Just opened a small but gleaming new bar in the best part of town, The Alphabet, 1950’s themed bar all polished chrome and plastic, with a juke box and frothy coffee machine.
Drop in when out shopping for a chat and a snifter.?
The bar only has a few house rules, no pj’s to be worn, keep to an alphabetical order and be inventive.Free drinks for the surreal and humorous contributions.?

My turn after soop chewy. After all I was the one who got him here in the first place.

Doodle Sat 01-Feb-20 20:27:31

No! Not again lemon! Will you stop using the juke box like a karaoke ? machine. You can’t sing. Now stop. ?

lemongrove Sat 01-Feb-20 22:35:52

Oh! ?
Orlrighteee, no more ‘owling from me then

Perry Como on the jukebox?

Doodle Sat 01-Feb-20 23:09:22

Quite right too. Perry’s a crooner so no caterwauling accompaniment please.?

Doodle Sat 01-Feb-20 23:10:58

Right now I’m hungry. What’s on the menu tonight? Has soop finished with the fireman yet. (Mind you what use he’ll be after chewy’s squashed him I don’t know ?

soop Sun 02-Feb-20 11:32:30

Sorry! He's mine. All mine. Some almost edible rissoles maturing in the kitchen.

Chewbacca Sun 02-Feb-20 17:04:41

Take a hike soop, what's left of him I'll leave for you to include in your next batch of rissoles they couldn't possibly be any worse than your current recipe

Doodle Sun 02-Feb-20 17:08:11

Underhand chewy ?. You know soop and I wanted a go when you had finished with him. Trust you to use him all up.
I’ll have a rissole soop I’m so hungry I could eat a ferret (it’s not ferret is it soop ?)

soop Sun 02-Feb-20 17:18:42

Very hurtful comments regarding my infamous rissoles. A girl can only take so much. wink

Doodle Sun 02-Feb-20 20:17:08

Why soop, we all love your rissoles. Especially the black burnt bit on the outside. So crisp and crunchy. They taste unbelievable ?

Chewbacca Sun 02-Feb-20 20:21:00

Xactly. Unbelievable describe them perfectly. What are the stick things soop? Pencils? Bits of wood? Its a whole new meaning to the term "char grilled".

Doodle Sun 02-Feb-20 20:49:37

You’re almost right chewy. The black stick things are what soop calls chips. They are more like wood splinters but less edible ?

lemongrove Sun 02-Feb-20 22:28:05

Zzzzzzzz, nodded off there for a minute

lemongrove Sun 02-Feb-20 22:28:58

Are you cooking with wine again Chewy or is that a new art installation??

lemongrove Sun 02-Feb-20 22:30:13

Blueberry Hill, Fats Domino, on the jukebox?

Doodle Sun 02-Feb-20 22:34:01

Can we have some Blueberry muffins to go with it lemon. I’m so hungry these days. Must be all the twisting and shouting I’ve been doing ?

lemongrove Sun 02-Feb-20 23:06:49

Donuts are all we have Doodle but I promise to make thise muffins tomorrow.Will the last one out lock up?

Drowsy now......

Doodle Sun 02-Feb-20 23:10:56

Everyone back tomorrow for a taste of lemon’s muffins ? blush
Locking up now. Hope you’re not hiding in the bar chewy or soop sneaking a wee dram ?

soop Mon 03-Feb-20 17:31:08

Faggots on the menu for tomorrow. Chewy and I have had a few not-so-wee drams. We shall surface sometime in the future. grin

Doodle Mon 03-Feb-20 19:43:52

Great news soop. I really love your faggots ?

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 14:48:58

Hmmmmm, can’t say I do! I was ill for three days after the
Last faggot went down ( and came up.)?

Harry Belafonte on the juke box

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 14:50:10

Iced buns on the bar, three for a shilling.

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 14:51:32

Just remember we are a 1950’s themed bar so only old money
(Or credit cards, haha) are accepted.

Juke box needs cleaning.

Chewbacca Wed 05-Feb-20 16:34:42

Kan I show you this bar menu from the 1960s? It's hung on the kitchen wall of every house I've lived in since I was married in the 70s. I found it dumped in an out house of a house we bought when first married and I'm glad we rescued it. You can have this copy to hang above the Alphabet Bar if you like? Prices look fair!
