Lil's Bar 2

phoenix Thanks for your kind offer to 'assist' me with the Lemsip ( gramps told me some people pay for that) but I will manage with me mug...

A fickle Phoenix

Sorry Pete, I think phoenix must have spiked my vodka!
I only said her soup tasted a bit strange like the stuff that gramps' long johns were soaking in [yuk emoticon]

Honestly, some people just can't take a bit of honesty!

In a word nelliem NO.....unless they knit one handed as one is required for drinking Bag and pink wool belongs to Lil ...I don't ask!
I'll look up your jumper (with my close vision) as soon as I recover from this Man/Bird/Asian Flu.

Pete the beer is lovely and in great condition. Bar keeping is obviously a talent of yours.

What are you like at knitting? Dont deny it! I saw the pink wool in your bag just now. I can sense you are in touch with your feminine side despite your attempts to appear macho. You could help me out here. I am late coming to Lil's as I have just had to undo about 10 inches of my jumper, I have left it "safe" for now but its bobbly wool and its a B*** to pick up the stitches again.

Your close vision might be better than mine. As a special reward for sorting it out I will knit you a balaclava, you can choose the colour. The nights are getting cold now and you need to keep warm at your age!

Do you think opening a knitting club in Lil's would be a good business move?

Right then, a Lemsip enema it is! Ana , prime the nozzle, we're going in!

On yer bike, Pete!

Ella must have nodded off.....any chance of a Lemsip Ana

Ella ...The Angel........drop everything you say...I'm sure whatever you have in mind will work a treat for all my ailments...Hurry.. (bring the bottle as well) xx

Blimey, Ella, you're in a brazen mood tonight!

Pete Don't panic, I've found an oily rag and I'm going to pop round and give you a good rub down later.
If you are having dizzy spells then you are probably doing too much too quickly and you have only yourself to blame!

I'm just having a quick tankard of vodka and tonic with lime please Ana, and then I'll drop everything and see what I can do for you.

Ana looks after lemons and nozzles...I'm off to 'pull myself together' after another dizzy spell

Ackshually, Pete , my lentil and bacon contains a lot of tomatoes as well, so it might have done the trick. Of course it is a lot more nutritious than plain tomato, much higher in protein.

Aaaanyway, thanks for staggering from your sick bed to make sure all is ready for this evenings session.

Did you wash your hands before slicing the lemon? And have you thoroughly wiped the nozzle on that syphon? It would probably benefit from being taken off and given a good run under the cold tap, or maybe even a good scrub.

phoenix my temperature is fine for alcohol...leave the thermometer in the dog's basket thanks (fancied tomato soup anyway). At least you did show a little concern, so a bottle of scotch awaits!
nelliem since your last visit I set up special barrel for you so no need to worry about it not being a good pint if it keeps you quiet so enjoy

As for all the other heartless bit laydees, your favorites are all ready behind the bar...just hope I dont have a dizzy spell

Er...Ella told me!

Ana...how do you know?

That's the way to deal with him, ladies! Pete likes a bit of domination....

You tell him, Nelliem we don't want any of that lead swinging here! And Pete , bring up another bottle of scotch while you're down there.

pete pull yourself together right now! Are you hoping someone will play the ministering angel and come along and make your man flu better? Its no good trying to go for the sympathy vote with the women in Lil's bar we've heard it all before!

Stop whinging, get down those stairs and change the barrels. I want a decent pint when in come in later.

Oh for goodness sake, Pete , I have already said that I have both kinds in the freezer, so don't do that feeble man thing of (faint voice) "I don't mind, whichever is easiest, I don't want to be any trouble..........." and I think we need to check your temperature before deciding if alcohol is allowed.

Now, were did I last see that thermometer.........................

Ana...missed you! Feel free to pop over with supplies

Watch yourself, phoenix....
Still, I ge the feeling Pete may have met his match in you!

Thank you phoenix any soup and crusty bread would be nice, so whatever is easy for you.

I think a couple of 'Small but Pert' would do me a world of good as well

I think that's exactly what he's got in mind Ella !

Now, being serious, I have 2 varieties of home-made soup in the freezer, so which do you fancy, lentil and bacon or leek and potato?

Both of them are nice and thick, but I could add a little cream to make them a bit thinner. I've also got some part baked baguettes in the cupboard, so you could have some hot crusty bread too.

Pete I'm sure you can take care of yourself, warmth and manipulation should cure the stiffness!
