Wow ixion that looks good. Wish I was one of the guests - sigh.
I will get my frilly pinny on and start helping.

ixion Fri 21-May-21 17:10:22

Oh, and an ArgyBargy chorus for jet at close of play.
I told her we would and to listen out for her gang.
For she's a jolly good fellow?
?

AGAA4 Fri 21-May-21 17:12:14

And so say all of us!!

brook2704 Fri 21-May-21 19:12:11

Let’s get as many as we can in the Argy later singing along for jet - make sure she can hear us!

Doodle Fri 21-May-21 20:37:57

Gosh ixion the lavs must be in a state if you’re up to your neck in it. ? Do we need a visit from Dan the Drain?
Ixion you are a marvel. The tea room looks amazing. I’m feeling quite romantic myself.
Yes we must have a good sing along in the Argy later. I’ll pop into soop’s kitchen and entice as many as I can round for a free drink and pork scratchings. We must make it nice and loud for jet
That chocolate fountain looks so good. After the meal is finished and everyone has gone, who’s up for a paddle in the chocolate fountain ?

Doodle Fri 21-May-21 20:48:52

Right I’m going to prepare the bar with crisps and pork scratchings. I’ve made red velvet cup cakes in heart shapes for the romantic evening in the tea room and with the chocolate dipped strawberries that should go down well.
I’m going to crank up the karaoke so that if anyone comes in they can give us a song.
AGA who is in the bar tonight apart from me? Is Colin shaking his stuff here too?

ixion Fri 21-May-21 21:00:00

Oh my.
I have to say that this is a truly magical evening?
Cocktail Colin is giving it all he's worth and mesmerising Lizzie's girlies. All under control on the Hot Tub front.

Joy of joys - Mary Rose has spirited the Admiral away, so no dodgy moments there.

Fronc and Thor are engrossed, you couldn't put a fag paper between them.

All we need now is the Lemongrove's ringing endorsement (can we get a 'By Royal Appointment'?).

How's the food and drink lasting?

lemongrove Fri 21-May-21 21:05:58

Coo-ee! We’re here, wearing our gladrags.Unfortunately Lord L is a little the worse for wear, as I forgot to remove the whisky bottle from the butlers pantry.Found him an hour ago sitting on the pantry floor with an arm round his faithful labrador, both supping from the bottle.
Sat him in the shower and made him change into ‘white tie’ for the evening.The dog is sleeping it off on the oriental rug in the library.
Must say the table looks marvellous! So romantic! What’s on offer for grub then?

ixion Fri 21-May-21 21:06:50

Lemongroves' ?

(About to self report to Pedant's Corner before anyone else gets there).

Doodle Fri 21-May-21 21:13:58

ixion you are forgiven ?
Er Lemon you have pate for starters (don’t ask gang ?)
Oriental chicken for main (someone hide the takeaway boxes) and chocolate dipped strawberries for pudding with Prosecco and a poteen chaser. Don’t forget we want you in the bar later on karaoke to belt out a few numbers for jet

brook2704 Fri 21-May-21 21:17:10

An absolutely splendid evening!
Mary Rose is truly besotted with the Admiral who I must say has scrubbed up very well ...
Lizzies girlies have started the karaoke with girls just wanna have fun and Thor and Fronc are looking longingly at each other and humming ive only got eyes for you
Cocktails are going down a treat, so far the chocolate fountain has remained upright and the llamas are swaying gently in the corner
We’ve got moonlight and music and love and romance ....

ixion Fri 21-May-21 21:18:02

Great to see you both lemon., we have a table for you mereside.
Local oysters, choccy dipped strawberries and a choc dip fountain. Food only, please, in the fountain.
Plenty of bubbly - oops, I think yer man has nodded off.
Best way, IMHO

ixion Fri 21-May-21 21:22:38

Oh no, Angela Ripon hasn't turned up, brook, has she?
?

brook2704 Fri 21-May-21 21:23:54

Ooh ixion remember it’s just sparkling water for Lord Lemon - put it in a champagne glass - he’ll never notice ...

lemongrove Fri 21-May-21 21:28:05

Yum yum! I’m starving, don’t mind me if I tuck in, have been
Dieting all day for this event.Lord L has indeed nodded off, he looks comfy though with his head in that plate of oysters.I’ll just wriggle that dish of pate out from under his bow tie .....
Who is this Fronc person that Thor has taken a shine to ( not that am jealous or anything you understand?) Although I am!?

brook2704 Fri 21-May-21 21:31:23

She was just passing ixion and popped in to give us a song on the karaoke .. she’s now splashing about in the hot tub with Lizzies girlies ..

ixion Fri 21-May-21 21:36:21

Crikey brook. However did she clamber in?
I mean, she's no spring chicken, is she, let's face it?

brook2704 Fri 21-May-21 21:46:50

Think she got Gnasher to catapult her in ixion

Doodle Fri 21-May-21 21:49:36

But she’s got long legs ixion. Remember her dancing with Eric and Ernie . I’m sure getting in isn’t the problem. It’s how we’ll get her out ?
Karaoke is going well. Let’s crank up the volume so that Jet can hear us. Those Lizzies girls are doing a great job of entertaining the punters. Perhaps we should have them back again.

Doodle Fri 21-May-21 21:51:15

Lemon’s romantic evening isn’t going well. She still fancies Thor and his Lordship isn’t helping. Brook let’s go and put a broomstick up his jacket and see if he can remain upright for the meal......then he can help us sweep up after,

Doodle Fri 21-May-21 21:51:53

OY whose been using my llamas as a springboard. ?

ixion Fri 21-May-21 21:52:56

I vaguely remember my granny telling me about that Morecambe and Wise sketch, doodle

Tee hee. Only kidding?

lemongrove Fri 21-May-21 21:54:42

Just finishing my choccy dipped strawberries, what a marvellous blowout, good job I wore my elasticated waist harem pants.Let’s leave L Lemon and go do some karaoke!

Right, here I go....
I’d like to get yeewwww on a slooow boat to China, all for myyselllf alone....

ixion Fri 21-May-21 21:57:40

Look, someone is going to have to tell lemon to look at Thor's body language with Fronc. She's a non-starter.
You tell her doodle. You both go back a bit?

Methinks this evening may be going rapidly downhill.
My heart missed a beat until I read where you intended to put that broomstick, I must confess.

ixion Fri 21-May-21 22:03:57

Can you hear us jet?
This is for you, as promised. ♥️
Hold tight -

But in these times of change
You know that it's no longer true
So we're comin' out of the kitchen
'Cause there's somethin' we forgot to say to you, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves
Standin' on their own two feet
And ringin' on their own bells, we say
Sisters are doin' it for themselves

We're with you, your comfy chair is reserved!
