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

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. 😱

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

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?

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

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.

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. 😉

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.

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

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 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 18:30:16

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 19:03:16

GG 🤫

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 19:17:21

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

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

I wonder if he’s got any handcuffs……🤔

AGAA4 Fri 08-Dec-23 19:28:56

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.

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Dec-23 19:30:35

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

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Dec-23 19:31:38

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

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Dec-23 19:32:40

Panto night tonight. Is everybody ready.

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Dec-23 19:34:53

All the waiters are grumpy, sleepy, dopey, dozy, not one of them is happy tonight.

AGAA4 Fri 08-Dec-23 19:35:46

Having some trouble with my furry godmother outfit. It keeps struggling.

GrannyGravy13 Fri 08-Dec-23 19:42:28

I am definitely keeping the plumber, no negotiation 🚰

You can have the Health and Safety man, but beware he doesn’t like anything which isn’t safe

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Dec-23 19:45:04

I let a lad in earlier, with a little lamp, asked me to rub it, flipping cheek.
I think your costume might need a slurp of poteen to calm it down AGA

LauraNorderr Fri 08-Dec-23 19:46:34

I suppose you can’t leave the plumber GG, it would be a bit of a wrench.

brook2704 Fri 08-Dec-23 19:47:39

Alarmas ready
Not sure about the others yet ,,,
