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.

Of course Happyme. I’ve some old bits of Christmas paper and plenty of sellotape so should be able to fashion something stunning for you. Just don’t spill the poteen down it or it may disintegrate.

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 12:02:58

Psst..pssst...Over here......in the corner with the llamas.......yes, afghan coat and ?.....it's me...ME!!!!

Schhh ?, I'm in hiding. Think they may be looking for me after last night's shenanagans. I might just lie low here for a while with my mates the llamas.

Please could you make me a cocktail dress like theirs grandmajet. And if I could borrow that floppy hat Doodle , you can keep the pigeon though, I'm in enough sh*t.

Got the salt. ?

Poster headline -

'You don't have to be Quirky to come, but it helps'

To avoid misunderstandings, you see

Well, I hope you’re all practising your best wiggly walks. I’m looking forward to the loon/bell bottom vibe. My bottom is something of a bell these days! And the politician themed dress, genius! Which politicians will grace the boob area - will Thatcher be on the right and Corbyn on the left!
I’ve tested out the catwalk and it seems sturdy enough but a bit slippery. I did shoot off at one point but luckily landed on Vlad, he didn’t seem to mind. I’m going to sneak into The Other Place and steal some salt to prevent further slippage, they seem to have plenty, - don’t tell or they may catch me.
Meantime, we need to get some punters in as we need plenty of sales. Maybe we should put up some posters around the backstreets of gransnet advertising the spectacular event? Any ideas?

Are we allowed to be tasteful grandmajet?

grandmajet Thu 18-Feb-21 19:04:35

I’ve got some facepaint Happyme. We can disguise the teeth marks as a tasteful tattoo.

Happyme Thu 18-Feb-21 18:21:33

Not sure I like the idea of a little nip...how little is little...don't want teeth marks

Doodle Thu 18-Feb-21 18:17:39

Happyme you know we don’t mingle with that rough lot down the road. Don’t worry. I have spoken to the llamas. They will go there later tonight to leave a deposit. ?
Hmm you do look a bit scruffy. How about you borrow this old outfit of lemon’s which I found hanging behind the door., I agree there is very little front and not much more back but given a little nip here and there it should do the job. ?

Happyme Thu 18-Feb-21 18:11:17

So thrilled with my clobber ensemble that I wandered into that dive establishment down the road to give them an eyefull preview. No sooner had I downed sipped my first bevvy cocktail (inferior poteen ) than I overheard some ****er call us Argie reulars 'silly billies'......when they rubbished our pillow talk I had to pipe up and got told to get stuffed. I was spitting feathers!!! To rub salt in it they then told me to put a sock in it ?. Well I had no choice but to put the boot in did I....they were asking for it.
Luckily I got the boot back but have rips in both knees of my satin cullottes and one sleeve of my satin blouse got pulled right off! How can I stagger sashay down the catwalk looking like this ?

Such a helpful chap

grandmajet Thu 18-Feb-21 17:14:44

Ouch! I think the Admiral has found one of them!

grandmajet Thu 18-Feb-21 17:14:10

Every time I turn round, they’ve gone.

AGAA4 Thu 18-Feb-21 16:53:55

Where did you last see your buttocks grandmajet? Do you need help to find them?

ixion Thu 18-Feb-21 16:07:04

???‍♀️

grandmajet Thu 18-Feb-21 16:05:51

I’ve just tried on my hotpants. I’m sure my buttocks were in a different place years ago. I’ll have to wear two thongs to hoick them up.

AGAA4 Thu 18-Feb-21 15:38:07

I have made my duvet cover into a glamorous dress. It is has lovable politicians printed all over it so I am sure many of the Argy regulars will want to order it. It will go well with my white sandals and feather boa.
Thor is very good with his hands as you well know Doodle and the catwalk is ready.

Doodle Thu 18-Feb-21 15:10:20

grandmajet perhaps we can model our designs then take orders to make later. I’ve got a couple of bolts of tat which Handsome Harry the Haberdashery King from Pigs Totter Alley let me have cheap for a spot of advertising in our show.
Has Thor made that bar extension yet. I want our catwalk to be solid, what with all the weight it will be carrying.

Happyme Thu 18-Feb-21 13:31:19

No ones getting my boots!!!!! Puss can get his own boots

grandmajet Thu 18-Feb-21 12:04:41

Is the plan still a fashion show followed by a sale of our best designs? I guess we have to make extras or we’ll all be starkers after the sale. I’ll set about making hotpants from a few old bits of tat lying round the house. Should sell well for the kitty/cat fund.

Happyme Wed 17-Feb-21 23:13:12

There is a definite trend going on in my wardrobe.....probably a trend at sometime..somewhere anyway.....or maybe not.
So it is animal print all the way for me!!!!!
Satin cullottes with my knee length platform sole boots....love those boots. Just knew I'd be reunited with them one day ?
Silk blouse with shoulder pads and ruffle collar.
And BIG hair
Thinking of adding the afghan coat but a bit worried the llamas will get the wrong idea

grandmajet Wed 17-Feb-21 20:08:30

Sometimes you’re the pigeon,
Sometimes you’re the statue!

Doodle Wed 17-Feb-21 19:28:08

I will be wearing my bell bottoms (they’re making another comeback) Tank top - the double barrel kind. Fluffy jerkin as in Sonny and Cher. Pink leather high heeled boots and a large floppy hat with a pigeon on top (I don’t know where the pigeon came from but it seems attached to the hat)
