WANTED staff and punters Argy Bargy under new management

There might night staff, careful not to scare them off, they’re obviously having trouble sleeping to be in The Argy that late

Move over both of you - I’ve got poor ixion and she can’t make it home with all those bandages on her. Don’t let her get too hot though - I’ll bring a homeopathic tincture for her in the morning.
What a shock😱

Forget the tincture.
I'll be in need of a hefty snifter.
You are all very kind😢

Sounding more like yourself already ixion, good for you.

I’m off home,,it’s been a long day, and night 😉

Just got a copy of the Argy Bargy 2024 calendar.

January and February.

There were quite a few punters still draped over the tables from last night so I've encouraged them out into the cold and rain to sober up. The Admiral is still in his usual corner as he is a fixture now. He seems happy cuddling up with Delila.
May Hem and Kay Oss are still drinking so I see trouble ahead when we open.

Pittcity is March any better. It's going to be a long winter

The llamas are all up now and yep Laura they’ve had a good hose down and so has ixion once I’d managed to untangle her from the wall. Shes looking much better now but it’s a shame we can’t say the same about the Admiral
Dress rehearsal for the panto later all the llamas have got their special outfits and the little kiddies from Pigstrotter Alley Primary are due at 4. Best get everyone sobered up B4 then and dangerous objects out of reach Best get Hamish out of the way too
I’m just off now down the market so I’ll take some of those calendars to flog there Pittcity

When Pigstrotter Primary arrive we need the Admiral out of the way too. We can't have him doing his elephant impression again. The 5 year olds were traumatised and everyone else too 😲

AGAA, that’s not me cuddled up with the admiral, I managed to shake him off after our Argentinian Tango. Least said about that the better. I’ve moved on. I’m here to help clear up for the panto before Pigstrotter Primary arrive.

It will be refreshing to see everyone sober for the occasion🤞🏼Put that blow-up hippo out in the barn will you Pitt? It’s caused enough trouble already and heaven forbid we get an explosion of Brassicalissimo all over the children!

Sorry Delila but she was wearing your dress 🤔 Gnasher is in charge of any drunks. He is good at biting bottoms if they get out of order.

I think it’s Charleygirl with the Admiral then. Don’t know where she found my dress though - I put it out in the shed with the llamas after the Brassicalissimo debacle. The Captain lent me a pair of overalls.

Let’s hope Gnasher behaves around the children!

Gnasher will be good but I don't trust Alarma. She will want to upstage everyone else. brook is very good at keeping the llamas calm so hope she will be here soon.

I'm going to be the Furry Godmother. The only costume I could find was for the donkey from last year's nativity.

Isn’t that a two-person job? Uh-oh….I see what you’re playing at!

Thank you for your kind ministrations during what passed as a horrendous night, especially Delila. I'm sure we've met before🤔. I have found a marvellous use for the tubs of Brassicalissiscrub. Works a treat on the llama's hooves. Alarma was thrilled, and needless to say, wanted something a tad different. I have packed her off to TackiNails to add glitter🤦‍♀️.

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).

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

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

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.

Beg your pardon Alarma…. nails it is.

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?

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. 😊
