The Argy Bar and Tea Room

Sorry girls, did you want Ryan back? I borrowed him for a bit
( not saying what the bit is)☺️
Anyhoo.....thought he would be useful to have about the place as Lemongrove Manor needs some tweaking here and there, Lord L allowed it to fall into disrepair in my absence.
Nice to be back there of course, and I have been doing a fair bit of riding ( whip in hand) this last week.Am a bit sore now, so may have overdone it.
Was wondering if you could spare Thor for a spot of buttling here, as our last butler, old Jennings passed away recently.We didn’t realise for several days, we wondered where he was ( in the butler’s pantry as it turned out.)

*IXION’S GOT TWO DOTS !!!!!!, ?.
That means that the crooked cop’s name doesn’t start with four dots for H but two dots for I. That means it’s Ian Buckle.
Well done gang, we’ve sorted it. Best spy agency ever ?

Hmm ? I don’t think it’s Lemongrove Manor that needs tweaking in my opinion. I think it’s more likely to be the lady of the manor.

Genius, doodle. But probably wrong. We shall see.

Does dress code optional mean I can plunge in au natural? I’ve always wanted to.....?‍♀️

lemon, is that a Ryan for Thor swap? ( might be a bargain, Thor is still recovering from pant’s, er, attentions).

I can assure you Grandma-jet that Thor would’ve lived up to his name if he’d received my ‘attentions’ ?

alas, he did not rise to the occasion in spite of my ministry with the, ahem, accessories that were meant to tempt him into the brambles of delinquency... ?

Don't we need Thor for our Life Class modelling?
He is the best of a bad bunch the crême de la crême.

Note the little hat jet on my "e"s.
Make of that what you will??

We do, don’t we? Can we trust lemon to bring him back for his modelling commitments?

Creme. No hat. ?. (I can’t do strike through either, rubbish equipment I have - as you will notice later in the hot tub!)

The brambles of delinquency sounds a bit painful, pant!

But it's CLUE, jet. On the lines of your conclusions about Ian dim and not even nice Buckles.

What sort of equipment will be 'rubbish'? ??

Is the clue hat, or no hat, I wonder? ?
None of them wear a hat.
Balaclava is a hat.
Hmm

grandmajet even at the Argy we have standards. Backless yes, frontless yes, bottomless if you insist but au natural ? not sure. Have you had your topiary clipped?
Pants has a stiff git for that I think. Or was it a brownie badge ?
lemon you can’t have Ryan and Thor. Now don’t be greedy.

Now come on all of you. I want your entries for the raffle. Who are you saying? I’m sticking to Ian Buckle........for now

Steph Corbett for me.

I’m a very trim lady, doodle, nothing here to clog the plughole.

A fiver on Philip Osbourne here, please.

Is Jacky Laverty still in that freezer, btw?

Let lemon have Ryan.
We can change his jacket first......

Bars Buzzing already. Good trade going in poteen and my vegetable quiche. Amazingly everyone seems in a really good mood. Very laid back.
Keep serving the booze and food we need to get maximum sales before the start of the programme.
Oh then Grandmajet you can come au natural but don’t blame me if the Admiral is all over you (when he passes out with shock........or lust)

Thinking H will be totally unexpected. Could be Kate? Ted or Steve?
Hands off Thor. Needed for brewing duties.

Yes, talking about brewing duties, Thor tells me you make him work naked whilst stirring the vat in case he spills something on his clothes..... naughty AGA ??

Lots of bets coming in, favourite is the wee donkey!

One of the perks Doodle.

Start taking last orders gang.
May has asked who she gets to join her in the tub if she wins. I think most of the punters would join her.......she seems happy with that ?

AGA I hope his bits don’t dangle in the mixture. We know where he’s been ?

Apologies gang I’ve been awol for a while but back with you all again soon ?

Tub warm and bubbling gently with wafts of soothing lavender. Copious tea lights twinkling and telly warmed up ready to go.
Pizzas and Pink Ladies on standby.

May, the punters and the 60" snooker screen should keep those thus inclined happy for an hour.

Changing rooms but a quick dash to the tub for the more er generously proportioned reticent of us.

Enjoy.
