The Argy Conglomerate

? ? ??‍♂️ still no sign of the missing Lord L or Thor and Fronc.
Going to set up an Incident room in the store cupboard so we can review the evidence.

I am on the trail of Lord L last seen staggering walking towards the docks.
The Admiral and Mary Rose have been seen holding hands on the deck of his boat the 'Wilting Whelk' and gazing into the sunset (grey clouds).
Thor and Fronc left early last night on Fronc's tandem. The receptionist at the Everard Hotel said they had booked in there so I don't think we will see them for a while.

I think we should send Mary Rose a 'thank you' bunch of flowers (and a new set of gents' underwear would be a small price to play for his continuing absence).

Any sign of Prodigal Lemongrove?

Bit of a tizz here. Leo tells me he has taken a booking enquiry, asking to see the Fine Dining menu?
?‍♀️

I am hoping Lord L hasn't stowed away on one of the boats. He could be anywhere by now. Lemon is being comforted by an under footman so may not be too worried by his absence.
Fine dining!?? At the Argy? Well, we have worked miracles before.

Well! Lord L returned this afternoon in the company of two old friends from his ‘serving’ days ( he was a military man doncha know). He said that he was on a ‘hush hush’ mission in Whitehall, and no questions asked if you please! Cheek.
Anyway, they all wanted to wet their whistles so have just now parked them in the bar with a double whisky and soda each.
General Cayoss and Major Disasta say that they have never seen finer examples of womanhood anywhere in the world as in our bar, but I have to wonder about their eyesight as they were trying to fondle Thor ( he’s back btw.....without Fronc! ) Make what you will out of that.

Thought for the day -

Is Thor fickle?

.....or does he bat for the other side?

I have no idea if Fronc is male or female btw as it’s hard to tell.

It may have been the tandem that put him off Fronc. Not very comfortable when wearing only a thong.

Maybe he’s bi.....or just .....available?
Glad Lord L returned safely but our AB team can reliably inform you he was not in Whitehall on a hush hush mission but was in fact at the Pig and Whistle, the other end of Pig Trotters Alley. Which was about as far as he could stagger.
It is also where he picked up the General and Major though I’m not sure they really are military types. Keep an eye on your silver lemon ??‍♂️

ixion I misread your post and thought you said we should send Mary Rose a new set of gents underwear for his incontinence ?

Fine dining.....er ...we can do that....oh...now Fronc has disappeared who will be the posh waiter. AGA what is fine dining? Where’s brook when we need her?

Just what I suspected Doodle but until I had your info I gave them all the benefit of the doubt.Lord L had lipstick on his collar and the Gen and Major look a dissipated pair.
I’ll head back to the manor and lock them all out.The groundsman ( Alf) will set the dogs on them if they hang about ......time Lord L was taught a lesson! His own Labradors would only lick him to death but the wolfhounds never like him.?

Don’t worry, I’ll take care of the Fine Dining experience..l’ll sneak into Lemongrove Manor and borrow the dinner service and silver .....shush no one will notice

brook don't forget the gold goblets.

I'm sure I've seen some left overs in the Muse Mess Hut kitchen from making the Cornish pasties yesterday . Enough any to turn them into the mini meals you get in fine dining. MrM can do a very decorative swirl with the tomato ketchup.

We need a dress code.

Brilliant muse you are a star.
Ok gang that’s the Fine dining sorted.
AB 12 have found Lord Lemongrove.
Last nights Eurovision bash was a success.
Money is coming in.
Leo is sorting bookings.
Thor is sulking.
Everything is tickety boo ?

muse the words dress code have never been heard in the Argy before. What do you have in mind? ?

And the napkin rings and proper napkins. Not the toilet paper we usually use as serviettes.

Napkin rings ? I always used safety pins on mine

My apologies for being such a lightweight last night - I was asleep by 10.30 - nothing to do with Eurovision - honest! Maybe the booze? ????
Did I miss anything?

I will ask Leo to be head waiter. He does scrub up well.

It put me to sleep too Mawb

We so must get Fronc back.
He added that little je ne sais quoi to the proceedings, the old dears loved him for his old fashioned manners, you could take him anywhere (and somehody clearly has☹️).

Can you spare one of the Team to pop down to the Everard for a sit rep?

Yes Maw you missed the Eurovision scoring. ? it was awful mesmerising.
All the excitement of being back in the Argy must have been too much for you. There is a comfy basket in the corner where Rosie can sleep if you bring her. The llamas won’t bother her, they think she’s one of them ?

I’ll go. I can take Gnasher with me and he can...persuade Fronc to come back .
