A warm (phew what a scorcher) welcome to one and all in the all new Argy. Topless waiters a speciality. Cocktails served in pint mugs. Nibbles available…….

We did alright going to Avignon - before your time pincers .
We had fun, shopped for England/Scotland/ wherever, ate well, had visiting chefs, went to Galleries and had special invitations to tour Chateaux.
Well, those of us who were posh enough went.

I will serve the poteen in champagne glasses. As for sausages I prefer thick pork to chipolata but probably not posh enough.

Shirley48 Thu 11-Aug-22 19:26:07

You could make it seem enticingly posh - Porky Pina Coladas, or Special Sausage Sherry…..Bangers in Beer for the chaps….

ixion Thu 11-Aug-22 19:41:33

Oh, chaps?

Shirley48 Thu 11-Aug-22 21:12:09

No chaps? Only chapesses? grin. Oh, yes, it’s hen party style, I forgot.

Doodle Thu 11-Aug-22 21:31:25

I prefer a big banger to a chipolata any day or a saveloy if pushed.

Baggytrazzas Thu 11-Aug-22 21:34:02

just dont serve me a cumberland sausage - the appearance reminds me of something truly awful -that big loosely coiled brown thingy ....

Baggytrazzas Thu 11-Aug-22 21:38:14

I know what it tastes like, as someone once asked me to close my eyes then slipped a bit into my mouth, but although it tasted ok, bit salty maybe, the appearance just puts me right off.

apologies, I've picked up some bad manners from dealing with people on other threads. May I come aboard?

Everyone welcome on board here. Common, posh, vegan, carnivorous…….

I think the evening entertainment is well under way if you can handle it….

Baggytrazzas Thu 11-Aug-22 21:46:58

I think Ill just stay in this bar then, for all time! thank you.

ixion Thu 11-Aug-22 21:50:20

Will you stay for the hosing down when we shut tonight, Baggytrazzas?
All hands on Dec (not Ant), as they say?

Oh I’ve SO missed the ‘Argy’! Lemongrove used to do us proud. ? if you’re reading dear lady.

Anyway it’s hot here in Spain and this cheeky little number caught my eye in the shops on the marina this evening. I had to try it on & decided it’s just right for a night in the ‘Argy’.

‘Hits where it fits’ as my dear old mum used to say! But I’m sure you’ll agree that on this photo taken earlier I do justice to it. Must be all the swimming I’ve done on this holiday, tones the muscles.

I’m heading for the dance floor right now, I can’t wait to shake my booty. Who’s the DJ tonight? Anyone special?

Baggytrazzas Thu 11-Aug-22 23:36:12

Yes Ixion, I've brought my trusty mat along. I'm so into hoses and dampness that I thought this might be a good place to be.

Baggytrazzas Thu 11-Aug-22 23:38:14

Urmstongran, yes, I think I have one of those too, only in a smaller size. Blush isn't really my colour though.

Baggytrazzas Thu 11-Aug-22 23:41:52

Actually, I'm rather tired to be shaking my booty tonight. Last night I was all hot, moist and getting bothered the whole night through - I could hardly sleep, and today was just plain bothersome, so I think I will retreat with my trusty mat and catch you all in the bar tomorrow. I will check first to see where you are. Enjoy the rest of your night x

Surely it'll be a quick sloosh with the washing up water....there's a hosepipe ban you know .......

Shirley48 Fri 12-Aug-22 09:11:09

Someone’s already onto the hosing down……

Baggytrazzas Fri 12-Aug-22 09:22:49

Where do you find that photo of me, Shirley 48?

Off piste… a bit..is that going to get me deleted ? But the worst sausage in the world is Andouillette. It may be French but it is not charmante, or séduisante. It’s just white and gristly.

ixion Fri 12-Aug-22 11:06:19

No photos, please, Lucca.
Delicate constitutions and sensitivities here.
Well, not everywhere, I suppose.

Doodle Fri 12-Aug-22 11:09:28

Shirely I need hosing down quickly…….I’ve just seen the firemen. ?. Talking of white and gristly ……..anyone seen the Admiral?

Baggytrazzas Fri 12-Aug-22 11:13:50

Lucca, I think there could be hundreds of categories of " the worst sausage in the world" . Maybe we could collect some potentials as we sail?
