Argy-Bargy Cafe - enter at your peril ?

A typical post could be

Quick Anya a pint of the house red, I can't bear the peace and quiet breaking out all over GN. There are threads where NOONE is arguing - even and you won't believe this, there is an outbreak of praising the Queen. Always the same group of posters, I don't know what's got into them, they clearly really enjoy being nice to people and agreeing with each other . Another pint while I square up for battle

Try a cardamom pod in your Gin, devine

Ds worked as a bouncer (sorry....door steward) when he was at uni. Will I see if he's available?

I'm just worrying about everyone's blood pressure. Maybe I should be matron? Or just hold people's coats while they get stuck in to good going fights?

Jane I think you are missing the point - it's the Argy Bargy cafe - if anyone gets thrown out I think it will be for NOT arguing and being shocked at said arguing.

Oh what a great idea. I was thinking I needed something. I don't want to descend into old age and chat about how cute my cat is and what colour curtains I should buy. I want to rage about things that matter. "Rage rage against the dying of the light"
Oh and never mind the bar-person, open a bottle of something decent and I'll take it from there.

Camomile tea? Not bloody likely! I think you've missed the point Jane.

As the OP says, this the Argy Bargy Caff - not for the feint of heart.

Chamomile what?????

I've put a few sprigs of rosemary behind the bar for those of a herbal persuasion. It's the IN THING for gin o'clock.

Plays havoc with my hayfever though.

Definitely think a bouncer/security guard will be required to break up the arguments that seem to flare up on all sorts of threads on GN. Virtual knocking of heads together required at times.
Maybe only camomile tea should be available? It's for the best.

Er, this is a cafe so alcohol not compulsory.

That said, mine's a large G&T with a few olives (low-carb choices).

Addition to the rules .. no cakes.

It rather sounds as though it will be a bit of rough so no need for a bouncer - except of course to bounce out people who clutch pearls and are easily shocked. A darts board? ( with a picture of 'politician of the day' on it) If you are welcoming cross dressers, are the loos gender neutral?

What an excellent idea. Any suggestions as to who should be co opted as bouncer?

Anya, I doubt I'd make a good barperson.....I get flustered easily ......could cope with 'red' or 'white' just about!

Cosmopolitan please roses

I would avoid the open dish of peanuts on the bar though!

Well Chewy I can certainly have a go at making one for you..... Sex On The Beach is a popular one, shake, shake shake...pour, glug.?

Do they serve cocktails in here, do you know?

Carry on without me ....I'll be back

Hilda is forthwith barred as she's broken both rules in one post ....unless she mans (womans?) the bar as a penance.

Now THIS is more like it.

Just off out Roses but there's a selection of drinks behind the bar. Help yourself and serve anyone else who turns up.

And before that it was Lil's Bar! That was great fun...sigh...(wonder if Ella, as she was then, remembers...?)

It was Pete's Bar btw and a nice place it was too!
I used to pop in for a gin and tonic now and then.Boheminan revived the Bar after Pete and we had a lot of fun.
I don't think it was robust though Anya the chatter was friendly as far as I remember.
So, if you are behind the bar, I will have a nice glass of house red.??

What if its the cats who are doing the knitting?
