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 wonder whether we might make Tom's stay a weekend sleepover?
After a Saturday at Lemongrove Manor and a night of baronial splendour (is the roof fixed yet, lemon?), we could invite him to our Wellness Spa and maybe give a little talk to the Beautiful People about his skin care regime, the products he uses, his secret of his eternal youth?

Oooh Jet if only ...... I think my cottage isn’t up to scratch these days ... On the other hand I think Lemongrove Manor is more his thing ...

Will Sir Tom be staying in your cottage, brook? Will he sit on your Green Green Grass? Will you be talking about What’s New, Pussycat? Or will his Mama tell him not to come?

Always knew Doodle was Delilah.

brook2704 Sat 08-May-21 21:45:20

Ahhh yes Doodle he did mention that, did you leave your hat on too?

Doodle Sat 08-May-21 21:16:44

Of course many of his songs were written about me.
Sexbomb, She’s a Lady, Help yourself and Thunderball.

It’s not unusual Doodle

grandmajet Sat 08-May-21 20:19:46

We have the exact colour to top up his tan!

Doodle Sat 08-May-21 20:08:14

Ooh fantastic. We could have a Sir Tom night on the karaoke.
I’ve gone all weak at the knees ?

brook2704 Sat 08-May-21 19:54:38

Yep of course I know him Doodle one of my best pals! I’m sure he’d be delighted to come along to the Argy - he’s always up for a good night out ..

AGAA4 Sat 08-May-21 19:50:08

He would never get out again.

Doodle Sat 08-May-21 19:45:57

Wow brook do you know Sir Tom ?. I’m so excited. What a brilliant idea.
Do you think he’d pop into the Argy for a pint?

brook2704 Sat 08-May-21 19:36:48

Lemon Are you up for a posh summer garden tea party at Lemongrove Manor? Thinking along the lines of pimms, strawberries and croquet on the lawn ... Big hats and posh frocks - sell the tickets at eye watering prices, sure to attract the right clientele and to top off the evening a grand finale by the one and only Tom Jones and fireworks at midnight ?
AB12 on security duties obvs

Spray tan after hot tub experience, in that case.
Too much high end maintenance will eat into our profits!

brook2704 Sat 08-May-21 19:28:11

Definitely agree Fronk for the tea room ... think he would add a je ne sais quoi
Is he from the Moulin Rouge? He could teach us all the Can Can ..

Doodle Sat 08-May-21 18:02:31

Ooh ixion I must ask Shaun to give me a going over - I love that colour.
Cheek lemon you know perfectly well those photos were of the llamas. Mind you I could do with a bit of a trim. I will check our Madame Frou Frou. Perhaps I would have a new colour to go with my bodywork.
Glad you were pleased AB12 did a brilliant job and things have calmed down at Lemongrove Manor. Let us know if there’s any other jobs we can help with. Usual rates.
Another brilliant idea ixion . Fronk would be a wow with the ladies in the tea room.
AGA true Fronk will wow the ladies ?

Oops.
Perhaps it would cheaper to we could make a feature out of it? Unless the kiddies are going to drink it☹️

grandmajet Sat 08-May-21 17:24:02

Ooh la la, a French waiter! I hope Thor doesn’t get jealous and set Tracker on him. He’s got very sharp teeth.

The hot tub looks a bit tango-ed. People have been going straight in from the tanning salon, not to be encouraged.

AGAA4 Sat 08-May-21 16:11:53

A french waiter. Very chic. He would definitely be good in the tea room.
I have asked Sadie to keep still in the hot tub or she will lose her job there. She is enjoying all the attention so will do her best.

ixion Sat 08-May-21 16:06:35

Could Fronk not wait on in the Tea Rooms when we have parties of old dears booked?
Think they would lerve that. Does he croon, perchance?

ixion Sat 08-May-21 16:03:17

To this colour!

ixion Sat 08-May-21 16:02:36

But Sexy Sadie is a money-spinner, there's the rub....
How about we make Saturdays Families Only (nice pricey family ticket should do the trick)?
And Sundays Couples Only - I assume the Admiral is unhinged unattached?

Life Classes should do really well, if not oversubscribed, even.

Wellness Spa doing well, thanks to Tanya and Sherree ?.
I have got Shaun the Spray to change his paint jobs to a more suitable colour, so that any unflushed nozzles will be a bonus for the spray tan punters.

Doodle why have you posted the same three pics of yourself? Must say you have really let yourself go this past year! Book a session at Madame Pom Pom’s sister’s place (Madame Frou Frou) where she will give you the full works for a fiver.
Your security team has done wonders! Reggie has hightailed it back to the sea, Lord Lemongrove may now put his guns away, he has been patrolling the deer park constantly on the look out for RR and I worried that they would shoot each other if they ever came face to face, or at least shoot themselves in the foot.

Doodle Sat 08-May-21 15:46:22

Actually having Tracker around might help keep the taking safe too. Sorry you are disappointed the Great Dane wasn’t the kind you were expecting ixion.
I think Sexy Sadie should go back to what she does best before the whole place is flooded. She can still pose for the art class though, I’m sure they will appreciate her......ample talents,
I have found us a new nail artiste. His name is Fronk ..at least I think that’s what he said. He is French and very suave.
On your best behaviour now ladies....we don’t want to scare him off. ??
