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.

Lemongrove you and your Argy crew are making my sides ache with laughing. Again.
You should be paid to write scripts for comedy radio plays. You are all such a bundle of good old silliness and FUN with a touch of naughtiness ☠️?
Cheers! ?

Very stylish peardrop I trust you are well impressed with my lovely feathers. lemon I will have a cocktail please with a long straw and a large bag of nuts. ?

Peardrop50 Fri 07-Aug-20 20:20:53

I am the very model of a modern Major General wearing white high heels with lime green socks purchased in Penzance

Pretty Polly Doodle sounds like a cue for song or was it Polly Wally Doodle.
Granny Gravy you're not going get off the M25 while your car is rocking in a layby, I saw you.
Golden llama, how cute AGA can I borrow him to ride in the 5.30 at Haydock tomorrow, when I told them my unicorn was lame, they wrote back to say unicorn/llama whats the difference?
I have the gold hooped earring in my pouch Lemon along with the eyepatch. I hope you've got the crumbs out of your beard.
Ship ahoy.

Doodle Fri 07-Aug-20 18:09:46

I’d like to see him try ?
grannygravy I’ve been reading about you driving round with your top down in soop’s kitchen. Might have known you’d have George with you ?

AGAA4 Fri 07-Aug-20 17:40:11

Doodle I don't think the llama is partial to parrots so you are quite safe. He may drink your gin though .

GrannyGravy13 Fri 07-Aug-20 17:37:45

Still stuck on M25 ??

Doodle Fri 07-Aug-20 17:35:00

I’ll be ok I hope lemon I will perch near an open door and let the wind ruffle my feathers. Who let that llama in here? Do they ear parrots ?? ?

lemongrove Fri 07-Aug-20 15:40:03

Yes AGA the more the merrier, but bring a shovel and a bag as well, I know what those blighters can produce.
Wow! Doodle that’s an impressive parrot alright.....will you be too hot tonight though?If I see you falling gently down in a faint I will alert the Captain and he will be on standby to strip you off.
I am wondering if I will leave off my beard for this evening with the heat, maybe just make an entrance in it first though.
Peardrop you promised to lend me one of your large gold hooped earrings, so don’t forget to bring it.
GG13 well done! Keep him for a couple of days until we have found a place to keep him ( he became very good at picking the lock in the cellar.)
Right....time for a large iced poteen and a sit down for a bit.

AGAA4 Fri 07-Aug-20 15:30:23

Doodle that is a very fine parrot but I wouldn't want him on my shoulder.
GG I wondered who had my big chest and I need it for tonight.
Peardrop some of the swearing was awful. I heard " what a cad!" and "you bounder" several times. I was shocked.
My gold lame order went wrong and they have sent me a llama! Will have to make my costume as usual out of Tesco bags.
Lemon can I bring the llama?

Doodle Fri 07-Aug-20 13:57:47

Guess who!!!!!!

Who’s a pretty polly then?

Doodle Fri 07-Aug-20 13:56:12

See you in a months time then grannygravy ?
Oh and by the way gg please bring your big chest back. AGA is looking for it.

Ha ha peardrop. Remember what you said about me when you see my costume for tonight. ?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 07-Aug-20 12:25:21

I am on the M25 George is blindfolded and tied up in the boot along with his coffee machine as the Argy one was looking a bit tired ☕️?. ETA when I have finished with George ??

Peardrop50 Thu 06-Aug-20 21:29:36

Yo ho ho and a bottle of whatever's on the go, I have found the treasure map, it seems there is a big chest near GG's trimmed bush. X marks the spot.
Lemon I'm sure the iced gin soak will help with the bunions, probably a result of the high heels you favoured while you were splicing the main brace. Maybe get the Admiral to suck your toes.
Aga I did swear but I don't remember the particular words, probably 'shiver me timbers', it's one of my favourites, Doodle undoubtedly said much worse, even the parrot blushes when she starts.

Doodle Thu 06-Aug-20 21:11:08

I think you could be on to something there lemon with this hot weather coming on. We could offer the spirit foot bar. Cool your feet and drink at the same time. Make mine a rum and coke one please. Aaaah bliss. The ice cubes are a bit hard underfoot though, ?

lemongrove Thu 06-Aug-20 20:20:06

Am sitting in the bar with me feet in a washing up bowl of iced gin ( I can handily scoop up a glassful whenever I feel like it) cut out the middleman, that’s what I always say.
It’s a quiet night at this end of the bar......the other end if the bar is full of Thor and Kev admirers.

lemongrove Thu 06-Aug-20 20:17:03

That’s nothing...have you seen Kev and his screwdriver??

Doodle Thu 06-Aug-20 20:09:27

Glad we’re all getting ready. My outfit has arrived. I’m so excited. Can’t wait to wear it tomorrow.
lemon I think the bar is finished now. Please ask Thor to put his hammer away......he’s attracting a crowd. ?

lemongrove Thu 06-Aug-20 17:03:25

I expect the crew to turn up bright and early we have much to do before opening time.
The Admiral says he will pretend to arrest me and then take me off to a cabin for a full interrogation! What fun.

lemongrove Thu 06-Aug-20 16:59:54

Aharrrgh me hearties! I have been splicing the mainbrace for most of the day, yohoho and a bottle of rum.
The bar has been turned into an impressive ship’s deck by Thor who is very handy with a hammer, as you would expect.
I have hired a full pirate captain’s outfit for tomorrow and will wear black eyeliner like Jack Sparrow......I shall be magnificent as always.?

AGAA4 Thu 06-Aug-20 14:22:47

I will be in gold lame from head to toe as Long John Gold as befits my rich status, with a bird of paradise on my shoulder (a sparrow with dyed feathers)
I've heard that Health and Safety are sending another man to check the Argy. Very brave as the three who came before have never been heard of again! Doodle, Peardrop and myself Aga swore we had seen them leave (lemon knows how good we are at swearing)

Lemon has got them in the cellar treading grapes for her own special Argy wine.

Doodle Wed 05-Aug-20 18:19:02

I have my outfit for Friday.. it’s impressive.
By the way lemon someone is delivering a perch tree on Friday for me. I want it installed by the bar

lemongrove Wed 05-Aug-20 17:06:51

Scunthorpe you say AGA ? A real Soddom and Gomorrah kind of place if you ask me, so no surprises there!

lemongrove Wed 05-Aug-20 17:04:51

Drat those birds!
Never mind....I will have my Captains hat on my bald head on Friday, it will be cooler that way.
Thor is ace with a hedge trimmer! I love my peacock.?

Doodle Wed 05-Aug-20 15:07:37

grannygravy ooh grandpagravy is norty. Put him in the cellar for a bit that should cool him off.
lemon says Thor likes trimming her bush you could get him to have a go at your’s too. I think lemon had hers done as a peacock ? would that suit you do you think? ?
I still haven’t decided who I’m coming as. I may surprise you all.
lemon I don’t want to worry you but an eagle has just flown off with your wig. I think he thought he could line his nest with it, ?
