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.?

Ken, the rather tasty fireman, has offered to help sanitise the bar. He has his hose ready and waiting.

Lovely, good girl soop

Max Merrit and The Meteors on the juke box...'Mr Loneliness'...

Not again! Soop admit it, these bands are from your fertile imagination ?
No hosing in here thank you very much.....get a room.

Oh! lemongrove, please Google him. He was well known "in his day". Ken the tasty fireman is propping up the bar. I had my doubts when he swore he was teatotal. Looks well pickled to me.

Could you ask Ken the Fireman to put his hose pipe away soop? It's blocking the door and no one else can get in. Cheers!

Doodle Thu 20-Feb-20 19:24:53

Please soop Ken and his hose pipe grin

Queues forming by the door for all those wanting to have a go with Ken’s hosepipe ??‍?

Chewbacca Thu 20-Feb-20 19:36:21

Right! Get an axe and chop that hose pipe up. It seems to be growing by the minute!

Doodle Thu 20-Feb-20 19:53:32

STOP ? chewy you can’t chop his hosepipe off. Goodness me soop will be devastated. Just coil it nicely in the corner that should do. soop stop pulling on it. It’s not decent ?

Chewbacca Thu 20-Feb-20 19:56:25

Tut tut soop, I'm shocked! Shocked I tell you!

Oopsadaisy3 Thu 20-Feb-20 20:08:12

Unless anyone minds I’ll just sit in the corner with a

Vodka.

Chewbacca Thu 20-Feb-20 20:20:10

Well thought out Oops; a very wise decision under the circumstances. soop has form for bringing firemen well, any men really into the bar and then let's them leave their appendages lying about all over the place. So watch your step!

Oopsadaisy3 Thu 20-Feb-20 20:23:20

Xactly what I thought, I tripped over something when I came in, but it ran off.

Chewbacca Thu 20-Feb-20 20:32:20

Yes..... that would have been the rat Oops. We've been trying to catch that for a month or 6 now. Which way was it running?

GrannyGravy13 Thu 20-Feb-20 20:34:03

Zzzz Zzzzz Sorry I dozed off......dreaming of fireman?????

Oopsadaisy3 Thu 20-Feb-20 20:40:41

A rat! It ran up a hosepipe

Black with a very long tail

Cute though!

Doodle Thu 20-Feb-20 20:52:42

Are you sure it was a black rat Oops or one of lemons wigs with or without lemon trying it on with the fireman ?

Oopsadaisy3 Thu 20-Feb-20 21:40:16

doodle tbh I was afraid to look too closely, but I thought I caught a glimpse of fishnet stockings.

Even though it was dark it was very noisy.

Chewbacca Thu 20-Feb-20 21:59:51

Eh? A rat in fish net stockings? Sounds like Febrese or Fabian are back in town.

lemongrove Thu 20-Feb-20 22:07:45

FGS! Who has stolen my black wig? I only left it on the bar for a moment, what are things coming to?!

lemongrove Thu 20-Feb-20 22:09:27

Get that fireman out of here he is eating all the whelks and causing havoc with his hose.??

lemongrove Thu 20-Feb-20 22:26:54

Hooray! I can report that we passed the ‘elf n safety inspection today with flying colours, thankfully he didn’t spot the ferret (crunching peanuts under a table) or Marydoll’s ginger wig draped over the coffee machine.

lemongrove Thu 20-Feb-20 22:28:54

I can now offer drinks on the house all round...??????????????it’s been a long day.

Chewbacca Thu 20-Feb-20 22:31:38

Joking again lemon? You always offer drinks on the house when the bar is empty!

Oopsadaisy3 Thu 20-Feb-20 22:39:49

Lobster will be very overdone I fear
