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!?

My false bottom is where I keep my accounts ( creative accounting is my speciality)?
Has anyone seen the llamas? They are suspiciously quiet, as is the Admiral, although he looks a knockout as Bonnie ( I quite fancy you as Clyde Doodle) ☺️Must have had too many ‘Ello ‘Ello ‘Ello’s tonite!

(Whispers reverently) Do you think George might be there, still??

Lemon is keeping her jewellery safe in her false bottom.

LauraNorder Fri 08-Jan-21 21:11:11

Doodle, that watch was in Freddy the Fence’s pocket, did you give it to him in return for favours?
I think Constable Coppem has sussed out Lemons false bottom, we could preempt the charges and do him for up skirting.
Maybe that’s where she hides the takings, we’ve looked everywhere else. Only to protect them of course.

Just thought I’d pop in for a quick one........smile Found my old cat burglar clothes and managed to squeeze myself into them, with the help of some baby oil - I can always rely on my neighbour to help with little jobs like that, such a gent.

AGAA4 Fri 08-Jan-21 21:20:57

It is a very large bottom. There must be thousands in there

lemongrove Fri 08-Jan-21 21:27:40

Arse envy!?
Ever since I had a Kardashian enhancement.
Now, karaoke time, I shall crawl up onto the bar and give you a good ‘un ....
‘Staaaaand and delivvvver, your money or your life, I am a dandy highwayman.....

Doodle Fri 08-Jan-21 21:29:01

Ooh lemon you are awful ....but I like you. ?
ixion you’re not still drooling over George are you........sigh..poor girl.
Laura I don’t know what you mean. blush as if.
If lemon keeps all our takings in her false bottom we’d better make sure we keep a close eye on her when we have curry night ?
Lisa we’ve told you before, you’re not allowed to do business in here. If you are having a quick one, go round the back alley where no one can see you.

Lisagran Fri 08-Jan-21 21:34:03

Sorry Doodle, I’ll slip round the back now (funny, I just heard someone say that smile)

lemongrove Fri 08-Jan-21 21:34:45

......and get those large jugs off the bar!

lemongrove Fri 08-Jan-21 21:35:47

Well, my song went down well, who’s up next?

lemongrove Fri 08-Jan-21 21:38:08

Lisagran

Ooh, Doodle, that sounds the ideal job for me! I could do my yoga exercises for the ‘inmates’ - my Downward Dog has quite a fan club.......

I bet it’s nothing compared to my crouching tiger....not to mention my hidden dragon.dragon

Just drank two coppers truncheons?
What exactly were those crushed blue pills in it?

ixion Fri 08-Jan-21 21:39:47

No, you're right, doodle, time to move on?
Any nice coppers at that table over there?

lemongrove Fri 08-Jan-21 21:45:24

Am sure I used to know the burly copper with a tash, he used to live near me in Letsby Avenue.

AGAA4 Fri 08-Jan-21 21:48:55

That's Sergeant Donga Lemon

LauraNorder Fri 08-Jan-21 21:50:47

The coppers truncheon was really for the men to drink and us to enjoy Lemon, not sure what affect the little blue pills will have on you, perhaps you’ll find you have very pert nipples later.

lemongrove Fri 08-Jan-21 21:52:01

Ah yes! Old Longa Donga.....I remember him well.

lemongrove Fri 08-Jan-21 21:53:01

Everything about me is pert Laura ?

LauraNorder Fri 08-Jan-21 21:57:26

Karaoke, ?chains, my baby’s got me wrapped up in chains?

lemongrove Fri 08-Jan-21 22:04:08

Here’s rich Reggie with my supper ( since the llamas have eaten all the buffet) mmmmmn, lobster ‘n’ chips, very tasty.
Hope it doesn’t clash with the cocktails...

AGAA4 Fri 08-Jan-21 22:05:35

Longa Donga used to take us behind the police station to reprimand us.

Lisa grin
Pert means small and well shaped lemon not bulbous and dragging on the floor

Doodle Fri 08-Jan-21 23:31:46

Now he’s older, I don’t think Longa Donga’s donga is as longa as it used to be. ?

What a nite!
It’s taken me all weekend to recover.....
The takings exceed all expectations ( and my expectations were very high) ?am well pleased.
Back to reality now and the cleaning rota is pinned up in the scullery ( George is pinned up in the cellar) ?and all is well with the world ( in The Argy anyway.)
A pint of creme de menthe please Thor with a cherry and a pineapple slice.?
