Sod relaxing Doodle I’ve got the Welsh ⚽️ team coming in later to celebrate - get your glad rags on while I make some ? they’ll be ravishing us ravenous ?‍♀️

Oooh there you are Doodle I’ve been watching out for you, it’s been so quiet in The Argy today, the llamas have been gently swaying, May Hem has gone out with her new friend Kay Oss and Bjorn and Sven have been lolling in the hammocks all afternoon

Oooh pantglas ?

Back now with the keys for later.
Had a bit of an issue with May Hem's old man.
He wants his chara back but Laura and Squeeze are busy on the back seat still.

Actually, I paraphrase. His language was a lot, well, earthier than that. Though I'd heard it all in the Argy but - -

We should offer ?s for endurance. Impressive.

Anyone got a Tom Jones cassette for Pantglas?
I will bring leeks to wave. (I don't do cultural stereotyping btw, rest assured).

Wot Pants for goodness sake you could have given us some warning. What shall I wear, how many are there, oh my goodness.
Poteen barrels on the bar, left over sausage rolls and pork scratchings. Cum on everyone let’s party ? party ?

ixion Sun 05-Jun-22 20:31:58

Can we still keep a couple of ?? flags up, please, in the interests of solidarity?

ixion Sun 05-Jun-22 20:45:25

Ooh, that sounds a bit party-pooperish?
Apols.

Perhaps ? will pop in to top up her interesting sausage rolls
Lava bread wraps, anyone?

Doodle Sun 05-Jun-22 20:56:29

Not at all Ixion I agree with you. Keep those Ukrainian flags flying,
Er lava bread…from the volcano. …that’s a novelty. What next

ixion Sun 05-Jun-22 20:58:48

You could move this to Pedants' Corner

I know my place ?

Doodle Sun 05-Jun-22 21:55:12

No Ixion we would never move you to Pedant’s corner. You’re far too valuable here. I was only joking about the lava bread. Is that he one made from seaweed or have I gone completely bonkers (er. No don’t answer that ?)
Don’t look now but a coach load of rugby players have turned up. Oooh they’re all covered in mud…anyone for a shower ?

ixion Sun 05-Jun-22 22:10:02

?Are we among friends here??
(Whispers) I never realised it wasn't lava ?

ixion Sun 05-Jun-22 22:10:58

Tough - I've got all the soap?

ixion Sun 05-Jun-22 22:25:19

Well folks, showers to run, backs to lather scrub?
GSM will have a pink fit when she comes in tomorrow ????.
May be some time, so I've left the key under the mat.

Next time someone finds a Reason to Celebrate, let us know!
Yoy have all been fantastic company, so -
thank you!

Doodle Sun 05-Jun-22 22:36:55

ixion ssh! Neither did I. I thought it was Lava too. ?

Wot. No. I want some soap too. Bubbles over here please.
Wait for me Ixion. You’re not getting them all to yourself.
Thanks all for a good time x
