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

Pete Wed 12-Sept-12 19:20:04

Well ! thats what I call a 'work out' ella grin

Anagram Wed 12-Sept-12 17:12:12

Bet you wish you'd kept those combinations now, Ella! wink
Twas not me in the cellar with those disreputables - I have been hosing down the beer mats and boiling the dishcloth....think Lil might have to invest in a new one, it's more holes than cloth!

Ella46 Wed 12-Sept-12 16:36:16

soop confused

soop Wed 12-Sept-12 16:30:08

Ella The next time you go exercising and drinking coffee, remember to put your dress on with the zip at the back and your shoes on the right feet. Appears you dressed in a frantic hurry. grin

Ella46 Wed 12-Sept-12 16:22:46

soop Say no more [nudge] [nudge] wink wink

soop Wed 12-Sept-12 16:12:48

Ella I didn't like to mention Ana in the same breath as "chaps in the cellar"...but, I do have my suspicions. grin

Ella46 Wed 12-Sept-12 16:10:03

Don't look at me.... I've been exercising and drinking coffee wink

Not seen Ana for a while though! hmm

soop Wed 12-Sept-12 11:27:11

Littlenellie Surely they're not ensconced in the cellar. If so, which of the regular laydees are missing? shock hmm grin

Littlenellie Wed 12-Sept-12 09:48:29

gramps Lil said her cockney dad always used to say "ello gel 'owsyerbellyofferspots"
How's the dragon he seems to be behaving today...have you seen peteand oldjohn aboutxx

gramps Tue 11-Sept-12 22:54:46

Good day me Ladeeys. I hope you are all in the pink - so to speak!
I'm looking for Pete. Have you lovely beauties seen him?
Hello Ladymo and Phoenix. Very pleased to make your aquaintence. I haven't had the plesure till now. (but I'm looking forward to it!)

Allow me to buy you both a drink. wine wine

Ella , it hit the spot a treat. Tempted to have another, and another and another, but have to attend to my "boys", as they are playing up.

Ella46 Tue 11-Sept-12 19:19:22

Cheers soop, and hello ladymo, as my mum used to say, while you're in this den of iniquity cosy bar,"Keep yer 'and on yer 'alfpenny" and you won't go wrong!

phoenix I hope you feel a bit more chilled after that very large drink?
Just watch out for the 'boys'! grin

soop Tue 11-Sept-12 18:16:16

Coming up phoenix Pleased to have your company. You sound as if you've had a tough day. There's always a warm welcome and a jolly atmosphere here in the snug. The men folk can be a tad trying...but they are good hearted with it. Lil knows how to handle them. Enjoy a relaxing evening. I'm off now as I've a few jobs waiting to be done. Seem to have spent rather a long time in the snug. It's always such a pleasure to drop in for a wee while. I shall return tomororrow. Cheers to you all. wine grin

Anne58 Tue 11-Sept-12 17:22:10

I take that this is a virtual bar, please can I have a super large scotch and soda, as I feel in great need!

soop Tue 11-Sept-12 17:08:22

Hello ladymo it's nice to meet you. The snug is strictly for we gels. As you'll appreciate, we tend to be more refined than the gang of chaps propping up the bar. Mind you, when they disappear into the games room, we're all wondering what it is that keeps them guffawing with laughter. Best not venture through those doors. No telling when we'd see you again. grin

Littlenellie Tue 11-Sept-12 17:00:03

Come in ladymo one brandy and coke coming up,haven't had the pleasure of speaking with you before.,I am Lils sister Nellie come and join us around the fire.

ladymo Tue 11-Sept-12 16:56:35

My what a beautiful cosy fire. A nice brandy and coke would warm me inners girls.

soop Tue 11-Sept-12 16:45:09

Anyone fancy a bag of chips? The van is parked outside. Something to eat is what we need. I note that there's a line of drinks on the bar. Pete popped his head round the door and said that, as there's now room in the honesty box...it had to emptied because it was over full, he's treating us to a round [on him]...which means Lil still hasn't a single coin in the till.

Littlenellie Tue 11-Sept-12 16:26:12

soop yes the something is ok ...it's the other that I am worried about grin
hi ella is that a small or a large brandy...shall I get it for you..

soop Tue 11-Sept-12 16:25:34

Cheers, Ella lovely of you to join us. It's good to sit in this quiet corner of the snug. You deserve a brandy with your coffee. I took the liberty of lighting the fire. A fire makes a big difference to the ambiance. I'm not sure, but I think that amongst the firelighters and kindling, I spied that tatty old fake beard that gramps used try to wear as a sporran. Remember how it used to hang so close to the ground that it would trip him up? Too late now...it's gone up in a big puff of smoke.

Ella46 Tue 11-Sept-12 16:14:56

Hi girls, I might just have a coffee and a small brandy with you both, I need to recover from my dgd.
Thanks for looking out for me soop, I could really do with a benefit night or two.

soop Tue 11-Sept-12 16:08:39

Yep! It certainly is good to share a quiet drink in the snug with you for company. That rascal Pete is a real sweetie. Have you noticed how thoughtful he is when in the company of a laydee? His manners are tip top. It's all please and thankyou and can I interest you in a little something or other. Can't deny that he has a way with the gels. grin

Littlenellie Tue 11-Sept-12 16:00:14

Too Andy Murray wine ..
Just a quick one soop sit your self down,I will get them,what do you think that rascal pete is cooking up,ages since we have had a quiet chat in here ....isn't this nice and cosyxxx

soop Tue 11-Sept-12 15:54:40

Littlenellie thanks for putting us in the picture. Whilst I'm here, I'll have a double wee dram. Need to drink a toast to that champion, Andy Murray. flag

Littlenellie Tue 11-Sept-12 15:48:13

What I think pete means is Lil gets the benefit ......of petes experience grin
