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.

The plates are here if you feel like smashing a few ( I’m not clearing up the mess though.)
Karaoke time! Me up first as befits my status?
Mama Mia.....here I go again! My My..... how can I resist ya ??????

The Admiral is over there AGA he seems to have his hands full.... he has them locked around Lisa I think she’s pulled!
Don’t I look gorgeous? Shall I give you a twirl? Ooooooohhhhh, I shouldn’t have done that after eight cocktails (Zeus and Hera’s)?I think they are clashing with the whelks I ate earlier.

I like these Ari’s Avocados. Very moreish. I feel a bit under-dressed tonight. I ought to have made more of an effort. Wasn’t at all sure what to wear for the best ... it’s all Greek to me. Do you think I look okay?

Doodle Fri 29-Jan-21 20:43:14

Talking about tragedy, where’s our resident strumpet tonight?
Lisa where are you? Not resting your jugs on the bar again are you. It’ll collapse under the weight soon.
Laura I need food to soak up all these cocktails. Stuffed vine you say......don’t mind if I do....interesting method of keeping them warm......I’d better have one from each side JanetG ...just to keep you on an even keel ?

JanetG Fri 29-Jan-21 20:42:12

Runneth. Spell check haunts me even in this satanic place.

JanetG Fri 29-Jan-21 20:41:33

Thank you Laura. My cups runners over. I’m looking forward to your duet with Aga. I’m tone deaf so it will sound good.

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 20:41:09

When does the plate smashing start?

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 20:30:35

The feeling has gone from my legs after a few of those.

LauraNorder Fri 29-Jan-21 20:18:14

AGA join me in a Greek Tragedy and we could do a duet with ?tragedy, if the feelings gone and you can’t go on tragedy?

LauraNorder Fri 29-Jan-21 20:15:52

JanetG when I said stuff the vines, I didn’t mean into your bra although that 36FF suits you.

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 20:12:57

Vlad and Franz have added to the cocktail menu with Greek Tragedy. Ouzo poteen brandy vodka whisky and paracetamol.

JanetG Fri 29-Jan-21 19:55:35

Another Aristotle’s Avocado over here please. The furniture polish has given me a lovely sheen.....

ixion Fri 29-Jan-21 19:40:40

I hear too, on the grape vine, that Ariadne will be along, checking up on her tbreads.

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 19:38:45

Has she got a twin. I can see 2 of her. Pass me another cocktail please. No I haven't already had ten. Have I?

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 19:33:41

Hide all barmen. That strumpet Ivana Mann has just sashayed in.

LauraNorder Fri 29-Jan-21 18:51:34

Plato’s Philosophy for me please while I can still say it.
I’ve hidden the best plates in the cellar, wishing everyone a smashing night.
Another Plato’s Pis....Phiso,..,,Phisopholy.,,,hic

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 18:48:44

Talking of Old Peculiar where is the Admiral?

Doodle Fri 29-Jan-21 18:29:42

With your cocktail little Greek Thrush, may I suggest antibiotics would help.
Has anyone seen my brand new bloomers. I put them on the bar while I was getting ready and they vanished.
AGA that’s a nice outfit. The patten looks so familiar.
BigBertha care to join me at the bar? I think I’ll have a Ginger beer and Persia please.

lemongrove Fri 29-Jan-21 17:24:39

Great Laura we can get blotto and clear up any health probs at the same time??????
New cocktails now lined up on the bar ( the bar never closes until very late, and opens very early) so help yourselves.
Little Greek Thrush and....
Aristotle’s Avocado.....a tasty mix of Ammaretto, gin, mashed avocado and furniture polish ( the posh stuff from Lakeland)
Zeus and Hera........a heady heavenly mix of ouzo,poteen,
Ginger beer and Persil ( cleans you inside and out)
Plato’s Philosophy..... a calming and innovative brew of Old Peculiar beer, pernod, elderflower fizz and a splash of bleach.
Enjoy!????

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 17:20:38

Ask for Franz. You will be amazed what he does with his cocktails.

Urmstongran Fri 29-Jan-21 17:16:37

Hi everyone I’m really looking forward to this Greek Nite special. I’ve never been to Greece so I’m not sure what to expect. Culture?

I’ll head over to the bar and see if one of the hunky barmen will pour me a cocktail. It’s really something in here tonight isn’t it? Someone’s been busy. Not me.

The buffet is underway, the hummus is humming due to out of date ingredients, the pita bread is pitted due to roadworks outside. The eggplant dip is not as good as it should be since the sous chef threw a dozen boiled eggs in, just can’t get the staff.
The Greek salad looks amazing thank you Lemon and will be perfect with the vinaigrette which contains lemon juice, minced gargle, mustard and bits of paper. Sous chef again, I said oregano not origami.
The new kitchen roll is not the best even though it’s called Abzorba.
My cocktail Little Greek Thrush consists of ouzo, white wine and canestan.

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 15:42:43

BigBertha1 the bar is always open. I have pored you a pint of ouzo.

AGAA4 Fri 29-Jan-21 15:41:15

Who let Pythagoras in here. He is boring everyone talking about his theorem.
Sorry lemon it was me who brought Gnasher to the Argy all those years ago. I had ordered a gold lame outfit and they sent me a llama. Now there are four of them.
I will be Athena. I have made my dress out of a pair of Doodle's old bloomers. I hope they were old? blush

BigBertha1 Fri 29-Jan-21 15:26:15

Its Friday night (almost) which used to be Music Night but now its cocktails chez moi apart from 'he who should be sainted'. Its only 3.25 is the bar open?
