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

Was it that purple grass they have at the llama training centre? The slapapuncture does seem to work. Can we try it on the Admiral. He has been over frisky lately.

brook2704 Thu 14-Dec-23 19:58:27

Oh Aga I am fully trained in Slapapuncture now and got my stiff git to prove it but I’ve never tried it on a real person .. do you think I would be safe?

brook2704 Thu 14-Dec-23 19:59:02

Yes the purple grass .. they all seemed to like it

brook2704 Thu 14-Dec-23 19:59:55

Maybe we can grow some ourselves in the roof garden

AGAA4 Thu 14-Dec-23 20:11:51

Good idea brook. The llamas can graze up there. As you have a stiff git
in slapapuncture I'm sure you could work wonders on the Admiral but he may like it too much 😧

Doodle Thu 14-Dec-23 21:39:46

Ooh good idea about the purple grass. Growing it on the roof could keep the heating costs down too.
brook you could have your stiff git framed and mounted. We could advertise your services in the bar.

Have we got a gramaphone?
I've dug out some old records for tonight's shindig!

Pittcity Fri 15-Dec-23 13:12:58

Bloomin heck!!

Pittcity Fri 15-Dec-23 13:13:41

Good Lord - not Rick's brother?
They don't look a bit alike🤔

brook2704 Fri 15-Dec-23 16:01:53

Doodle Fri 15-Dec-23 19:12:42

There's a Facebook group called Bad Album covers, some are priceless!!!

Who’s behind the bar tonight? I’ve been waiting for my triple Christmas sleigh ride smoothie with double cream for ages. I might even have to climb down of the stool and get it myself. Hamish where are you and what’s your sporran doing hanging from the rafters 🤔

Oreo Fri 15-Dec-23 21:45:45

Who’s the stiff git? No, don’t tell me am better off not knowing.
I’ve been waiting ages to be serviced Doodle must say am disappointed what with all these hunks about the place.Nobody behind the bar for the last hour but I can hear weird noises coming from the cellar, shall we investigate?

Oreo Fri 15-Dec-23 21:47:35

Cor! Pittcity I fancy the one in the blazer and tie and very little else? Is he Fat Wang?

Doodle Fri 15-Dec-23 22:19:51

Oreo you need to check your eyesight. It’s the sausage machine with a tartan cover over the top. 😱

Pittcity Sat 16-Dec-23 16:44:27

Just to let everyone know.
After much soul-searching I have decided not to send Christmas cards this year.
Including postage, I normally spend around £100 on cards each year and generally the cards just end up in the bin and subsequently in landfill.
This is obviously a dreadful waste.
To counter this waste I have decided to take the £100 to the Argy and swap it for gin and any other alcoholic beverage that takes my fancy, massively reducing my ability to give a fu@k what anyone else thinks!
I'm sure you'll support me in this utterly selfish act. 🥃🍷🍺🥳🤪

Merry Christmas 🤣🤣🤣

LauraNorderr Sat 16-Dec-23 18:22:13

I am more than happy to join you in this utterly shellfish act Pitt and will put my own £100 behind the Argy Bar to share with all the other shellfish guys. Line em up Hamish.

LauraNorderr Sat 16-Dec-23 18:33:17

I have been away aboard the HMS Culture McBoatface.
The hunky Captain Ivor Stamma had me at H H Hello, then again an hour later, etc.
He said he wanted to feel my b…b…bag in case I was carrying contraband
He asked me if I wanted a fff…fff…fish supper.
Then he said he’d rip off my pa…pa… packa Mac as it had stopped raining.
Phwoar what an exhausting few days.
Now who let the sprouts boil dry?
Who’s manning the bar?

Doodle Sat 16-Dec-23 21:34:59

Don’t worry Laura the sprouts will be fine I’ve scraped all the burnt bits off the bottom and filled the pot again. They are boiling nicely now and the burnt bits have been used in tonight’s bubble and squeak 🐭 supper dish.
Hamish is still trying to get his sporran down for the ceiling fan (that girls been up there for days 🤔) and I’ve been helping Thor polish his hammer in the cellar.
Llamas broke into the poteen stash and are sleeping it off in the corner.

Pittcity Sat 16-Dec-23 22:03:00

Who snuck in and took a photo of me in the back office?

Doodle Sun 17-Dec-23 20:45:43

Now come on Pittcity you’re just being greedy. Pass them round. 🤣

Doodle Mon 18-Dec-23 17:29:44

Excuse me, I’m not looking after this place all in my own 😡
I’ve cleaned the loos, washed the glasses (well wiped them over a bit) . Got the bar ready and made some freshly baked sausage rolls for the bar snacks. I admit they do look a little strange, a bit long and spindly but that’s what comes out of the machine.

brook2704 Mon 18-Dec-23 18:03:22

Awww Doodle what a trooper you are ! I think everyone is down at the Pig and Whistle, it’s speed dating there on a Monday
