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.?
Damn it! Am still recovering from the Alka Seltzer comment! Everyone knows the hair of the dog is the best hangover cure, So a large pernod with a voddy shot for me.
Well Marydoll.....funny you should say that ( missing the regulars) because the Admiral came in here only this morning ( he keeps getting barred from bars?) so lurched into The Alphabet on his peg leg, for a pint of best bitter. And.....it so happens that I have just promoted Big Jim from his previous cellarman job to part time barman, so you can see him here several times a week and all day on Saturday.
Up until now rufus my crystals have been a law unto themselves, however I think that are safely landed and I’m only slightly reeling first thing in the morning , hopefully in a couple of weeks I shall be back to what passes for normal. I still can’t find my drink....... is it a coincidence though that you should pop up just when my drink disappears Rufus ? Hmph
if I order a drink and then go and put a song on the juke bo Now be careful Oopsadaisy! When you live up to your name, are you going to blame the demon drink or the crystals in you ears? OoRoo
Reflecting on my visits to the Argy and wishing I was back there, with the old clientelle. (The Admiral, Big Jim etc) Not sure how I ended up under the table here in the Alphabet Bar. Everything has been a blur, since my release from the clink for pilfering the petty cash for my trip to Italy! I think my poteen has been spiked in revenge! Lemon, do you know anything about this?
Query....... if I order a drink and then go and put a song on the juke box am I right to expect my drink to still be there when I get back? It should be there cos the table was sticky and it would take some effort to lift it.
No involvement with a fishmonger Doodle I was just offered a job lot of fishy things that were on the turn for Ten bob, and was looking for a quick profit.
