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.

grandmajet Sat 20-Feb-21 20:37:42

Off you go ixion. I’ll take over now. We know how to spend a Saturday night!

Doodle Sat 20-Feb-21 21:27:48

Just been back to Handsome Harry’s for some more material.
I’ve got fluorescent pink and yellow plastic and some stuff with flowers on. Harry says he’d like a pink pair with braces please.

ixion Sat 20-Feb-21 21:32:05

Cheers.
I have done a pile of gold lamé. Not much breathability or aeration where it counts, but hey ho. No probs for bright young things.
Also a pile of black leather ette. Decided these would be better with side vents to let the circulation in, so have made them lace up each side, plus the fact that we've run out of black thread.
Still seventeen and six for two?

Doodle Sat 20-Feb-21 22:47:02

Well done ixion that’ll bring in some money. We need it now Lemon’s raided the till.
Saucy Sal the Slutty Seamstress said she’d sell them for us in her market stall for a cut in the profits.
Let’s pack them up then we can put them on the llamas and take them round to her.
AGA hope that poteen is brewing up nicely. We need to get thinking about next Friday’s theme nite. Any ideas?

ixion Sat 20-Feb-21 23:31:59

I fancy 'Great Women in History'.

Only a thought - am open to any suggestions (as ever)

Doodle Sun 21-Feb-21 00:29:55

Fantastic. I fancy being Boudicca. I will arrive in my chariot, bare breasted and ready for action...........unless it’s a bit chilly. ?

Happyme Sun 21-Feb-21 00:30:32

Wow impressive hot pants production......I fancy some florescent pink plastic ones myself.....are they waterproof??

Please please can I be Lady Godiva next week......always fancied riding bareback ......one of the llamas could be my mighty steed.

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 08:05:35

Morning! I fell asleep at the machine. You’ve done well, gold lame and black leather! They should sell well.
I’ve knocked out a couple of dozen flower power pairs with frilly bottom for the hippy clientele, some in black lace, nice and airy for a night out in the Argy, and a very exclusive white lace number with matching bralette for this year’s trendy bride. I reckon we could charge £2.50 for that!

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 08:30:38

I fancy some fluorescent waterproof ones for myself as well, sometimes the queue for the little girls’ room is very long!

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 08:35:25

Boudicca, great choice Doodle. Will the wooden horse be back to pull your chariot?
And Lady Godiva, Happyme! Not much costume effort there!
Do you think the Admiral will survive all these bosoms on display?
I think I’ll be Marilyn Monroe. I do closely resemble her after all!

ixion Sun 21-Feb-21 09:56:57

Please, no Joan of Arcs.
Think of all the straw around here and we can't risk the Bar going up.

I had fancied being Boudicca, tbh, but hey ho.
True to my calling, I shall come as Florence Nightingale, complete with lamp and tender ministrations to the poorly.

Please note, being drunk or hungover is NOT being 'poorly'.

Happyme Sun 21-Feb-21 11:37:47

Precisely grandmjet grin . I have ordered my wig from Tiffany's Titfers for Toffs of Grosvenor, Wigmakers to Royalty....my lockdown locks are not quite long enough to preserve my modesty.

The Admiral may well need your tender administrations ixion

AGAA4 Sun 21-Feb-21 15:43:45

The till is filling up nicely. Well done to all the seamstresses. A free pint of poteen to all.
Bit worried about all the bare bazooms. It is February and there will be a lot of goosebumps I fear

AGAA4 Sun 21-Feb-21 15:46:59

Can I have some gold lame not llama hot pants please.

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 15:53:22

I’ve had several enquiries for the bridal lacy hotpants/bralette combo. Should I auction it, do you think? Mass production would compromise it’s value I fear.

grandmajet Sun 21-Feb-21 15:54:16

With all the goosebumps I think the real bazookas may go unnoticed Aga!

AGAA4 Sun 21-Feb-21 16:11:39

Although blue is an attractive colour grandmajet

grandmajet Mon 22-Feb-21 11:38:10

All order now collected and the proceeds locked in the safe. The excess goods available for Saucy Sal’s stall.
I sold the exclusive bridal number for 5 guineas, and have been assured it may well feature OK magazine in the spring. Or was it Thats’s Life!

Flora5 Mon 22-Feb-21 12:51:41

Sorry not much help with the monday cleanup ...... Just up for breath from under the bar wow that Vlad has stanima happyme ... hope your not jelous.
Grandmajet ...hot pants ! Yes please .I have a dozen or so pairs but happy to accept more , after all I'll be back in Waitrose fairly soon and will have to look my best . There is a rather good looking bacon slicer I have my eye on. Oh btw size xxl please .
Cant wait until Friday ....promise not to seek all of Vlad's attention . I expect by then I'd just be happy with a bucket of ale and few swift chasers .

grandmajet Mon 22-Feb-21 12:55:15

Was that you Flora? I heard some muffled squeaking when I was mucking out the lavs, I thought some mice had got into my hotpants.

AGAA4 Mon 22-Feb-21 15:50:08

The Admiral has just come in wearing his new hotpants. Vibrant Pink. Just a warning as you may need to wear sunglasses or not look at all. Not a pretty sight and we don't want to put Flora off.

AGAA4 Mon 22-Feb-21 15:55:56

Thor is busy with me brewing this week's poteen. You are in for a surprise (or a shock). This week the ingredients are even stronger. There is some purple smoke coming from the vat.....not sure that was supposed to happen confused

Happyme Mon 22-Feb-21 19:52:46

Think I'll pass on testing that brew AGA, could try inhaling it I suppose ?....not that I normally inhale obviously ?
I see nobody is up for doing a turn as Margaret Thatcher on Friday.
No I'm not jealous Flora envy ??....just practicing my traffic light impersonations!
grandmajet I've noticed my hotpants squeak too, thought I had a little ? problem.

ixion Mon 22-Feb-21 20:02:24

Been thinking .....
That great profit you said we made Doodle?
Accept that we had to replace the teensy bit of money that went missing to some yacht or the other, BUT

Could we not rent a chara and have a little jolly to the seaside, bit of bondage bonding and all that?

Doodle Mon 22-Feb-21 20:58:59

ixion brilliant idea. I happen to know that Dodgy Dan the used car salesman has an old Dormobile we can have for a tenner and a snog. I’ve told him we’ll take it and Happyme will be round later with the money to settle the deal (and provide the extras)
We can take some vats of poteen and if we all squish up I’m sure we’ll fit in.
So where are we going?
