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…….

Oh, chaps?

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….

AGAA4 Thu 11-Aug-22 19:22:26

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

ixion Thu 11-Aug-22 19:17:07

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.

Shirley48 Thu 11-Aug-22 19:14:39

Ooh, get you, Doodle - sausage on a stick. Would that be a chipolata?

Doodle Thu 11-Aug-22 19:04:56

AGA if we’re going on a cruise it means we have to be a bit posh. How about a poteen cocktail with a sausage on a stick rather than a cherry.
Pants Anton at your rear and a wind up your willows….don’t tell Miss. ?

I’m not a cruiser, but I can see you all in the Argy (I spotted Sven if he’s the one with a hint of Brad Pitt). Have a fabulous time!

A vegan cocktail, pincers?

pincers Thu 11-Aug-22 18:24:34

Count me in, if I can be spared serious kulcher and learning more languages. Freedom of expression will be very welcome ... and freedom to eat and drink whatever I like. Is AGA brewing up a special poteen? If not, anything alcoholic will do. I'm parched and I'm not choosy - as you may have guessed.

A cruise? Could we lob in some culture, do you think?

I think I saw a box of films below decks - they might provide a cultural evening? They had titles like Hot sights not to miss, Behind the Cathedral, ^What to see along the seafront at night^…..

Pittcity Thu 11-Aug-22 17:08:45

Culture? You mean like admiring the architecture in Amsterdam?

ixion Thu 11-Aug-22 16:51:49

Hello fellow Smutties.
(My nan had a cat with a splodge on his nose in the 1950s. It was no fun, believe you me, as a small child standing on the step bashing its meal time bowl and calling "Smuttie").

Anyhow, I digress/divert/derail, or whatever. ?

No shortage of floozies at the Argy. Think I will have Hot Night on Deck and a drink as well.

Pantglas2 Thu 11-Aug-22 16:45:17

Maybe with us norty gurls we should call it the Flooze Cruise….? we have had our moments haven’t we Doodle…?

I rather fancy a Titanic ?thrill on the bow with Anton at my the rear ?‍?

AGAA4 Thu 11-Aug-22 16:37:51

Ooh a booze cruise. Should I start brewing up? One of the hunky waiters can help me stir it.

Doodle Thu 11-Aug-22 14:44:56

Yes Shirley . I like when it comes in waves ? ?

Shirley48 Thu 11-Aug-22 14:11:44

I’m sure that do, ixion. After all, “All the nice girls love a sailor”

I love the word smut grin

ixion Thu 11-Aug-22 14:07:17

Do sailors do hen parties?
(Smut optional)

Shirley48 Thu 11-Aug-22 13:48:50

Do you like it by the seaside, Doodle?

Doodle Thu 11-Aug-22 13:41:17

Oh I do like a sailor ?.

Pittcity Thu 11-Aug-22 13:36:27

A booze cruise, of course ?

Shirley48 Thu 11-Aug-22 13:04:46

Hopefully not, Ixion - life is not worth living (in my opinion) without a sense of humour.

Maybe we should take to the water? An Argy cruise?!

ixion Thu 11-Aug-22 11:34:52

MawtheMerrier

Just a quick pic of the last GN Meet up in the Argy.
To preserve anonymity I won’t tell you which ones are who but Doodle, Shirley, Pantson, AGAA4, Prentice, Pittcity et al - you know who you are! ,

Aha.
Now this is my definition of
mixed company.

Oh dear will I never ever be rid of that
'Argy humour'??‍♀️

Doodle Thu 11-Aug-22 11:00:06

Maw good job that photo was taken before we played strip poker (the Pants version ………need I say more ?)

Pittcity Thu 11-Aug-22 10:44:56

Maw, I remember how I wanted to sort out that waiter's mantlepiece!
