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

George and I will snuggle cosily à deux in the corner by the Nespresso machine watching all these antics with a slightly bemused air.
Is it also Panto Nite with all those, er, suggestive outfits?
Who else is up for grabs?

Not to worry about Lord L’s lobster, he has just sent me a message via one of his carrier pigeons to say he is getting his own supper as he knows we are busy here, has found a tin of stewed steak which looks most appetising and is heating it up with some tinned carrots.Dear man! The carrots are fine but we have no stewed steak, it’s a tin of Pedigree Chum.I expect he will enjoy it, after all he had 5 years at a minor public
school in the past.

I have special bloomers from Madame Pom Poms all ready to throw at him! Remember when the llamas had to go there to collect a big parcel of bloomers for us all? We all had different colours and there may have been a fight over the maroon ones.

There's bound to be a scramble or scrum to get to him first.
Those with the sharpest elbows usually win.

I really hope there’s not going to be any squabbling over Tom tomorrow …

Doodle Thu 09-Dec-21 13:56:21

Tom can pull me anytime he likes ?

Doodle Thu 09-Dec-21 13:55:46

Oh I’m so disappointed. I thought Thor was showing me a sign of affection but it was only the lobster ? pinching my bum.
If you can get it off AGA Lord Lemongrove can still have his supper.
Anyone got a soft cushion for me to sit on ?

brook2704 Thu 09-Dec-21 13:55:32

I’ll head down to the cellar and check we’ve enough poteen for tomorrow night. Toms sure to pull in a crowd

maddyone Thu 09-Dec-21 13:48:31

I think the poteen is very good, it has a certain je ne sais quoi. I’m assuming it must be the lobster, or the crab. Lord Lemongrove might miss his lobster, I suggest giving him a good swig of the poteen instead.

AGAA4 Thu 09-Dec-21 13:41:46

I wish Thor would crack his nuts using the proper utensil. The lobster was for Lord Lemon grove's dinner.

brook2704 Thu 09-Dec-21 13:38:17

Saw Thor using it as a nutcracker earlier

AGAA4 Thu 09-Dec-21 13:14:54

Sorry about the fishy poteen. Bit of an accident with a delivery. Has anyone found the lobster ??

lemongrove Thu 09-Dec-21 09:09:58

Yes, but give it a swill out first Doodle

This poteen tastes a bit fishy.....is there supposed to be a small crab in it?

Doodle Wed 08-Dec-21 23:10:05

If we can’t find Aladdin’s lamp will my old teapot do?

Doodle Wed 08-Dec-21 23:06:39

Oh not me ixion they’re Lemons stockings. She won’t be pleased ?. Mind you she’s does like a fancy balls.
lemon with a chest like yours you will certainly knock someone’s eye out if you dress like Madonna.
Wow Maddyone hope Santa doesn’t have a hot flush when he sees you in that outfit.
Ooh Princess Jasmine. I like the sound of that. I hope Madame Pom Pom can come up with a suitable outfit.

maddyone Wed 08-Dec-21 23:02:34

It’s a good you gave me a lesson in poteen making AGA because with you away with Thor all that time I had to get cracking. Anyway it’s ready now, so help yourselves ladies before the Admiral swigs the lot.
Now where is Thor?

ixion Wed 08-Dec-21 21:37:29

Oh, oops, Doodle, sorry about that.
Look on the, erm, Christmas tree in the Bar?

lemongrove Wed 08-Dec-21 21:24:27

Has anyone seen my fish nets?

lemongrove Wed 08-Dec-21 21:23:44

He’s after their pasties....the shameless Scandi!
I too have just had a fitting for a frock at Madame Pom Pom’s,
It will knock your eyes out.It’s modelled on a Madonna outfit
( not the religious one) and I will have to be careful to not eat much while wearing it....

AGAA4 Wed 08-Dec-21 20:48:12

Thor has abandoned his duties after one glance at muse and Maddy in their outfits. I will have to drag him away or he will be drooling all night.

brook2704 Wed 08-Dec-21 20:36:08

Perfect ixion thanks a million
We’ve got the costumes from Madam Pom Poms, we just need to find the magic lamp that Thor was looking for earlier
We may need a few extra Christmas dinner pasties for the interval please muse

ixion Wed 08-Dec-21 20:22:24

Here we are. Any more props wanted?

muse Wed 08-Dec-21 20:05:59

Wow ixion, killer heels are definitely needed with my outfit. That way I'll be able to climb up the tree.

Chef says the Christmas Dinner pasties will have to be mega size this time lemon. They are three course ones. Two hands needed for these beauts. He's giving them a sparkly egg wash so I wouldn't put them too near a naked flame, if I was you.

Them boots sure ain't made for walking in Doodle.

brook2704 Wed 08-Dec-21 19:44:47

Lovely outfits for the Xmas bash, they’ll certainly be a talking point
It’s Aladdin this year Doodle and if no one objects you can have the staring role as Princess Jasmine with both feel firmly on the ground this year - please ?‍♀️

AGAA4 Wed 08-Dec-21 19:41:34

You are looking very glamorous in your outfits. May have to have a trip to Madame Pom Poms.
