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!?

Oh, that's what he's got round his neck. Thought it was a sort of feather boa - and very fetching it looked too, I must say, 'tho' a bit niffy (or is that him?).
I'll send him back to the boat. He can have a hot toddy when he gets back.
Meanwhile, is the lively lovely George back yet? (^offers up a swift prayer and crosses everything^)

Sorry, just doing a toilets inspection - Environmental Health have been rumoured to carry out spot checks dressed as marine operatives
Stand by -
This is an instrumental, slowing things down a bit,
it's 'Albatross' by Fleetwood Mac.
Just hum along

Followed by the one and only Dolly -
"WORKING NINE TO FIIIIIVE!" dedicated to lemon, taskmaster

Ohh what do we do with the drunken sailor?
What do we do with the drunken sailor
What do we do with the drunken sailor
Early in the morning ???...........

lemongrove Fri 13-Nov-20 22:18:07

Now GG we are not about to tell the world what we do with drunken sailors.☺️

Your wish is my command Laura ?

Kiss Me Hardy.....white rum, ginger ale and advocaat with a dash of drain cleaner.
Cat O’ Nine Tails..... voddy, pernod, lime juice with a hint of
Vim.
Bristol Fashion....dry sherry, brandy, lemonade and a splash of Flash.
Pipe Me Aboard......whisky, cointreau, diet coke and a spoonful of syrup of figs.
Shore Leave.....dark rum, absinthe, blackcurrant cordial and a
Squeeze of Fairy Liquid.

All equally delightful and lethal.?

Just putting the cocktail menu on the bar so’s you can choose your poison ( and I mean that most sincerely folks) as the late Hughie Green ( a patron of The Argy) used to say.

lemongrove Fri 13-Nov-20 22:34:09

Having (copiously) sampled all of them I have to say that the
Pipe Me Aboard is the winner and I......uh oh! Have had six of them and have to dash.....

LauraNorder Fri 13-Nov-20 23:49:45

Pipe me Aboard please Lemon with a double shot of Syrup of figs before I retire to my hammock with the nearest able bodied sailor

Doodle Fri 13-Nov-20 23:53:00

My turn for the karaoke.
? A life on the ocean wave ? ?
? A home on the rolling deep ?
?Where the ....... oooh I feel sea sick ?. ??

LauraNorder Fri 13-Nov-20 23:58:46

Good lord Doodle when did you get your second wind? Have you been with George on the Espresso machine?

Doodle Sat 14-Nov-20 00:14:36

Excuse me Laura but what George and I do and where we do it is none of your concern.......... mind you the machine may never work the same again ?

AGAA4 Sat 14-Nov-20 15:54:15

I think quite a few of us will be thinking of Spangler's song today.
George looks completely exhausted Doodle. What have you and Lemon done to him? Best not answer that as I have a good idea why he looks so fragile today. Time you both came down from the roof where you staggered to last night skimpily clothed I might add.
I have brought George down and given him some poteen and vitamins to boost him.

Doodle Sat 14-Nov-20 20:38:44

? brr it’s cold on the roof. A pint of poteen and a snuggle up with a llama is what I need now. Will someone please go and bring lemon down she’s frozen to the chimney stack.
Good night wasn’t it.
Wonder what next weeks will be.

lemongrove Sat 14-Nov-20 20:50:18

I have icicles hanging from my bazooms!??
Still, it was an excellent night apart from falling asleep on the roof ( dead drunk) when I was really hoping for a swing in a cosy hammock on the good ship HMS Stiffbarnacle.

lemongrove Sat 14-Nov-20 20:54:26

Let’s reward AGA with the choice of theme nite for next week, she’s not only proved a good scrubber but a wonderful
Poteen brewer.
We’ve had....Scottish Nite, Welsh, and Irish, Pirate, Goth, Halloween, Bonfire, and many more....so what haven’t we had?

AGAA4 Sat 14-Nov-20 21:04:01

007 nite? You can be shaken and stirred!

AGAA4 Sat 14-Nov-20 21:05:56

Who will be Pussy Galore?

LauraNorder Sat 14-Nov-20 21:54:10

I think you’ve spoken for all of us there AGA

Doodle Sat 14-Nov-20 21:56:52

So are we all going to be Pussies Galore. ?
If we advertise that on the board outside we may well bring in more than our usual punters. ?

LauraNorder Sat 14-Nov-20 22:10:44

Collectively we could be Octopussy

Doodle Sat 14-Nov-20 22:28:17

Laura that is brilliant grin

AGAA4 Sun 15-Nov-20 15:41:54

Laura Octopussy sounds good to me. Are there eight of us? Won't matter as nobody is in a fit state to count after ten minutes at the Argy.
The Admiral wants to come as James Bond as he says he is licensed to thrill.......hmm

ixion Sun 15-Nov-20 15:53:26

Was thinking of coming as Domino if that's OK? (Will bring pizzas ?)
