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.?

Love it, Chew My faggots are three pence each or...an old shilling for a dozen. Cheap at the half the price.

Motown wotsits on the juke box. Takes me back a bit. That's when my beehive was at it's most spectacular.

Chewbacca Wed 05-Feb-20 18:21:27

Nice and groovy there soop! Is this your beehive? ?

Doodle Wed 05-Feb-20 18:49:28

Oh I’m overcome with the fumes from the hair lacquer. Double strength, concrete mix. No a hair out of place. None of them would dare move ?

Percy Sledge on the juke box ( is that right? Did I just make up that name?)?

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 21:33:18

Queer happenings in the kitchen.......all of Soop’s rissoles have vanished! Do we have mice?

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 21:33:59

RIP mice!???

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 21:35:05

So sorry Soop, no offence intended.?

Chewbacca Wed 05-Feb-20 21:36:09

Probably lemon. hmm

Chewbacca Wed 05-Feb-20 21:36:43

Too late!

lemongrove Wed 05-Feb-20 21:39:55

U staying around for a snifter Chewy ?
Here’s a cherry brandy on the house ?

Chewbacca Wed 05-Feb-20 22:46:58

Very well lemon, I'll have a Fine Old Jamaica Rum at 2/1 please. In fact, make that a double for 2/4. 12p for a double rum? Those were the days! grin

Doodle Wed 05-Feb-20 23:03:11

Well what about me? ?

Y is chewy getting a drink on the house and not me lemon. (did you see my clever use of the y there chewy ?)

Zabaglione with a twist of lime, shaken and not stirred....... what do you mean it’s not a drink ?

Chewbacca Wed 05-Feb-20 23:04:29

Aw, don't be a stress head Doodle! I'll buy you a drink. Here you go.....

Chewbacca Wed 05-Feb-20 23:05:22

Babycham! ?

Doodle Wed 05-Feb-20 23:14:00

Cor thanks chewy. The bubbles have gone right up my nose. What’s lemon doing now....oh someone has stuffed the juke box full of rissoles ? that’s why it’s playing all the songs slowly. Who could have done that ? ?

Chewbacca Wed 05-Feb-20 23:21:03

Doodle don't tell me you've been using soop's rissoles for nefarious purposes! shock I'm appalled that you could use such lovely, wholesome, healthy rissoles to bung up the juke box! Doodle! You devil! wait till I tell soop

soop Thu 06-Feb-20 12:24:14

Eck! That beehive was nowhere near as flamboyant as mine. I always wore a silk flower on the side. Classy...or what?

Chewbacca Thu 06-Feb-20 13:47:18

Flowers you say soop? How very hippy of you! Did you go to Woodstock too?

soop Thu 06-Feb-20 13:49:28

Gracious! No! They wouldn't have me. I was beyond "hippy". Other worldly more like.

CraftyGranny Thu 06-Feb-20 14:07:52

Infused gin with palma violets, yummy

CraftyGranny Thu 06-Feb-20 14:08:56

Just put plenty of ice in it please

soop Fri 07-Feb-20 15:06:47

Kindly overlook the fact that H was overlooked. We have all had a happy hour and somehow things went awry.

soop Fri 07-Feb-20 15:09:03

Looking for someone who is dicerning enough to share a warmed up rissole. Where are the chaps? Who is hogging them? Fair play, girls. Share and share alike.

soop Fri 07-Feb-20 16:10:16

My spelling is about as bad as my rissoles! Discerning...was what I meant to type.
