I've been asked to pass on a message by soop:

"Nel will be waiting at Lil's Bar tomorrow. I'll get there 2-ish."

soop can't tell you this herself, though she would like to. I'm the go-between smile

Its dark gramps 'cos after being left in charge I now have a massive hangover...you tripped over a feral cat... which is now covered in pink paint (make it easier for Soop to spot) grin

gramps Sat 15-Sept-12 19:45:33

Pete,Pete. Where am I? Why is it so dark in here?
I think I tripped over something - I was carrying a tin of paint - with no lid on it! I feel all sticky! confused

soop Fri 14-Sept-12 18:21:49

Good one, Pete...take care of the bar for us please. I've a family of feral cats to feed. grin

Pete Fri 14-Sept-12 17:13:37

Window...thats the trouble with fast fingers Ana smile
Soop I told her we were shut and directed her to the 'Off Licence'

soop Fri 14-Sept-12 16:48:19

Ana...you never know with gels like Ella. One day she's all lah de dah and the next, well, she's like the rest of us. A bit of a chameleon. hmm

Anagram Fri 14-Sept-12 16:41:43

What widow is she peering through, Pete? The merry one, I presume! grin

Soop, I'm afraid I have no new tricks to teach you - you'll have to make up your own! I do hope this Strictly business doesn't go to Ella's head - d'you think she'll come back talking like a Yankee? confused

soop Fri 14-Sept-12 16:37:14

hmm Pete tell her we're closed. Waiting for the hygiene inspector to sort out Lil's kitchen. He's been in there all week. The beer went to his head on day one and he's still nursing a cracking hangover. shock

Pete Fri 14-Sept-12 16:29:30

A double malt coming up Soop ....is that Joan Bakewell peering through the widow ? grin

soop Fri 14-Sept-12 16:16:30

Pete...taking my name in vain is not a good move. However, I am rather fond of you, so yes, make mine a double malt. I see that Ella has been keeping her fingers nimble with the thimble. All those sequins...boy, will she create sparks when she dances the Can-Can. The feather plume will come in handy when she does the Fan-Dance. No flies on our Ella...come back soon, we need regulars like you to keep the honesty box topped up. Okay, Ana I'll keep you company in the snug. Have you been up to any new tricks recently...or are you a lady of independent means? grin

Pete Fri 14-Sept-12 09:47:03

Better to be 'safe than sorry' Ella
Missing you already.... grin

Ella46 Fri 14-Sept-12 07:24:33

Pete, I hope you frisked everybody for mobiles/cameras? grin

Actually, you probably frisk every time......

See you all next week, have fun. smile

Pete Thu 13-Sept-12 23:31:34

The mind boggles ana ..... I blame soop, anyone for bar billiards grin

Anagram Thu 13-Sept-12 23:06:53

Stay up where? shock

Ella46 Thu 13-Sept-12 23:03:23

Ok Pete, thanks for the drink, I've calmed down now!
I can't stay for another as I've got 4 yards of sequins to sew on my knickers, and my feather plume won't stay up!

Pete Thu 13-Sept-12 22:38:14

I know Ella ...your certainly hard work.... Pint for me Lil and another top up for Ella and all the others in the snug....past it indeed! grin

Ella46 Thu 13-Sept-12 21:37:02

No one said it was easy Pete! grin And neither am I !

Littlenellie Thu 13-Sept-12 21:22:04

Argentine tango anyone..?

Pete Thu 13-Sept-12 20:25:18

I just give up....another pint lil and your own.....past it indeed..... shock

soop Thu 13-Sept-12 17:16:40

grin x 10

Littlenellie Thu 13-Sept-12 17:07:34

And his kick ball change..sorry johnny er I mean jerry.. grin

Ella46 Thu 13-Sept-12 16:59:49

(Can't stop laughing when I read this thread!)

NO! I am not Johnnie Ball! I am Jerry Hall of course! good grief, are you all blind?

Anyway, I think Pete's past it, I've seen his reverse turn!

soop Thu 13-Sept-12 16:59:35

Ella's a pretty wee lassie...

Anagram Thu 13-Sept-12 16:56:08

Sorry, that should have been to nellie.....

Anagram Thu 13-Sept-12 16:55:25

I am not going to hazard a guess as to which Strictly contestant Ella is, but I don't think it's Johnny Ball! grin Ella's not that old, soop!

soop Thu 13-Sept-12 16:47:01

Better duck, Nellie Our loveable Ella sounds fiesty. Is it she who plays a mean banjo? Or, is she a whiz with the castanets?

And...may I add, I shouldn't be here. Haven't sorted a job that I meant to tackle immediately after breakfast. Is there an antidote to this forum? wink
