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?
The brewing is going well. The poteen fountain is a good idea.
Very hot down here in the cellar. Think it may be because Bjorn, Thor and Sven are all wearing thongs and most of the female staff are down here 'helping'.
Wow brook that looks amazing. It’s hardly recognisable as the Argy (which is probably just as well)
Love the outfit. No fear of not being pulled tonight then.
Poteen fountain what a brilliant idea.
Happyme that’s stunning. Mind you keep clear of the Admiral tonight. He loves women in boots.
AGA impressive stocks of poteen. Those bloomers are an amazing colour.
muse your costume is very …..tasteful (or should that be tasty)
AGA you are right it is so hot here in the cellar ?. The boys are very fit aren’t they…?
doodle and Maddy you need to go up for some fresh air and stop swooning into Bjorn's strong manly arms.
He is enjoying it too much.
Yes it is me brook. It's amazing how poteen preserves us all. None of us look older than 25.
Soo tasteful!
That'll knock the Kitcheners for six - and go some way to restoring our reputation?...
With Muse's haggis pasties as amuses-bouches, the evening will be memorable.
(Who's chaperoning George?)
I’ll go if he’ll carry me up AGA sigh…..
Wow brook that poteen fountain looks amazing.
Psst. I think we’ll have to cancel the Panto. Our leading man Thor has lost his voice and the Admiral is offering to stand in…..don’t think so, thank you.
However, don’t mention it to May Hem and Dyna because I’ve just finished sewing them into their pantomime horse costume and sent them off down Pigs Trotter Ally to advertise our New Years party tonight.
I wonder if Soop will venture in. Be nice to raise a glass or two to her or even a wee ?.
Ixion last time I saw George he was with Lemon she was muttering something about a new gadget she wanted to try out.
Hope you’re all ready for action tonight. The bar is well stocked so we should be ok just hope it all lasts out till midnight.
Oh by the way I sent Sven off to get some fireworks for us to see in the new year with. I hope he gets on ok…his English isn’t very good ?
Just seen Sven with a lady?on each arm. Told me managed to buy some cheap Sparklers. They were only £5 each.
? muse . Well I suppose I did tell him to find something with a big bang, ?
You all look.....amazing! I see you pinched my costume left on a hanger at Madame Pom Pom’s Doodle
and I so wanted to come as a Christmas Pud!
Never mind, in the spirit of the times I forgive you and managed to find another creation at the back of the wardrobe,
Yes, I know! It’s really for Halloween and is big round and orange but it was all that would fit me.
The Admiral just came up to me and asked if I had ‘just been
Tango’ed’ , bloody cheek! I shan’t be rolling up his gangplank later on, that’s for sure.
Oops sorry lemon . Ooh you could be a chocolate orange, they are popular at Christmas. If I drizzle some chocolate sauce down the outside no one would know it’s a pumpkin. ?
Mmmmmm, a big jug of poteen on the bar with fruity bits floating in it, you have surpassed yourself in the brewing dept AGA ????hic!
I have recommended you for a New Year gong ?for your selfless devotion to the Argy in spending most of the year in the cellar with Thor on brewing duties, above and beyond the
Call of duty.
brook I have recommended a gong for you too....exemplary
Use of costumes and for keeping the lavs sparkling.?
Doodle yours is for most amusing insults to punters and staff and for keeping us all on our toes?
muse ?for baking skills and reminding us all to always wear our corsets and wigs ( and for taking care of said wigs.)
ixion ? for keeping George chained to the Nespresso machine and for catching him when he escapes.
maddyone and LauraNorrder ?? gongs for being on Llama duties whenever we needed you this year, we know they aren’t an easy bunch!
Happyme a?for being our 1,000,000th customer in 2021.
Well done, faithful servants ( teehee)?????
Oooh thank you so much lemon what an impressive list of gongs ? I’m
so thrilled to be nominated
Oh lemon (curtsying) thank you. I’m completely overcome.
I’ve never had a gong before. I’ve come over all unnecessary.
Thank you Lady Lemongrove for this tremendous honour.
I won’t let you down.
Time for someone to start the karaoke I think. I’ll go first.
? Roll out the barrel. ? Come on now join in all.
There’s a long line of limos queuing along pigstrotter alley .. our VIPs are just starting to arrive
Lemon I am touched. (mostly by the Admiral) I have never had a gong before.
As we all have gongs they may protect us from some of the missiles that get thrown at us during a usual sedate evening at the Argy.
All the outfits look great especially the padded ones. I didn't have to pad mine ?
Rolling, rolling rolling out a barrel....I love a bit Tina Turner. Wow you all look sooo delicious! And what a cracker you are Brook. Please, please pretty please can I chaperone gorgeous George.
Wow a gong....for me
, I have never been so honoured. Now where is that fabulous poteen fountain
The poteen fountain is looking a bit wobbly - I’ll stand nearby in case we need to stabilise
Oh no! I must have made it a bit too strong.
Are you sure it's not you wots wobbly Brook!!
A poteen fountain !! Where have I been all my life??
I'm so impressed, honoured, overcome with emulsion...to be here in the amazing twinkly Argy, well done Brook.
My costume is tame by comparison but I hope my sparkly top and wobbly heels will impress/ entice the pipers, when are they arriving?
Well now that I've had a wee poteen cocktail, here we go!!
?? Trailer for sale or rent, rooms to let 50 cents...??
Cheers, Soop, wishing you all the very best for your surgery, and Happy New Year to all!
Oops, I've just spotted the pipers...I may be some time, talk amongst yourselves ??
