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.?

.....And I do keep telling him not to sit on it, but he won’t listen.?

By the way, lemongrove Is Zorba still wearing that "frock"? Better ask him to wear a kilt. So much more dashing...

Doodle Thu 12-Mar-20 19:40:02

Can you ask him to put on some underwear too. Sitting like that is a bit off putting when you’re trying to find the money slot on the juke box blush

DOODLE! I'm shocked.

lemongrove Fri 13-Mar-20 15:21:52

Eel pie anyone, we still have a bit left?
Soop .....not as shocked as Zorba was when Doodle shoved a shilling in!?

lemongrove Fri 13-Mar-20 15:22:56

For goodness sake.....go to Specsavers Doodle !

soop Fri 13-Mar-20 16:53:27

Gasps!!! Poor man, he only popped in for a glass of poteen. Now take a look at him. Second thoughts...perhaps not.

Happy to hear that the casualties are back and that my gin wasn't to blame. Or if it was, I'm not admitting anything. Had to take the camels to the vet and so I took a quick trip away so that the vet couldn't give them back to me. Would you like me to make more gin, or are you ok for spirits? Perhaps I wouldn't put the old tyres in the next time...

I can’t help being short sighted. How was I to know it wasn’t the juke box slot ?. Mind you, I was a bit surprised when the juke box emitted a loud shriek but I thought it was the start of a new song. Why is he still sitting there and why is he spinning round and round? Anyone would think he’d got the spindle stuck up his...........oh dear.......he has ....oops! blush

Keep bringing the gin wheniwas ...we may need it!

Just when you think that things can't get worse...they most certainly can. Doodle you have messed up bigtime.

lemongrove Sat 14-Mar-20 14:59:31

Keep back everyone! Give poor Zorba some space while I do some mouth to mouth on him.....looks like he’s a goner?

lemongrove Sat 14-Mar-20 15:00:46

Look lively with the gin, I shall try pouring it down his throat
( and have a swig myself, for the shock.)

Gwenisgreat1 Sat 14-Mar-20 15:05:20

Sit down and enjoy!

Wheniwasyourage Sat 14-Mar-20 16:54:32

Made some more - here it is. OK, I know it's a surprisingly bright yellow, but at least it'll make you feel sunny, and we can all do with that, I'm sure.

Marydoll Sat 14-Mar-20 17:21:33

No way! Who do you think you are fooling?

I know what fake perfume makers put in bottles and it's a suspicious yellow colour! ?

The next letter in the sequence should give you a clue! wink

Doodle Sat 14-Mar-20 21:30:20

P.....surely not ?.......mind you, I seem to have a plentiful supply so it might be worth thinking about. Anyone got any old perfume bottles around.......or gin bottles ? ?

Marydoll Sun 15-Mar-20 08:28:10

Questionable behaviour, Doodle. ☹️

On second thoughts, it may protect us from all those bugs, doing the rounds, if it's anything like the last concoction you made. ?

lemongrove Sun 15-Mar-20 14:38:13

Rest assured it’s not P....it’s Gordon’s ( although he may want it back.)
Have sent Zorba on his way ( shaken but not stirred) I don’t think he will be sitting on any more jukeboxes for a while.?

lemongrove Sun 15-Mar-20 14:38:56

Sam Cooke on the jukebox now!

Maybelle Sun 15-Mar-20 14:47:55

Twisting the night away, is a great way to get fit

soop Sun 15-Mar-20 16:41:26

'Underneath the Arches...' oops! Sorry, wrong tune.

Doodle Sun 15-Mar-20 19:33:13

Very energetic evening in the bar tonight. Twisting away and ducking underneath the arches at the same time. I could put my back out doing that and then what would I do with all those young men in the bar ?

Smileless2012 Sun 15-Mar-20 19:39:13

Wow, this is my first visit to the alphabet bar; very impressive.

Marydoll Sun 15-Mar-20 19:51:01

Xtreme measures, we are in lockdown. Once in, never out! ?

Doodle Sun 15-Mar-20 21:31:34

Yes we’re all stuck here for the duration. Be careful what you drink smileless you’ll have no idea what it is ....or where it’s been before ?
