Had to pay the landlord an extra fiver a week, but he has extended our lease, phew! Safe again for a while for all Argy Bargies wanting a sit down and a pint of something, whilst getting things off their chests.???

We could have a llama race - do we ride them or let them go like the clappers on their own?

Here's mine- he may look a bit gormless but he's very speedy. I call him Gonzales.

lemongrove Tue 20-Oct-20 19:48:31

Great idea!
A Within These Walls Nite.....or rather a breaking out Nite.
Think...Porridge perhaps?Will leave it in your capable hands.
I shall source some prison jumpsuits.

Doodle Tue 20-Oct-20 19:45:14

lemon are we going to have a special theme night for Friday to celebrate the release of the Doghouse 4?

We could all come dressed up as prisoners and then organise a
breakout. George could be in the cellar will a ball acting (!) the part of Steve McQueen in the Great Escape. lins chewy and I could dig the escape tunnel (chewy would be good at that. She’s used to shovelling s**t in the sewage works.
AGA you could bake cakes with files in. Any other ideas?

‘Ere! What’s all this then...mutiny in the ranks?You’ll get paid when you’ve scrubbed the decks properly, it’s a pigsty in here.
Leave you alone for a few days and this is what happens.
I think I must have eaten a bad whelk or two last Friday, as have been bilious ever since.?
You will have to organise our theme nite amongst yourselves this week, send me a telegram about it and I shall see if I can get a costume in time.Meanwhile I have to retire to my boudoir for a lie down.
Get cracking then!

Five shillings a month ? five !!! lemons only been paying me a penny farthing. I’ve been robbed. ?

Doodle Mon 19-Oct-20 21:41:31

Callistemon you’d better be careful. We’ve got four llamas now. Try slipping them a drop of poteen and they’ll forget about the floor mop bit. ?

AGAA4 Mon 19-Oct-20 16:40:45

Just be careful of your posterior. Llamas love to bite.

Callistemon Mon 19-Oct-20 16:32:48

Oh, oh, no! I thought I used the llamas as floor mops! No wonder that one spat at me then tried to kick me!!

AGAA4 Mon 19-Oct-20 15:45:44

Callistemon be very careful while scrubbing with llamas about and make sure Lemon pays you. Most of us haven't been paid for weeks and I'm missing my five shillings a month.

Doodle Sun 18-Oct-20 20:23:02

Oiled, oiled ? I wrote would .

Doodle Sun 18-Oct-20 20:10:03

Callistemon I oiled not assume that position with the llamas about. They have a fondness for a nice juicy behind. ?
phoenix nice to see you in the Argy. Is it your round? ?

AGAA4 Sun 18-Oct-20 15:26:34

Doodle Gnasher is a menace with his bottom biting. Sorry you got hurt. Hope the nurses have bandaged you in the appropriate places and you are back in the Argy soon. I will prepare a special medicinal poteen for you.

Callistemon Sat 17-Oct-20 23:23:26

Get well soon, Doodle
Don't worry about the cleaning up, I was only allowed to be Fairy Godmother for a short while. I'm back to being Cinders the scrubber again now, on my hands and knees.
They promised me some leftovers when I've finished.

LauraNorder Sat 17-Oct-20 21:52:42

Phoenix I have seen some appropriately shaped ice cubes that may be just the thing, not that I’ve been to any inappropriate parties you understand.

phoenix Sat 17-Oct-20 19:57:40

Would an ice cube neutralise the effect of the ginger? Just wondering.............

Although the shape could present problemsshock

LauraNorder Sat 17-Oct-20 19:52:44

Oh dear Doodle, get well soon.
If they pump your stomach make sure the poteen is returned to the Argy cellar or Lemon will be cross at the waste.

Doodle Sat 17-Oct-20 19:48:13

Sorry not to be with you all. I was practicing the race with Gnasher when he spotted a bottom and shot off at speed . I fell off and have been in ospital ever since. Be back to clean up Monday maybe. Have a good night all.

LauraNorder Sat 17-Oct-20 17:20:00

Thankth AGA Thor ith tho good at mathaging thorneth

AGAA4 Sat 17-Oct-20 16:39:06

Laura we have looked for ages to find Lemon's *stash but I thing she has it in a safe at *Lemongrove Hall.
I will bring some poteen for you and ask Thor to rub you down with llama liniment.

LauraNorder Sat 17-Oct-20 16:29:45

Groan, I agree AGA I think the girl llama won as she was trying to escape from the frisky boys.
A chaser of poteen, hair of the dog or llama, would be gratefully accepted if you’re offering.
I wonder where Lemon has stashed the cash. A bit of detective work required methinks

AGAA4 Sat 17-Oct-20 15:23:46

I saw Lemon staggering to a cart (pulled by 2 llamas) with 3 bin bags full of cash. The camel race night went well. I have no idea who won as Grasper threw me into a muddy puddle just past the winning line.
I think it may have been the girl llama as she was the only one who was sober.
There is no sign of the other 3 riders but I can hear groaning coming from somewhere. I will check if they need some restorative poteen or linament.

lemongrove Fri 16-Oct-20 22:03:55

Whohoo! There they go!
What a noble sight......four large ladies clinging on for dear life as the llamas go hell for leather down the cobbled alley leading to the docks, I know who my money is on, haha.

lemongrove Fri 16-Oct-20 21:27:01

Will somebody get those llamas saddled up for the race and try and keep Doodle and AGA sober ( or at least able to cling on) I have big money on this little sporting event.

lemongrove Fri 16-Oct-20 21:25:00

Well not exactly, but I did mention that I was hot stuff??

LauraNorder Fri 16-Oct-20 20:56:54

Two firemen Lemon, hope you warned them about the ginger, ouch.
