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.

Fair enough. I’ll put a hat on.

My friend in the IOW messaged me this morning grandmajet.
Apparently you are creating quite a stir...
(This may be construed as excitement for the Islanders).

Can you not cover up in something?
Please?

grandmajet Sat 20-Mar-21 11:02:34

Well, lemon is absolutely right, but I always wanted to visit the Isle of Wight. Sam is exhausted from all the rowing so I’m off to explore on my own. Getting a few strange looks from the locals as I wander about in my fishnets and bikini top.

Look after George, Doodle. Does that mean the nespresso will be back on?

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 23:02:01

He'll need to come up for air sometime, doodle.

Doodle Fri 19-Mar-21 22:55:50

You can leave those hatches battened lemon he can’t escape me now ?????

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 22:52:26

'S OK, lemon, they threw the packets over and I just threw them back.
Wasn't netball captain for nothing (c.1949).

It's been a lovely evening. Sparkling company, charming hosts.

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 22:46:36

Gorgeous George is in the bilges with Doodle I have battened down the hatches until the morning.

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 22:44:51

grandmajet be very careful, Seafaring Sam hasn’t been further than the Isle Of Wight on a sunny day.Hold onto your ha’penny.

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 22:43:15

Quick! Hide in the golden loos Ixion ( flush them first!)

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 22:40:35

It's lovely how people are coming to the quayside to gawp admire the jeunesse dorée. Such a thrill for them.

They are offering us gifts, how sweet!

Little silver wraps - party bags?
Oh lor', it's Luigi and his boys.
Quick, does this floating palace have lifeboats we can hide in?

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 22:32:19

What a wonderful party, sorry about the fine. It’s nothing for Rich Reggie tho is it? He is so generous with his millions.

Seafaring Sam is taking me for a row in his skiff - he wants to gaze into my eyes under the moonlight.
Wish me luck!

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 22:12:11

The coastguard guys have clambered aboard and are dancing and eating all the canapes, but the lifeboatmen are annoyed with us for letting off our flares without due cause and have fined Reggie £200!?

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 22:09:21

More like immoral support Ixion har har?

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 22:03:50

Poor Doodle. We’ve all been fooled by Jack’s winkles, he’s very persistent with them.
Come and dance the Hornpipe with ixion, her legs are twiddling very fast now.

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 22:01:15

Nerves, lemon?
Surely not? Would you like us to hang around a little longer?Bit of moral support??

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 21:54:28

After the tinkle ( caused by nerves!) I can certainly tickle the ivories.... but sadly cannot play the piano! Not that we have one anyway, although Reggie has a harmonica somewhere and likes to blow his own trumpet.

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 21:53:24

I'm just limbering up for the Hornpipe, acksherly.
I've not performed it in public since I took to the stage at the Last Night of the Proms (c.1958).

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 21:47:44

Give us a song, ixion.
A Life on the Ocean Wave?

Doodle Fri 19-Mar-21 21:47:33

? never again.?

ixion Fri 19-Mar-21 21:44:57

Oh, lovely.
You've got a piano! Fab.

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 21:43:47

Ooh I love a coastguard. Big helmets.

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 21:43:41

I feel a quick tinkle coming on....

lemongrove Fri 19-Mar-21 21:42:55

Oh the naughty Admiral, what careless hands he has! Now all our flares have been used up and the coastguard and the lifeboatmen will all be here in a few minutes.....hmmmm, maybe we can interest them in a few drinks and cuddles?

AGAA4 Fri 19-Mar-21 21:42:41

Here comes the coast guard. In trouble yet again.

grandmajet Fri 19-Mar-21 21:41:53

I think we need to put The Admiral in the long boat till he’s sober. Early in the morning!
He’s causing all sorts of problems. Although the flares were very pretty!
Have Lemon and RR gone to try the presents again?
