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.

Bit of a bling fest here, n'est ce pas?
And that's just the chaps?
They would give the TOWIE crowd a run for its money any day.
RR is the original Medallion Man?

And where's my fresh cream svp?
Naughty but nice, that's me

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 19:24:51

You look wonderful ixion, but your cream’s slipped a bit. Maybe time to put some clothes on!
I’ve been winkle picking with Jolly Jack Tar, he’s very nimble with his pin, I was afraid he was going to bend it.

Doodle Fri 19-Mar-21 19:32:28

Trust you gramajet. Has he shown you his cockles yet?

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 19:39:43

He’s a bit shy about his cockles, I’ll get a bit more poteen into him!
Doesn’t Lemon look happy - she and RR are thrilled with our presents, they keep disappearing into the loo to try them out. At least, that’s what they say they’re doing!

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 19:46:12

Sorry Doodle. You don't look like a bloater but maybe ditch Charlie overboard. There are richer pickings on board. He is a bit fishy.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 19:53:02

Jolly Jack is showing his winkles to everyone. And his pin!

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 19:57:41

And I thought I was special!
Never mind, plenty more fish in the sea. Seafaring Sam has been giving me the eye, and muttering about running me up his rigging, whatever that means.
Did ixion get out of the cake? We’ve popped all the poppers, she should be clear of the butter cream by now.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 20:01:51

There is a very able looking able seaman eyeing you up grandmajet. Throw Jolly Jack overboard.

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 20:08:00

We’re too late, he’s showing Doodle his pin now!

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 20:09:34

I don't think that lemon and RR are benefiting totally from our gifts?‍♀️
I just heard her announcing that she's going up on to the poop deck?

Who brought the Admiral?
Haven't seen Thor since he introduced himself to Medallion Men. Think he's found his true station in life. Sadly.

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 20:12:04

He may need First Aid maybe lemon aid.

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 20:17:53

Or her brother Lucaz?

Doodle Fri 19-Mar-21 20:35:55

Ooh is Lucaz here. I quite like him. Got a bubbly personality. You would have thought lemon would be used to the sea life now without having to go on the poop deck ?

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 20:41:07

Is Lucaz the bubbly guy with the shiny orange jacket? He looks very tasty.

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 20:51:15

Yup, that's the one.
Brought his patched up brother, Band.

Are the love birds circulating?
Quite a few PDAs have been noted.

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 21:10:31

Oh, band, he’s really cute, but a bit sticky!

I haven’t seen the happy couple for a while, I hope they didn’t fall into the hole in the cake.

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 21:16:35

Oh we are absolutely thrilled to bits with our pressies! It makes going to the loo so worthwhile!
Dear Reggie does like his bling it’s true ( it’s why he loves me) but at heart he’s just a rover ( wuff wuff!) never happier than when he’s splicing the mainbrace and racing ahead of the wind ( provided by me)?
You all look marvellous I must say, but why is Doodle draped over the side of the yacht?

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

I think she had too many of Jack’s winkles, Lemon. He was sharing them out a bit too much.

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 21:20:55

The cake was a big hit alright, I thought Reggie was going to fall over when Ixion popped out ( or at least her bazooms did!) He clutched his dicky ticker and went a bit green around the gills, but we appreciate all the effort.Thanks AGA for getting him a brandy so swiftly.

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 21:23:06

Poor Doodle, a seaman's winkles are not to be trifled with lightly, nor his cockles, come to that, there’s always a price to be paid ( how much did you pay him btw?)

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 21:29:03

I think Seafaring Sam has fallen for me, he says my eyes are like deep pools.....

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 21:31:34

Oh, look everyone - fireworks!
Such happiness?

Hang on a mo - they're not Golden Rain at all.
They're distress flares - the Admiral's been rummaging below decks. Searching for those stashed bottles of rum, doubtless.

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 21:37:25

Time for the Hornpipe anyone?

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 21:37:31

As for doodle in 'draped' mode, I heard the Admiral whispering in her ear something about 'kissing the gunner's daughter'.
Her dad's not in the Royal Artillery, is he?.

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 21:40:39

I heard that her Dad was a powder monkey ( that explains her passion for bananas)⚓️??????
