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.

Looks like we managed to get out unscathed again but Reggie may not have us back after the fine.
grandmajet The A & E, where you are on the IOW, is full of people suffering from shock and worse.
Maybe time to beat a hasty retreat. Sam is feeling better after his nap and tablets.

grandmajet Sat 20-Mar-21 16:19:31

Sam’s decided to stay here at his Mum’s but she won’t let me in - muttering something about half-dressed hussy! Cheek!
Not to be downhearted I managed to stow away on a ferry to the mainland and have hitched a lift with a nice guy called Eddie Stobart who has promised to drop me at home. He said I can pay in kind - I am very kind so that’s good.
See you soon, I’m enjoying munching on his Yorkie!

AGAA4 Sat 20-Mar-21 16:44:20

You are well rid of Sam. Abandoning you to stay at his mum's.
Stick with Eddie. He is going places.
The Argy is too quiet. Thor and I swam ashore and then used our tandem to get back.
We have found the llamas very drunk in the cellar. All the poteen I made for next week is gone and several bottles of brandy. They really are the giddy limit. Well they certainly are giddy.

We are either rehearsing our Tiller Girls routine for The Wedding, or resting up after the exertion these days.

Any idea what next Friday will bring? Need to get in the groove as I think they say?

Surely Doodle and GG have surfaced by now?
Tell her he's needed back home for the school run on Monday?

Doodle Sat 20-Mar-21 20:23:37

I’m here ixion. Not sure GG will be up to the school run on Monday, he can barely stand at the moment. No stamina. I’ve promised to make him a quick cuppa.......do you think he wants tea or coffee ?
Who’s got any ideas for Friday, I’m too tired think at the moment.

ixion Sat 20-Mar-21 21:03:16

Sounds more like you both need something stiff.
A scotch, maybe?

Have you done Musicals previously?

Doodle Sat 20-Mar-21 21:17:50

Can’t remember. I’m up for it. Cats perhaps. I have a lovely pussy ?‍⬛

lemongrove Sat 20-Mar-21 21:21:52

We’re on our way to Ivory Coast, Reggie says he has business there, and goods to collect.Just to say we had a marvellous party thanks girls, and I will let you know the wedding date the moment I pin Reggie down?
Meanwhile... have fun, and don’t forget to see Moneybags Mike in a few weeks if you want to renew the lease.
Cheers ?

grandmajet Sat 20-Mar-21 22:47:11

So glad to be back safe and sound in the Argy, that was a bumpy ride. I think Eddie and I have different ideas of what kindness is!
Have I missed Lemongrove? What a shame, I’m glad they enjoyed their party.
Yay, musicals! Tell me more, tell me more!

Doodle Sun 21-Mar-21 20:16:19

Don’t worry grandmajet if I know lemon she’ll be back soon. She can’t bear to be away from the Argy for too long.
I’m still recovering from being seasick. I think this Friday we should do something in dry land.
Are we doing musicals?

ixion Sun 21-Mar-21 20:48:40

Well, grandmajet is, by the looks of it?
Still browsing my extensive range of videocassettes before I choose mine.

grandmajet Mon 22-Mar-21 08:29:52

If I’m Sandy, who can be my Danny? Is Vlad up for the job, do you think? Could he be the one that I want? You, ooh, ooh, ooh, honey, the one I need?

ixion Mon 22-Mar-21 09:30:25

I'm contemplating something from Guys and Dolls
Plenty of guys in the Argy (so I'm led to believe but still looking) and my doll's not seen the light of day for a while.

grandmajet Mon 22-Mar-21 10:05:26

You may need to get the feather duster out to give your doll back it’s sparkle, ixion, if you want to attract some guys to join you.

AGAA4 Mon 22-Mar-21 15:56:55

West Side Story for me. The Sharks and the Jets. Plenty of rival gangs round the Argy. I will give a rendition of "Maria, I once met a girl called Mar - ee -ah"

grandmajet Mon 22-Mar-21 17:17:05

Will you be a Shark or a Jet, Aga? Don’t be the one who gets shot, I’m sure that’s not in your plan!
I’m trying on some black leather Sandy trousers - I may never get them off again!

AGAA4 Mon 22-Mar-21 19:52:35

He was the one who sang Maria so I will sing 'I feel pretty' instead. Lots of vaseline on the legs and those tight trousers will just slide off.

grandmajet Mon 22-Mar-21 20:04:46

Yes, a good song for you. We can all join in that one!
The trousers are already on and stuck - I’ll just have to wait until I lose some weight, they’ll come off soon enough then.

Doodle Mon 22-Mar-21 20:35:52

I’m going to come as Donna in Mamma Mia. I’ve got a pair of dungarees. Who will I get to play my love interest?

grandmajet Mon 22-Mar-21 22:30:31

I think I saw Mr Darcy hiding in the cellar, Doodle - he’ll do nicely.

AGAA4 Tue 23-Mar-21 15:46:37

It is very dimly lit in the cellar and I think you may have thought Gnasher was Mr Darcy. Easy mistake to make as there is a likeness.
Doodle may have to put up with Colin Firth. As long as he doesn't sing.

ixion Tue 23-Mar-21 16:53:29

Does doodle have some kind of aura ?
She gets all the decent blokes (well, two at least, to my knowledge)

AGAA4 Tue 23-Mar-21 16:57:13

Haven't you noticed ixion she elbows us all out of the way if a handsome man appears.

Doodle Tue 23-Mar-21 19:09:38

I have my elbows professionally sharpened don’t you know. ?
I don’t think it’s Mr Darcy, a llama or Colin Firth.....I think it’s the Gas man .......any port in a storm ?

AGAA4 Tue 23-Mar-21 19:37:48

Quite a few gas men, plumbers etc have gone missing after coming to the Argy
