I will have one of those cocktails grandmabatty. Sounds nice and strong.

My sprouts have been simmering since July. The 'liquor' makes a mighty fine cocktail, mixed with brandy, vodka and gin. I'll bring it with me, if I may?

Aveline Mon 06-Dec-21 18:45:48

Beansprouts? How lovely. I do enjoy refreshing light cuisine. I assume there'll be lobster etc?

As long as he's strong enough to peel the sprouts.

After me Aveline ? Thank you I will return him in tiptop condition, ?‍??

That will make a refreshing change for Thor.

Aveline Mon 06-Dec-21 18:22:05

Oh. Thor is Scandinavian I expect. I'm looking forward to meeting him to discuss modern design trends with sustainable wood. ?

Birdie Thor has finished brewing so he is all yours. Please have him back in good condition by tomorrow.

Oh shock

Don't worry you can drink as much as you like and it has no effect at all at the Argy.

Bridie22 Mon 06-Dec-21 18:08:16

Do you mind if I join you ?and could I borrow Thor for awhile... just to test his powers???‍? please !

Oh shock

I have been down in the cellar brewing for months now. There are gallons of poteen. Thor and I haven't stopped.
We have devised lots of cocktails too.

Nobody stays sober long at the Argy.

Having received a postcard from Fabrice and Antoine now in a maximum security yoga and wellness retreat in Nevada, I find myself without personal assistants just now. Should I venture to your little establishment will I be looked after as I'm accustomed to being? F&B know my little ways and how my cocktails should be prepared. Do you have staff with appropriate skills?

Am I allowed to hide in here? Away from the extremely excited and noisy GC.

If you are making cocktails I’ll have whatever’s going please ?

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.
