The Argy Bar and Tea Room

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. ?

To avoid any hint of sexism here, perhaps bronze god Thor could fulfil the role for the Bored Housewives (BHs)?
Additional income generator??

AGAA4 Thu 22-Apr-21 16:15:20

Good idea. She is quite bright even if she is a bit er... loose in the morals area. She has escaped from a few prisons so would be useful in AB 12. She also wears the shortest skirt and lowest top in the area so will appeal to the wayward husbands.

ixion Thu 22-Apr-21 16:09:20

(Thinks?)
On the other hand, couldn't we transfer her to AB-12?
A honey trap to inveigle the errant husbands (EHs in code), and we could use that Box Brownie under cover (UC) to catch them in flagrante.

Do you think May Hem is bright enough for the role?

AGAA4 Thu 22-Apr-21 16:03:02

May Hem always was a hussy. Lowering the tone is her speciality ixion. We may need to chain her to the desk.

ixion Thu 22-Apr-21 15:57:48

The queue is, regrettably, for the Spa. It comprises, by the looks of it, a certain type of gentleman (and here, I use the term loosely) seeking to, er, interface with May Hem on the desk.

Someone really has to tell her, that while we applaud her efforts to raise sales, she should NOT be offering to climb in the hot tub with them?

AGAA4 Thu 22-Apr-21 15:30:22

Brilliant grandmajet Hot Tap is my code name. Hope nobody tries to turn me on.
I have found a box brownie as we will need to take photos of errant husbands.
Brook do we have any clients yet? I saw a big queue but could have been for the bar or tea room.

grandmajet Thu 22-Apr-21 06:29:03

AGA would be a ‘Hot’Tap!

AGAA4 Wed 21-Apr-21 21:22:55

Will just be Mata Hairy to avoid confusion.

brook2704 Wed 21-Apr-21 20:51:45

Doodle ?

ixion Wed 21-Apr-21 20:51:29

We need a Mission Statement

brook2704 Wed 21-Apr-21 20:49:12

I think we might need some hidden cameras to go with the bugs in the sugar bowls ....

Doodle Wed 21-Apr-21 20:48:15

You’re not one of Charlie’s Angels are you AGA? We could call you Farrah Tap for short ? (or are you all too young to remember)

brook2704 Wed 21-Apr-21 20:31:18

Oooh the Argy Bargy Detective Agency or AB12 is brilliant.. I’m so looking forward to our first mission ..

grandmajet Wed 21-Apr-21 20:17:24

We’ll get plenty of business from the tearoom, all those philandering husbands out with their fancy pieces, wives out for revenge. We can put a bug in the sugar bowls.
Please, not a spider!

AGAA4 Wed 21-Apr-21 19:59:32

Not that Angel but I have passed by in my London days ixion

ixion Wed 21-Apr-21 19:52:44

Are you from Islington, AGA?

AGAA4 Wed 21-Apr-21 19:48:50

I will be The Angel. The deadliest of spies. I have filled some syringes that look like pens with syrup of figs for the assassinations.

grandmajet Wed 21-Apr-21 19:42:06

pant is perfect for Pussy Galore, so sophisticated.
I wonder if doodle will let you be M, ixion? She could be Jane Bond!
Yes, I am of a certain vintage, you are right. Maturing nicely, but not in the cheese sense!
I’m off to practice my abseiling, Agent 99’s speciality.

Doodle Wed 21-Apr-21 19:38:16

ixon you can certainly be M.
Grandmajet Agent 99
pants Pussy Galore....how apt, ?
brooke Moneypenny
AGA what will your spy name be.
I am going for Lady Penelope ? and the Admiral can be my chauffeur Parker.

ixion Wed 21-Apr-21 19:19:10

Get Smart??
Crikey jet you go back a bit. Possibly before my time??

ixion Wed 21-Apr-21 19:17:16

Please can I be M? (Ageing beautifully, brains, influential, leader, powerful)
If not, then Miss Marple? (doddery, irritating but gets there in the end, best tunes/old violins etc ).
But I'd rather be M????????????????

grandmajet Wed 21-Apr-21 17:52:01

Can I be Agent 99?
(I bet none of you lot remember her)
I’m very Smart, just like her.

AGAA4 Wed 21-Apr-21 17:12:29

Good one for you Pant. Not sure I like the way the Admiral is stroking that fluffy white cat.

Pantglas2 Wed 21-Apr-21 16:48:00

Although I’m quite bashful normally ? in keeping with the P and G in my Gransnet Username, I thought my alias should be Pussy Galore... ?

AGAA4 Wed 21-Apr-21 16:00:17

The Argy Bargy Detective Agency. AB12 maybe? Sounds like a great idea for more money making.
We can shift the Admiral from that little nook behind the bar and put a desk in for brook - Moneypenny and use that as HQ.
Doodle can be M or D?
