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

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!

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

Tough - I've got all the soap?

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

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

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 20:58:48

You could move this to Pedants' Corner

I know my place ?

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 20:45:25

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

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

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

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

Doodle Sun 05-Jun-22 20:27:49

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 19:53:47

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).

brook2704 Sun 05-Jun-22 19:26:51

Oooh pantglas ?

brook2704 Sun 05-Jun-22 19:26:07

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

Pantglas2 Sun 05-Jun-22 19:25:31

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 ?‍♀️

Doodle Sun 05-Jun-22 19:15:22

Well what a few days we have had.
I’m just going to settle back here with the boys…….all of them ? and have a nice relaxing jug of poteen. Then I may stack the dishwasher……Bjorn where are you, sweep up the sawdust …you can do that Thor and when ixion gets here with the keys we can enjoy the rest of the evening before closing time.
Thanks for all the company ?

Doodle Sat 04-Jun-22 23:19:14

Night night, ixion
Night night all
Sleep tight
Mind the bugs don’t bite…….especially if you’ve been rolling in the hay….
Nice day ?

ixion Sat 04-Jun-22 22:43:24

Well, we're clip-clopping back down the Mall to Hyde Park Barracks. Lots of stalls, deep straw, peace and quiet. Well that's me and Mr.PB sorted. Plenty of ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️ if I need to stretch my legs.

The chara awaits, when you've had your cuppas.
Oh, and no souvenirs svp.

Lovely night, lovely company (as ever?)

Doodle Sat 04-Jun-22 22:41:21

Yes well done all. Thanks for the chara ixion . Is it booked to take us back….ixion …where are you…anyone seen her….
She’s doing what….checking the Queen’s lavs to see if they’re up to Argy standards. Well I never. ?

brook2704 Sat 04-Jun-22 22:34:05

Definitely a night to remember thanks everyone ?
Err … how are we all getting home?

Doodle Sat 04-Jun-22 22:28:00

ixion I’ve come over all emotional. ?. What a night.

ixion Sat 04-Jun-22 22:08:37

Everybody stand up, poteen down, it's our man.
Yes, you can wave that Argy banner, very tasteful.
Then we'll nip round the back, ask for Jeeves' cousin and say Mrs. May Hem sent us.
Contacts, y'know?

brook2704 Sat 04-Jun-22 21:46:59

Think she’s asleep Doodle but I think we could sneak into the kitchen and see who’s there ..

Doodle Sat 04-Jun-22 21:43:04

Personally I think I’d rather have a cuddle with Paddington…..and a bite of his marmalade sandwich. Do you think the Queen would mind if we popped in for a cuppa?
