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

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)?????

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. ?

You all look.....amazing! I see you pinched my costume left on a hanger at Madame Pom Pom’s Doodle tchangry 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.

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 18:32:40

? muse . Well I suppose I did tell him to find something with a big bang, ?

muse Fri 31-Dec-21 18:31:08

Just seen Sven with a lady?on each arm. Told me managed to buy some cheap Sparklers. They were only £5 each.

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 17:59:57

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 ?

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 17:56:48

Crumbs AGA you look amazing. I’ve had to change my costume for tonight as I couldn’t get in it. I’ve gone for something a little more …….roomy. What do you think.

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 17:54:48

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 Fri 31-Dec-21 16:50:25

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?)

AGAA4 Fri 31-Dec-21 16:42:04

Yes it is me brook. It's amazing how poteen preserves us all. None of us look older than 25.

brook2704 Fri 31-Dec-21 16:19:25

Oh wow - that poteen fountain looks marvellous even though I say so myself
Is that you doing the topping up Aga?

AGAA4 Fri 31-Dec-21 11:51:41

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.

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 11:33:29

AGA you are right it is so hot here in the cellar ?. The boys are very fit aren’t they…?

Doodle Fri 31-Dec-21 11:31:30

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)

AGAA4 Fri 31-Dec-21 10:59:05

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'.

muse Fri 31-Dec-21 09:27:41

Chef has pinched my Widow Twanky bloomers to make the haggis so he’s lent me his costume.

I’m banned from the kitchen maddy. Chef blamed me for the loss of the shenanigan potion.

brook2704 Fri 31-Dec-21 08:18:58

Oh and I promised to give you all a sneak preview of my outfit - I know it’s a bit subtle for me but I just wanted to blend in…

brook2704 Fri 31-Dec-21 08:16:34

I’m in early to polish the lavs and check we’re all ready for later
The poteen fountain is ready to flow - the box actually said chocolate fountain but I thought what the heck it’s the argy after all
Need a bit of help making the canapés to go with muses pasties so I’ll get May and Dyna onto it later

AGAA4 Fri 31-Dec-21 07:21:30

Happyme good to see you. Like the boots.
brookyou've made the Argy look amazing. I have never seen it look so clean. The 20 bottles of bleach helped. We need to keep the llamas out and the Admiral.

Bjorn is very impressed with my new shocking pink bloomers. He wants to use them as a tent for him and whichever lady he chooses for tonight.

Happyme Fri 31-Dec-21 00:30:40

Hoping to sneak out to join the NYE party , having to sew my own outfit from some cast offs I found. Have purloined grin a few bits of bling to add a bit of bejazzle.

brook2704 Thu 30-Dec-21 23:12:16

There we go - all set up ready for tomorrow

Doodle Thu 30-Dec-21 23:06:42

Cough splutter ??? Lemon in that slinky outfit. Well I suppose she might fit in the veil ?

maddyone Thu 30-Dec-21 22:49:10

icion I can’t help you out I’m afraid, I’ve eaten far too many mince pies and Christmas cake. Maybe lemon could help you out.

maddyone Thu 30-Dec-21 22:47:34

That’s a lovely outfit for the errr pantomime muse. Anyway, you’ll be busy with the haggis pasties I think, and you’ll probably get hot and take a few bits off. Or you could try Sexy Sadie’s.
I think I’ll give a hand with the poteen making since AGA trained me, and I think I need to master watching Bjorn in his thong the haggis poteen recipe.

brook2704 Thu 30-Dec-21 22:15:12

Oh muse what a birthday bash that was
Many happy returns of the day! ?❤️???
