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 AGA I am having a dress (undress) rehearsal for my entrance as Boudicca tonight. I have been driving up and down Pigs Trotter Lane in my chariot pulled by the llamas, they will be too exhausted to fight you for the Pizza. By the way I seem to have earned a few bob by offering rides on the chariot. I had to give one woman her money back although I didn’t think it was my fault that she wasn’t holding on when we cornered fast just outside sexy Sadie’s shop. Personally I thought the bloomers she landed on in the shop were just her colour. ?

Great. Another money spinner Doodle. You and your chariot will be very popular. Sexy Sadie has offered a percentage of the sales if you drop some more punters off at her shop

Doodle Fri 05-Mar-21 19:15:43

Hmmm. Let’s fill everyone up with poteen then we can pile them in the chariot and off we go.
Time for some karaoke I think.
Not sure whether to start with Leap up and down wave your knickers in the air for Sexy Sadie or Wheels on Fire in reference to my chariot ?

What a great idea Doodle! We seem to be making more funds outside the Argy than in these days!
By the way Luigi’s boys wanted to know if you wanted your crust stuffed. Not sure what they mean. ?

I just don’t identify as Queen Victoria, I’m Marilyn Monroe, my little white dress is ready to fly up and reveal my lurex bloomers, I just need a windy grate! If I stand on the bar, maybe a windy llama will do the trick.

Here I am, Bargers, been busy disinfecting everywhere at Scutari.
It was an absolute hellhole there, this seems vaguely reminiscent, I have to say.
I have my lamp: any poorlies yet for me to minister to?

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 20:11:39

We may all be poorly after Luigi’s pizzas!

AGAA4 Fri 05-Mar-21 20:20:47

The llamas have got the hump about all the work and are demanding a hay ride.

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 20:24:15

Llamas transitioning into camels??

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 20:27:53

Any historic food available, Aga, until those pizzas arrive?
Little Marilyn is a itsy bitsy peckish.

AGAA4 Fri 05-Mar-21 20:31:04

The back of the pantry is the place to go. Some cakes there circa 1967

ixion Fri 05-Mar-21 21:15:50

Pizzas have arrived!
Are those little placcy bags of talc ready for the handover?

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 21:18:40

Right, I’ll dance on the bar in my Marilyn dress, to distract them while you complete the handover.
Happy Birthday, dear Luigi! Warble warble.

ixion Fri 05-Mar-21 21:28:52

QUICK - dim the lights.
Luigi and his two henchmen associates want to inspect the goods?
grandmajet Can't you do a rendition of O'sole Mio or something equally Italian to distract them? Just do the 'One Cornetto' version if you don't speak the lingo.
I will emerge out of the ensuing gloom with my lamp to seal the deal - or so they think?

Doodle Fri 05-Mar-21 21:37:36

Well that’s done the trick ladies. Saved thanks to whoever fed the llamas sprouts and prunes for lunch. The ensuing wind required lifted grandmajets Marilyn skirt right over her head.......and blew the talc bags right out of Luigi’s hands and scattered the contents all over Pigs Trotter Alley. Luigi and his companions are trying to pick up some of it but it’s covered in pigs swill. We are saved ?

Doodle Fri 05-Mar-21 21:38:28

Party time. Who’s next on the karaoke. ?

AGAA4 Fri 05-Mar-21 21:43:00

As I am Elizabeth I it has to be Queen 'we are the champions my friend'

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 21:48:53

I’ve been practising Diamonds are a Girl’s best friend! Or is it pizzas?

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 21:56:53

Or.doughnuts?
Doughnuts are a Girl’s Best Friend.

ixion Fri 05-Mar-21 22:07:42

Have just had a Hawaian.
Gorgeous.

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 22:32:27

Deep or thin and crispy?

ixion Fri 05-Mar-21 22:35:42

New York style.

grandmajet Fri 05-Mar-21 22:38:39

Sounds exotic, but enjoyable.
? All I am saying, Is Give Pizza a Chance, ??

Doodle Fri 05-Mar-21 23:25:54

ixion Trust you to be boasting of your sexual conquests again. That chap in the floral T shirt comes from Grimsby anyway not Hawaii. ?

ixion Sat 06-Mar-21 08:50:14

Don't believe you Doodle - you're just JEALOUS.
You don't get those lei (see, I am learning the lingo already) in Grimsby.
He is taking me "home" today -will send a postcard.

(Flounces off - like many before me........)
