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.

I’ve been up half the night sticking diamantés on to my itsy bitsy teeny weeny bikini ready to pose, smile and assist in a glamorous manner.

lemongrove Wed 03-Feb-21 23:40:17

Yes ixion but all the right terminology for what profession?
Are you another hanger around lamp posts shouting at sailors like Doodle ?
Who else has already got a costume for Friday?

AGAA4 Wed 03-Feb-21 20:47:13

Urms can come and help with the brewing. Thor is busy making my wizard outfit. It's a kinda magic.

ixion Wed 03-Feb-21 20:45:08

Service!
Up to the pass!
Plating up.
See,I know all the professional terminology.

How many covers do you do each night?

LauraNorder Wed 03-Feb-21 20:30:47

Your outfit sounds amazing Lemon. You are such a wonderful and accommodating boss. I have licked your boots until they shine ...,,,,,,,,,please may I have ixion as my sous chef, I know you gave me Urms but no offence #lazygran says it all! Didn’t even get a SOAP dish.
Those llama nuggets rolled in sawdust went down well at lunchtime, I let the Admiral wave his wand over them..... nuff said

AGAA4 Wed 03-Feb-21 20:20:58

Someone has snaffled my luscious lime bloomers. Thor said I looked like a fluorescent cucumber so I have toned it down and bought Torrid Tangerine.

ixion Wed 03-Feb-21 19:58:12

Oh no, thin dog is special.
Chappie only for her.
I think she may be getting some nice knitted blankets from well wishers at this rate.

muse Wed 03-Feb-21 19:21:09

ixion. Wellies were never the same after I put them in the dishwasher. Look what I got! They'll go great with my new Leathers.

Are we having a raffle this Friday lemongrove? Just dug up my prize turnip.

Lisagran Wed 03-Feb-21 18:58:59

Really, lemongrove? And leave myself knickerless? Oh, alright then grin

Lisagran Wed 03-Feb-21 18:56:06

But Doodle it’s chilly in the alley; I’ll get cold round the back. Mind you, I do like a man in uniform......

lemongrove Wed 03-Feb-21 18:54:13

Those are my black silk with silver stars bloomers! Give them back this minute! angry They’re to wear under my gown.

Doodle Wed 03-Feb-21 18:52:58

Lisa I’ve told you before, if you’re going to turn tricks you have to do it out in Pigs Trotter Alley. The rozzers are always sniffing around here to see if we’re misbehaving.

Lisagran Wed 03-Feb-21 17:59:01

LauraNorder

Lisa is on the way, clear the bar for her jugs.

Thank you, Laura. Just popping in to practice turning a few tricks. I’ll have a ‘Rabbit out of a Hat’ cocktail, but lose the tail if you know what I mean. Plenty of ice.

lemongrove Wed 03-Feb-21 17:28:45

By Jove! That Chappie smells good, maybe chef ( Laura) could make us a pie?
I have made up some food parcels to take away and some flasks of poteen and brandy.A shilling a food parcel please!

I have ordered my costume for Friday....a voluminous gown in black silk with silver stars on it....think of the stuff I could hide underneath it!

AGAA4 Wed 03-Feb-21 15:15:54

Rules? The coffee is good here thanks to George but beware the 'bacon' butties. Some ferrets have disappeared lately.

The First aid kit is still here. She has snuggled up to the thin dog. She has a small keg of milk round her neck for emergencies although most at the Argy would need a massive St Bernard with a large keg of any alcohol round his neck.

dragonfly46 Wed 03-Feb-21 10:35:56

I heard bacon butties and coffee was on offer here to take away of course don't want to be breaking any rules!

grandmajet Wed 03-Feb-21 10:22:23

I have my tartan shopping trolley handy

grandmajet Wed 03-Feb-21 10:20:42

I’m off back to the sit-in. Do you want me to take anything?

ixion Wed 03-Feb-21 10:12:33

Crate of 'Chappie' on its way for the gentle thin dog snoozing by the fire. And oblivious to all the love being poured on her and her mistress.
PS Keep the llamas off, svp

lemongrove Wed 03-Feb-21 10:03:54

In that case grandmajet you will fit in here seemlessly.

grandmajet Wed 03-Feb-21 09:59:02

A coffee would be lovely Lemongrove. I fell asleep by the fire last night and when I woke the sit-in had disappeared into a black hole it seems. Then I got lost trying to find my way home - we need a map of gransnet on all the street corners - and spotted the Argy graffiti.
I may be a bit whiffy after a night in a sleeping bag.

lemongrove Wed 03-Feb-21 09:30:20

Sorry! Fell asleep early at the bar.....woke up at 3a.m falling off my bar stool, otherwise I would have rushed over to ‘the other place’ (no, not Cambridge!) but to the sit -in.....with a barrel of our best poteen ( the good matured stuff.....three days in t’barrel.) Too late now, but why don’t you all come over here for a while? We have the Nespresso machine cafe
Even if George has fled our nest.

Doodle Tue 02-Feb-21 21:49:01

Pittcity we don’t tape our ducks up here. That’s cruel.

You’ll be wanting to chain up our llamas next ?

lemon there’s a number of the Argy gang having a sit in on another thread. Please send over a barrel of poteen to keep us going through the night.

ixion Tue 02-Feb-21 21:16:33

? ????
Is Muse around with her wellies?
I have put a thick carpet of sawdust down (sorry if it was for those dumplings tomorrow lunchtime) and will leave it for Hercules to shovel up in the morning.
Going for a quick snifter and a lie down; it's been a rollercoaster few days.:

LauraNorder Tue 02-Feb-21 21:10:44

Duck tape Pittcity what a quacking idea
