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.

Oh no, grandmajet - don't give anyone ideas......
Did UG bring her soap dish for the punters, AGA?

ixion Fri 12-Feb-21 20:20:48

I'll forgive you anything- but PLEASE remove the Admiral from leering over me in my recumbent state and breathing his nasty breath all over me.
Don't you have a fire extinguisher or something to revive me instead?

grandmajet Fri 12-Feb-21 20:18:38

Is ixion ok? Does she need a squirt from my squirty flower to wake her up?

grandmajet Fri 12-Feb-21 20:16:44

Sorry Doodle, you go first! Oops!

grandmajet Fri 12-Feb-21 20:16:03

I can run in front ixion, I am very fast - I am grandmaJET!

Doodle Fri 12-Feb-21 20:15:32

Come on then ixion I will do it. Give me the milk crate. Gee up Dollie. Give us a twirl ixion
That’s it Dollie. Ooh trotting now, well done.
Do you think you can manage a jump or two ixion? I will just get Dollie to jump over this bar stool and...... ixion are you ok ?

ixion Fri 12-Feb-21 20:11:58

Help - assistance needed?.
I borrowed Dollie from Mike the Milk to impress you all with my bare back riding (horse has no saddle either).
However, she won't move without following a milk crate☹️.
Could one of you kindly move around in front of us rattling this milk crate while I pirouette and generally delight all comers?
(But quickly, please! This liberty bodice is totally unsuitable for this sort of evening?)

Is doodle well oiled?

Doodle Fri 12-Feb-21 20:04:21

Gnasher, slow down, you’ll do AGA a mischief going round at that speed. Oh no! Look out Urms AGA’s heading your direction. ...........Urms are you ok ........speak to me Urms....

Urmstongran Fri 12-Feb-21 19:58:54

Ooh, a circus nite! Lucky me to call in tonight.
As it’s also the Chinese NY any firecrackers in here? No, I don’t mean you LauraNorder.

AGAA4 Fri 12-Feb-21 19:54:08

That llama is now in full gallop and I am facing the wrong way. I need something soft to land on. No not the Admiral!

Doodle Fri 12-Feb-21 19:52:35

Oh AGA sorry I didn’t realise that was you spark out with a pie on your face. How did that happen?

Doodle Fri 12-Feb-21 19:51:32

Urms we are having circus nite. I am doing line dancing llamas and being fired out of a cannon.
Trapeze acts and all sorts.
Have a pint and wait for the show to begin.
2 pints of poteen please AGA

Urmstongran Fri 12-Feb-21 19:47:53

Just popped in to see ‘what’s occurin’’ in the Argy tonight. I’m up for a bit of fun.
?

grandmajet Fri 12-Feb-21 19:42:37

My pie flinging is a bit of a disaster.
Sorry Happyme, for knocking your juggling scones off course, amazing recovery there.
Also, Aga, sorry I got you full in the face as you did your flying vault onto the trotting llama. Brilliant landing, although shouldn’t you be facing the front!

AGAA4 Fri 12-Feb-21 16:40:10

ixion they are all well over 100 so will need to be careful who is around. Good to have them near the lavs and on the ground floor.
We can have sing-songs unless the Admiral is around. Some of his sea shanties turn the air blue.
Lisagran can come as long as she wears a long dress and her jugs are discreetly hidden.

Happyme Fri 12-Feb-21 16:11:44

Glad your scones are edible AGA.....I will be using mine in my juggling act.

ixion Fri 12-Feb-21 16:03:01

Well, AGA, pleased you said it first. Have been avoiding the issue of what to call the old people without upsetting the readership (assuming we have any).
I think we should open at a lunchtime, lest there's any chance they may still be sitting around in genteel fashion when the serious entertainments start. I think they are rounded up at about 4 pm from throughout the neighbourhood and duly returned.
Can we give them that room to the left of the lavs, but away from the draughts of the cellar door and whatever lurks beyond-?
Better keep Lisagran away. At least until we have installed a hotline to the local emergency services.

AGAA4 Fri 12-Feb-21 15:40:42

ixion it is coming along well. I have a coffee machine thanks to George and a huge teapot. I have baked and frozen scones. When should we have the grand opening? You can be the hostess with the mostest and I will butter scones for the old dears.

ixion Fri 12-Feb-21 15:24:18

It sounds very mutinous out there, AGA.
How's that coffee coming along for the Cosy Caff lot?

AGAA4 Fri 12-Feb-21 15:21:46

Oh no Grandmajet the llamas after a sugar rush are completely out of control. Should be fun tonight.

AGAA4 Fri 12-Feb-21 15:19:31

I am making sausage rolls but don't have any sausages. Will have to make do with marmalade. I think it's marmalade.

Doodle I have made you a roast dinner for your flight as you may be gone for a while. I have alerted the astronomers that there may be a strange object in the sky tonight.

Grandmajet if you still have your polishing cloth handy would you give the vats a shine please.

Happyme you had the usual reaction to the poteen. It is an acquired taste but well worth persevering with.

grandmajet Fri 12-Feb-21 15:18:39

Uh oh!
Some of my custard pies have disappeared and the llamas have suspicious custardy looking moustaches. I hope their performance won’t be affected by the sugar rush, especially when Aga is doing her llama riding acrobatics. They can be a bit frisky at the best of times.

Happyme Fri 12-Feb-21 11:17:52

Oooh grandmajet I've never seen so many shiny knobs, you have been working hard. All this talk of goose with trimmings is making me peckish....will there be nibbles tonight?

Doodle Thu 11-Feb-21 23:11:12

AGA if I’m having goose and roast potatoes could I please have some gravy and Yorkshire pudding. I don’t know how far I’ll get and I might be hungry.
grandmajet I’ve never seen Lisagran’s jugs look so shiny ?

Happyme Thu 11-Feb-21 22:23:55

Just woke up from my poteen induced slumbers behind the bar. Received some coaching from that oh so tasty barman. Can now juggle two balls so may add to my act if time allows.
