Wow the thread came to an end quickly. I was just about to take a big bite of my saveloy and there we were out in the cold.
Right I’ve opened up again. Welcome all

Will he be in tonight? If Brunhilde is still around perhaps she could tip him upside down and see what falls out.

AGAA4 Tue 13-Jul-21 17:16:18

As he seemed to have no money last week.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 13-Jul-21 17:08:27

Sounds a tad suspicious....

AGAA4 Tue 13-Jul-21 16:56:48

I just hope Lord L hasn't spent all our cash. He seems to be permanently drunk, smoking expensive cigars and has a young hussy on each arm.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 13-Jul-21 16:36:46

I think it was Rowena who bombed the Palace AGA. Ruby was resting after getting lost somewhere, I forget the details but recall she made a detour to Italy on her way back. Perhaps she was trying to get the Italian team on home ground. Anyway hope she can soon go in search of the takings, possibly with satnav. .

AGAA4 Tue 13-Jul-21 16:11:49

Oh no! Ruby in disgrace. I'm sure she didn't mean to drop her load on the palace - or did she? She does have a mischievous look in her eye. I wonder who she was aiming for? She seems to have had her own agenda and not interested in Wembley.

As if we don't have enough problems with the llamas.

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 13-Jul-21 15:30:21

Oh dear. With the hopes of the nation resting on her too. At least I guess HM would have been at Windsor so wouldn’t have been targeted. Perhaps too big a mission for a young and inexperienced lady. Hope Ruby’s back on form soon though as I recall her geography isn’t too hot is it? Can she find the Manor?

Happyme Mon 12-Jul-21 22:51:38

Ah GSM, Rowena is confined to her perch in disgrace, turns out she got lost and dropped her load on the Palace. Heads may roll!!!!

Will dispatch Ruby as soon as she is cleared to fly. Am guessing the Manor will be a good place to start, don't think the scarecrow will worry a wise old bird like Ruby too much

Germanshepherdsmum Mon 12-Jul-21 22:30:31

Now that Rowena’s finished her secret mission (I assume she ran out of ammo before the penalties) can she do her spying to look for the takings?

Happyme Mon 12-Jul-21 20:43:45

Glad the Llamas home AGA, Ruby is too ?....the Ravenmaster found her fast asleep beside a half eaten pasty..not like her not to gobble the lot ?.

Knew something fishy was afoot, no not the llamas dinner tho they are pretty messy, I meant the Argy takings what got took.

AGAA4 Mon 12-Jul-21 16:47:40

The llamas have returned when they got the scent of fish and chips. A good old English meal. They are refusing to eat pizza at the moment in solidarity with their team.

AGAA4 Mon 12-Jul-21 16:06:38

Lord L. seems to be spending very freely in the Argy today and I recognise one of the buttons that had got into the till somehow which he offered with his (or our!) cash. I had let him have a free pint of poteen a few days ago as he said he had no money hmm.

ixion Mon 12-Jul-21 10:47:25

Oops.
Followed lemongrove's suggestion and brought my vintage furs along to the Argy.
Didn't anticipate the reaction from Gnasher and co. - they appear to be heading for the hills.
Sorry guys?

lemongrove Sun 11-Jul-21 23:46:39

Hope there are no hard feelings about the loss of the Argy takings? The thing about living out in the sticks is that there is always some wildlife ready to pounce on anything ( and that’s just Lord L!) Am as astonished as you are about where it went.
Is there any poteen going? Is the Admiral in tonight, I need to ask him something about recovering goods from the sea.It’s a long story and goes back to the days of Rich Reggie.

Happyme Sun 11-Jul-21 22:08:06

Sounds good to me ixion, plus spicy pepperoni please!!

ixion Sun 11-Jul-21 21:27:58

13.5" Happyme?
With pineapple?

Happyme Sun 11-Jul-21 21:19:25

I dream of a tasty bel ragazzo ixion, if any turn up please redirect to the Tower.

ixion Sun 11-Jul-21 21:04:39

No, not offering any Italian cuisine at the Argy tonight Happyme.
Just poteen, lots of it.

Happyme Sun 11-Jul-21 20:20:30

Hope you kept the burnt pizza pasties muse, may be needed for bombing exercise. Am still incarcerated muse, Bert got the toothpick and has been trying to unpick my chastity belt....unsuccessfully ?. How is business at the Argy tonight....am I missing any Italian il avaraccio??

ixion Sun 11-Jul-21 19:19:51

Phew.
Got me worried there for a mo.

muse Sun 11-Jul-21 19:16:40

*Izion* ixion.

muse Sun 11-Jul-21 19:15:13

It's OK Izion. Instructions via Happyme were to make pizza pasties.?

ixion Sun 11-Jul-21 19:08:26

Oooh - NOT pizzas tonight, please?
Won't get any bona fide help tonight, of all nights.

Unless they win - we should then get them free, methinks

muse Sun 11-Jul-21 19:01:08

See the lock pick came in handy Happyme.

Sorry GSM. Been up to my armpits in burnt offerings. 226 pasties ruined. The Graves twins were left in charge last night and Doug forgot to set the oven to turn off after an hour. Sent Phil off to Tosser's Pizzeria to see if they can help out.

Germanshepherdsmum Sun 11-Jul-21 18:22:44

Some strategic - er - bombing may be very helpful especially if it goes to penalties.. Hope she’s well loaded and has been instructed not to release all weapons too early ??. Recovery of the Argy’s takings must take second place to national interest⚽️???????. Thank goodness Doodle doesn’t know!
