What will you bring to the party?

Merry Christmas

Alarma didn’t get to eat any of the tinsel therefore no smelly sparkles for her. She got in a huff because she always wants to be the star of the show so she’s eaten all the fairy lights. 😱. Goodness knows what that will produce.
Oreo please go and get that jar of 1945 pickled eggs. They’ll be good for a few years yet. We can served them with the Brussels for bar food.
You can try the karaoke but don’t go wiggling too much doing Big Spender. The Admiral is of a delicate age.

Blimey Laura we’ve missed a trick there, sweep the floor, bag it up and we’ll flog it tomorrow to Porky Pines Farm, they’ll love it

Oreo Fri 19-Dec-25 18:44:08

Can I be next for the karaoke? I can really belt out Big Spender.

Oreo Fri 19-Dec-25 18:42:53

Oh so that’s why The Admiral was telling me war stories earlier! He also told me I was a pretty young thing, and of course, compared to him I really am as he must be 95 at least but still has a twinkle in his eye…

It’ll take more than a bow tie and a monocle to make Muffin classy Brook. Burping in the barmaids face is not classy.

LauraNorderr Fri 19-Dec-25 18:37:23

I wouldn’t worry Oreo. Most of the staff and patrons of the Argy have been pickled since 1945 or thereabouts.

Oreo Fri 19-Dec-25 18:36:38

While in the cellar there was something breathing noisily on my neck, either a llama or The Admiral so I didn’t hang about.

Oreo Fri 19-Dec-25 18:35:14

I found the jar of pickled eggs but will give them a miss, it said best before 1945🤢

Oreo Fri 19-Dec-25 18:32:58

I just stood in something squishy👀

LauraNorderr Fri 19-Dec-25 18:29:02

Well let’s hope it doesn’t have wings when he finally passes it

Laura I think Humpfree has eaten the fairy from the top of the tree. It's missing and he's not looking well. I would keep well away for the next few hours.
Muffin sounds good Brook. I hope the other llamas don't corrupt him.

LauraNorderr Fri 19-Dec-25 16:01:31

Oh no, just realised the llamas have eaten all the tinsel. Not digested it very well, pooee, smelly sparkles.

LauraNorderr Fri 19-Dec-25 16:00:06

The floor is looking very sparkly, glinting in lovely Christmas colours among the straw. Have the fairies been?

I bought some cheeses to add a bit of class, make our own cheese counter.

The smelly 🇫🇷 stuff I have scattered liberally round the moribund tree.
That'll mask the llamas' pong.

ixion Thu 18-Dec-25 21:18:32

Hello Aga😀
Yup, still here. I have been down at the harbour looking for Lady Lemongrove.

Lots of other Ladies 🤔 there. They said they'd be along later.
Hmmmm.

brook2704 Thu 18-Dec-25 21:07:51

It’s fine AGA - remember I spent all of July on the intensive llama training course, after last year that’s the least I could do
Don’t let Humpfree hear as you know he thinks he’s head llama, poor thing he wouldn’t stand a chance with Gnasher. Alarma is prancing about as usual and making such a fuss over getting her Christmas nails done. Muffin is our newest addition this year, quite classy - surprisingly
Did you get the karaoke machine up from the cellar Doodle, we could do with a good sing song

Doodle Thu 18-Dec-25 20:41:27

Oreo there are some jars of pickled eggs on the shelf at the back of the cellar. It’s a bit dark down there but I think that’s what they are …..🤔

AGAA4 Thu 18-Dec-25 11:20:58

Nice to see you Ixion you haven't been around for ages. Have you been locked in the cellar with Glorious George? Or did you jump aboard the Stiff Barnacle with Lord and Lady Lemongrove.

AGAA4 Thu 18-Dec-25 11:14:02

Gnasher is head Llama Oreo and now you've mentioned Speedos he will want a pair. Alarma will be wanting silver sequinned dungarees too. She is such a diva.
Sorry brook I can see the llamas will be very demanding soon. You're the only one who can calm them down.

Oreo Thu 18-Dec-25 07:33:48

Are there any pickled eggs?

Oreo Thu 18-Dec-25 07:32:53

brook2704

Oops apologies for the llamas ixion they do get a bit frisky this time of year and Gnasher overindulged on the mince pies
That’ll clear the airways Aga thanks for that, I’ll try a Tipsy Santa later 🍸

I over indulged on the mince pies too so I think I’ll like Gnasher, is he the chucker out? The one wearing Speedos?
I’ll have a couple of Tipsy Santa’s too just tip them into a pint of Guinness will you?
Nobody has admired my silver sequinned dungarees yet 🤬

Just had 2 dozen bottles of chateau tahbilk marsanne delivered- so I’ll bring a few of them. Yummy wine. I believe the late Princess Di liked it, so it’s good enough for me,too.
I’d bring the pussy cats but they fluff up and hiss if there are any other creatures present.

ixion Wed 17-Dec-25 22:44:31

Oops, sorry Brook.
I meant to refer longingly to your Tipsy 🎅 .

ixion Wed 17-Dec-25 21:27:09

Where is he, Brook, your frisky Santa?

Are you hiding him from the rest of us?
