Lil's Bar 5

There you are Pete! Goose wasn't upset at all - quite the opposite, in fact...

'scuse me...I aint gone yet, just lurking in the bogs....more like cess pits

Well I'm on the darts team....so is it round the board or round of drinks..

...unbelievable.....

A darts team of one Pete? Think you'll win but a ring round the board sounds good to me. (Where's the Aunt Sally) that's what we play where I comes from. I collected me pension today, so I'll squander it all on a round of drinks...whattch having Pete?

Was thinking of an early night Goose......but a quick nightcap might help me nod off....

Erm.....phoenix?
I'll have a drinking chocolate...

Horlicks...??....

ok, an Ovaltine and you're on

Oooh, Horlicks and brandy is lush! Proper Horlicks though, not that instant stuff!

Everything in here is genuine....unlike other places

"We are the Ovaltinnies happy girls and boys".....sorry

No problem Goose....I'm going up now.....close the door when you go TA..

'Hallelujah...Pete's ascending. Where's the Port? :-)

Hic

Evening all!

there you are, phoenix! Two big white wines, please, dear Pete. Hello, everyone; I need to relax in the normality that prevails here. (!)

Doublelease!

Double please

AriadneTwo big white wines?...Here have the bottle ...save messing about
Galen Ditto ..with the Vodka !
Evening Phoenix ...you back for 'seconds' ..

I know I need something, just had a call (yes, I know it's Sunday and she did apologise) with further news about my induction for the new job.

it now looks as if I will have to DRIVE THE NEW CAR from Enfield to Manchester, then Manchester to Nottingham, then from can't remember where to Salisbury to home.

I'm really really worried about this, to the point where I'm actually having second thoughts about accepting the job.

Before anyone says anything, I know it's silly, and I have a piece of paper and a plastic thing that says I'm allowed to do it, but that's not the point. (worried/scared face)

SO.....is it a scotch 'n soda OR horlicks and brandy ?..

Horlicks and brandy I think, Pete , with a valium chaser.

Please, thank you. See, I'm all of a doo dah and forgetting my manners.

Heaven only knows what I will be like by this time next week.
