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

What! Am I missing it. Out my way 🏃🏼‍♀️

Sorry Doodle GG was first there and has gone off with the best of them. All that's left is a 95 year old farmer with bandy legs and dog called Howard. He's hoping to be adopted.

AGAA4 Mon 18-Dec-23 19:34:27

Dyna Mite offered to take Howard but he refused as she looked a bit unstable.

Lumme, it's fast, isn't it?😱.
By the time I'd sat down, tucked my sticks under the seat, put my glasses on and adjusted my hearing aids accordingly, the chap facing me had disappeared and another one was sat there.

Not for me, this modern day stuff.
I'm more a slow burner girl.
You know, Brief Encounter type romance😍😘🥰.

Doodle Mon 18-Dec-23 20:13:43

GG always gets the best of the bunch. It’s not fair.
What are we going to do here to attract the punters?
What about a Miss Argy Bary contest…….or better still a strong man contest. Bags I get to oil all the contestants

Doodle Mon 18-Dec-23 20:15:44

ixion don’t be silly. Every one knows you can’t be in Brief Encounter, you always go commando. 🤸‍♀️

Pittcity Mon 18-Dec-23 20:39:56

Anyone on the lookout for a last minute Christmas present?

Doodle Mon 18-Dec-23 20:49:36

Give it to the Admiral. He’s always legless at Christmas 🤣

ixion Mon 18-Dec-23 20:57:56

Put it in the Grand Christmas Raffle.
I'll see if I can find a left to match.
It's use? Don't ask.

Pittcity Wed 20-Dec-23 09:07:35

Has everyone gone on a booze cruise?

LauraNorderr Wed 20-Dec-23 17:48:18

Are you still there Pittcity, can you hear me, hello, hello, please rescue me.
I was putting the last lot of boiled dry and burnt sprouts in the bin when the cellar door banged shut. I’ve been in here with spiders, cockroaches and eau de llama for two days and not a drop of poteen to deaden the pain.
To make matters worse your stocking filler belonged to Peggy Leggy who could have come to my rescue if her crutches weren’t being used to prop up the two legged table in the bar.

Pittcity Wed 20-Dec-23 18:57:21

So glad you're here LauraN. Thought I'd have to drink by myself. tchwink

ixion Wed 20-Dec-23 19:27:21

Won't buy that, LauraN.
I know what you have been doing. 😜.
But the kiddies will love you, and the Admiral, and Sven, and Thor and ...

Doodle Wed 20-Dec-23 19:58:56

Ooh Laura is that you with your new beard? I knew you’d been growing one for a while. It’s great. You look just like Santa.
Pittcity talking of booze cruise, will you help me unload. I’ve been to the Belgium booze market with the llamas for some supplies. I just bought the cheapest stuff. No idea what it is but the guy selling it said it would blow your knickers off……..at least I think that’s what he meant 🤔

LauraNorderr Wed 20-Dec-23 20:01:55

Okay let’s open the Baileys and keep schtum about my whereabouts.
More baubles on the Christmas tree, free booze for one night only and let’s see how many hunky crackers we can pull.

Doodle Wed 20-Dec-23 20:49:18

I’ve found one. The doorman from Flash Harry’s.
You take his legs and I’ll take his arms. Let’s get him in. The Argy and pull his cracker. 💥

LauraNorderr Wed 20-Dec-23 21:07:39

Don’t let Pitt take his legs, she’ll use them as stocking fillers.

LauraNorderr Wed 20-Dec-23 21:16:06

We could serve a nice crab salad this evening, call it Santa Claws. We need to drum up more business.
I was thinking we could repackage ixion’s smelly soapy products as Lather Christmas.
We could even spray the llama droppings with sparkly spray and sell as baubles.

Looks like Father Christmas has had some.....

Pittcity 🤣🤣

Pittcity Fri 22-Dec-23 16:56:39

Went to get my hair done for Christmas and rushed back to see what I'd missed.......nothing!!!!

LauraNorderr Fri 22-Dec-23 17:46:07

Fabulous hair Pittcity. Hope you don’t come down with tinselitis tonight.

LauraNorderr Fri 22-Dec-23 17:50:35

We want you in good voice for carols tomorrow. Certainly don’t want a silent night.

ixion Fri 22-Dec-23 18:40:47

I'd love to help, Laura, you know me🥰
But I'm afraid I've just had my nails done, so can't tackle anything in the manual labour line.
I think there's quite a few of us, actually.
I'll just drape myself languorously over the bar, if I may.

LauraNorderr Fri 22-Dec-23 19:12:59

Omg ixion, so that’s how you tickled the Admiral’s fancy.
