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

ixion Wed 07-Jul-21 19:55:38

Hey- there's a lot of football types in tonight?‍♀️
There's a group too in the corner with helmets asking for Danish pastries?
Any out the back?

brook2704 Wed 07-Jul-21 21:27:35

Oooh hope there’s not going to be a bust up later ixion where’s Thor tonight, he’ll soon sort it ..
I think Alarma finished off the last of the pastries earlier - just a few crumbs left

ixion Wed 07-Jul-21 21:44:55

I hope Thor doesn't have torn loyalties.
Isn't he supposed to be descended from the Danish Royal House? ?

brook2704 Wed 07-Jul-21 21:56:01

You’re right ixion I found this in The Argy family album

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 07-Jul-21 22:46:49

Ooh the Danes have lost. Are you ok there? Hope things haven’t turned nasty. Can you pacify them with pasties? How’s Thor? Will he be able to carry on? Will he need counselling?

ixion Wed 07-Jul-21 22:52:15

He is, apparently, comatose - or maybe prostrate with grief.
Bless. It's only a game.
Poor May Hem has wandered off, disconsolate.
She's very much second fiddle tonight. The chaps are all hugging and snogging each other instead.

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 07-Jul-21 22:56:00

Is there any poteen left?!

Doodle Wed 07-Jul-21 23:37:06

Always poteen at the Argy gsdsmum. AGA keeps the brew going all the time. Even with the Danes drinking all they can we are still ok. Plenty here.

Er ….has anyone spotted that rather large woman in the corner with breastplate and long blond plaits. She keeps saying she’s come for the Admiral. Apparently they met on one of his seafaring trips and she thinks they’re betrothed. ?

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 08-Jul-21 09:00:51

Well done for getting a covert snap of her Doodle. Wouldn’t want to meet her down a dark Pigstrotter Alley. Is she still there? Perhaps she could get take Thor’s mind off things as it were. Or are his preferences still in question? I should think by the looks of her she’d make any man question his preferences unless they’d had a good few poteens. I hope Thor recovers sufficiently to assist with the brewing, glad to hear there are endless supplies.
Btw any news of Muse’s eta so plans can be made? I should think you might stuff one of AB’s gowns in the boat Happy, they’re rather voluminous aren’t they? Plus the bling of course.???

ixion Thu 08-Jul-21 09:05:33

Looks like Bosoms Brunhilde to me.
Been round the block a bit, used to sing at the Met (Opera House, not London Underground)

Happyme Thu 08-Jul-21 09:39:44

Lots of shouting and chants of Englerand...Engerland....Engerland here last night. Are we at war or has there been a revolution?? I am so isolated here in the Tower ?.
Hope I haven't missed any news...Ruby my Raven has gone missing, the Ravenmaster will be so cross. Please can you look for her, she has shiny black feathers, beady black eyes and a rather viscious beak (has been known to peck off the odd maid's nose), she is plump and juicy and taken to hanging round kitchens for a tasty morsel. Maybe muse has seen her?? Will send her daughter Rowena as a temp replacement.

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 08-Jul-21 09:47:00

I hope Muse hasn’t seen Ruby, she sounds like good pasty material...

Germanshepherdsmum Thu 08-Jul-21 10:01:58

Don’t worry Happy it was only a football match. I gather there will be another on Sunday. Brace yourself for more of the same and maybe weeks of it if we actually win, floods of tears if we don’t. Hope you have sandbags there. I expect it will be all hands and llamas on deck at the Argy.

AGAA4 Thu 08-Jul-21 11:00:35

Crikey ixion Brunhilde looks like the antithesis to May Hem. That was a big word for Aga!

AGAA4 Thu 08-Jul-21 11:07:44

Happyme you are safer where you are at the moment. People are shouting and singing Sweet Caroline. Madness.

Doodle Thu 08-Jul-21 20:29:33

AGA you been at the dictionary again. I’ve told you before, big words aren’t good for you ?
Yes Brunhilde is still here and convinced she is betrothed to the Admiral. He has run back to his shop and is setting sail as we speak. What will we do with her? Do we know anyone who would like a voluptuous lady friend………with her own axe?.?

ixion Thu 08-Jul-21 20:52:53

Perhaps she could work in the Admiral's shop, as he is setting sail?
Failing that, how about employing her on Friday nights in the Argy as a Bouncer, when the Riff Raff kick off?

brook2704 Thu 08-Jul-21 21:48:23

She’s certainly very different to poor Mary Rose, I wonder what happened to her ? Cast aside like an old fish I expect

Doodle Thu 08-Jul-21 21:56:34

She could work in the cellar lifting barrels…..one under each arm ?

Brunhilde could be a real asset to The Argy, especially on karaoke nights, she could also be on the door and throw out noisy drunks ( get that bum outta here!) LauraNorder used to fulfil that function ( nobody would mess with her on a Friday night that’s for sure) but an even bigger woman, and with her own axe...well, what a gift eh? Just alert the Admiral that she’s here so he can lie low for a bit ( his favourite position.)

brook2704 Thu 08-Jul-21 22:28:13

But how are we going to feed her? I’ve already seen her eyeing up Gnasher and he’s looking a bit worried ..

lemongrove Thu 08-Jul-21 22:30:32

I think that German people enjoy large sausages?

lemongrove Thu 08-Jul-21 22:31:50

Or is she a Dane? Bacon sarnies in that case.

Doodle Thu 08-Jul-21 22:36:56

I think she looks like someone who would enjoy a large sausage. We could arrange for her to help at the chippy in the morning lifting the sacks of potatoes and then they could feed her battered sausage and chips.
