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.???

Can I do Sweet Caroline next ?

Sweet Caroline music ?
Da da da! ?
Good times never seemed so good ?

Puzzler61 Fri 14-Aug-20 20:19:43

Looks like Bob’s having a fight in the corner.
I don’t believe it, ?
Someone’s let that llama in again
and it’s pulled Bob’s Afghan coat straight off his back.
They’re doing a push-me , pull-you with it !!

lemon put those cherries and olives back right now, Doodle's peckish and neither of us can get out (hic) of this bucket of babycham as there's a ruddy great bambi in here with us

Puzzler61 Fri 14-Aug-20 20:21:04

Sweet Caroline !
Join in the chorus, drown out that shrieking llama !

Why are we going to Woodstock tomorrow Peardrop are we visiting Blenheim Palace? I do know the Duke y’know, he and Lord Lemongrove were fags at Eton.

lemongrove Fri 14-Aug-20 20:27:48

Emergency! We are running out of poteen, and no time to brew any more.....run to the off licence somebody quick!

Lins1066 Fri 14-Aug-20 20:28:41

It's alright everyone the llama and bambi seem to be getting on rather well, time to get outa here*Doodle*.

Peardrop50 Fri 14-Aug-20 20:32:01

Lins don't panic, the llama has been nibbling my dandelions all night, he's just topped up the poteen.

Peardrop50 Fri 14-Aug-20 20:33:36

Music Festival at Woodstock Lemon it's 1969 tomorrow. Need more than a few spliffs if we're going to fly across the Atlantic.

I’m floating, back in the 60’s,
Peace and Love,
No COVID-19,
No Donald Trump,
No Twitter,

Oh I wish I was back in that era.

“Those were the days my friend
I thought they’d never end,
We’d sing and dance,
Forever and a day. ? ? “

Puzzler61 Fri 14-Aug-20 21:15:49

I ‘m going to dance barefoot in the grass out back, and bang my tambourine .......

Lins1066 Fri 14-Aug-20 21:26:44

We'd live the life we choose,
We thought we'd never lose,
Those were the days,
Oh yes those were the days ?

I'm off to say nightie night to the gang down in the cellar, hope they've saved me a joint or two.
Hope Gorgeous George has ? saved the last dance for me?

lemongrove Fri 14-Aug-20 21:32:57

Puzzler the only grass round here is in your spliff, and if you go out back there will certainly be things banged, as the Captain and the able seamen are hanging out there at the moment, drunk as usual.Still....your choice.

Oh that Woodstock Peardrop ( in your dreams!) put that jug of hippy hippy shake cocktail down and come back to planet earth....you are not 20 you are 82 so behave.Like wot I do?

Chewbacca Fri 14-Aug-20 21:33:02

Here you are! I've brought you a pub warming present of a moonshine still. Thought it might save you a bob or two what with the rent having gone up not that you'll pay it anyway. Apologies for the state of my dungarees but that dolly tub was damned heavy to lug all the way across town.

Puzzler61 Fri 14-Aug-20 21:38:48

Thanks Chewy.
Did you only bring the one?
We’ve got a big following for that - do you think you could shimmy back and bring another?

lemongrove Fri 14-Aug-20 21:40:14

Eeeek! Lins has gone into the cellar ( not a wise move).

I’m up next with the karaoke, so here I go with ‘Sunny Afternoon’ the lyrics remind me of my early life with Lord Lemongrove, ‘and I love to live so pleasantly, live this life of luxury, lazing on a sunny afternoon......in the Summertime’??

Doodle Fri 14-Aug-20 21:43:59

Oh chewy what a fantastic idea. We’ll hide it in the cellar so no one knows it’s there. Come and join the flower power party. All we need to do is stick some of these big flowers on your dungarees and you will look just the part,
I’m trying to keep out of the way. That bl**dy llamas here again. Fortunately she’s caught sight of a naked Admiral and decided his buttocks are more succulent than mine ?
puzzler if you’re going to bang your tambourine outside pleas don’t let that policeman catch you. We don’t want them thinking this is a house of ill repute (even if it is ?)

Puzzler61 Fri 14-Aug-20 21:54:59

Well done lemon,
I’m feeling mellow now and my voice is in fine fettle
(Well I think it is)
I’d like to sing that Mama’s & Papa’s song
“ While I’m far away from you my baby,
I know it’s hard for you my baby.. ..? “

lemongrove Fri 14-Aug-20 21:55:27

That policeman ( Officer O’Leery) is one of our regulars, there’ll be no trouble from him!
Have you forgotten gorgeous George already Puzzler he won’t be happy, you and he had a fling only a week ago.
Thanks Chewy for the still, I usually brew up the poteen by means of a bucket system and have always wanted to go high tech.??

Puzzler61 Fri 14-Aug-20 21:57:58

Oh George.... he was (un) forgettable. ?

lemongrove Fri 14-Aug-20 21:59:25

You may like to sing it Puzzler but would anyone like to listen to it? It’s kinda depressing.
Tell you what, have a go at ‘Paddy McGinty’s Goat’ ....
Much more cheerful.?

Chewbacca Fri 14-Aug-20 22:01:17

Have you told the punters of the other uses for that bucket Lemon? I don't think they'd be too worried about a virus if they knew the history of that bucket!

lemongrove Fri 14-Aug-20 22:02:12

By the way Chewy great costume but it’s not Hillbilly Nite this week it’s Hippy Nite.The beard suits you though.

Puzzler61 Fri 14-Aug-20 22:03:48

Mrs Burke to her daughter said “listen Mary Jane
Who was that lad you were cuddling in the lane?
He had long wiry whiskers a’hangin from his chin”
‘Twas only Paddy McGinty’s goat”
She answered with a grin ?

Puzzler61 Fri 14-Aug-20 22:04:24

Any more requests ? ?
