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.???

Yes Doodle it is a Hawaiian guitar even though I bought it in Chipping Sodbury or was it Chipping Sudbury or is that where I had a frothy coffee, whatever.

Well this is going to be poteen AGA style. You have been warned. It will blow your socks off and as for those flimsy grass skirts......just make sure you are wearing your knee length knickers.
The Admiral and the Captain have had enough excitement recently.

Peardrop50 Sun 16-Aug-20 21:15:39

The Captain has just told me we are going to honour Lulu. Who the heck is Lulu?

lemongrove Sun 16-Aug-20 22:14:15

Weeeeeelllll, yer know yer make me wanna SHOUT!
You know, the tiny red haired one ( no, not Marydoll)
Callistemon is badgering me to sing, so I need to wet my whistle, line ‘em up AGA please, singing is thirsty work.
Shall we go to honour lulu on one of those war canoes they show at the start of Hawaii Five O, we can all paddle like mad and then Lins can yell ‘Book him Danno’ .....what an entrance eh?

lemongrove Sun 16-Aug-20 22:14:45

I may dress as a palm tree.

Peardrop50 Sun 16-Aug-20 22:19:43

A palm tree heh Lemon, just make sure you keep tight hold of your coconuts.

lemongrove Sun 16-Aug-20 22:23:37

Am I willowy enough to carry it off??

Peardrop50 Sun 16-Aug-20 22:29:51

Thought you were coming as a palm tree not a willow, make your mind up.

Peardrop50 Sun 16-Aug-20 22:34:12

Just humming a Springfield number Dusty not something from Homer's home town.
Island of Dreams, can I do that one at karaoke on Friday please Lemon.
I've got some pineapple chunks for Lins to put on sticks with carbolic soap pieces.

lemongrove Mon 17-Aug-20 07:51:01

I could be a willowy palm tree ? and bang my coconuts together as I walk in?
Yes, good choice for the karaoke.....practise it first though, we don’t want your own rude version either ( well, to be fair, some might!)
Will you be wearing an Hawaiian maiden’s outfit Doodle you could wear your flowery bikini ( and wouldn't that be a treat for us all)?You had better make an extra large lei to cover your attractions up a bit.

lemongrove Mon 17-Aug-20 07:52:24

Is it too early for a pina colada???

Lins1066 Mon 17-Aug-20 09:01:16

My potato skins are drying out nicely for Hawaiian Night. Thanks for the pineapple chunks Peardrop, will the carbolic pieces be colourful enough do you think? I will try dying them in beetroot or blackberry juice.
It is never too early for a pina colada lemon. No tinsel in the loft but I found some red magenta, that will have to do for my Hawaiian skirt.

Doodle Mon 17-Aug-20 12:10:25

Oh yes lemon please come as a willowy palm tree that will be perfect (perhaps that bl**dy llama will use you to pee against and leave me and the Admiral alone ?)
I am wearing a couple of coconuts as a bra lemon I will indeed have a lei but I’m not mentioning it at the moment due to what happened to peardrop ?
AGA I’ve brought some potatoes for the poteen. Well to be more precise I brought 5 kilos of chips which I brought back from Chipping Sodbury in the wheelbarrow.
This poteen better be good. Ooh pineapple on sticks I love that I will just try one. Who’s that singing Island of dreams. Oh it’s you peardrop very good.
?????. I think I’ve got rabies....I’m foaming at the mouth. My goodness someone save me I’ve got bubbles coming out of my nose .....help

Peardrop50 Mon 17-Aug-20 14:18:08

Quickly Doodle lean in to the old wine drip tray and blow out those bubbles, we could re bottle it as champers.
AGA the fat on the chips will add a bit of body to the poteen, no offence Lemon but the poteen has had a willowy body for too long.
Is Lins out looking for that bl**dy llama.
Have Thor and Kev formed a foursome with Chewy and MawB? They've been gone a while.
Callistemon is still swinging from that palm tree trying to split a coconut.

Peardrop50 Mon 17-Aug-20 14:23:20

Hope your back is better Puzzler, too much twisting gets you tied in knots. Come back soon.

AGAA4 Mon 17-Aug-20 14:40:46

I have brewed 3 vats of poteen with the chips. Looks a bit greasy on the top but nobody will notice.
There will also be some exotic fruits. My mangoes look a bit dry so will water them later.
Doodle's papayas are looking good. The llama and the Admiral are eyeing them up greedily waiting to take a big bite.
Kev is ripening his figs on the windowsill and Thor's pineapple is a sight to behold!

Peardrop50 Mon 17-Aug-20 15:47:31

AGA, I'm having the same problem with my melons.

AGAA4 Mon 17-Aug-20 16:27:25

Peardrop watch out for that llama. He is licking his lips.

Doodle Mon 17-Aug-20 19:17:45

AGA my papayas have always been admired.
Please will someone warn Kev and Thor that if they insist in putting their fruits on display like that then don’t be surprised if that llama eats them..
Sounds like the poteen will be a good batch this time ?

AGAA4 Tue 18-Aug-20 15:39:14

Yes Doodle it will be good not like the watered down version Lemon makes.
Kev is on the warpath. Someone has eaten all the figs. He was warned about leaving them on the window sill. He was going to sell them to supplement his wages as he is only paid buttons. Literally.

Doodle Tue 18-Aug-20 17:40:38

Did you say figs AGA. I haven’t seen them blush ?

Lins1066 Wed 19-Aug-20 00:19:36

The figs haven't been eaten, Marydoll's taken them to make fig jam. I'm covered in beetroot juice after dying those b....y soap pieces, some sprayed on the llama. He'll look quite colourful for Friday night.
Your papayas are looking good Doodle but did you know that one is bigger than the other?
Is it time to sample the beefed up poteen yet Aga?

Doodle Wed 19-Aug-20 15:24:28

lins I’m having trouble equalising my magnificent papayas as the pump I’m using has a leaky valve. ?
That llama is not coming Friday night but if it is I’m locking it in the cellar. With Hawaiian night there will be too many opportunities for posterior biting. ?

AGAA4 Wed 19-Aug-20 16:16:10

Linsthe beefed up poteen is only for the brave. Doodle the llama can escape from anywhere so he will be there but he seems to have taken a shine to the Admiral so you may be safe but I don't know about those magnificent papayas........

lemongrove Wed 19-Aug-20 16:26:49

That pina colada inspired me to poetry.....ahem ( clears throat
Loudly)
Doodle who comes from Devizes,
Had papayas of differing sizes,
One was small ( hardly nothing at all)
The other was big and won prizes!
