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.?

Hell's teeth, Chewy, showing your age! ?

Wasn't that song a bit risqué? blush

Gary Puckett and the Union Gap on.... Young Girl. Oh the memories!

Freddie and the Dreamers on the juke box

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.

Ecstatic, Soop, my favourite. Any chocolate Manager's specials available?
Is the manager, young, fit and handsome?

Dunkin' donuts on the bar. Eat up. They are only a few days out of date.

Clearly, maybe saying the drinks are on you will do the trick.

Bloomin' Norah, I think I've killed this thread! blush

Alka Seltzer more likely, after the amount you lot have consumed! Have you hussies no shame?

Zen meditation is called for. I shall order a large G&T for later.

X rated language from one of the patrons.....the jukebox seems to be stuck on Xanadu again!

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.

Very very drunk confused wine ?

Oopsadaisy3 Fri 28-Feb-20 13:47:48

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? grinOoRoo

Marydoll Fri 28-Feb-20 11:37:12

That's what you were misled to believe, Soop. You always see the best in folks. ?

soop Fri 28-Feb-20 11:27:30

Surely not, Marydoll. Lemon swears that the poteen is narcotic-free. hmm

Marydoll Fri 28-Feb-20 08:03:58

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? wink

Oopsadaisy3 Fri 28-Feb-20 07:55:10

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.

Really, I’m just asking!

lemongrove Thu 27-Feb-20 21:36:13

Popping in to see wassup.....a pepsi and vodka for me please.?

moggie57 Tue 25-Feb-20 11:25:00

standing on the corner watching all the girls go by and into the alphabet bar

soop Tue 25-Feb-20 11:21:42

Offal! I'll pop down to chat with butcher Billie...

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.

lemongrove Mon 24-Feb-20 16:26:01

Much ado about nothing ( Fireman Sam) if you ask me!
Yes, have to admit the Shalimar was mine ( I used a lot to cover the whelk pong.)?

lemongrove Mon 24-Feb-20 16:24:05

Have to say crazyH you are one of us now, keep it going, we need regulars for the bar .....

It doesn't run itself......many glasses to be washed up in the kitchen ( for a free wine)

(H and I have just been filled....onto M now)
