Hello All,
Have been waiting for Doodle to open the old Argy up for the festive period, but she has gone to New York ( or possibly York) to do her Christmas shopping.She will be here anytime though, so until then, the doors are open, come in and ‘take the weight off’ and order one of our speciality cocktails or maybe a mulled poteen, and tell us what you’ve been up to.
Sitting on Santa’s knee? Ordering new killer heels?tchsmile

Just finished cleaning the poteen barrels and have turned off the lights and locked the door as doodleinstructed.
Great Christmas everyone. See you at Easter ??

Thanks everyone for a fantastic Christmas and New Year bash.
Lovely to enjoy your company and humour again.

I think it’s time to close for another refurbishment so we can rest and regroup in time for an Easter Argy ? opening.
Glad you’re back safely AGA. You’ve got a few weeks now to come up with some chocolate flavoured poteen.
Hope everyone enjoys the break. I’m taking the llamas to Lemongrove Manor where they can rest in their barn and annoy Lord Lemon by trampling on his dahlias.
May Hem and Dyna Mite along with Vi Agra have all gone off to sea on the Admirals new yacht (they’ll be mighty upset when they realise it’s a glorified rowing boat and they’re doing the rowing ?)

Thor, Sven and Bjorn have decided to go winter skiing but will be back in plenty of time to help get ready for Easter opening.

Hope to see you all back at Easter. Keep safe and well in the meantime. Last one out lock the door and slip the key under the mat. Bye ?

I think we should send the boys up there in their thongs, that’ll be an interesting sight. They’ll soon get those bloomers down!

Happy New Year to all at the Argy.
I spent the night in Fisherman Fred's cottage on the docks after I fell into the sea. Thanks to all who hauled me out.
I am back at the Argy starting the clear up after the night's revels.
Not sure how to get the bloomers down from the roof ?

Hang on AGA ……well at least with all that poteen inside you you won’t get cold and that inflatable bra I lent you should keep you afloat till we get there.

brook2704 Sat 01-Jan-22 01:02:15

Don’t worry AGA we’re coming for you

brook2704 Sat 01-Jan-22 01:00:02

Oops I did hear a splash Doodle but thought it was a jumping fish … we’d best go back to check

Doodle Sat 01-Jan-22 00:54:26

Brook I just fancy a cheese straw. Thank you.
Well actually I quite fancy Bjorn but as Maddyone is taking him in her own personal conga, I’ll have to make do.
Cheers to you too Ixion here have some of Brook’s cheese straws it’ll help soak up the alcohol. I told you drinking all the remaining glasses in the poteen fountain wasn’t a good idea, ?
I’m a bit worried about AGA. She was right at the end of the line when we swung hard right after leaving the docks and she seemed to disappear off the end ?

Doodle Sat 01-Jan-22 00:46:47

Happyme ? I hope you don’t catch cold. It’s draughty in the Argy.

brook2704 Sat 01-Jan-22 00:24:42

Cheese straw anyone?

Happyme Sat 01-Jan-22 00:15:14

Happy New Year one and all ???. May 2022 be good to us all. What bloomers Doodle , I ran out of fabric ?

ixion Sat 01-Jan-22 00:14:48

Cheers, everyone.
Love y'all (hic) ?

maddyone Sat 01-Jan-22 00:14:16

Happy New Year everyone. See you back at the Argy when the conga’s finished.

Happyme Fri 31-Dec-21 23:42:53

Wow, who knew the llamas could conga ???. Best get them rounded up before the Might Kabooms go off

brook2704 Fri 31-Dec-21 23:31:11

Should be a good display we’ve got loads of Mighty Kabooms lined up

brook2704 Fri 31-Dec-21 23:24:42

Oooh girls we can’t linger down the docks tonight we need to get back for the fireworks at midnight

Happyme Fri 31-Dec-21 23:16:24

? these boots were made for walking ? not sure if I can conga in them ?. Clear the dance floor and I'll have a practice ??

ixion Fri 31-Dec-21 23:15:45

OK, whose idea was it to conga down to the docks?
The fleet's in and there's a lorra lorra saucy sailors?

lemongrove Fri 31-Dec-21 23:14:57

What a very Argy Christmas it’s been, and wishing you all a very Argy and Happy New Year! Xx

lemongrove Fri 31-Dec-21 23:12:18

All ready gals? Here we go in the conga line....down the alley, and then to the docks via the gasworks!
Tah da da da dah conga, tah da da da dah conga, dah da conger, dah da conger ( getting fainter as we go!)........

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 23:07:34

Don’t worry Maddy you won’t get lost the Alley leads into the Lane just past The Horse and Bucket (seedy joint don’t be tempted to go in).

maddyone Fri 31-Dec-21 22:58:17

Ooops, it’s Pigs Trotter Alley, not Pigstrotter Lane. I don’t want to get lost before the conga has even started.
