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.???

Well, I'm being a bit more careful about what I eat, those prison rations left a let to be desired, so as long as it's organic, I'll give it a nibble.

Purplepixie all are welcome. Would you like to do a turn on the karaoke. We are waiting for someone to have a go at I fought the law and the law won.
Herbal cakes .....you mean those sort of herbal cakes...yes please. ?
Callistemon what are you doing with that poor llama. You’re facing the wrong way.

Doodle Fri 23-Oct-20 22:40:55

Phoenix I’m pretty sure it’s organic. Soop only grows the best. Lisagran would you like one or are you still busy helping the firemen polish their pole? ?

"I fought GNHQ, and unfortunately they (temporarily) won"

However, I am phoenix maximus, owner of 2 cats, wife of Mr P, and I will have my vengeance in this forum or the next.

(Extra shots to the first person who names the film I'm parodying!)

Doodle Fri 23-Oct-20 22:55:41

Gladiator?
Puss in Boots?
The History of Mr P?
Cat woman?

phoenix Fri 23-Oct-20 23:08:57

Now, Doodle you're just being silly!

(Erm, yes, Gladiator)

Har har Phoenix?
Am legless....the Admiral is taking me off somewhere for an intimate supper ( a sausage roll in his hammock?) so will bid you all goodnite! Stay and help yourselves from the bar and last one out lock up. The llamas like to bed down here in the bar ( they hoover up all the bits of food on the carpet) and Thor, Achilles and Gloopy will escort you all home ( for a small fee).?

Callistemon Fri 23-Oct-20 23:14:12

My sailor said he's an Admiral
Or was that Admirable?

Doodle Fri 23-Oct-20 23:15:59

Sausage roll in his hammock! Is that what they’re calling it these days. ?
I may sleep here tonight. I think Lisa is still down the tunnel
So a couple of shots for me and another for you Phoenix .
It was a good night. Sigh...... I might put a video on.. I think there’s a copy of Alcatraz somewhere. ?

Doodle Fri 23-Oct-20 23:19:25

Don’t think it could be the Admiral Callistemon as he’s gone off to feed his sausage to lemon and have a roll in his hammock ....or some combination there of...
Perhaps your chap is admirable Callistemon. His name’s not Crichton by any chance?

phoenix Fri 23-Oct-20 23:21:20

Oh go on then, Doodle, just a small one, as the girl said to the sailor, then I'm off to bed, but don't tell Mr P.

Callistemon Fri 23-Oct-20 23:22:50

My sailor's promised to take me to find the golden rivet. I'm so excited! ?

Doodle Fri 23-Oct-20 23:23:13

Why...who are you going to bed with ??

Doodle Fri 23-Oct-20 23:25:21

Wouldn’t be in his cabin by any chance, would it Callistemon?

phoenix Fri 23-Oct-20 23:28:16

Wouldn't you like to know!wink

Night all!

lemongrove Sat 24-Oct-20 10:25:08

Cor blimey! Look at the state of things in ‘ere!
However, am not in a good state myself after last night, so shall just fire up the nespresso machine and collapse into a comfy chair until the scrubbers arrive.
Now....you’ll be wanting to hear about my intimate supper with the Admiral after the party here.It didn’t go the way he or I had planned, we staggered down to the docks and prepared to board HMS Stiffbarnacle, when all, of a sudden,
A small band of young roughs hove into view, as drunk as skunks, calling out ribald remarks to me and surrounding us.
In the ensuing scuffle they knocked off the Admiral’s hat and threw him into the dock! I didn't hang about, pausing only to take off my shoes I hightailed it back to the bar.....which was locked up by then ( probably by Phoenix who had pocketed the key).Am nothing if not resourceful though, so padded off to the all night Chinese laundry where Steamy Stan let me in,
And after his sympathy and a bowl of noodles, I allowed him to have his wicked way with me on a pile of old shirts.

Callistemon Sat 24-Oct-20 11:11:46

All those goings on!!
We still haven't found the golden rivet but it's a very interesting journey
wink

Doodle Sat 24-Oct-20 14:02:13

Wow lemon does that mean we now have our laundry done as part of services rendered. ?

Doodle Sat 24-Oct-20 14:02:54

Callistemon I bet you had fun looking ?

lemongrove Sat 24-Oct-20 14:10:29

It’s a perk of being an Argy worker Doodle one of the many perks, which is why I don’t pay you much ( or at all)?

MawB2 Sat 24-Oct-20 14:19:28

In the ensuing scuffle they knocked off the Admiral’s hat and threw him into the dock!

I hope it wasn’t a bobble hat, I’d hate to think of Naval bobbles floating about in the dock!

Callistemon Sat 24-Oct-20 14:24:24

I bet you had fun looking
You wouldn't believe some of the possible hiding places, Doodle

Bell bottoms for one!
The bottoms of bells are not at all what I thought they were ?

lemongrove Sat 24-Oct-20 14:25:09

It was a bobble hat Maw in navy blue with a huge bobble as befits his rank!
You will be glad to know that he was no worse for the dunking
In fact, it sobered him up.One of the crew fished him out and another bravely dived in to rescue the hat.?

AGAA4 Sat 24-Oct-20 16:12:14

That saved me hosing him down as usual on a Saturday.

After a night with Steamy Stan Lemon will probably need a hose down. No not those hose Lemon. Pull them up.

There were 2 dogs in here when I came round woke up earlier. They were starving so I gave them some of my special stew. The last I saw of them they were staggering down Pigstrotter Alley groaning.

lemongrove Sat 24-Oct-20 21:36:27

Was one a greyhound?I hope they didn’t have fleas! They belong to a couple of disreputable hussies who pop in here from time to time.
Now we are expected to feed their mutts free of charge, what a liberty.
