Hello Argies, regulars and newcomers, after meeting Moneybags Mike this evening we have another year’s lease on the bar ( £8/10/6d! Daylight robbery)
Drop in here anytime for a chat, banter and a drink or three.
Every Friday is a ‘theme nite’ there may be a raffle and there is always humour along with strong poteen.

Don't worry Happyme those llamas will see off any intruders. They have teeth and know how to use them.

I am wearing my politician dress but you are not allowed to punch me even though I have Trump on my nether regions and Putin at the.. er... front. I will be wielding my feather boa so watch out.

grandmajet you are right I have made the poteen extra strong this week so no spillage or the catwalk may disappear.

Well, I've tried out my 1971 19" embroidered loons. So far so good. ??+++
But realise now with horror that my midriff for the crop top is not what it was 50 years ago?
(In fact, it doesn't seem discernible from the rest of the vast expanse elsewhere).

Back to the drawing board, even tho tempus fugit

ixion I have another duvet cover you can use to cover the midriff area.

ixion Fri 19-Feb-21 15:57:36

Lovely, thanks.
I shall be announced as styling fashion for the more discerning ladies of a certain age

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 16:10:59

Putin is surely on the left, er, front, Aga.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 16:16:44

He is grandmajet but I'm not sure who it is on the right? Bit blurred but I have had one or two pints of poteen. You all seem to be a bit blurred too.

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 16:23:21

Is it Boris AGA? Who’s that lower down the front, the one wearing a beard?

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 16:24:41

Here’s my floppy hat ? ixion you may borrow it. It’s a bit smelly because the llamas have been sitting on it (at least I think that’s what they said ?)

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 16:25:14

I think it may be David Cameron clinging on there on the right, but he is a bit foggy.
We’d better lay off the poteen or we’ll all be tumbling off the catwalk.

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 16:31:32

Should I get Thor to put up hand rails or just lay along the bar so we can hold onto him as we walk along ?

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 16:33:25

I'm glad they are all blurred. I saw someone coming in with rotten tomatoes. The llamas are eyeing up my Trump rear too.
I don't want anyone grabbing my David Cameron or my Putin so I will keep away from the Admiral.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 16:36:05

Thor has placed some big cushions on either side of the bar for when we fall off doodle as we most likely will.

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 16:48:41

Good idea AGA.
I have a notebook ready to take orders. I’m sure with the quality of tonight’s outfits we will soon be overflowing with cash. ?

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 16:58:43

We will ply them with poteen and cocktails first and then they will be more happy to pay for the gorgeous outfits we will be modelling.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 17:00:19

I think I could get at least 2 shillings for mine.

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 17:14:57

Aga, I don’t know how else to put this, but I think your David Cameron is wandering towards the centre!

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 17:15:52

Doodle, did you smuggle in the big cushions from the Other Place?

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 17:19:02

Oh no! Strapless bras. I did smuggle in the cushions while everyone was talking about something else. Socks I think?

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 17:21:22

I think doodle nabbed some too. There are a lot of them. Makes landing much less painful.

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 17:23:02

Maybe we’ll bounce right over the catwalk! That would be entertaining, but it may be a challenge for keeping things ‘in place’ as it were.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 17:25:46

If I start bouncing grandmajet I won't be able to stop.

ixion Fri 19-Feb-21 17:35:04

Thank you for the offer of the ?, doodle.
The one I still have appears to be big but floppy.
I shall have a frantic attempt to stiffen it - be back much later.

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 17:50:31

Thankyou for the dress grandmajet I love the stick on bows, not sure about the gift tag??. No fear of spillages here....I know how to hold my liquer....usually with both hands (ooh a very rude joke just popped into my head but no no stop it, I'm not telling ☺)

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 18:00:39

Do you have any goose fat left from your cannon adventure last week Doodle? My white plastic boots are a bit tight to get on.

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 18:01:28

Are you threatening to tickle me with your feather boa AGA,
I like a bit of slap and tickle.

PS I know what the pussy cat is called but ?, don't want to cause any crossed threads wires.
