I was just asking". Here's her "You're jealous of me, ain't yer Daphne?"..I've gone "Sorry!" So she said "Sorry?" Whaddyaean Sorry?" she said. So I said back to her "Who'se sorry?" I've lost it and told her, I told her, I said "Jealous? Of you?" I said. "Yeah!" she's gone. Then here's her, again "You always 'ave bin!" "'ave bin what?" I goes to her. Here's me again ..."'ave bin whatttt?" I've had a right go at her I did" So I've gone.....................to be continued....

*Slaps Moos playfully on the bottom, whilst winking and doing that double teeth click thing* *Passes her a ?50 note* In and treat your self to something nice, there's a good girl. *skillfully ducks flying frying pan*

[Brendan]

Just to show what a man of the modern age I am I will gladly accept that 50 quid.

[Moos]

TLS, Keef and Brendan, thank you very much for helping me to make my point.

Hugo, that's interesting - thanks!
