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.

OK.
I will work on my special turn Sawing the lady in half.

Sadly Janet flew out of the horse’s bottom with such force that she slipped on a stolen stuffed vineleaf and bumped her head. Was that me? Memory is somewhat hazy but I’m sure scrubbing is involved.

Doodle Sat 30-Jan-21 20:29:26

Magic night for me too. I will come as Madame FuFu of the Crystal Ball. I shall set up a tent in the corner of the Argy and tell fortunes ......cross my palm with silver...and you’ll be poorer ?

Doodle Sat 30-Jan-21 20:30:49

Oh poor Janet . Welcome grandmajet are you coming to Magic Nite?

lemongrove Sat 30-Jan-21 20:31:38

Hard to say grandmajet .....there are so many scrubbers in The Argy, could have been anyone.
Still, it keeps the place sparkling in many ways.
Are we fixed on Magic Nite then for Friday? Who’s coming as Tommy Cooper? I have a Turkish fez somewhere I could lend out.

Ah, my dear dad's favourite

'I don't know who you are, but your Fez is familiar'

(Boom boom, if she who cannot be named isn't back)

LauraNorder Sat 30-Jan-21 21:38:48

When you’ve pulled that rabbit out of the hat I’ll have it for the stew,

LauraNorder Sat 30-Jan-21 21:46:32

Janet thinks she’s a magician, she’s just turned the horse into a tree

grandmajet Sat 30-Jan-21 21:47:20

Be careful with the spoons, I can be a bit Uri Geller after a few cocktails.

Pittcity Sat 30-Jan-21 22:01:28

A magic night! Now where's my abracada-bra?

LauraNorder Sat 30-Jan-21 22:28:27

Your silk bra is under the bar where you left it last night Pittcity.
The cotton one is in the llama, he spat out the hooks.
No idea where your abracada bra is

LauraNorder Sat 30-Jan-21 22:31:33

Grandmajet, we’re all pretty much on a permanent bender in here. That’s why you’ve fitted right in. Now don’t bend my mixing spoon or there’ll be no rat risotto for lunch tomorrow

grandmajet Sat 30-Jan-21 23:02:18

Ooh, rat risotto! Do you leave the tails on? They can be a bit stringy I’ve found.

Doodle Sat 30-Jan-21 23:49:19

grandmajet I know who you are now. You went into the Trojan horse as one person and shot out the bottom as another. ?
You could try doing that again as an act on magic nite, ?

grandmajet Sun 31-Jan-21 09:21:06

Sorry about the confusion Doodle, I’m a bit thick with technology and got in a muddle. I blame the cocktails!

Who mentioned Uri Geller? The Uri nals are in a state and all the scrubbers have hangovers.

lemongrove Sun 31-Jan-21 15:33:50

The lavs are ixion’s dept.....must admit they look in a bit of a state, but she’ll be in with her mop and bucket soon.
Am still in a semi comatose state on The Argy saggy sofa and have just discovered that the Admiral is underneath me, so it’s extra saggy.His Naval overcoat is nice and cosy though.?

lemongrove Sun 31-Jan-21 15:37:27

I only discovered him there because he was having a dream and reared up shouting ‘swab the bilges’ and ‘man overboard!’
He’ll be overboard in a minute, tipped out by moi.

AGAA4 Sun 31-Jan-21 15:54:35

Lemon I hope you will have a word with him about waving his wand about on Friday seeing as he is under you so to speak. He will be saying "open sesame" to any buxom hussy lass given half a chance.

ixion Sun 31-Jan-21 15:54:56

Ah, you haven't met my secret weapon
No - NOT than one, thank you very much?
His name is Hercules (NOT the horse, before you all launch into Argy-Witticism) and I charmed him with my singing not to leave after Greek Nite.
One look at the lavs, he says 'no bother'❤️
Apparently after cleaning out the Augean stables, this is easy peasy.

PS Why can't I be promoted? Good mind to appeal to the Greater Powers. I'm sue they'll be along sooner or later.......

Doodle Sun 31-Jan-21 20:40:21

The Admiral reared up.....I didn’t think he was capable any more ?

Doodle Sun 31-Jan-21 20:41:35

Greater powers than Lemon ixion? Who could you mean ? ?

ixion Sun 31-Jan-21 21:50:07

Whoa, any chance of a night cap?
Been ducking and diving from The Furies, lurking in the Alley from Greek Nite.

Doodle Sun 31-Jan-21 22:08:22

Sue thing Ixion. Would you like a pair of bed socks too. ?

muse Sun 31-Jan-21 22:22:51

Just managed to tear myself away and you're all off to slumberland.
ixion and Doodle Count me in. Make that three hot toddies grin
