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

She has! angry

May Hem at Lemongrove Manor?? Goodness me I thought she’d been banned from there …

Doodle Mon 13-Dec-21 21:35:53

Brook I’m not sure Thor would be happy about you roasting his chestnuts (nor Sven when he returns either)
How about some mince pies. I’m sure we can make some, there are loads of currants in the cellar (well they look like currants)
Love those nails Maddy , good job you’re here it’s very busy.
Also a good job we’ve off loaded May Hem to Lemongrove Manor for their Christmas bash. She gets very jealous of anyone who has better nails than her. I think she files hers with a stone grinder.
I wonder if muse is dropping off more pasties. We don’t want to run out.
Time to start up the juke box I think. Whose up for a bit of a Christmas boogie ?

Great to see you maddy love the nails and make up!
We’re really busy tonight as there’s a coach party in - its a hen party I think from the look of things ?

Glad you are back * Maddy* we are so busy. Thor has been hanging out with the elves so still no use

maddyone Mon 13-Dec-21 18:50:50

I’M BACK! I got my nails done, and make up tattooed on. I ran into Thor out there and we err, took a bit of time out. Anyway I see he’s busy now with the elves from across the road. Right, I’ll roll my sleeves up and get cracking with AGA and Bjorn. Making the poteen that is.

brook2704 Mon 13-Dec-21 16:58:04

I’ve had to bring Thor in now, he’s been jingling all afternoon and drawn quite a crowd. The little elves from the school across the road joined in with singing and it looked like a proper little Christmas scene
Think we should do that every afternoon, get some chestnuts roasting and mulled poteen too … we’ll make a fortune

AGAA4 Mon 13-Dec-21 14:57:39

That was a good idea doodle. He has cheered up and is happily standing outside in his Santa costume jingling his bells.
Bjorn and I are working much better without his reproachful looks.

Doodle Mon 13-Dec-21 11:47:30

Ruffled feathers…..oh no. Thor’s not gone and got himself dressed up as a Thanksgiving turkey again ?. He keep getting muddled. Someone put him in a Santa outfit and get him to stand outside the Argy shouting Ho Ho Ho to attract the customers.

brook2704 Sun 12-Dec-21 16:03:24

I’ll have a with Sven Aga he’s sure to be able to smooth Thors ruffled feathers ..

AGAA4 Sun 12-Dec-21 09:04:23

Big Bjorn is a boon to brewing. He is lifting 2 barrels at a time up to the bar. What a man!
Thor is jealous and is complaining about Bjorn taking his job. Now Sven has gone home he has returned to the cellar. I told him as he deserted his post at a very busy time he is lucky he still has a job.
He is stirring the poteen angrily and pouting.
Haven't we enough trouble with May Hem and Alarma without Thor being a diva too.

Doodle Sun 12-Dec-21 00:00:02

Oh , I think I’ve put my back out. All that sashaying about with my padded bum sticking out has done for me. I need some poteen and a sit down on something soft. I’m going for a cuddle with Gnasher.
Good luck with Bjorn brook . I’ve heard he’s a bit of a mover and shaker…….although is that making cocktails ?

brook2704 Sat 11-Dec-21 21:15:52

Good on you Doodle off you go

I’ll put on my blonde wig and platform shoes to duet with Bjorn later

Doodle Sat 11-Dec-21 21:07:34

Phew, I didn’t think we were going to get away with that one.
Poor Sir Tom.
How about we put the karaoke on and do a turn.
I could do a good Beyoncé impression …….if you turn the lights down low . ?

brook2704 Sat 11-Dec-21 20:53:54

I’ll just pass more poteen round, that’ll keep everyone happy until we sort out a new act ..

ixion Sat 11-Dec-21 20:51:12

Thank goodness for that.
Not much can lower the tone of the Argy, but he really plumbs the depths

lemongrove Sat 11-Dec-21 20:48:40

Wow! Just look at Steamy go!
He is being chased by a horde of screaming harpies throwing their bloomers at him.I expect he will gather them up later and take them to his laundry ( the bloomers not the harpies.)
That’s if he escapes....I see Big Brenda from the chip shop is gaining on him down Pigstrotters Alley.

ixion Sat 11-Dec-21 20:48:13

But I harvested the seaweed for it from Barry, doodle, trying to make it proper aufentik.

brook2704 Sat 11-Dec-21 20:45:53

Let’s just get him off the stage now … where’s Bjorn he can sing can’t he?.

lemongrove Sat 11-Dec-21 20:45:26

It may have been your baked offerings that tipped him over the edge ixion barry brith is a terrible substance, next time bring bara brith.?

ixion Sat 11-Dec-21 20:39:51

Steamy Stan?
This is truly an assault on the senses - all of them?

brook2704 Sat 11-Dec-21 20:39:36

Wot no Sir Tom?. .. ?

ixion Sat 11-Dec-21 20:38:44

You'd have thought that coming from the valleys, he'd have had more stamina...
I'll take him in some of my barry brith so he doesn't feel too homesick.

lemongrove Sat 11-Dec-21 20:28:33

Bad news girls! The beans clashed with the pep pills, viagra and a pint of poteen, poor Sir Tom has just gone to A&E in a taxi, so that’s him well out of it for tonight.We shall have to try and get him back next weekend.
Meanwhile, so that nobody is too disappointed, Steamy Stan is willing to take to the stage, strip off and sing What’s New Pussycat! 1...2....3....here he comes!

Doodle Sat 11-Dec-21 20:02:30

Er can you slip him a double dose AGA. I think after last night he will certainly need it. I’ve seen Grannygravy in the queue for his attention and you know what she’s like ?
