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…….

Baggy - have you thought of using the fat bangers as decoration for the jelly?
Like this?
Or is a bit, well, common??

Autocorrect error should be poteen !

I can't get my potential ice lollies to set and have had to just drink the slush rather than waste it. Can no longer taste anything.

My Cosmopolitan jellies have turned out a bit better but need a bit more work. They don't really go along with big fat bangers though, need some slightly more refined nibbles for those. Any ideas?

Hello Happyme ( waves furiously ).
Haven't seen you for ages - I think our exploits with the chara in Sarfend have gone down in the annals of Argy history.
Will look out for you propped up the bar as ever x

Love those poteen lollies Doodle...interesting flavour, can't quite figure out what it is....possibly eau de sausage and a hint of ....errmm cheese ????? ?

I miss Lemon too. We had a lot of fun in the Argy back then.

FannyCornforth Mon 15-Aug-22 09:40:42

Yes, Kate, she was ridiculously witty.
If I’m honest (and I am!) I was totally in awe of how quick and funny she was, and that’s why I didn’t join in her threads!
One of the first things I did when I joined GN was read loads of the old Argy threads; the ones where they had theme nights.
They really were comic genius.

So here’s to Lemon and all the Argy Regulars! ?????

NanKate Mon 15-Aug-22 08:06:57

Thanks Fanny for the info about Lemongrove. I miss her humour.

FannyCornforth Mon 15-Aug-22 05:18:10

Lemon’s fine Kate.
She just decided to go, nothing funny, no one else involved; she just wanted to have an extended break. She said her goodbyes and said that she might pop in at Christmas?

NanKate Sun 14-Aug-22 21:37:35

Am I allowed to ask what has happened to Lemongrove who used to host threads like this ? I hope she is ok.

ixion Sun 14-Aug-22 21:27:35

They're Rockets in that case Doodle. Did you lair (as posh Mary Berry would say) with different colours?

You know Mivvies are my fave. We had them on the Cruise for pud. Love 'em.
Outer lair just as you'd been expecting, bite a little deeper and the unexpected reveals itself.
Like life's rich panoply ?

Pantglas2 Sun 14-Aug-22 21:23:41

Oh Doodle I know you’ll recognise those condominiums from our speriences in the bike shed… we always knew to add salt, pepper etc to all Skool dinners didn’t we??

Doodle Sun 14-Aug-22 21:09:11

No ixion but I have made some poteen ice lollies.
I couldn’t find anything to make them in so I used some condoms out of the machine. Unusual shape but very tasty. ?

ixion Sun 14-Aug-22 15:37:15

Got any Mivvies, perchance?
?

Prentice Sun 14-Aug-22 15:35:57

phew, what a scorcher, I have dropped in for a cooling glass of iced tea, or if that is not possible here, then an iced rum.
have brought my own personal bangers with me as sausages may be bland, and I must have extra spicy ones.

Baggytrazzas Sun 14-Aug-22 15:30:55

Well that's just fine then, a very good use of the hose facilities on offer. It's important we maintain some degree of cleanliness, even though our minds may not always follow that path. I may pop by later when its cooler.

ixion Sun 14-Aug-22 14:05:28

But look how shiny clean the front mats are, Baggy?

Baggytrazzas Sun 14-Aug-22 14:02:53

I've had a look along the street a couple of times but it seems to be closed. Rumour has it that it has run out of water, something to do with hoses?

BigBertha1 Fri 12-Aug-22 22:27:50

2 traditional martinis please with a twist no olive and then catch me. Already outside 2 g and rd and a couple of glasses of vino collapso. I did win the golf comp today.

ixion Fri 12-Aug-22 22:22:29

BBQ tomorrow evening?

AGAA4 Fri 12-Aug-22 14:53:28

Just be thankful the Admiral hasn't joined you. Sorry in he goes. He has more arms than an octopus.

Shirley48 Fri 12-Aug-22 14:45:21

Ooh, ouch, ooooh, ouch…….you could have told me earlier, AGA

AGAA4 Fri 12-Aug-22 14:39:59

Be careful in there Shirley. The admiral has put his dinner in there till later. Lobsters.

Shirley48 Fri 12-Aug-22 14:24:39

Ooh, soya sausages, Lucca ?!

SO hot here. Might have to skinny dip in the pool …….

GrannyGravy13 Fri 12-Aug-22 14:22:57

Pittcity

Got some new sausage holders for the barbeque!

Where can I get them?
