I am flying in a zookeeper for all these animals, so many might upset the llamas if they’re not controlled.

And someone to wield a shovel as well 💩💩💩💩💩💩

I love singing carols, so could we please have a piano and a pianist.

I will bring small light up Christmas trees to decorate the table with, and a Christmas pudding with rum sauce.

To be avoided at all costs Oreo. Stick to a good Barney if that’s your preference. Betty might share her Barney.

Is that fat old guy in the corner wearing a tricorn hat The Admiral perchance? He’s beckoning me over, but I’m shy😉

Huberta would love to dance with Geoffrey, who looks like a very dear chap 🦒💖🦛. She’ll also be happy to help with some ‘heft’ if those Llamas start getting frisky (again!)

Well, if Huberta's coming, can I too?
We girls must stick together.

Love, Nellie

Bottoms up! 🍻

Ooo I do like a good barney! I’ll hold the coats…
While I’m waiting get me a port and lemon please barkeep🍹

LauraNorderr Mon 15-Dec-25 13:12:45

Sophistication ixion! They think it means a good punch up on your holidays. Just shout ‘so fist- i -cation’ chaps, to our patrons and their off, punches flying.

LauraNorderr Mon 15-Dec-25 13:05:05

Well I never, drunk again Doodle, dusting off the pumps and polishing the bar, you mean slouching with your mucky sleeves trying to hold yourself up. Still it does the job.
Grandmafrench oo la la, have you come to offer us your rendition of je ne regrette de rien 🎶 and please don’t do the cancan this year, you’ll only slip on the straw again after a sip of Aga’s potent poteen. Then you will have regrets.

AGAA4 Mon 15-Dec-25 11:45:03

Doodle good to see you propping up the bar again even if you did insult my poteen.
I used the best potatoes gathered from the farm (after dark). The llamas added the smelly socks and a few other things. Best you don't know.

As long as it's only my back that you see, Doodle, my reputation remains unsullied.

I came here looking for a certain sophisticated Christmas gathering.
I am still looking...

Why must we have llamas at our party? They’ve gone out of fashion, it’s all unicorns and giraffes now you know.Is there going to be fireworks?💥

Llamas are part of the fixtures and fittings of the Argy. I wouldn’t tell them they’re out of fashion if I were you,….be warned they bite.. and a certain female llama will have a right strop and hissy fit.

Doodle Sun 14-Dec-25 20:07:41

LauraNorder well you could have given me some warning. All these guests turning up at the Argy without having time to replace the straw on the floor or plump up the cushions.
Ixion and Brook glad to see your back. Allira did you really have to bring the Admiral?
Well I thought I’d seem the last of the llamas but here they are again.
Who’s brewing in the cellar. It smells of burnt Brussel sprouts and old socks. Must be Poteen.
I’ve dusted off the pumps and the bar is open. Come on in and find a comfy corner

pably15 Sun 14-Dec-25 19:50:10

I'll bring some homemade Scottish shortbread, a stuffcrust pizza and a couple of bottles of wine.

Allira Sun 14-Dec-25 19:44:38

😂😂😂

ixion Sun 14-Dec-25 19:43:10

He is very friendly and his teeth are rather floppy so he will not bite anyone.

And that's just the Admiral😂

In which case, I will bring Lorenzo the family crocodile. He is very friendly and his teeth are rather floppy so he will not bite anyone.

I’ll never smile at a crocodile, nether will I tip my hat and stay to talk awhile.
Floppy teeth notwithstanding, tell him to put that in his pipe and smoke it.

Just tell him "Handbags at dawn"

That'll keep him in his place!

We mentioned your objection to Geoffrey and he declared that he’s not dancing with a biscuit, sorry Oreo.

His loss!😁

AGAA4 Sun 14-Dec-25 19:20:24

I agree about alpacas but it's not a good idea to upset the llamas. They're already in their party outfits.
Humpfree looks dashing in his kilt even if the sporran is being worn at the back.

Allira Sun 14-Dec-25 19:13:31

Alpacas are nicer.

Just saying (well, Alfred the Alpaca told me to say that).

The Admiral has been at the Argy forever. He is quite handy if you get my meaning. Don't dance with him.
I don't think he has had a bath this year. He hangs out with the llamas.
They all smell the same.
