🎶 🎉🎄 Time for some fun.🎄🎈
What will you bring to the party?
Something savoury, something sweet, your favourite tipple and a small Secret Santa gift.
Merry Christmas

Matt Damon had to get back to LA but he said this party beat anything Hollywood could put on and he’ll be back next year.

Is the party still going? I’ve been asleep under this table for quite a while 🤭
Any brekkie? I seem to be very peckish, anything will do, a pickled egg or two or some fried mushrooms, I heard there’s lots growing in the cellar.

Cor that poteen is very strong, I have no memory of Christmas Day, hair of the dog please, someone quick pour me something.

Allira Sat 27-Dec-25 17:07:55

All that standing on one eg, imitating a tree, whilst watching endless repeats of something call Deal or No Deal (me neither!) has landed me under the bar with the Admiral. Oops!

Cheers! 🥃🥃

Well, it certainly won't be a dreary dirge here, Crossstitchfan.

Have you never heard the good denizens of the Argy in full flow? 🤔

grannybuy Sat 27-Dec-25 15:42:32

I’ll bring home made tablet, and clementine cake.

Crossstitchfan Sat 27-Dec-25 14:52:32

What’s this fixation on Fairytale of New York? If ever I felt suicidal, that’s what I’d play to help me on my way! I absolutely loathe the dreary dirge! Funeral song at its best!
Happy New Year!!

Can we bring a guest? Charlie Mackesy is mine

Merry Christmas all. What a day it’s been. Tinsel and baubles everywhere. Alarma drank a whole bowl of punch and decided to lavish her affections on the Admiral who wasn’t adverse to the idea. However May Hem thought he was hers and was bashing everything in sight with her stilettos.

The karaoke is on low volume. Soft lighting and blankets await all who want to rest for a while before we do the conga.

I saw the lights on and nipped home to fetch some Cinnamon Knots, but I see we’re quite well off for those….oh well, always room for another box. I see the llamas are up to their old tricks, what a mess this place is. Why do we bring them every year - will we never learn?
I’m determined to dance tonight, so don’t try and stop me, and keep Alarma out of my way. She goes for me the minute I take to the floor. I have my eye on the Admiral. He’s past his best but he’s still a good mover, rum or no rum.
Oh no, Monica’s got there first! Curled up with a book indeed!

Allira Tue 23-Dec-25 22:54:57

And not before time imho!

Mind you, a drop of alcohol can kill all the germs.
Where's the Admiral with that crate of Pusser's rum?

ixion Tue 23-Dec-25 22:50:30

Cider, yup.
I found the apples well masticated and so easy to create the silky smooth texture I am told (not being a drinker myself 🤭) that cider demands.
But we do have the cloudiness which promotes that je ne sais quoi.

Had a letter this morning saying that I had been accepted for City and Guilds Food Hygiene, Basic level.
They hinted that the Argy Bar could do with some welcome input.

Allira Tue 23-Dec-25 22:33:15

Just reading them The Enchanted Forest and they're drifting off 😴

Allira Tue 23-Dec-25 22:30:37

Are sheep nuts ok?
The hay has run out and ixion made cider with the llamas' apples.

Doodle Tue 23-Dec-25 22:24:46

No snoring in the corner Allira it’s your turn to feed the llamas and make sure they’re settled for the night. Only one bedtime story mind and no hot chocolate otherwise you’ll be up all night letting them out again

Allira Tue 23-Dec-25 11:16:49

Fat chance of sparkling, witty conversation from anyone, then, if you two are mixing the cocktails! 😂
🍹🍸🍹🍸🍹🍸

We'll all be 😴😴😴

Doodle Tue 23-Dec-25 10:03:58

AIBU, YABU! Sounds like an episode of the Flintstones.

You won’t have time for TV Ixion you’ll be behind the bar with me. Now get to it and brew up some Christmas cocktails 🍹

Allira Mon 22-Dec-25 11:43:26

Yes, YABU!

ixion Mon 22-Dec-25 11:32:08

In that case, I shall just have to rely on sparkling, witty conversation.

Or AIBU?

Allira Mon 22-Dec-25 10:50:33

ixion

Whaaat!😲
No telly in the Bar?

How can I watch Mrs Brown's Boys?

That's why there's no telly in the bar 😂
Sorry ixion

Nothing, zilch, nada, not even Game of Wool, sorry!

Here, drown your sorrows 🥂🥂🥂🍾

Alarms, my pet name for Alarma, if you believe that …

LauraNorderr Mon 22-Dec-25 07:32:26

Poor Alarms looks very sad with half of her (rather manky) hair shaved off but as neither warm soapy water nor the acetone managed to unglue her from the tv set there was no alternative.

ixion Sun 21-Dec-25 17:00:54

Alarma spent yesterday evening glued to Strictly on the box.

I have a nasty feeling she is practicing her moves and eying up potential outfits🫣

Oreo Sun 21-Dec-25 16:11:24

As am I Doodle but you know what they say, you’re as old as you feel…and I have just been doing a tango with Matt Damon and he feels pretty good.😊
