Well, fellow Argy Bargers, after some hard bargaining with
Moneybags Mike our landlord, I have managed to secure another short term lease.The scoundrel wanted ten pounds a month, but I showed him my maroon bloomers and he reduced it to seven pounds.Result!?

A saucy outfit, Doodle? Oh, do you think so? It’s just some old thing I wear to take the dog for a walk. It’s funny, when I wear it, I always have lots of folks - well, men really -walking with me.....

Pull the other one Lisa it’s got bells on!?
Speaking of bells, shall we use the naval bell system for our work rota today, to get us all in the mood, and what about bell bottomed trousers as well?
I want the woodwork to sparkle by this evening so put your backs into it you lazy landlubbers.

While I’m here ...I’ll sample a few Kiss Me Hardy cocktails,Mmmmm??????just the job.???

GrannyGravy13 Fri 13-Nov-20 12:39:32

George and I have started on the grog early, all the nice girls love a sailor...........???

ixion Fri 13-Nov-20 13:20:54

In that case, I shall wear my loons
All very nautical, but there's no way mine will be used to swab the decks (or the toilets, thanks all the same).
Should I wear the crushed velvet ones or the ones with the Indian embroidery up to the knee?
And what eau do you suggest I dab behind the ears (or on my pressure points), please, for maximum effect? What does GC like, GG?

GG sing 'all the nice girls love a sailor' as loud as you can. We want then to feel at home but there are too many 'nice girls' round here.

Lemon I am not letting George out of the cellar till all the poteen (with coffee) is brewed. He has seen Lisagran and is chomping on the bit. May have to loosen it.

lemongrove Fri 13-Nov-20 18:17:50

Just realised it’s Friday 13th .....? hope nothing goes wrong
You know how superstitious we all are, especially the ship’s crew.
Keep George on a short leash, he’ll certainly be champing at the bit ( or chomping on the bit)?when he gets an eyeful of me! I have come as a WREN including black stockings and ‘oh Matron’ black polished shoes.

Thor is resplendent in a seamans jumper ( no idea where he got that) bell bottom trousers ( very tight!) and a sailor’s hat worn at a jaunty angle.
Achilles and Gloopy have done their best but are wearing their costumes from Pirate Nite, including gold hoop earrings and a parrot on the shoulder.?

GrannyGravy13 Fri 13-Nov-20 18:40:34

If you want to meet my George please form an orderly queue, if that’s possible with the reappearance of the Llamas, there seems to be a lot of wind........has the Admiral woken up??

Doodle Fri 13-Nov-20 19:28:14

Ahoy there. The Doodle wishing to come aboard.
AGA put your glasses on. It’s not George champing at the bit it’s one of the llamas.
lemon I can see my face in your shoes.......I tripped on the gangplank.
Grsnnygravy are you charging?

LauraNorder Fri 13-Nov-20 19:31:58

Charging? Have you come as a rhino GG?

lemongrove Fri 13-Nov-20 19:33:31

Action stations! Punters cramming through the doors, charge double for the cocktails and remember the ships biscuits (hobnobs, the best I could do) are a shilling each.

lemongrove Fri 13-Nov-20 19:35:12

Karaoke machine on now, I’m up first....
‘ There is nothing like a dame! Nothing....you can naaaame...

LauraNorder Fri 13-Nov-20 19:35:23

Careful how you bend over in that uniform Lemon, that tall bloke who keeps eyeing you up is not called a rear admiral for nothing

AGAA4 Fri 13-Nov-20 19:42:14

Who is up for a rendition of "what can we do with the drunken sailor"

Doodle Fri 13-Nov-20 20:13:28

Me AGA. Where is he? ?

ixion Fri 13-Nov-20 20:19:18

Too drunk for action, by the looks of him.
Plenty more where he came from?

AGAA4 Fri 13-Nov-20 20:32:05

All the poteen and rum has gone and they are all drunk but that hasn't stopped us before.

LauraNorder Fri 13-Nov-20 20:32:28

Is it time for the sailors hornpipe yet?
While some of us are still capable

Spangler Fri 13-Nov-20 20:50:51

AGAA4 Fri 13-Nov-20 20:32:05

All the poteen and rum has gone

Have a skinfull, have a ball,
But heed this cautious warning.
Neck a more than a few, over the odds
And you will puke up in the morning!

GrannyGravy13 Fri 13-Nov-20 20:53:18

Last time I saw George Lemon was taking him off to look for the golden rivet she may be a while................

ixion Fri 13-Nov-20 21:30:50

Hey lemon, HOLA!
Some old guy here at the door, says he's the Ancient Mariner or something like that. Wittering on about an albatross......
Do you think he's up to it here at the Bar?

LauraNorder Fri 13-Nov-20 21:33:38

Oh no ixion don’t let an albatross in here, especially on Friday 13th all the sailors will do a runner

lemongrove Fri 13-Nov-20 21:41:11

Oh let him in ixion ( as long as he has brass in pocket) and put him over there with the old guy ( says he’s Captain Ahab) who keeps wittering on about a whale, they can bore each other to death.Sell them some grog.

lemongrove Fri 13-Nov-20 21:44:19

I have my very own drunken sailor...the Admiral, looking great in his ‘whites’ but legless, he keeps sliding gracefully to the floor so I’ve propped him up on a barrel.
Who’s up next for karaoke?
I liked your little song Spangler I have sung it several times now, you sound like a man who knows what a hangover’s like.
