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.???

AGA do straighten out that wimple! Do we have three full vats of poteen ready yet?
Are your jugs of cream on standby Doodle? Please come as
A Bakewell tart, it will please our Derbyshire clientele.
Chewbacca I know you will come as a tart ( just wear your everyday clobber.)

lemongrove Fri 28-Aug-20 12:28:01

With the ship’s company arriving as vicars, I have noticed we’re running dangerously low on hymnbooks?
Welcome Laura we won’t hold your cop shop past against you ( indeed, you may come in very useful)?

NO CHANCE DOODLE (bellows in a Brian Blessed way)
With a name like that, he would be welcome here tonight though.?

LauraNorder Thu 27-Aug-20 22:23:19

Doodle I wouldn't dare to arrest you, as arresting as the barmen clearly find you.
Just wondering if I should dig out Peardrop's Aiya Napa outfit to come as tart tomorrow or come as a nun, that would save washing my hair.
AGA I shall turn a blind eye to your soliciting for potatoes as it's in a good cause, no potatoes no poteen.

Chewbacca Thu 27-Aug-20 22:14:58

chewy can’t you adopt lemon into your order. That’d keep her quiet for a bit.

Nods enthusiastically.

Talking of order, hello LauraNorder you’ve not come to arrest us have you. ?‍♀️
I’m still coming as a tart but not saying what flavour till tomorrow ?

LauraNorder Thu 27-Aug-20 21:08:23

ello, ello, ello, I only came in to arrest that drunken lush Peardrop and now she is safely incarcerated for the duration I'll help myself to her share of the poteen.
Anyone got a spare dog collar for tomorrow?
Good to see you all again.

Chewbacca Thu 27-Aug-20 21:02:02

<<whispers quietly>> I can't say anything Lemon; I've taken a vow of silence in readiness for my appearance as a nun on Friday. Peace be with you my child.

Achilles says he will be holding confessions down in the cellar, so take a kneeling pad and and a large voddy.
Interesting! What can I confess to??Watering the poteen?

lemongrove Thu 27-Aug-20 18:20:56

Oh, and they will all be vicars! Alleluia! Men of the cloth make me go weak all over.?

lemongrove Thu 27-Aug-20 18:19:10

Had a telegram from the Admiral ( he doesn’t do texts) announcing that he and the Captain and their full ship’s company will be converging on The Argy at 19.00 hours and want permission to come aboard.

lemongrove Thu 27-Aug-20 18:17:02

Did you miss me? I have been hard at work organising things for our tars/vicars/nuns nite.
Have ordered all the drinks ( plus a crate of Irn Bru in case marydoll drops in.) Not that she needs it, she can bend steel girders after a plateful of tatties.
I like being a nun, have been practising for days?looking holy.I have even perfected a ‘glide’.....if you went to a convent school you will know what I mean, they sort of glide about as if on hidden casters ( and then pounce!)

lemongrove Thu 27-Aug-20 18:11:14

Two shillings and a knee trembler AGA.....that’s my girl!?

Doodle Thu 27-Aug-20 18:09:25

I think we’d better hose you down with disinfectant before you make the poteen AGA . You never know where Legover Larry has been ?

AGAA4 Thu 27-Aug-20 16:53:02

Doodle Legover Larry was the only one who would sell 50lbs of potatoes for 2 shillings. blush

Doodle Wed 26-Aug-20 20:08:07

That’s what happens when you allow the Admiral to take liberties AGA ?. You didn’t get your potatoes from Fast Fritz’s cousin Legover Larry did you ?

AGAA4 Tue 25-Aug-20 15:46:30

Special poteen brewing nicely. Lemon only gave me two shillings to get 50lbs of potatoes. It was shocking what I had to do to get them.
I may come as a nun as I already have the outfit. My wimple looks a bit crushed though.

Chewbacca Mon 24-Aug-20 22:43:24

My jugs are full of cream gringrin can't keep my face straight reading that

Doodle Mon 24-Aug-20 22:38:24

My jugs are full of cream lemon. ?
Well chewy I could be tart at the top and pudding at the bottom. A real tarty piece ?

Chewbacca Mon 24-Aug-20 22:29:22

There's a lot of controversy regarding what constitutes a Bakewell Tart Doodle. More arguments in Bakewell about whether it's a Bakewell Tart or a Bakewell Pudding than you'd believe possible! Best do half and half to be on the safe side. We don't want any trouble.

lemongrove Mon 24-Aug-20 22:22:17

Most acceptable Doodle particularly if you carry a jug of cream.

Doodle Mon 24-Aug-20 22:21:18

Hmm I think I’ll come as a Bakewell Tart. Would that be ok do you think?

Chewbacca Mon 24-Aug-20 22:17:23

it’s time to put my dirty habits behind me

There'll be quite a pile then Lemon! grin

lemongrove Mon 24-Aug-20 21:58:05

I shall come to the party dressed as a nun....it’s time to put my dirty habits behind me?

lemongrove Mon 24-Aug-20 21:57:00

Hahaha.....so it was you last time then! Well bless my little cotton socks ...I hadn’t realised that ( probably all the voddy).
Anyhoo....a good idea again Chewy so it will be a vicars and tarts and nuns nite on Friday.?
No doubt the Admiral will come as a de -frocked vicar ( just wearing a shirt with long tails!)
