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.

Peardrop50 Fri 31-Jul-20 20:01:26

No come on Eileen, common everyone else. Bit drunk

Peardrop50 Fri 31-Jul-20 20:04:38

Can't spell draft/draught. had too many fffs or was it ees, bit dyslexic tonight. Off to snort AGAs talcum powder.

lemongrove Fri 31-Jul-20 20:07:55

Bit drunk? Bit ?! ??
Those cocktails are wicked eh? Lovely bit of karaoke there though Peardrop can you give us another?Am well envious of your get up!
If you stop speaking in Welsh then maybe everybody would understand you.?

lemongrove Fri 31-Jul-20 20:09:56

Alright, you sit the next one out an’ I’ll ‘ave another go at it..
Here we go with ‘throw a chicken in the air’! Let’s all do a conga all the way to the gasworks!

Doodle Fri 31-Jul-20 20:26:21

peardrop who’ve you been ffffffing with? Ass for the eees is that the eee bah gums. Your scent has slipped tonight.
Oh lemon those cocktails are lethal...let’s have another round... I feel the birdie song coming on ?

Peardrop50 Fri 31-Jul-20 20:58:57

AGA do do do push pineapple shake a tree...
macarena next, kicking off these heels, never wanted to be 6 feet tall anyway.
Phew Lemon is that the gas works or have you been eating american pies?
Sex on the Bleach all round, c'mon Doodle let's grab those two lifeguards.

Doodle Fri 31-Jul-20 22:51:07

Ok peardrop lets dance the night away. I think my lifeguard’s snorkel is bigger than yours ?

AGAA4 Sat 01-Aug-20 16:02:50

Think I had too many sex on the bleaches last night. Last thing I remember is Peardrop telling me to shake a pineapple tree so I grabbed the nearest thing. Think it was Doodle's snorkel but not sure just heard a strangled scream and someone running away.

Doodle Sat 01-Aug-20 18:18:23

Oh so that’s what happened to my lifeguard ?
Well another successful theme night. I think I’ll leave the cleaning up till tomorrow. It’s too hot today.
lemon can we have a paddling pool in the yard for me to soak my feet in. We could have some plastic palm trees ??

lemongrove Sat 01-Aug-20 22:17:29

Have no memory of Friday night whatsoever.......what happened? I woke up this morning in a skip on the dockside, next to Achilles, who was only wearing a bandana, a baseball cap and a happy smile.My shoes were missing and I was wearing a mermaid outfit ( don’t ask!)I also had a blinder of a headache and my eyes wouldn’t focus.Those cocktails are certainly the business!

Peardrop50 Sat 01-Aug-20 22:29:42

What a night, Lemon you minx, Achilles may have run off with your shoes, hope they were sling backs, you know how much trouble he has with that heel of his. I'm sure the mermaids tail kept you safe, legs firmly together - not quite the right vibe for Aiya Napa.
Goodness me Doodle you always get the big ones, no wonder you're always smiling.
AGA I don't think it was Doodle's snorkel, I hear the Admiral is walking in a very strange manner today.

Doodle Sat 01-Aug-20 22:56:37

Ooh AGA the poor Admiral. He kept saying something like “shake it all about”.
It was a good night though peardrop . lemon certainly seemed to enjoy it. She and Achilles went off trying to find a fish tank for her to swim in. ?

lemongrove Tue 04-Aug-20 18:45:10

I certainly did ( as Laurel and Hardy used to say)....
Every Friday night is a cracker, and we are making so much dosh we need to have a discussion about what to spend it on.
1. Using it to lure George Clooney back to the bar ( first class airline ticket for him and the promise of something wonderful?)
2. Extending the bar by building another room completely so that we can double the room for punters.
3. Building a rest room at the back for us all to relax ‘in private’ ( ahem!)
4. Steam cleaning the cellar.
5.Steam cleaning the Admiral
6.Buying Thor, Kev and Achilles new posing pouches
7.Buying ourselves brand new outfits at Madame Pom Pom’s
Dockside boutique.
Whaddya think?

lemongrove Tue 04-Aug-20 18:47:32

My turn to choose a theme night for Friday....hmmm, I think we will have a Pirate Nite. I shall come as Captain Jack Sparrow, now, where’s me Captain’s hat?

lemongrove Tue 04-Aug-20 18:50:55

We had a Pirate Party once before, it was a great success...
I think Chewbacca pulled off the Admiral’s wooden leg thinking it was a prop! The poor old guy fell over.
We couldn’t get a parrot so Doodle had a dressed up ferret on her shoulder....ah, happy days.

Peardrop50 Tue 04-Aug-20 20:55:49

Oo Arrrr, I've lost my buccaneers, oh no they're on the side of my buccan'ead.
Teaching the parrot to say 'pieces of 9', allowing for inflation.
Can't wait for Friday, bagsy not walking the plank.

Peardrop50 Tue 04-Aug-20 20:57:58

No. 6, posing pouches long overdue.

Doodle Tue 04-Aug-20 21:04:16

Yup I vote for number 6 too. Yes we all know what you want number 3 for. ...relaxing indeed. ?
Pirate night fantastic. Shiver me timbers.
I don’t want the parrot this time. Last time it s* all down my costume. I will give my costume some thought. ?

AGAA4 Wed 05-Aug-20 14:15:25

I will come as Long John Gold - Long John Silver's richer brother.

A hot tub would be good with any extra cash but maybe not as Lemon would hog it with Achilles, Kev and Thor.

Doodle I have a well trained parrot you could use

GrannyGravy13 Wed 05-Aug-20 14:20:21

Are you open I have had one hell of a day!!!

I hear Johnny Depp is available on Friday, he needs to hide somewhere safe ???

I would be surprised if George Clooney would venture back into the Argy willingly, but I am up for kidnapping him (I think he is in his UK abode up the road from Mrs May?).

lemongrove Wed 05-Aug-20 14:30:17

Come on in GG I am lining up the drinks on the bar for you, poteen, lemonade and ice cubes do you???????
Tell us all about your hell of a day ( but wait until I turn the music up as I have heard your language before, t’would make a docker blush)?

lemongrove Wed 05-Aug-20 14:32:44

Right, number 6 it is girls ( new posing pouches) but there will be money left over, so maybe a hot tub in the back yard as AGA suggests with an added shelf to put our drinkies on.
Rub a dub dub three men in a tub and who do you think they be??

lemongrove Wed 05-Aug-20 14:34:48

Another very warm day ....I have put my hair up ( it’s hanging on the washing line) my blonde wig blowing in the breeze.
It’s a change for me as I usually let my hair down,Cheers?

GrannyGravy13 Wed 05-Aug-20 14:40:03

I shall nip round the M25 Friday morning as I hear Amal has a play date with the twins so George will be alone. I have got the plastic ties from work and a sack trolley to wheel him into the boot!!!! Should be at Argy mid to late afternoon!!

Posing pouches .........what about leopard print or lured??

As for my bad morning GrandpaGravy has just demonstrated how the new kitchen tap works..........as if I have never used a tap
before ????? along with single handedly destroying my hanging baskets. Thank goodness the gardener is in tomorrow as my bush needs trimming!!!

AGAA4 Wed 05-Aug-20 15:04:07

No straggly bushes allowed GG. What sort of place do you think this is?
I hope there won't be any argy over the hot tub if George and Johnny arrive. The Admiral and the Captain won't be happy about that. I have steam cleaned them both after Friday night.
They ended up on a refuse tip in Scunthorpe!
