The Argy Conglomerate

I’m all up for a rest and a soak in the hot tub whilst we consider our options. Our various enterprises have generated enough money for us to ponder our next move.
I had thought of promoting our poteen as The Golden Lav Ambrosia. Doesn’t quite have the ring I’m after. Any suggestions?

Privy Poteen?
As in …a pint of your best Privy please, luv

My ears were burning....has anyone been talking about me?
If not, why not?!
Doodle, you were never an innocent young thing so not so much of it if you please ( you could have taught the Admiral a thing or two, and no doubt did !)
Has the Captain been in lately? He did offer to take me on a trip round the bay and back for tea, but I have been so busy at the Manor ( repairing the leaking roof since you ask) that I haven’t had time for assignations with old sea dogs.
Are you still brewing AGA? If so, a pint of your best poteen ( the one without any llama or rat hairs in it.) Cheers!?

Privy poteen coming up. It is very strong so it might.

Love it ixion. Privy Poteen….has a touch of class to it.
Hello lemon . Nice to see you.
We have reverted back to the old Argy but I have put new sawdust on the floor. Lllamas not ferrets though thank goodness.
Got any tales from the olden days you can share with the youngsters?

Right you lot. We have Privy Poteen ready for sale. Big promotion night tonight. I have prepared a selection of nibbles for the punters. I’ve got the llamas walking up and down the high street with placards. Got some new tunes on the karaoke and we’re all set for another sing along for jet.
I am going to sing The Drink, Drink song to get people to try our brew.
Who is coming in tonight to help man/woman the bar?

Here doodle. Just a last shine up for the lavs and I'll be with you.
Have decided not to do bar duties, if you are happy with that?
Being a minger mingler at heart, please may I circulate 'midst the punters whilst offering nibbles?

ixion you look very er….fetching. I’m sure the punters will love your nibbles.
Yes I will man the bar with Thor.
I am expecting the Admiral in later. He is sailing into port tonight and he and the Captain are looking forward to catching up with everyone again. I feel he might be a bit disappointed that May Hem isn’t here but he’ll soon forget all about her when he tastes the new lavvy brew ?

Thanks for the tip-off?
Just slipped into something more appropriate

Just watch out for their blood pressure.?

Worry not, I can belt this out sing this by myself if needs be?
Keeping that promise to Jet, just in case she is listening out for us-

?I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do?

(Gasps for breath)
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people???

Off for a lie-down now. No scope for expanding my lungs in this ruddy sailor girl outfit☹️

Ooops so sorry ladies I’ve been otherwise engaged this evening but just popping in to sing again for Jet hope she can hear us!
Tonight it’s a Rod Stewart little number from me, I am sailing ..
I’m hoping that’ll fit in with *ixion’s outfit and go down well with the Captain and the Admiral too ?
One, two, three here goes !

I got locked in the cellar. ?. I’m here now

What shall I sing for jet. I know I’ll do a duet with the Admiral .
? Islands in the stream. That is what we are
No one in between. …..
Come on Admiral belt it out.for jet.
Sing up everyone

What’s that in the corner…..it’s ixion asleep with the llamas. Aaah. She slept all through our song.
Gnasher’s got his hoof round her shoulders. They should be safe tonight. Sleep tight all

Crumbs brook that’ll wake ixion up and jet will certainly hear that.
You’ve got a pair of lungs on you, I’ll say that. The Admirals eyes are out on stalks.

Oooh that was thirsty work, is there any of the new privy poteen left to try?
I’ll happily clean up later ixion and Doodle as you’ve both been busy tonight ?

Here you are brook. I’ll serve it in our new novelty mugs ?
?

Sorry I missed the shindig last night, I was just getting ready for it when Lord L burst into my dressing room to say that old
Dodders ( butler) had drunk all the fermenting ginger and rhubarb wine from the buttery, and had gone wild.We scoured the grounds and adjoining woodland for ages, with no sign of him but eventually tracked him down to the village, where he was banging on cottage doors and shouting ‘let me in missus and I’ll show you a good time!’
Lord L threw his old tweed overcoat over Dudder’s head and wrestled him to the ground, where fortunately he lay quietly
( in fact he had gone to sleep.)We borrowed a wheelbarrow from the cottage and wheeled him home again, then locked him in the scullery for the night.He’s a dear old thing as a rule but alcohol does things to people.....so they say.?

We had to ban Dodders from the Argy. He wasn't too bad with poteen but vodka made him go wild. Many a time I had to wrestle him to the ground. Good job I have experience in these things.
I have been busy with Thor brewing in the new posh vessel. Privy poteen is the best yet.
Ixion I have sent you some warm bloomers. You will catch cold - or something - in that outfit.

Oh not Old Dudders on the rampage again lemon. Good job you were able to get him home before he did himself an injury.
I found him trying to mount one of the llamas recently. Needless to say he didn’t come out of it very well. Has his bottom recovered yet.

Not the Old Dudders who lives in France, surely?
Or am I getting muddled up??

I think so ixion the nearest old Dodders gets to France is a croissant for brekkie now and again.?

I didn’t know about the llama incident Doodle Poor old thing, his eyesight is failing, it’s years of hard servitude and heavy drinking ( and he’s actually only 56!)

Yes AGA you have surpassed yourself with privy poteen, it’s a corker! Lord L requests you send a dozen barrels up here as soon as poss.

Are there any bar snacks going?

lemon maybe we can send one of the llamas to help. I know it takes old Dodders an hour to get from the kitchen to the dining room so you always have cold dinners. I've heard you get through a lot of gin while you wait.
Dodders could pack the food in panniers on Humpfree, a speedy young llama, and it will be with you in a jiffy.
Poteen for you and Lord L brewing nicely.
