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.???

Ooh where am I. I went home in my pumpkin carriage last night with a handsome Prince but when I woke up this morning I was in a puddle covered in mud with a frog sitting on my nose ?

Callistemon Sat 10-Oct-20 15:52:29

I'm still stuck up that ?

My dress is torn, my backside full of prickles and my wig is askew. Goodness knows where my stilettos got to.
I didn't hear you go, I was too busy chatting to that nice sailor who climbed up the tree - by goodness he could shift. He's used to climbing the rigging.

Yo ho ho and a bottle of Pusser's rum!
Oh! I just woke him up. Hello, sailor ?
See you later folks.

The llamas were the ugly sisters last night and are refusing to take their costumes off -flowery dresses, long blonde wigs and false eyelashes. They look a bit sinister.
The genie that Laura let out was wandering round the Argy getting in the way. I said Iwished someone would clean up in here and he disappeared into a torch.

Just a thought for Arabian Nite Lemon?

I would love to see Doodle's dance of the seven veils. She lost some the last time she did it and now only has three veils.

I think that collapsed standard lamp in the corner is me, a very large nespresso please.

lemongrove Sat 10-Oct-20 09:18:46

Sadly no, I gave him some time off for filming and he did a runner.Just help yourself and leave the money on the bar.
We used to have an honesty box ( but somebody stole it.)

GrannyGravy13 Sat 10-Oct-20 09:14:22

Good morning, I could do with a nespresso (is George still chained to the machine? ☕️

A little confession.....I went home with Jack (aka The Captain)
We went back to the ship, had a couple of Sundowners and spent the night in the Officers Mess ( it really was a mess by that time! )I found my Puss costume this morning had a missing collar and bell....I remember ( through a glass, darkly)
That we had a bit of fun with the collar, I think I put it on the Captain at one point and rode him around the room shouting HI HO SILVER! Haha, such larks.

The state that poor old beanstalk is in too, bits hanging off it where Callistemon was swinging about last night like a monkey after a coconut.
All the bar staff slept on lilos in the cellar ( thoughtfully provided by moi) with the idea that they would wake up and clean up the place, well it hasn’t happened, I can hear them snoring from up here.?

lemongrove Sat 10-Oct-20 08:48:20

Coffee machine is on cafe anyone in need of a Nespresso?
It wouldn't be a good night in The Argy if there wasn’t a mess the morning after and to keep with the Panto Nite theme....
After the Lord Mayor’s show comes the s—-t cart!
There seems to be a collapsed standard lamp complete with shade in the corner....funny, I don’t remember that being there before.

Doodle shame about your carriage, hope it was insured.

LauraNorder Sat 10-Oct-20 02:47:59

What fun last night when we all piled in to the golden carriage for a lift home, just as well we hadn’t gone far when it morphed in to a pumpkin and we we’re left sitting in orange coloured mush looking like trumpettes at Halloween. Just as well there was enough poteen to see us through the night as we crawled back in to the Argy.
The Admiral keeps switching my hat on, I knew I should have taken the bulb out.

Callistemon Fri 09-Oct-20 23:16:39

Bring a tot or more

Callistemon Fri 09-Oct-20 23:15:57

The ship’s crew of HMS Stiffbarnacle are all here

Well, hello sailors - I'm up in the tree, want to join me?
I'm a nice girl so I love all the sailors.

Doodle Fri 09-Oct-20 22:25:04

lemon I think you’ve spent too much time with the llamas. Stop biting Achilles buns. Poor chap won’t be able to sit down.
I am Cinderella as you well know. That’s my beautiful carriage outside that’s there to take me home. I’ve given up on Prince Charming and just decided to party the night away with anyone I can lay my hands on. Right who’s first ?

LauraNorder Fri 09-Oct-20 21:02:15

Oh no it isn’t, oh yes it is, bits of broken lamp all over the place

LauraNorder Fri 09-Oct-20 20:55:25

Oh it’s the till ringing Lemon I thought it was your collar.
Everyone looks so wonderful, the Captain is drinking from a glass slipper and the genie has finally come out of the lamp, what a mess.

lemongrove Fri 09-Oct-20 20:21:08

The ship’s crew of HMS Stiffbarnacle are all here, dressed as the forty thieves.Led by the Admiral as Ali Baba .....who is going around the bar leering ‘open sesame’ at all the women.
He needs keeping an eye on.

lemongrove Fri 09-Oct-20 20:18:53

Doodle you have outshone yourself this week with your costume.....wot is it exactly?
A good crowd in tonight, the till has never stopped ringing.
Thor is drawing the ladies in dressed as Buttons with a cute little cap on his head, although some of his buttons appear to need doing up!

lemongrove Fri 09-Oct-20 20:14:44

GG13 dogs and cats usually end up having a scrap, but if you pour me some poteen from your barrel now and then, we can be the best of friends.
LauraNorder makes a great Aladdin with the lampshade hat, wonder what’s that old object she keeps rubbing?Is it Steamy Stan?
Callistemon even though she is blind drunk already, looks a treat in that white floaty dress ( a bit like a large cloud) her wings are wonky and the pink wig is askew though, but you can’t have everything.)

lemongrove Fri 09-Oct-20 20:07:53

Am just having a nibble on Achilles’ buns.....well, an interesting flavour and a rather chewy texture, but not bad overall, well done to him and AGA for trying anyway.
Look at The Admiral, very grand, he has come as Ali Baba if I’m not mistaken ( although I could be) and The Captain has set my heart aflutter dressed as Jack, those tights are really tight!

Callistemon Fri 09-Oct-20 20:06:19

Trying to get away from the top of the ?

Or was that Thor? shock

lemongrove Fri 09-Oct-20 20:00:32

Why is Callistemon clinging to the beanstalk? How did she get up there? Drunk again! And so early on..... what a lightweight (although not enough really, as the beanstalk is definitely sagging)?

Doodle Fri 09-Oct-20 19:59:24

lemon I don’t want to worry you but ....he is behind you ?

Doodle Fri 09-Oct-20 19:58:37

Laura good point I hadn’t thought of that. Hang on ???☄️??☄️⚡️? My Prince , my Prince come to me my ..........oh bu***r it’s the Admiral. What a let down ?

lemongrove Fri 09-Oct-20 19:56:01

Don’t we all look the bizz??
Cocktails all round, on the house, I’ll start off with a couple of
Babes In The Wood, and then a cheeky He’s Behind You to round them off.
You go girl with the karaoke! Woohoo! I’m up next ( doing a spirited rendition of My Dingaling) well, dressed as Puss I have a gold bell on my collar, you can hear me coming.....as the bishop said to the actress when he shouted Geronimo!
