Service as usual in the Argy folks but with the addition of our new roof top tea garden. In the words of the famous Basil Fawlty, no riffraff. ?

Yay So very sorry, lemon , but I did always say he was a bad 'un.
Don't worry, brook knows all about the DIR.
We will tip them off and they will throw the book at him for undeclared taxes, no prob.

Reggie did himself no favours by coming to the Argy and getting together with May Hem. Did he think AB 12 wouldn't be onto him?
Pity about my bridesmaid's dress. They are not easy to find in gold and a size 72 hip.
Reggie has been tearfully asking where lemon has gone but we are sworn to silence by the spies code.

The wedding is off!! angry I have given Reggie his marching orders and removed ( for it’s safety) the diamonds and gold bullion from the safe on the yacht.
Reggie is a bigamist several times over, he has a wife in every port! If you see him around here again phone Inland Revenue,
They have been after him for years.
Sorry girls, about the bridesmaids thing, have to put that idea on ice for a while.
Am off to Jersey for a while until things quieten down, I have a little hideaway pad there.?

I like the suggestion on the latest crop of 'dodgy discussions' here that these might, in fact, be some sort of secret code.
In order to rally the AB12 troops to the next assignment or to coordinate our activities, maybe we should have similar (tho preferably NOT in Vietnamese)?

Peashooter recovered. I put it in the dishwasher with the tearoom cutlery, so it should be fine. I couldn’t find any peas though.
Should lemon be asking us to investigate RR? Only a week to the wedding; is he just after her to get his hands on the Argy with it’s multiple income streams. We’d all be, er, obliged to him for our jobs!

ixion Sat 24-Apr-21 09:30:20

I think we need to splash out on some CCTV cameras - apparently they are all the rage now and what the best-led establishments have.

Apparently, RR has been making a nuisance of himself at the hot tub again last night while we were on covert surveillance (correct paperwork in hand).
He is now demanding a reduced price season ticket/Frequent Flyer status.
I told May about calling out Lemon's name, but it was very - er - half hearted.

Brilliant work team.
Did anyone manage to capture a picture of Scarlet and 007 on the chocolate Brownie?
Grandmajet did you come across that pea shooter in the chicken before you swallowed it or do we have to we have to wait for evidence to ....emerge later??

grandmajet Fri 23-Apr-21 22:24:31

Don’t worry about the chicken. I’ve disposed of the evidence. (Yum)

brook2704 Fri 23-Apr-21 22:08:14

We’re raking it in so hush hush about the chicken..

AGAA4 Fri 23-Apr-21 21:58:06

Good work. The chopper will rise about 3 feet, start feeling dizzy and plummet to earth.

ixion Fri 23-Apr-21 21:55:00

Inland Revenue department brook?
We're not claiming the chicken as expenses. Are we?

ixion Fri 23-Apr-21 21:52:00

Shhh?
I took the liberty of filling up the chopper earlier.
With poteen.

Watch this space?

brook2704 Fri 23-Apr-21 21:48:11

Wow what a struggle but it’s done ... I’ve got the peri peri and the fries, we’ll need all the evidence for the DIR

AGAA4 Fri 23-Apr-21 21:40:18

I am racing along on my scooter but my left leg is getting tired. I have to stop Bond's helicopter. Or go with him.

ixion Fri 23-Apr-21 21:39:47

Demand they handover the peri peri brook
Doodle's fading away, bless her

brook2704 Fri 23-Apr-21 21:33:47

I’m still hiding in the bushes with my infra red binoculars.. I’ll jump out when the delivery van is near and intercept ...

grandmajet Fri 23-Apr-21 21:22:57

We must intercept the order. ( I love peri peri chicken), and turn the tables on her. Or the shooter.

ixion Fri 23-Apr-21 21:11:24

There's something fishy going on here.
The only call has been outgoing to Nando's.
I think this is some kind of code Scarlet has devised - slip in a shooter in the peri peri chicken and a spare uniform.
Order pudding, then walk out to delivery van, bold as brass, and off to rendezvous with Bond's chopper.

BTW, I've never seen M up a telegraph pole.....

Doodle Fri 23-Apr-21 20:51:36

Hang on a minute grandmajet I’m setting up spy central in the cellar. I have a microscope .......or is it a microwave ? I’m not sure. Got talc and mixed some soot in it for the black powder like they have on the TV and some of AGA’s eyeshadow brushes. All set for action.
ixion any action in the phone tap yet?

grandmajet Fri 23-Apr-21 20:21:01

I’m back with the evidence bag. Ready with the fingerprint kit doodle. Is it just some talcum powder and a brush? I have hairs off the sheets too, definitely Scarlet’s. Or is it Gnasher’s? He may have snuggled into the sheets for a moment or two.....

AGAA4 Fri 23-Apr-21 19:56:49

She is loaded and will pay well to nab the philandering, useless .......

AGAA4 Fri 23-Apr-21 19:52:07

The pink hat lady is paying us to watch her husband
She thinks he only married her for her money

ixion Fri 23-Apr-21 19:15:03

I have tapped the line, hence the swaying.
If she calls 007, we'll be the first to hear about it.

If we lose track of them, we can get them in Thailand in its special Covid quarantine facility.
BTW, who's paying us for this assignment?

Doodle Fri 23-Apr-21 18:44:42

Pssst grandmajet put the bed sheets in an evidence bag.
I’ve been to purchase a fingerprint kit from the local I spy shop.
Mrs Green has got a fake passport. It’s her photo but her name is Miss Goldfinger. She’s got tickets for a flight to Thailand for her and a Mr Bond. Pussy I think you need to check this out. Mrs Green may have done away with Mr Green so she could go off with Mr Bond. Intrigue.....
I have left the Admiral in charge of the Argy bar tonight. Thor is wowing the ladies in the Tea room. May Hem is ...........arousing the folks in the spa. Money is coming in gang.
