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 knew his brother once...Mynis Tinyous...what a disappointing night that was!

Lemon Gladious Toseeuous is very sexy but I am meeting up with his cousin Mynis Humoungous. ?

Doodle Fri 25-Sept-20 21:04:32

No lemon they’re mine and you’re standing on them. Ouch ?. Might have known Chewy would be where the action is.
I think George has got the acting bug. He’s down in the cellar standing on a beer keg and spouting about Friends, Romans and Countrymen.... mind you I think he’s gone deaf because he wants to borrow someone’s ears.?

Why is Steamy Stan tottering around the bar shouting ‘infamy, infamy, they’ve all got it in for me’!

lemongrove Fri 25-Sept-20 20:59:00

Somebody get me a poteen and send for Gladious Toseeuous the sexiest gladiator in town?

lemongrove Fri 25-Sept-20 20:55:36

Now the second one has vanished! Wot’s going on? Am I drunk? Are these my feet?

lemongrove Fri 25-Sept-20 20:54:14

That message was so good that GN posted it twice!
Never happened before?

lemongrove Fri 25-Sept-20 20:53:12

Are you legless again MawB ??? it isn’t even 9pm as yet.
We observe rules here y’know ( our own rules that is) so the doors will be locked at 10, and the celebrations go on in the cellar.
Choose your legionary, since you’re here and find a comfy couch.?

lemongrove Fri 25-Sept-20 20:49:28

You must be joking, she’s a big lass ( never fit in there!) I expect she’s under the table with the others.....they seem to be having a private party.
Ah yes! Rogerus Senseilus, what a character? he’s welcome here anytime.

Callistemon Fri 25-Sept-20 20:44:44

Just drink it all, Chewie
You'd be surprised how much lighter it will feel

Doodle Fri 25-Sept-20 20:40:19

Chewy I’ve made you a hot drink......Chewy where are you....oh no, I think Chewy’s fallen in. Come and help everyone Chewy’s been potted ?

Chewbacca Fri 25-Sept-20 20:28:57

I can't stand outside with this on my shoulder for much longer. It's bloody freezing out there, especially when you're dressed in nothing more than a sheet and a bunch of leaves. Put kettle on Doodle!

Callistemon Fri 25-Sept-20 20:05:17

'Ang on, is that me you're calling Odois Scrubba? Or that other woman?

The Gladiator, Maximus Decimus Meridius, calls me pulcherrima. ?

Doodle Fri 25-Sept-20 19:58:46

Ah I’ve met Odius Scrubba before with her cousin Slackus Allisus and their male companion the centurion Rogerus Senseilus. ?

Doodle Fri 25-Sept-20 19:54:29

Cor lemon, chewy’s got her amphora on her shoulder.....how’d she manage that. Is she some kind of contortionist? No wonder she’s getting some strange looks.
Laura that outfit of yours is completely see through, just make sure the llamas don’t get behind you. ?

Callistemon Fri 25-Sept-20 19:51:17

It probably was a house mouse, not a dormouse.

Very tasty if cooked by Marcus Gavius Apicius

LauraNorder Fri 25-Sept-20 19:50:34

Oh Doodle only you could come out of a prison with strange Fingers under the sheet. You're worse than that woman in the red shoes and basque, Odius Scrubba, we should keep an eye on her, trying to undercut our rates.

Doodle Fri 25-Sept-20 19:49:12

Callistemon you may well be looking after the Gladiator but he seems to be shouting something like get off me mad woman. ?

LauraNorder Fri 25-Sept-20 19:46:32

Oh dear Callistemon, has Poteenus Bilius been at it again. Keep hold of the mop as the llamas will probably be regurgitating Lemon's mice any minute.

Doodle Fri 25-Sept-20 19:44:53

Sorry I’m late. I got the end of my toga stuck in the taxi and it drove off taking my toga with it. I got arrested for indecent exposure but the guards took pity on me and have lent me one of the prison sheets to wrap round me. By the way, this is Fingers Capone, he came out from under the sheet when we got out of the prison ?

Callistemon Fri 25-Sept-20 19:40:18

I'm under the table because I'm cleaning the floor. Again.

The Gladiator is under the table because he's had one too many mulsum, I'm looking after him.

LauraNorder Fri 25-Sept-20 19:34:39

Callistemon I was going to suggest a Negroni Sbagliato but as you're already under the table..............
Maw I see what you did there, have a tequilla slammer, see what I did there

Callistemon Fri 25-Sept-20 19:28:17

I'm under a table with The Gladiator.

Callistemon Fri 25-Sept-20 19:27:02

Roman Coke sounds very interesting

Am I allowed one as I'm just the skivvy?

MawB2 Fri 25-Sept-20 19:26:58

Not a Marshall! Just don’t want to see the Argy behind bars (see what I did there?) gringrin
