Ah, it brings a tear to the eye, look at the old place.It’s just as it was on the day we moved out, it’s a bit dusty....cough cough though.

Soop that’s alright, I expect they mean the Alphabet Bar!
I heard it’s gone downhill since we left.
Have you still got that fireman stashed somewhere?

Doodle Sun 07-Jun-20 22:49:34

Er...what sort of quick one do you have in mind lemon? ?
I will need a rest before we do Irish Friday. I have given up trying to play the bagpipes so for Irish night I have been rehearsing my Irish dancing with soop. We plan on doing the whole Riverdance routine on the bar. Stand by for some high kicks.

Thanks for the warning Doodle I shall send for a carpenter, that bar top will need quite a bit of re-enforcing done to it, a steel girder may be a good idea.?
Let’s all wear green, I have a green afro wig somewhere and
Green wellies.

Although I didn't attend the Scottish orgy night celebrations, I read in the Glasgow Times that the dance 'Strip the Willow' was misinterpretated. Own up. Whose idea was it to incorporate a strip tease?

blush mea culpa

Doodle Mon 08-Jun-20 20:58:20

soop I hope you’ve been practicing the splits for Friday night when you and I are performing. I have polished my tap shoes (well, clogs with nails in)

I shall be singing a stirring rendition of Danny Boy when I have had a few.I get a bit maudlin about my Irish roots when drink has been taken.??????

soop Tue 09-Jun-20 16:00:31

Doodle dear, as instructed, I started practicing the splits earlier today. Got part way down, had chronic cramp, been unable to stand straight since. In fact, I may need the firemen to help get me upright.

Doodle Tue 09-Jun-20 19:48:41

Nice try soop. You’d do anything to get those firemen back. I’ve got them on speed dial now. They should be here soon. ?

soop Wed 10-Jun-20 16:53:43

Doodle I'm still stranded. My knicker elastic is about to give way. When it does, I shall be catapulted into space.

lemongrove Wed 10-Jun-20 18:04:26

It’s your own fault Soop for having to wear such enormous
Underthings and having the elastic too tight!
I will phone NASA and ask them to keep an eye out for you as you hurtle by.?

Doodle Wed 10-Jun-20 23:43:13

soop it’s ok. The firemen have arrived. They are going to going to cut the knicker elastic with a pair of chain cutters. Hold tight soop we’ll soon have you up.........oops.
Er lemon how long did NASA say it would take for soop to reach orbit ?

soop Thu 11-Jun-20 15:20:09

10 - nine - eight - seven - six - five - four - three - two - one - We have lift off. Lovely view. A bit chilly around the nethers...

lemongrove Thu 11-Jun-20 15:34:12

Haha...thar she blows mateys! Whoooooosh!

lemongrove Thu 11-Jun-20 15:34:56

Who’s going to do all the baking now??

Doodle Thu 11-Jun-20 15:39:59

soop while you’re up there, please bring back a slice of moon cheese and we can make a fortune selling speciality sandwiches. Can you hear me soop. I SAID CAN YOU HEAR ME SOOP? Oops ?

lemongrove Thu 11-Jun-20 15:41:01

Btw....have ordered forty crates of Guinness as we don’t have it on tap, for our Irish night on Friday.Green bunting is on the way, and I have decided to come as a Shamrock ( I already have the outfit from last year).Marydoll came as a rather drunken leprechaun ( she’s the right height without her high heels)? ......sooooo, what outfits do you all have in mind?

Doodle Thu 11-Jun-20 15:49:31

I will attend as Patrick Mcginty as I have acquired a goat. I thought we could use it to make goats cheese and entertain the punters. I have it tethered outside munching the grass. How do you milk a goat lemon ?

lemongrove Thu 11-Jun-20 15:55:58

Ah, Paddy it’s yourself to the life!
Hmm, you seem to have brought a billy goat Doodle errr...
Have you been trying to milk it? No wonder it’s looking angry.

soop Thu 11-Jun-20 17:13:27

Whoa! Upsty wotsits. Laters!

Doodle Thu 11-Jun-20 19:42:58

soop thank goodness your back. We were worried. Do you know how to milk a billy goat ??

lemongrove Fri 12-Jun-20 10:04:08

Well, the bar looks magnificent, I have thrown open the doors early to celebrate Irish night, and am sitting here with me feet up having an Irish coffee cafe anyone want one?
It’s a bit hot in this shamrock outfit ?
Altogether now.... If you’re Irish, come into the parlour, there’s a welcome etc etc.?

lemongrove Fri 12-Jun-20 10:05:12

We’ll be after having a bit of Riverdancing later on.

lemongrove Fri 12-Jun-20 10:06:25

Will you have an Irish coffee? Ah you will you will you will!
