Wanted bar staff, pot washers, llama minders, customers in posh frocks.

Then there was the electrician, he was a bit of a shocker

Have you been washing the llamas with the fireman’s hose Brook? They look delightful.

I would like a tour of GGs cellar. There have been quite a few missing since she started coming here. 3 policemen. The health and safety officer and the plumber who came to fix the tap. It's still dripping.

Doodle Fri 08-Dec-23 19:24:56

I wonder if he’s got any handcuffs……🤔

brook2704 Fri 08-Dec-23 19:17:21

I didn’t invite him Doodle but I expect he might show up anyhow after the racket last night

Doodle Fri 08-Dec-23 19:10:56

I wondered what happened to that fireman. I had my eye on him too. Might have known you’d get there first GG
Ooh brook I have always thought Officer Tymeup had a bit of a thing for you. He’s always fiddling with his truncheon when he sees you. Have you invited him to the Argy tonight as a thank you for helping with the llamas?

brook2704 Fri 08-Dec-23 19:03:16

GG 🤫

GrannyGravy13 Fri 08-Dec-23 18:30:16

If you promise not to tell I still have the fireman who came to the Argy many moons ago, I am happy to share…

brook2704 Fri 08-Dec-23 18:24:47

Blimey GG you’ve had him there for 2 years 😳 I’m impressed …
pardon me asking but who else do you have tied up in your basement .. are you telling ? I can keep a secret - honest

GrannyGravy13 Fri 08-Dec-23 18:02:34

Sorry about George Doodle I could let Jude Law out of my basement, he’s been there since we kidnapped him from Mersea Island a couple of years ago.

He has been looked after very well, apart from shaving so he has the beard and I am a feeder so he is nice and portly…

brook2704 Fri 08-Dec-23 17:43:03

Crikey it was tough going with the llamas today - thought I’d take them out for walkies as they’d been so good yesterday but we got delayed at the Christmas market when they decided they’d have a brawl with Santas reindeer - never seen anything like it 🤦‍♀️ .. I’d still be there now except for Officer Tymeup who came to the rescue

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Dec-23 17:15:26

Do you think that I don’t know that you have tried to poach our staff Charleygirl.
Ixion came back looking like an armadillo, she tried to claim that it was one of her concoctions but we could see that you’d tried to poach her. Gawd that water must have been hot.

Doodle Fri 08-Dec-23 13:44:04

See you again tonight then Charleygirl same time as usual, round the back, you can sneak in without anyone seeing you. 😉

Charleygirl5 Fri 08-Dec-23 12:37:20

I should let it be known that I will never be entering that den of iniquity again. It was a total accident. I have never come across anything so common in my life and as for the people working there, not my class, I would certainly never employ any of them to work in any of my residences.

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Dec-23 12:26:27

Sorry to have gone AWOL, woke up on HSS Gritannia, cor this lot can dredge my bottom any time.
As for Father Christmas, maybe someone from Curry’s as they all have beards now

Doodle Thu 07-Dec-23 22:29:33

Talking of Father Christmas, who are we going to get for the part this year. Not point in thinking of Gorgeous George, he’s not been the same since GG finished with him. I hear he’s still stuttering and drooling.
Any ideas?

AGAA4 Thu 07-Dec-23 21:08:24

I've positioned the Admiral under the high wire Doodle so I have a soft landing with my super fast descent. He will stay there after 20 pints of poteen and a busy afternoon entertaining the little darlings from Pigstrotter nursery. Most of them thought he was Father Christmas

Doodle Thu 07-Dec-23 20:07:30

Too true ixion but I’m just pleased the kiddies and Miss Tress were looking the other way when the Admiral decided to give us his version of the song. 😱

Doodle Thu 07-Dec-23 20:05:15

ixion glad to see you’re looking more like your normal self today.
AGA I’ve had the high wire rigged up as you asked for your performance as Furry Godmother. I will be on hand at ground level with the controls just to make sure you have a smooth landing. Now what did the man say ….🤔 press blue button for a slow smooth landing and press the red button for super fast ascent……..or was it the other way round. Never mind I’m sure it will be fine. 😊

ixion Thu 07-Dec-23 19:59:41

Well, that went down splendidly, didn't it? Ken Tynan was very complimentary😳.

Couple of teensy observations.

Inviting Junior 1s was always going to be risky. Did you hear the red headed kiddy with the freckles - "cor look, Miss, they've got a camel". I thought Alarma was going to go for him.

And I think that old staple, the drop down songsheet with the words on? Is Mydingaling really suitable for matinée performances?

Delila Thu 07-Dec-23 18:42:23

Beg your pardon Alarma…. nails it is.

AGAA4 Thu 07-Dec-23 18:37:42

I'm glad you're here brook. Alarma has been stamping her little hoof as she wants diamond earrings to go with her luxury nails.

brook2704 Thu 07-Dec-23 18:31:05

Oh and Alarma was so thrilled with her nails Delila - Diva that she is! (She doesn’t like them being called hooves)

brook2704 Thu 07-Dec-23 18:28:22

Gosh thanks ladies that all went off ok didn’t it, ready for the main event tomorrow
Miss Tress kept all the little kiddies well controlled - we had to feed Alarma extra rations though - we’ll be paying the price tomorrow

Delila Thu 07-Dec-23 15:14:42

No trouble at all Ixion, glad you’re so much better today, just a little residual redness, but nothing much - only someone with a medical inclination, (like me), would ever notice. Have you ever been to me for acupuncture - perhaps that’s how we’ve met?

Those hooves are a picture! You must have an artistic tendency (also like me).
