The Old Argy Bargy Bar.....a new lease of life!

Doodle Now that they know about the cancan it will be very difficult to keep them away.
Puzzler The combination of frilly knickers, posing pouch and pulsating music sounds just the thing to bring in the temperance society in droves. I hope the Argy has good stocks of sarsaparilla and iced water. They will need it.

Elegran, woweee! Les pantaloons sound even more risqué than we thought, yipeee!
Doodle, if lemon gets you the purple wig I’ll add a few matching tassel embellishments to your frock ... in strategic places

Elegran you’ve shocked me - I will be off to rifle through DH’s wardrobe. I know he has a posing pouch somewhere.
I’ll have to wear it to cover my modesty for the high kicks (what have I let myself in for)??

Don’t worry elegran we won’t be wearing any knickers like that most of the clientele don’t wear any at all . Please make sure the temperance group don’t look in the windows on Friday, I don’t think we have a fibrilator here yet.
peardrop you are most welcome. Please make yourself at home.
Love the outfit carillion great.?
lemon could I please have a purple wig with gold highlights to match with my ahem.. other bits please.

I was just passing on my way to the temperance society meeting across the road when I heard someone mention frilly knickers. I was so shocked I couldn't help glancing through the window (normally I hurry past with eyes averted) and noticed the ilustrations above. I hope you ladies are aware of how authentic cancan knickers were constructed - (^two separate legs^ without a seam, each tied on round the waist with tape - ), and are not planning to wear any for your high-kicking routine? Not in a respectable neighbourhood like this! The regulars at the temperance meeting will be dropping in to check up on the performance and tell their friends how disgraceful it is!

Oohh Errrr Yes. I mean dare I? I’ll practice standing on one legs - storks do it, it can’t be that difficult!

Puzzler...how about this frock to match your new blonde wig??

What d’ye think Doodle?

I’ve always fancied being blonde so put me down for a blonde wig please lemon.

? All the girls, love a Sailors ?
If you’d have mentioned Sailors I would have said straight away “ count me in”. I may need a run through with the Can Can, though I need no practice with the Sailors ?

Blonde spiky for me please lemon with green tips (that’s for the wig)...
and the french matelots are on their way ...phew! It’s goin’ to be an entente cordiale night with all the frilly whatsits, have we got enough feather boas in the cellar?
Lins, I’ll bring our franglais phrase book, the one you wrote last Friday when you ran off with the french sailors, should be all the appropriate phrases in there that lemon will let use use ???
Doodle, frock’s on the way, just looking for some navy frou-frou knickers so you’ll blend in when the sailors turn up ⚓️⚓️

Phwoar, strong stuff, I'm sure I can cancan on Friday, but if I can't cancan I can let you know that I can't cancan. hic!

any more takers for the can-can routine on Friday night [French Nite] ?
may I take orders for wigs? blonde, ginger, brunette, long, medium, short, spiky ?

Ooh a slice of....ermm....or a pint of....er...no, I think I'll just take Thor, my wish is...................
on second thoughts I'll calm myself with a pint of Old Dark Goblin thank you. Licking lips

Ah! new customers [rubs hands briskly] come in and take a pew.
our wildly handsome bar staff [Thor and Kev] will be with you soon.Your wish is their command.
may I recommend the woodland quiche [ahem!] and a pint of our guest ale 'Old Dark Goblin' it has a real kick.I make it myself in the cellar.

Knock knock... with trepidation, hello, can I come in please, I have a large bowl of strawberries, a bottle of gin, a ready made jug or two of Pimms and lots of chocolate.
I am quite capable of downing a few glasses of poteen without falling over and disgracing myself.
Do I qualify, pretty please.

No wonder the memory blurs after a Pint of poteen. ? ?

Oh yes, poteen comes in a pint glass.?It’s delish with a cherry in and a slice of mango.??

Poteen cocktails can be arranged Puzzler but the vessel of choice around here is usually a pint glass, or a fireman's bucket.

Oohh I’m thinking poteen (potatoes in it) similar to vodka and gin? so I think I’d be up for that.?
Do you serve poteen with a cherry and straw and little umbrella, a poteen cocktail? ?

puzzler what you need is a glass of lemon’s poteen. Not known to cure any ailments but it makes you forget about them...... and everything else. Don’t know what she puts in it but when she’s brewing in the cellar we can hear chanting ...eye of newt and toe of frog ...?

I will keep my ? peeled Doodle, though I am waiting to have an eye test and specs - so forgive me if I miss anything until I get new eyes. I think I’m spending a lot of time on gn and it’s ageing my peepers ?

puzzler you need to keep a watch on the Argy theme nights. We’ve already done the Gay Gordon’s. We will all need to practice the high kicks. You know you can can ?

But I prefer my Gordon’s in a glass, double please lemon with tonic and a slice ??

If you audition me for the Can Can I know you’d be saying No No!

I can do the Gay Gordon’s though?
