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.???

I will bring some fortune cookies that will tell you which of the handsome crew you will end the evening with.

lemongrove Fri 11-Sept-20 17:07:40

Thanks AGA ....am just rushing off to get some help, the karaoke machine is playing up again☹️Back soon!

Doodle Fri 11-Sept-20 17:32:42

AGA, Chewy it’s me Doodle. You probably don’t recognise me in my beautiful kimono. I have had my hair professionally done by Lychee who works in the Chinese Restaurant. She pinned it up with chopsticks. I think she did a good job and I doubt if anyone will notice the fried rice in my hair. ( the man hadn’t finished eating when we stole his chopsticks)
I am practicing my bow so I am ready to greet the honourable guests when they arrive. The appear lanterns look good.

Doodle Fri 11-Sept-20 17:36:08

By the way, I had a brilliant idea last night and I have made a Chinese Dragon costume for Gnasher. He looks fab. ? just hope there aren’t any bottoms on display tonight, ?

AGAA4 Fri 11-Sept-20 17:42:18

You look amazing Doodle and Gnasher loves dressing up. I will bow to you in my sumo wrestler's costume (nappy)

Doodle Fri 11-Sept-20 17:44:17

You look good too AGA. Just don’t stand with you back to Gnasher and be careful when you bow down ?

lemongrove Fri 11-Sept-20 19:52:20

Well! ( makes dramatic entrance down the Argy stairs) ta dah!
Whaddya think? Woo Flung Dung to the life eh? I like being a man (for the night anyway) am on high cork soled shoes which add 5 inches to my height, so must be a bit careful as I
Descend these....,whoa! Arrrrgh! Ouch!

lemongrove Fri 11-Sept-20 19:57:38

My hat and beard have fallen off now....not a good start to the evening.Will just limp over to the bar for a restorative poteen.
Anyhoo....the karaoke machine is now working ( Dodgy Den
From the tattoo parlour sorted it) so who’s up to do a song first? Doodle how about you and AGA and Chewy do
‘Three Little Maids From School’?
You all look fab by the way, but should you have chopsticks in your ears?

Doodle Fri 11-Sept-20 21:51:41

Trust you to make an entrance lemon. Still wearing the purple bloomers I see (well actually we all saw) . Grasper is eyeing you up. Take care.
Come on AGA ...where’s Chewy her kimono is lovely. Where is she hiding?
Oh well let’s do Two little maids for now ?

Doodle Fri 11-Sept-20 21:53:02

Grasper by the way is Gnasher’s cousin. He has similar tendencies to Gnasher but he grabs you from behind. ?

lemongrove Sat 12-Sept-20 08:08:41

Urrrrgh! Just woken up under a table?with no memory of last night at all.My mandarin moustache and sword are missing ( who stole them??) somebody spiked my poteen, as all I remember is limping across to the bar and my first pint.
I don’t care for Grasper at all, he is trotting round eating all the rice and peanuts scattered everywhere and he just gnashed his horrible teeth at me when I tried to shoo him out.

lemongrove Sat 12-Sept-20 08:14:09

Since we have all the costumes, I think we should reprise this special Nite again next week, so I’ll tell Thor to leave the Chinese lanterns as they are.
Gimme a large Nespresso ....cafe
Hope Doodle made it home safely ( bet she went off with Steamy Stan.)

Doodle Sat 12-Sept-20 13:40:57

Wouldn’t you like to know ?

AGAA4 Sat 12-Sept-20 14:58:38

The shelf Gloopy put up collapsed sending 10 bottles of gin into the vat of poteen. I asked him to put up a notice to tell everyone to only have a small glass but he was too busy flirting with Doodle so everyone was blotto after one pint.
Gnasher and Grasper got very drunk and ran into the street biting everyone out there on the bum until the police arrived. I had run after them and was arrested too. The three of us spent another a night in the cells. Oh the igmony! The two llamas were happy as it gave them more street cred.

Doodle Sat 12-Sept-20 17:44:54

Oh AGA I am so sorry. Those two llamas are a menace.
I thought the poteen was extra powerful. Actually I didn’t think much at all after drinking it. ?
Come and have a drink and relax. I’ll see if I can get a friendly zoo to take on Gnasher and Grasper before they cause aNy more damage.

AGAA4 Sun 13-Sept-20 15:34:16

The night in the cells interfered with my ability to spell - igmony? ignominy!
Doodle Most of the zoos have refused to take these llamas because of bad behaviour.
I am trying to make the poteen less potent. I hope nobody tells Lemon about the events on Friday night. She only employs staff with impeccable references and mine are definitely 'peccable' now.

Chewbacca Sun 13-Sept-20 15:35:34

Could we have a Roma theme this week lemon? I've changed the beds this week and have some sheets to use up.

Chewbacca Sun 13-Sept-20 15:40:17

ROMAN not Roma!

lemongrove Sun 13-Sept-20 16:34:18

I wondered about that ( thought we may have to buy a caravan pulled by the llamas.)
The answer is no I’m afraid.....we can have Roman Nite the week after though.I had no time to enjoy myself last Friday so want another go before we change it.
You could change costumes....you be Woo Flung Dung and I’ll be a geisha?

lemongrove Sun 13-Sept-20 16:37:56

We have had an amazing donation by an old regular ( Tattoo
Terence) £1,000 who has now retired to a bungalow in St Leonards but says he will never forget us! Ker Ching!
Any ideas what we should do with it? No boring suggestions please.

AGAA4 Sun 13-Sept-20 16:41:35

Roman Nite sounds good but I didn't get a chance to be a sumo wrestler.
I have diluted the poteen so it will not have such a dramatic effect.

Doodle Sun 13-Sept-20 20:24:57

So another Geisha night Friday and then Toga nite the following Friday. Ok by me.
Chewy who are you kidding that you changed the bed sheets ....since when ?
By the way p, where were you when we were supposed to be Three little maids? AGA and I had to go on and so it with just the two of us. Have you still got your Kimono?

AGAA4 Mon 14-Sept-20 15:08:58

Lemon as we will be having a Roman night what about a Roman Bath. We could all sit in there like vestal virgins in the warm scented water. Achilles and Thor are good at tiling and we could get those good for nothing llamas to carry in the warm water.
I know vestal virgins is a big stretch of the imagination. Doodle could keep the sacred fire burning to keep the gods happy.
