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.

Who’s doing the accounts? Put my drinks on a tab would you as I seem to have left my purse on the boat.
A nautical life seems to suit me, going from port to port as free as a bird ( a bit like my past life) only no need to wink at sailors now I have Rich Reggie, it’s the high life instead of the low life these days.
Still, good to see you all, nothing changes in The Argy, not even the clientele.?????Cheers me dears!

Many orders in your notebook yet Doodle? Or are you just scribbling down the hunky punters’ phone numbers?

lemongrove Fri 19-Feb-21 21:25:54

‘Evening All!
Rich Roger an’ me were just passing by ( our yacht needs repairs) so thought we would have a swift half of poteen while we wait.Wot’s going on then, a fashion show is it?
What a coincidence as I’m dressed to the nines anyway, my new outfit from Madame Pom Pom.Yes, it may look like a bin bag but it’s best quality PVC and comes straight from Paree.
It’s all the rage over there.Worn with black fish net tights and bovver boots.

Always prepared grandmajet , wear your bestest knickers on a night out, you never know when you might pull. ?

(?Those extra cushions you half-inched from the other lot?
I've replaced them with a few whoopee cushions. ROFL)

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 20:39:07

Sorry the paper dress is falling apart Happyme. I did warn you not to swim in the vat of poteen. Just as well you have your best M and S undies on!

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 20:37:38

Flora, would you like to buy some designer hotpants? Only ten shillings, or seventeen and six for two? I can have them ready in a couple of days. All proceeds to the unnamed kitty.

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 20:30:59

Hope you're well stocked up on wheelie bin size ixion. I will probably need one...my christmas paper is only good for paper mache and the sellotape won't stick.
Hi Flora5 have you been under the bar since Greek night, thought Vlad was quiet

ixion Fri 19-Feb-21 20:10:51

What do you reckon?
All we need are ???, ✂️and

I thought ten bob for the caddy size
Seventeen and six for the flip top bin size
One guinea (sounds classy) for the wheelie bin size.

Flora5 Fri 19-Feb-21 20:10:38

You al sound delightfully mad so that's a good start . I'm new here .
Like the sound of Vlad serving me a swifty
AND its Greek night .!!!! Χάρηκα πολύ (HA-ree-ka po-LEE)

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 20:05:33

Wow. You look just like Liz Hurley! I feel quite inadequate. Don’t let the Admiral see you.

ixion Fri 19-Feb-21 20:03:15

Drumroll please.
Doodle are you standing by to take orders?
This will be a winner.

Music -"Who's that girl?" by Madge

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 19:59:28

What is ixion up to I wonder? ?

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 19:58:22

Oh no! Quick, I’ll get the sellotape.

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 19:54:26

Well done on that recovery grandmajet , I can confirm those pants are hot . Giz a hand up please , my cocktail dress is soggy

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 19:47:03

Who did I land on? Right, buttocks adjusted, and back up I go.
Any orders for my hotpants yet Doodle?

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 19:45:00

Ok, boots on now. Can I have Uptown Girl to sashay to please. Ready, steady, down to the end, twirl and pose and ooooooops!

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 19:38:07

ixion it was either that or iggle piggle. You can have that if you prefer

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 19:35:54

Trying to get back on my feet, gosh this floor is slippy, is that tomato juice or have the llamas had a whoopsy moment.
Argghh I have been flattened by a hippo hippy

ixion Fri 19-Feb-21 19:34:54

Its no good?.
I have tried and tried but it's still floppy, even with a flower stuck on it.
And as for that duvet cover you gave me, AGA, you never thought to mention that it was Peppa Pig one.
Meanie. I'm not strutting my stuff in that, thank you very much.

BUT, I have an amazing plan, guaranteed, for minimal effort and outlay, to bring in heaps of dosh at order time.
All shapes and sizes catered for.

Watch this space

AGAA4 Fri 19-Feb-21 19:32:22

Here I come sashaying up the catwalk. Eek! I've tripped over something. It's Happy me doing the splits.

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 19:23:52

Me and the llamas can kick things off with our struttdance routine to Take a Walk on the Wild side.
Oops I think the twirls may have been a mistake....I didn't know I could do the splits .
Who threw that tomatoe, the llamas think it is dinner time and have started fighting over it

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 19:06:15

Ssssh don’t tell the other lot we’ve got the cushions. I picked the best ones. I’ve also got some comfy socks.
grandmajet the socks are for putting on your feet to make them cosy not for putting on other parts of the male anatomy.
Goose fat coming up ? oops sorry.
Come on now you lot the punters are in. Start up the music whose first on the catwalk ?

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 18:16:14

One and six, wow I am well flattered grandmajet, ha who said I was cheap.

No wiggling from me, that is so yesterday, I intend flouncing

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 18:01:54

Actually that’s a price tag, Happyme. 1 shilling and sixpence. I said I’d had it a while!
