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!?

Clear the decks? You’ll be swabbing them Callistemon and do a good job or no tot of rum afterwards.

Callistemon Sat 07-Nov-20 20:29:01

I need more than five Bobs to help me swab all these decks..

LauraNorder Sat 07-Nov-20 21:18:09

Bob Jones
Bob Smith
Bob Marley
Bob Roberts
Bob Cratchet
Bob Hope
There you go Callistemon
7 Bobs will that do

LauraNorder Sat 07-Nov-20 21:19:16

Oops forgot Sponge Bob Square Pants

lemongrove Sat 07-Nov-20 21:26:24

Callistemon Sat 07-Nov-20 21:28:49

Well, some won't be much help!

But Bob the Builder will do just fine
And Sponge Bob Square Pants will be very useful - I can fill him up with soapy water!!

Why are all these bobs in here? Bob Dylan is blowing in the wind. May have been the Admiral and those beans.

Ooohhh the drinks were strong last night. Got a lift home from one of the firemen. He had a pair of bloomers hanging from his hose. Don't remember what happened after that, only just woke up. Did I miss anything?

No mancgirl you’re fine. Most of us don’t remember Friday nights.
Naval night is fine by me (although I still think soft kitten night would be fun)
Can we turn the bar into a ship? We could put a mast and make lemon climb the rigging. Knowing her she’ll be up there showing off her bloomers anyway.
AGA you’ll have to get in the cellar and make some rum, you know what these naval types are like.
Callistemon I’ll help you with the cleaning up. Let’s prop Grannygravy in the corner with the llamas.
ixion as you’re new, you get to clean the toilets. You’ll find the gas mask and goggles and the plunger in the cupboard.

Doodle Sun 08-Nov-20 00:08:07

There’s some bloke outside says his name is Bob A Job.

ixion Sun 08-Nov-20 08:57:01

-Er, still waiting for a job description and rates of pay?‍♀️
Do I get some sort of hazardous conditions premium??

lemongrove Sun 08-Nov-20 09:18:25

No ixion you will have to muck in with the rest of us.....we provide marigolds, mop and bucket and an old tin of Vim.
You will also now get five bob a week ( not five Bobs!) all the poteen you can hold and some left over parkin.
Can’t say fairer than that, so get cracking!

lemongrove Sun 08-Nov-20 09:19:25

I have fired up the Nespresso machine cafe if anyone wants one.

lemongrove Sun 08-Nov-20 09:20:58

If I hear any more mutinous comments you’ll be walking the plank come Friday night.

AGAA4 Sun 08-Nov-20 09:24:18

No ixion but I will give you a swamp fever jab before you go in there.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 08-Nov-20 09:26:25

Nespresso sounds perfect lemongrove I might make a sneaky reconnaissance trip upriver to see if I can kidnap invite George back to the Argy, what do you think?

AGAA4 Sun 08-Nov-20 09:31:50

Now making rum with a bag of carrots that Fast Fritz gave me (glimpse of yellow bloomers worked)

lemongrove Sun 08-Nov-20 09:31:59

Well, if anyone can do it it’s you GG using your mixture of business sense and womanly wiles. He rarely comes back of his own accord once let off the leash.Yes, give it a go, would be nice to have gorgeous George back here for Naval Nite.Promise him a tour of a warship.

lemongrove Sun 08-Nov-20 09:35:26

Oh, yellow are they, this week AGA ? Such a one for cleanliness you are ( a fresh pair every week!)
Carrot rum sounds a bit rum?but you know best where alcohol is concerned so will leave it in your capable and wrinkly hands.

GrannyGravy13 Sun 08-Nov-20 10:58:03

Right I have got the canoe out of the garage, might take a while to walk it down to the end of my road (GrandpaGravy does not want anything to do with my cunning plan ), where I can launch into the creek and head out into the Estuary, from there I shall row up the Thames to Berkshire. It might take a while.

I have google earthed GCs estate and the new landing dock is finished, will keep you updated................

lemongrove Sun 08-Nov-20 11:18:52

Hope you remembered the carrier pigeon GG we want regular messages of progress.

ixion Sun 08-Nov-20 13:49:47

?
Is gorgeous GC by any chance the rather gorgeous chappie who likes a certain brand of coffee? (Sorry, I'm clearly behind the door new here).

lemongrove Sun 08-Nov-20 14:15:50

Yes, ixion the very same! We kidnap him from time to time and chain him to the Nespresso machine.....it brings in the punters.We let him out from time to time for filming, and then he does a runner.

ixion Sun 08-Nov-20 14:24:26

I would breast the tape any day for him! -Swoon-
