The Bar will be open shortly.....Staff required...

All welcome....and YES.....iou's sill accepted.....to be settled at the end of the month.... grin

Pete Fri 17-May-13 12:26:14

Just spotted Sel in town......she looked rather 'flushed' wink

Sel Fri 17-May-13 13:35:02

Pete I told you I was going to pop into the Jobcentre, I've been rushing around, all to no avail. When I told them the miserly rates you were offering they laughed. I said, 'he'll throw in free beer and an odd pasty, but it didn't impress. "Call those fringe benefits?" they hooted.

At this rate, you're just going to have to carry on single-handed grin

Ana Fri 17-May-13 13:42:52

Leaving the other one free for emergencies....wink

glammanana Fri 17-May-13 13:46:24

Pete seeing that you are far too busy watching the big screen and those men chasing around like a gang of girls with a football I have made a load of sausage rolls and pork pies to go into the freezer,(thats the big white thingy in the corner of the bar)you will all have to make do with those until about Wednesday as I can't get to my oven until then the tilers are doing my kitchen so all cooking is off the menu for the time being.grin

Sel Fri 17-May-13 13:57:04

Ana grin

glammanana aren't you expecting a bit much? Pete would have to remove from the freezer and cook the rolls and pies. I doubt he'd cope. Crisps and nuts seems to be the limit, well, something packeted

Ella46 Fri 17-May-13 14:29:24

Sel 'Free beer and the odd pasty'.......that's NOT what he told me! hmm
In fact, food wasn't mentioned at all grin although he did say something about a 'nibble or two' shock grin

Sel Fri 17-May-13 15:00:51

Oooh Ella I'm sure he muttered something about perks. Strikes me he's selective in what he offers to whom. Maybe you're the one to get the nibbles and he just wants me for the donkey work. Huh!

Ella46 Fri 17-May-13 15:24:01

I blame glamma for getting him excited with all that 'food talk' wink

Pete Fri 17-May-13 15:52:09

glam smile That is very thoughtful of you and your kindness has made me 'fill up'......How long do they take to warm up and what number do I put on the cooker dial?

Football is nearly over now for this season (United won the league...again) so I'm cancelling Sky sports until next season!!! With the money saved I will arrange a free day trip to the seaside very soon. smile

Think I should be carried shoulder-high around the bar later.. grin

Pete Fri 17-May-13 15:54:32

Sel as one of your perks you can have a 'back seat' on the coach wink

Pete Fri 17-May-13 15:57:02

Nibbles are always available ella...you just have to bring your own! grin

Ella46 Fri 17-May-13 16:03:51

"Carried shoulder-high around the bar"......Haha! you'll be lucky grin

Still, it'll make a change from being carried out between two bouncers!

Ana Fri 17-May-13 16:05:34

Can't wait to read Pete's response to that one, Ella! grin

Sel Fri 17-May-13 16:12:41

Ana Stop it gringrin I'm sure Ella is very well supported

Back seat Pete? Whoooo - I'll lead the singing too - probably at my best early on in the outing...

Galen Fri 17-May-13 16:20:14

Do you barflies spend all your time in here?

Pete Fri 17-May-13 16:27:51

ella many a night has ended between two bouncers...grin....

As expected ana ? wink

Pete Fri 17-May-13 16:32:33

Sel As another perk when we arrive you can have a go on 'The Big One' ...........and after that we can go on the rides at the funfair!! grin grin

Ella46 Fri 17-May-13 16:36:21

Galen Yes, it's the place for 'inane banter' grin

Pete grin I bet!

Pete Fri 17-May-13 16:36:27

Galen...will you be attending the 'Banter Barflies Big Day Out' ? smile

Sel Fri 17-May-13 16:43:29

Hear that girls? I get to go on The Big One. First. Offering those rolls and pies did you no good Glamma And, I'm wondering Ana if you and ella have been treating pete right A bit too stroppy maybe?

Ana Fri 17-May-13 16:56:08

No, Sel, it's just that Ella and I have seen "*The Big One*", and shall we just say it may be a slight misnomer...hmm

Sel Fri 17-May-13 17:21:08

I've heard it's quite scary Ana but I'm inclined to believe you - you're a woman of experience after all grin

Ana Fri 17-May-13 17:25:22

Scary, yes...! grin

Ella46 Fri 17-May-13 17:26:31

Trust us Sel There isn't more to Pete than meets the eye! wink

Sel Fri 17-May-13 17:32:32

Oh dear Ella I think I was getting over excited for a minute. There's an expression that comes to mind but I will restrain myself grin
