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.

It's for The Wedding, doodle.
Let it grow for another year. Always looks pretty with daisies and buttercups looking au naturelle, as it were.

I just thought that, for some of us -er- 'less lithe' members, we will need a few months limbering up. Unless you have other suggestions for achieving the desired end.....

grandmajet Thu 18-Mar-21 21:34:37

Maybe just tug out the odd weed Doodle!

ixion Thu 18-Mar-21 21:42:20

Well, here is the proof that this thread exudes love and tolerance?
My typo- should read au naturel. You're all too kind to point it out?

Sexy Sadie sells Tiller girl outfits for the more erm curvy amongst us. I've got one in size 64 hip.

grandmajet Thu 18-Mar-21 21:50:23

No, ixion, I’m too dim to notice!

Doodle Thu 18-Mar-21 22:31:41

Me too ixion ?
I have taken your advice and instead of mowing my garden I have given it a liberal application of fertiliser (courtesy of the llamas) . It should be in full bloom in time for the wedding. Perhaps I could provide lemon with her wedding bouquet ? ?

ixion Thu 18-Mar-21 22:41:31

I have to say that I am rapidly going off this theme?.

Please can we change the subject??
?

Doodle Fri 19-Mar-21 03:13:28

I’ve got the tiaras for our dance. What do you think?
I’ve been wearing mine in the Argy and have got all the cobwebs off the ceiling ?

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 04:46:40

Excellent - a socially distanced line up for the Tiller Girls routine. Does it stay on for all those high kicks?

Where are you sourcing the birds, doodle?

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 08:10:00

I love the headgear, Doodle. I hope we don’t all fly away and end up like a bunch of bedraggled seagulls!
I’m excited to start decorating the yacht; I hope you’ve all got plenty of puff for the balloons. Maybe we could fashion some balloon llamas to remind Lemon of the Argy?

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 11:56:14

Well, the rigging is looking very festive with bunting and the mainbrace is festooned with balloons. I hope they don’t all burst if Reggie decides to splice it.
Is the poteen ready Aga, and all the scum skimmed off?
I’ve started on the nibbles, and eaten a massive hole in the middle of the cake so ixion can hide in there and pop out to the sound of hundreds of party poppers. Should be very tasteful. The cake certainly is!

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 14:55:26

Oh wow - that yacht looks a treat!
Such pretty, twinkly lights too. Just a shame they are snowmen lights, but hopefully no-one will notice.
I hope you have made a very large hole, grandmajet for me. I am unclear as to what, if anything, I should be wearing, as I emerge, chrysalis-like, from my cocoon?
Please advise.

Do you think Doodle and RR will pipe us onboard?
Can't wait to meet him at last.
(Hmm. Still bothered at this moment in time...)

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 15:59:08

It is I huge hole ixion, we can cover you with butter cream to keep you hidden so maybe just dollop some on your naughty bits as you emerge, with a dazzling smile on your face.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 16:07:49

Here I am in my emerald encrusted bikini in case I decide to have a dip. The water looks a bit brown and sludgy. Have the llamas been swimming?
grandmajet we need to make the cake into a ring shape as you have eaten all the middle. You may have to walk the plank if they notice.
ixion why are you wearing a mermaid tail and little else? You do look good btw.

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 16:19:27

I am waiting to get the dimensions of the cakehole, whence I emerge resplendent, to see whether my fin will fit?

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 16:32:40

I’m rowing over now in my dinghy to set up the buffet, give me a shove please.
Not so hard, ixion, you don’t want to fall in and wet your tail.
I’ll be back soon to get my fishnets on, ready to catch a whopper!

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 16:34:53

I'm 'in' already, grandmajet. Have you tried standing up in a bluddy fish tail???‍♀️

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 16:39:00

There seems to be more hole than cake now so the mermaid can recline there and flip her tail about. She is bound to catch something eventually.
I think I've caught the eye of one of Rich Reggie's rich friends. He bent over and caught his eye on one of the emeralds on the top bit of my bikini.

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 17:15:09

Ok ixion, we’ll smother you with butter cream now, we don’t want the surprise factor to be lost. Keep still, it won’t hurt. Stop licking it off your tail. I didn’t know you were so, er, bendy!

I’m afraid I did get a bit carried away making the hole. Just as well as ixion had to squeeze in a bit.

I picked up some bargain shellfish from Nautical Nick’s on my way here. I’m sure it’ll be fine. We can have a winkle picking competition.

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 17:16:33

AGA, I think I’ve spotted your new conquest.....the one with the eye patch?

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 17:21:11

Thor and I swam over earlier with the poteen. We picked up a cod and a bloater on the way.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 17:24:36

I didn't think I was sticking out that far grandmajet. I may have to hang a warning on there.

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 17:55:35

I wouldn’t say you’re sticking out that far, AGA, although if you keep still we could have a good game of hoopla!

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 18:25:32

There seems to be a lot of gardening chat going on?
Wow! The yacht looks great, thought we would start a happy hour, what’s on offer, any champagne going? Reggie loves my outfit, says he has fallen in love with me all over again.
Loadsa loaded guys here just looking for a gal... so strut your stuff Argies!

Doodle Fri 19-Mar-21 18:54:32

AGA how rude.?. I am not a bloater and my partner Charlie the chip man looks nothing like a cod (much)
