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.

Grr ? AGA you pinched my joke. I was going to come in with plain or self raising ?
I have purchased a new wig for Friday. Blonde locks entwined with delicate flowers. I am practicing swaying slowly to the sound of music ? ? ....... Doe a deer a female deer, ray a drop of golden...?. Noooo I’m coming as Julie Andrews. Wrong theme night.....back to the drawing board. ?

Sorry Doodle I couldn't resist the flower/flour joke. I have a long auburn wig and have been looking for my old guitar so I can strum along with Bob O'Dylan.

Stay wild moon child!

Harry says Bob will be arriving LGW at noon on Friday. Can anyone tell me where the Argy is so I can advise them?
I think he’ll be cutting it a bit fine for an evening performance but he just kept saying “Peace Man.”
My voice is deep but Bob’s going to get a surprise Friday when he sees me in my see-through floaty negligee and realises I’m a chick not a guy.
AGA if Lemongrove sees you with that flour you’ll be for the high jump. She wants soop to make some lemon meringue pie bases with that for the punters.

I once went to Crewe ( once was enough) ?
We need all new cocktails with a hippy theme, get working on it girls.
Is Harry Krishner coming to the bar on Friday? Does he have many good looking friends to bring?
It’s too hot today so am going with the Captain for a trip around the bay and back for tea.....laters!?

lemongrove Mon 10-Aug-20 16:59:28

Oh! I thought you were a guy too Puzzler.....maybe shave your chest for Friday?

Puzzler61 Mon 10-Aug-20 17:02:24

Strings of paper flowers are coming along nicely, thought we could hang them over the doorways and over the rise and fall lights on the bar.
Does anyone have tissue paper out of old shoeboxes - it would be good to make them 2 tone? They’re all yellow at the minute. Quite effective though, if you don’t look too close they pass for sunflowers.

Directions to The Argy......take the first left at the Korean Noodle Bar on Dockside Terrace, follow that down past the chip shop, and turn right at the tattoo parlour on the corner.
Follow all the way down Pigstrotters Alley and cross the road.
Look carefully left....you should see a small sign with an arrow on pointing to The Argy Bargy Bar.You can’t miss it, Doodle usually hangs about outside and leans on a lamp post wearing a red feather boa.

Puzzler61 Mon 10-Aug-20 17:08:07

Don’t worry I will Lemon I can’t be doing with any body hair in this heat.

Harry said he’ll be bringing his mates in a black maria minibus.

Puzzler61 Mon 10-Aug-20 17:09:32

Got it, got it lemon.
I’ll tell Harry to tell Bob those exact instructions.

Peardrop50 Mon 10-Aug-20 17:42:35

I’ve been busy embroidering flowers on my long winciette nighty, borrowed some beads from the nuns and made a lovely flowery hat with the colander.
Thought I’d come barefoot give the stilettos a rest.
Puzzler I haven’t got any tissue paper but there must be some nice pink toilet paper left over from 1969 in The Argy loo. We could hang it around the lights, I could bring a llama lamp.

Peardrop50 Mon 10-Aug-20 17:46:12

Think I upset Thor when I got the peace sign the wrong way round. Sorry Thor. Peace and love.

Puzzler61 Mon 10-Aug-20 17:46:50

All sounds groovy Peardrop - until you’re said the “L” word.
Are you on commission from that LLama farm?

I think you mis googled - in the 60’s was it lava lamps? They lit up and looked like fried eggs were writhing about inside?

Puzzler61 Mon 10-Aug-20 17:55:12

I’ve just sold tickets to a Mr Austin Powers and a Mr Gold Member.
Apparently Harry had been on the blower to Mr Member and told him about our Flower Power Night.
We’re getting a lot of male interest in this - I hope Thor and Kev won’t be feeling jealous.
You’d better promise them special lovin’ Peardrop - we need them at our beck and call working on Friday.

Doodle Mon 10-Aug-20 21:04:06

peardrop you just leave that llama where it is. My poor behind hasn’t recovered from last time.?
Llama lamps indeed.
Cocktails for flower power night. ? Sundowner - rum and sunflower oil. Easy rider. - prunes and Guinness.

Puzzler61 Mon 10-Aug-20 22:40:40

May I suggest Doodle isn’t in charge of cocktails? Please don’t be offended but ... those 2 sound Yuk!
The only creature who would keep those down would be a llama.
Can we have flowery ones, hibiscus, elderflower, crystallised violet, orange blossom liquer, as befits us ethereal creatures who will be floating on a cloud of (spiff) vapour ?

Doodle Mon 10-Aug-20 23:45:54

Humpf. ? you can have any of those you like puzzler but if you get a blockage in your plumbing, you will find my easy rider does more for you than elderflower presse ?

Puzzler61 Tue 11-Aug-20 07:22:16

? ?
Bob O’Dylan has it in his rider that we have to give him a ‘Slippery Nipple’ in his dressing room before he takes to the floor.

AGAA4 Tue 11-Aug-20 15:10:56

I have asked a very handsome St John Ambulance man to attend on Friday. He will bring 3 colleagues all hunky. I think the night of peace and love will turn out to be anything but. You know how Doodle gets all the men and llamas worked up.
Puzzler you can give Bob a slippery nipple. I will be making tequila with infused mint leaves and a drop of Milton as my cocktail - tequila surprise.
Lemon and Peardrop will probably faint (as if) so they can be treated by the handsome Ambulance men.

Puzzler61 Tue 11-Aug-20 17:56:14

I am partial to a uniform AGA , I can already feel a swoon coming on. Smelling salts anybody?

lemongrove Tue 11-Aug-20 18:45:08

Flowery cocktails you say....hmm, what about dandelion wine with a dash of dettol? Be near a loo after you have had one though.

Doodle Tue 11-Aug-20 20:28:40

I do not get llamas worked up. ? it is not my fault if the llamas find me attractive. I will need constant attention from the ambulance men in case the llamas get too close.

lemongrove Tue 11-Aug-20 20:43:55

I think it’s your wig they like Doodle maybe it’s made from llama hair?
Good job this Friday is hippy theme with the weather being so hot, am looking forward to wearing my cool floaty kaftan,
At the moment am feeling so sweaty that I think I shall go and take my sequinned thong off ( and the matching vest) and let it all hang free.

Doodle Tue 11-Aug-20 20:52:56

What’s all that banging noise ?
Oh, it’s lemon’s unsupported bits hitting the floor. ?

lemongrove Tue 11-Aug-20 20:56:24

Humphhhhh!?It was my heavy sequinned vest, as you well know madam!Here goes my thong now.....crash!

Puzzler61 Tue 11-Aug-20 22:39:52

Phew, I’m sweating like a nun’s crotch if you’ll excuse the expression. I’ve been practising cakes for Friday night, some groovy CND themed one. All natural ingredients.
I can knock out a few dozen tomorrow. They shouldn’t be too stale by Friday.
