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!?

Helloooo, sorry to be late, Rich Reggie and I were having our own little party on board his yacht the Saucy Sailor, Reggie had made a vat of Singapore Sling ( and the rest is history.)
You all look very Christmassy, what’s that big white winged thing sitting on top of the oak tree?
A cocktail! Don’t mind if I do...a large Christmas Pudding cocktail please and a Christmas Cracker for Reggie.
My turn for karaoke, ........Rockin’ around the Christmas tree!

On the house AGA ?

I will have a Christmas cracker Doodle. I will have your cocktail as well.

Doodle Fri 18-Dec-20 21:03:36

lisa I see you are keeping up your standards dress wise. You will make a lovely angel on our tree. Shame about your bottle green Kevlar knickers though. The Admiral was so disappointed when he caught sight of them when you climbed up the tree.
My Christmas cocktail is Christmas Cracker. Brandy, whisky, hot chilli sauce, Worcestershire sauce and a hint of Tabasco. Shake, light and stand well back. ?

That sailor just told me I was a little cracker, I think I’ve pulled. See you later

Lisagran Fri 18-Dec-20 20:49:51

A little bird told me you’re looking for a Christmas tree angel? Well, I’m your girl! I’ll just pop my big reinforced knickers on, as that tree looks a bit rough. I like a bit of rough but there are limits. I’ll haul myself up there (what’s that sir, you’ll give me a hand up? so kind) once I’ve had a Festive tipple (or three)

LauraNorder Fri 18-Dec-20 20:28:22

Hello AGA, it’s quiet in here tonight , makes you wonder what Lemons grand entrance will be as she’s taking so long.

AGAA4 Fri 18-Dec-20 19:34:24

Stew is all you are likely to get Laura made with whatever wildlife we can find in the cellar.

LauraNorder Fri 18-Dec-20 18:40:41

My cocktail contribution is a Llama Snowball Surprise, advocaat, lemonade, llama spit and Pledge so that it’s easily polished off.
My outfit will be green lurex trousers with a sparkly red Christmas jumper with a picture of The Captain dressed as Santa.
Still thinking about my karaoke offering maybe ‘All I want for Christmas is Stew’ depending on whether it’s a game bird stew or a tasteless turkey offering with too many carrots.
Woohoo tchsmile ???

AGAA4 Fri 18-Dec-20 16:12:25

My entry is Christmas pudding cocktail - brandy, currants, candied peal, plum wine with a pinch of Andrews Liver salts.

lemongrove Thu 17-Dec-20 22:01:24

I shall be working through the night to come up with a stunning new cocktail for Friday’s Christmas bash....bring me a black coffee at regular intervals pleasecafe

lemongrove Thu 17-Dec-20 21:59:29

You’re worth your weight in gold AGA ( may have to sell you if times get hard)?
Nothing says Christmas like an oak tree .....or is that Druid?

AGAA4 Thu 17-Dec-20 16:12:12

We are getting lots of Christmas cards from some of our old customers. Most of them are serving sentences in various prisons. I wish they wouldn't put "wish you were here"and robins in cages a bit tasteless too.
The oak tree is looking very festive even with the bird's nest in it. I have put some tinsel round it.

lemongrove Thu 17-Dec-20 00:00:28

Midnight! Shall I lock up? Anyone not out of here in 10 seconds must sleep with the llamas in the cellar.moon

lemongrove Wed 16-Dec-20 22:14:30

Hopefully Doodle somebody who weighs less than 18 stone
Which knocks out all of us in here sadly.
I’ll see if rich Reggie will dress up in wings and do it...he only wears six stone soaking wet ( which he often is as he falls off his yacht dead drunk.)

Doodle Wed 16-Dec-20 20:13:05

Hollly in the poteen AGA that will give it a bit of a spike.
I will have you know that bathtub came from a reputable dealer ..............there wasn’t any cctv footage of the criminals was there ??
lemon who’s going to be the fairy on top of the Christmas oak tree?

AGAA4 Wed 16-Dec-20 16:27:07

I have been brewing for ages now in the new bath that Doodle gave me. I do love a corner bath but it looks suspiciously like the one on Crimewatch where a masked robber and 2 masked llamas stole some items from Plumb the Depths Plumbing Merchants.
I hope Lemon has finished with George. He promised me a coffee and has been with her in the cellar for days. She said she needed help with the accounts. Too much figuring going on methinks.

lemongrove Tue 15-Dec-20 14:58:28

There will be a prize awarded for the best Christmas Cocktail,
Get experimenting ( and it must have a name don’t forget)
I am off right now to the cellar with George Clooney ( who has decided to stay with us until the weekend) and we may be some time down there. Don’t wait up.?

lemongrove Mon 14-Dec-20 17:17:57

Wonderful... am getting into the Christmas spirit! ( Brandy mostly.)
This week our theme nite will be Christmas, and it will be our Christmas Party as well.Let’s do secret santa presents ( up to
Five bob) and fill the bar with lights and sparkle?

AGAA4 Mon 14-Dec-20 15:36:16

Larry and the llamas (does that sound like a pop group?) have brought a huge tree back. Pity it is an oak but I will haul the decorations up from the cellar to decorate it.
I have put some holly in the poteen as it's Christmas along with some bourbon and special rum.

Doodle Sun 13-Dec-20 22:10:26

Talking of Christmas trees, are we having one in the Argy this year lemon? We could have a really big one. I could ask Luscious Larry the lumberjack to get one for us with his big chopper. ?

lemongrove Sun 13-Dec-20 21:17:18

Who left all those porridge bowls congealing in the kitchen?
Don’t say it was the three bears either! They have set like concrete, get the llamas back to lick them clean.

lemongrove Sun 13-Dec-20 21:15:23

Ooops, how very embarrassing ?
I’d better unplug them ?

AGAA4 Sun 13-Dec-20 08:03:11

All the flashing lights on your topiary have fused all the electricity in the town.

lemongrove Sat 12-Dec-20 23:30:47

It has been newly trimmed Doodle by my new handyman☺️ It’s now in the shape of a Christmas tree, so the super new lights will look great!
