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!?

Poor GG13 after a sparkling rendition of Like A Virgin?
She vanished into the cellar with the Captain.
Too much poteen and cocktails has that effect, it’s very sad that some just can’t hold their booze.
You’ll get your memory back in a day or two.

Naval Nite ( not navel nite) when we celebrate all things navy and maritime.The Admiral is going to wear whites ( even though it’s a British Autumn)bless him.?

Oh yes! This is right up my street
Or gangway as my very own Admiral says.
Clear the decks!

ixion Sat 07-Nov-20 20:23:32

And another, then?

ixion Sat 07-Nov-20 20:22:23

sigh. I'll do another mug of hot chocolate?

Callistemon Sat 07-Nov-20 20:21:52

We made so much dosh that I am giving you all a payrise

I'm back!
From outer space
(Take that sad look off your face)

I've never been one to turn down five bob.

GrannyGravy13 Sat 07-Nov-20 20:18:08

Help!!! Does anyone know who I am?
Where am I?

We made so much dosh that I am giving you all a payrise....
Wait for it.......five shillings a week! Double your money, as Hughie Green used to say. I would advise saving a least a shilling a week, put it away in your bloomers for your old age.

I think the lack of oxygen up there has affected your marbles
Doodle.....soft kitten night????!!!!!
I have already decided what we will do next week ( it’s a bit more relaxing than this week but still in The Argy tradition)
Naval Nite ( not navel nite) when we celebrate all things navy and maritime.The Admiral is going to wear whites ( even though it’s a British Autumn)bless him.?

Doodle Sat 07-Nov-20 19:23:03

Coommmmiiiinnnnnggggg down now ☄️? Ouch!
I’ve landed. Thank goodness the llamas are soft.
I need a drink please.
May I suggest next Friday’s bash is something genteel like soft kitten night or cuddly toy night .?

Glad you landed safely Laura but the Admiral does look a bit squashed.

LauraNorder Sat 07-Nov-20 16:49:59

Come in Doodle, come in Doodle,
Mind you don’t land on the fireman’s pole, it would give a whole new meaning to re-entry, ouch.

AGAA4 Sat 07-Nov-20 15:52:01

Ground control to Doodle. Let us know when re-entry is taking place and we will haul a lilo up onto the roof for you.

ixion is making hot chocolate as you are probably cold after spinning around in space all night. The llamas are on the roof already waiting for you to land.

ixion Sat 07-Nov-20 12:58:47

I'll put the kettle on..............

Doodle Sat 07-Nov-20 12:36:43

Hello, hello, can anyone hear me. This is Doodle calling from outer space. I made the mistake of hanging onto Thor’s rocket and when my sparklers were lit they ignited the rocket and off we went. ? I’m in orbit at the moment ? ? hoping to make re entry this afternoon and be back in time for tonight.
Please arrange a soft landing place for me. ?

Hello Chewie help yourself to the cinder toffee, ignore the teeth, all four sets.

mancgirl Fri 06-Nov-20 22:26:15

Lemongrove. I've given the black peas to the firemen to keep their strength up while inserting their poles on the rooftop. I'll be up soon to join in the fun. Anyone seen Achilles?

ixion Fri 06-Nov-20 22:15:23

Hey, I can't clamber up there with this sparkly tray. Not at my age.
Do you think they are busy up there?
When I came to, I found my empty Spanish dodgy1960s liqueur bottles- you DID use them to light the bonfire?
I hope the dear little straw donkey wasn't lobbed unceremoniously on the pyre too?.
His name was Pedro?

phoenix Fri 06-Nov-20 22:10:27

Evening all, sorry for intermittent absence, all over the place at the moment.

Had to get my feather boa vaccinated, it put up quite a fight! Eventually got it subdued within a pillow case. The vet is having counselling, going reasonably well so far.

Anyways, can I have my usual, please?

LauraNorder Fri 06-Nov-20 22:01:29

The firemen are on the roof inserting a fireman’s pole. Looks as though Doodle will be first to take advantage.

ixion Fri 06-Nov-20 21:56:51

Oops, sorry. That poteen packs some punch?.
Table six? Ooh, the hunky firemen! Beginners luck.
Do I need a ?. Or some other sort of PPE?
(I'd wear my chain mail undies, but on second thoughts, they'd be a dab hand with their bolt cutters?)

lemongrove Fri 06-Nov-20 21:49:10

I hope no actual customers ate the Parkin ( or the black peas)
Or we could end up in court.I shall blame mancgirl for providing them.?

lemongrove Fri 06-Nov-20 21:46:31

IXION WAKE UP!!!
The night is yet young ( even if we aren’t) carry this tray of
Sparkler Surprise cocktails over to table six....that rowdy lot from the fire station, and no flirting, there’s work to do.

ixion Fri 06-Nov-20 21:38:10

???

lemongrove Fri 06-Nov-20 21:37:16

That was a wonderful display by Laura especially the finale when her teeth shot out and embedded themselves in Gnashers behind! Her multicoloured silk bloomers and tank top are imprinted on my brain ( I’ll never get to sleep tonight.)

AGAA4 Fri 06-Nov-20 21:22:55

Oh there she goes. She is neck and neck with that rocket that Thor let off
