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.?

Doodle Sat 07-Mar-20 12:35:17

D well his name starts with D and he likes spicey things and he’s up for a game or two. Any ideas yet soop ?

Marydoll Sat 07-Mar-20 12:28:48

Can only guess what horrors you have to tell, Chewy. ?
Remember, I know all your secrets. wink

Awwww! Doodle do share. We are all wishing to hear the latest before it is printed in the Daily Dump newspaper.

Doodle Fri 06-Mar-20 22:50:12

Zipped lips are the order of the day chewy I certainly won’t tell a soul.
psst. lemon, marydoll, oops, soop, you’ll never guess what I’ve found out

Chewbacca Fri 06-Mar-20 22:40:39

Yes! grin keep it under your hat though -- not a word to anyone-- wink wink

Doodle Fri 06-Mar-20 22:37:00

Xcited. No, really, chewy it’s no is it? ?. Does spicey thingy know? Ooh I must go and get a new outfit. ?

Chewbacca Fri 06-Mar-20 22:28:00

Well...... naming no names but tapping the side of my nose in a conspiratorial fashion, does the name "Golden Balls" ring any bells with you? Hmmm? wink

Doodle Fri 06-Mar-20 22:17:11

Very confused ?. No chewy I don’t know him. I think I’d better give him the once over just to check all is as it should be ?
Whopper! Who’s got a whopper? ......have you pinched him again chewy ?

Oopsadaisy3 Fri 06-Mar-20 21:27:26

Oops, hic!

Ummmmm......

Oopsadaisy3 Fri 06-Mar-20 21:26:45

Sorry, sorry, um I’m looking for a chap carrying a Rose, Im on a blind date, has anyone seen him? , not sure of the colour but he said it would be a whopper...

Chewbacca Fri 06-Mar-20 20:57:00

Tut tut Doodle! Do you mean to say that you don't recognise the bouncer at the door? He was been a bodyguard to the rich and famous before he got promoted and came here. wink

Marydoll Fri 06-Mar-20 20:30:02

Sorry for derailing your posh cafe thread. blush.
Why don't we keep this venue open for the moment and just try and lower the tone a bit more. wink

Doodle Fri 06-Mar-20 20:25:18

Right I’m all for re opening the Argy (I’m gagging for a poteen) and I’m fed up wearing all this posh stuff just to get past the bouncer on the door (who is that by the way? I keep talking to him but he never answers ?)
Should we keep the alphabetical bit in the new Argy? After all we need a bit of mental stimulation. Now what letter comes after S...?

Marydoll Fri 06-Mar-20 18:48:02

Questionable clientele, questionable music, questionable hygiene, what's not to like?

PS if we run out of sanitiser, we can use the poteen, it kills everything stone dead.

lemongrove Fri 06-Mar-20 17:54:36

Pssssst! This is really The Argy....just a classier version (hoping to attract a classier clientele )? and a game element added A-Z, but if there are enough on the petition, we can bring the old place back ( I hear the old Dog and Whistle down by the gasworks is up for sale.)

Chewbacca Fri 06-Mar-20 17:27:20

Oi! We have no frills or class here either soop. Admittedly, we do have Wotsits. 60p a bag from behind the bar.

soop Fri 06-Mar-20 17:20:45

No frills. No fanciful wotsits. No class. Right up my street.

soop Fri 06-Mar-20 17:19:53

Marydoll Put my name on the list for the re-opening of the Argy. I liked it there. wink

Marydoll Fri 06-Mar-20 17:11:41

Laughing at all this class nonsense.? Looking for fun and frolics!

Launching a petition to re-open the Argy, now that was classy.

Did I manage to get enough Ls in?

Scribbles Fri 06-Mar-20 17:06:30

Kenny Ball's Jazzmen on the jukebox - a touch of class while I sip my Kahlua.

soop Fri 06-Mar-20 14:16:20

Just a mo', Doodle I'll see if muscle-bound Jim is free. If not, we'll share a bottle of something super special...for medicinal purposes. wink

Doodle Thu 05-Mar-20 20:52:28

In need of a large one here please. ....... and while you’re at it I’ll have a drink too. ?
