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. ?

I have a plan to get our money back.
We go to the next Stones gig. Doodle, wearing a wire, tells Mick she’s pregnant with his child. When he expresses surprise, stating he knows her birth date, we’ve got him! Recorded proof that he knows the code! We will expose him as a thief unless he gives it back.
We’d better take Ryan Pilkington and his bolt cutters along in case Mick gets difficult.

Oh my I’ve blamed Lemon and it wasn’t her. I can’t understand how Mick got the combination because I lied about my age. Sorry everyone. ?. All that hard work gone up in a puff of smoke.........well gone up in a helicopter as it turns out ?

grandmajet Mon 19-Apr-21 22:41:31

Maybe it wasn’t lemon after all. Mick and the boys were seen taking off in a very smart helicopter.........?

ixion, what is a PIM?

I’d like to be the CHIS on the yacht. I could go in disguise? ?

ixion Mon 19-Apr-21 21:12:11

I'll send Ryan Pilkington round to have a few words with them. Flash his bolt cutters around, glare a bit.
Guarantee the money will be back in the safe tomorrow.

Doodle Mon 19-Apr-21 21:03:44

Anyone got the contact number for Line of Duty?

Doodle Mon 19-Apr-21 21:03:02

?? no... not all our money. Lemon must have found my birthdate on something, I can’t believe it’s all gone. Sob, sob.
No yacht, no swimming pool, no diamond chandeliers. .......
Back to sawdust and cucumber sandwiches,
Where is PC Plod when you need him ???

ixion Mon 19-Apr-21 20:40:03

doodle
?URGENT?
We need a sit rep , then a PIM
A SOCO to lift dabs
A CHIS to put the yacht under surveillance.

Are you sure you have searched thoroughly??

grandmajet Mon 19-Apr-21 20:15:30

After all our efforts.
Really? All gone????

ixion Mon 19-Apr-21 19:57:48

Whaaaaaat?
Empty??‍♀️

Doodle Mon 19-Apr-21 19:53:52

Wow, ixion I agree with you, that’s some outfit grandmajet.
You’d better be careful. lemon wouldn’t want Reggie to expire before the wedding. Seeing you in that outfit might just finish him off.

10.06.66....no that’s not it. ? 10.11.12.....no that’s not it either...10.09.29..........er gang, the safe is open......?

ixion Mon 19-Apr-21 17:54:08

Blimey jet

ixion Mon 19-Apr-21 17:53:12

What's up with our RRs finances then?
Bit of the gloss coming off his millionaire profile now, eh?

C'mon doodle - your (real?) birthday? Just try it - please!

grandmajet Mon 19-Apr-21 17:52:22

How’s this for my bridesmaid dress? She just said gold, right?
I don’t want to outshine the bride!

grandmajet Mon 19-Apr-21 17:42:07

It’s less than two weeks until lemon’s big day! I thought I saw her sneaking in and fiddling with the safe, muttering something about ‘needing funds for the honeymoon’! I don’t think she got it open, but, Doodle, have you remembered the code yet, we may need to hide some of the profits under our beds. It might be safer there.

Doodle Sun 18-Apr-21 22:52:26

Yes pants and you got to be top of the class for mounting your stiff gits. ?. Those were good days.......but we woz norty gurls.

Pantglas2 Sun 18-Apr-21 22:10:03

Tee hee Doodle - we did have fun in Miss Marydoll’s Maffs Klass and skiving behind the bike shed didn’t we ?.

I learned all about the birds and the bees and multiplying from them norty boys ?

Doodle Sun 18-Apr-21 21:11:02

Thank you brook you are the only one who understands. It was true love ???

Doodle Sun 18-Apr-21 21:10:09

I’ll have you know he’s going to write a song about me. I think he said it would be called Simply the Best.....or was it Oh what a night........or perhaps Dancing Queen.....however it would be original I know that. ?
Who are you calling a hussy Pants. We all know about you and the boys behind the bike sheds at school.

brook2704 Sun 18-Apr-21 20:59:41

Oh Doodle !!

Pantglas2 Sun 18-Apr-21 20:51:03

Ooh ? Doodle...u been a hussee again? Only you could call a one-night-stand a 24 hour-love-affair ?

brook2704 Sun 18-Apr-21 20:47:14

Oh Doodle so sorry to hear about your break up ?

ixion Sun 18-Apr-21 20:30:19

Have you remembered the security code yet doodle?
Was it not your real birthdate? DDMMYYYY.
Recall at the time thinking an excellent choice.
After all, none of us know the actual date, nor year?

grandmajet Sun 18-Apr-21 19:56:17

Admiral’s on his way, Doodle, he’s always a good stand-in.
?*ixion*.

Doodle Sun 18-Apr-21 19:54:38

ixion it would take a ton of dynamite and the cast of The Italian Job to move that safe. No, the only danger to its contents is lemon and I wouldn’t put anything past her. ?

ixion Sun 18-Apr-21 19:42:02

Oh, that's OK.
I thought you were going to say that the safe had gone.
