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.

Just popping in to say - Behave! Isn't that a ridiculous word? I was forgetting where I am for a moment. Surely three strapping chaps behind that clutterd bar is a bit excessive. I've seen a couple some place before. Was it 'Play Boy' or somewhere shadier? Hard to tell through all the fag fug. Anyways...as I said...behave!

Half of Korky belongs to me, soop, as part payment for attending to the bogs ???. I'm not sure which half of him is mine, though, or whether it's a vertical or horizontal split. I think maybe Lemon only wants him for barwork so he'll fulfil his other contractual obligations in a location of my choosing. That will ease the congestion behind the bar.

Doodle Thu 21-May-20 15:34:33

Hmm lizzy and soop dividing up the barmen between them. This needs looking into ?

AGAA4 Thu 21-May-20 15:36:18

One of them is Orlando Bloom. Where did I put my specs......

Doodle Thu 21-May-20 15:46:48

aga are you sure? ? I must dash home and out on my best leopard skin leotard complete with tail. It’s sure to wow him ?

lizzypopbottle Thu 21-May-20 15:52:39

Doodle, my contract of employment is on page 5. It sets out my duties and remuneration so can't be reneged upon without legal action. Also, if anyone is considering a challenge, be aware that I have a black belt! (I have belts of other colours, too. I'm wearing a tan coloured, leather one today, so be warned!)

AGAA4 Thu 21-May-20 15:59:13

Doodle. I think he would be wowed by your leopard skin leotard but I saw him first (maybe) and he was entranced by my yellow marigolds and bottle of Pledge.

soop Thu 21-May-20 16:40:34

AGAA44 I knew that I had missed aomething off the shopping list. 'Pledge'...thanks so much. Believe it or not, I do polish on the rarest of occasions. Who is it I'm trying to impress? Do you know the answer?

AGAA4 Thu 21-May-20 17:09:45

Well I wouldn't bother with the Pledge soop. He has now gone off with Doodle so it doesn't work.

Doodle Thu 21-May-20 19:17:50

Heee hee my power of attraction still works ?

lemongrove Thu 21-May-20 21:52:08

Be careful people! lizzy may take off her belt if you offend her, and you know what that means! Yes......her jeans will fall down, not a pretty sight.??

Doodle Thu 21-May-20 22:38:57

lizzy please wear braces. We can’t have you exposing yourself in the Argy. Everyone knows that’s lemons job grin

lizzypopbottle Fri 22-May-20 11:23:10

lemon I take exception to your suggestion that if my jeans fall down it won't be a pretty sight! My directoire, knee-length knickers are constructed (I use this word advisedly, since they are reinforced) from industrial strength sprigged muslin and are a fetching shade of mustard yellow. Huh!

Doodle Fri 22-May-20 13:55:20

Oh lizzy they sound lovely ? not unlike my own. High grade industrial black leather with studs. lemon has wanted a pair like them for years. Once she catches sight of yours she’ll be after them too.
soop and old where are you. I’m hungry and there’s no food. Not even pork scratching ?

soop Fri 22-May-20 14:44:52

Doodle Sausage sandwiches being prepared with a generous helping of soggy fried onions. You girls need to be well nourished now that you've rumpy on the agenda.

AGAA4 Fri 22-May-20 15:16:32

If I eat any more sausages, soop I won't be able to get into my purple directoire knickers. And they are so attractive. The 3 behind the bar will swoon.

lizzypopbottle Fri 22-May-20 15:27:15

And it's amazing how many useful things we ladies can stash up the old knicker leg, certainly not just a hanky...

AGAA4 Fri 22-May-20 15:29:48

I carry my emergency gin in mine.

soop Fri 22-May-20 15:54:23

AGAA4 The colour purple is a symbol of royalty. Where in line to the throne are you? Do we need to bend a knee? Heck, if I do that, I shall be stuck in an ungamely position for the rest of the weekend.

AGAA4 Fri 22-May-20 16:00:06

I may be related to King Ethelred the Earnest so have to wear my purple knickers in case people don't realise my link to the throne.

Buffybee Fri 22-May-20 16:15:23

That’s not Orlando Bloom behind the bar.
It’s the non too bright but very handsome Aussie Surfer.
G’day Kev! When Doodle puts you down, I’ll have Half a Drambuie Shandy and a pickled egg....

AGAA4 Fri 22-May-20 16:20:30

Very handsome Aussie Surfer - He'll do!

Buffybee Fri 22-May-20 16:29:10

I’m afraid Kev can’t take his eyes off my Tiger Print backless top and leather hot pants, AGAA4.
We’ll have to share him!

AGAA4 Fri 22-May-20 16:33:14

I think my purple knee length knickers will interest him.

gransal Fri 22-May-20 16:43:25

mind if I join you. I was a part time proper upper of the bar in the old ARGY. I am sure I have seen KEV in a little known home movie. I recognise bits of him. Make mine a large anything.
