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.

Now, there's a word we should add to your thread, grandmajet

grandmajet Sun 14-Mar-21 14:40:39

Nice and tasteful, don’t you think?

ixion Sun 14-Mar-21 15:02:14

Er, hasn't the Admiral got a dicky ticker?

I wouldn't wear those outfits within a nautical mile of Rich Reggie, if I were you.
Not if you want to keep lemongrove onside, as it were.

I could tell you a thing or two about our friend RR that'd shivers yer timbers

grandmajet Sun 14-Mar-21 15:35:55

Ok. I’ll tone it down with a sparkly garter.

lemongrove Sun 14-Mar-21 15:52:33

I love Euston Station AGA ......had many brief encounters there.That’s when I remembered to wear briefs, anyway.
Am liking the ideas for pressies ( so far) especially the musical toilet seat....can we have two? Reggie has had matching loos installed side by side, thrones indeed, gold plated ( we are thinking of doing tours and charging to see them.)
As for the tiara....I already have one crown as R says ‘whatever Lemon wants, Lemon gets!’?

grandmajet Sun 14-Mar-21 17:18:39

Do we have to choose the songs for the musical toilet seat? How about

Poo Glorious Poo!

Or Poops, I Did It Again!

Any more suggestions?

grandmajet Sun 14-Mar-21 17:19:46

Maybe not what Lemon had in mind, more Handel’s Water Music?

ixion Sun 14-Mar-21 19:28:05

Staying with the classical theme, Debussy's Jet d'Eau?

??IMHO, rather incongruous for a couple with an eye for gold-plated lavs??

grandmajet Sun 14-Mar-21 19:33:04

Orinoco Flow?
Combines sailing and ‘flow’.

Or, to stick with the yacht theme, I Am Sailing, by Rod Stewart.

Doodle Sun 14-Mar-21 20:20:38

Will you be on your thrones when you have visitors shown round lemon ?
How about Splish splash by Bobby Darin for the music ?

grandmajet Sun 14-Mar-21 20:30:13

Perfect, Doodle.
Do we need a different tune for each one?

Doodle Sun 14-Mar-21 20:32:07

How about AC/DC Thunder for lemon ?

lemongrove Sun 14-Mar-21 20:35:17

Am saving splish splash for when I’m having a bath Doodle
But ‘I Am Sailing’ is classy at all times.?⛵️?⚓️
I will leave it to you girls, as I know you have impeccable taste
( lessness) haha.
Pay a visit to Madame PomPom down by the gasworks, or Sexy Sadie on Jack Tar Road this week and get kitted out with some blingy sailing togs.RR says you can send the bill to him.

ixion Mon 15-Mar-21 14:13:46

Hmmmm.
I get the strong impression, lemon, that your Reggie thinks we might let the side down on Friday by appearing to be your poor relations ?
When we can travel abroad again and we open up our humble chalet in Verbiers to you all, we wouldn't dream of offering to foot the bill for your skiing apparel.

We are all 'of a generation' here and work wonders with sows' ears, fear not!

AGAA4 Mon 15-Mar-21 15:37:35

Sows ears ixion? I thought they were for the punters lunch tomorrow.
lemon are you still bathing in champagne? There seem to be huge vats of it going on board when you are quayside. Or is it all for us? - hopefully wink

Doodle Mon 15-Mar-21 19:02:54

Thanks lemon. I for one will be more than happy to raid Reggie’s pockets and splash out on an outfit at Madame Pom-poms. She has a very fetching number in the window I have had my eye on for a while (Hope Reggie’s got deep pockets ?)

ixion Mon 15-Mar-21 19:05:25

Have just popped by and dropped some trotters into the poteen AGA to augment the sows' ears for you.

grandmajet Mon 15-Mar-21 19:13:19

I’ve seen just the thing in Madame Pom-pom’s, in several different colours. I fancy a scarlet one. I’m happy for Reggie to foot the bill. ( after all, we are pushing the boat out airhead the presents)

grandmajet Mon 15-Mar-21 19:14:09

(Guess who’s just learnt to screenshot)

grandmajet Mon 15-Mar-21 19:14:51

I don’t know where airhead came from?!

grandmajet Tue 16-Mar-21 14:30:32

I ordered a toilet seat, gold plated, which played Sailing. The one that’s arrived plays Row Row Row the Boat!
D’you think they’ll notice? Have I time to change it?

AGAA4 Tue 16-Mar-21 15:44:57

Row Row Row the Boat
Gently down the Stream

Just right grandmajet don't change it.

It could have been much worse "Bridge over troubled Water" Yikes!

ixion Tue 16-Mar-21 16:17:05

Or, put it in the Crew's lavs?
The workers?

AGAA4 Tue 16-Mar-21 16:27:20

Thank you for the trotters ixion. I just wish they wouldn't keep floating to the top.

grandmajet Tue 16-Mar-21 16:29:07

Should we provide party bags do you think?
A mini bottle of poteen, a sow’s ear and a loo roll?
