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.?

Join me for a juice and vodka while you wait?

Kayak anyone? A bit of exercise on the river before we get down to a night of drinking. I am not waiting in line for the new barman..........I have found a sailor....so there.?

Lordy! Don’t tell me the Admiral has followed us here??

lemongrove Tue 07-Jan-20 21:25:38

Moody Blues on the jukebox now...Go Now!

Doodle Tue 07-Jan-20 21:40:50

NO lemon it is not the Admiral! It’s a nice young naval officer. Well ok it’s actually Thor in a naval uniform. I was just trying to keep him hidden from you. Goodness knows what will happen if marydoll or chewy spot him.
(He still hasn’t recovered from that night in the sewage works with chewy ?)

Orbison on the jukebox again now....who’s doing that?! I shall go crazy if I hear Blue Bayou one more time.?

lemongrove Tue 07-Jan-20 21:48:01

Please! Who could recover from a night like that Doodle
Positively putrefying!

Doodle Tue 07-Jan-20 21:49:53

Quite lemon (he still smells a bit ?)

Doodle Tue 07-Jan-20 21:52:21

Right change the record it’s too slow. Let’s have some jive music and I can put on my flouncy skirt and twirl away

lemongrove Tue 07-Jan-20 22:01:08

Sure thing! Something snazzy and pizazzy, shubi -do?

lemongrove Tue 07-Jan-20 22:02:45

Va va voom I’m in the mood for dancin’ let’s go

lemongrove Wed 08-Jan-20 15:58:01

White stilettos.....I am learning to teeter about on them?

lemongrove Wed 08-Jan-20 15:59:20

Xtra salad cream on meals here today! Keepin’ that 50’s vibe

lemongrove Wed 08-Jan-20 16:01:09

Yodelling....Frank Ifield on the jukebox ( bit irritating tbh)

Amee Wed 08-Jan-20 16:17:44

Zumba class still running tonight? Need to work off that salad cream

Doodle Wed 08-Jan-20 20:21:14

Armageddon trying to get close to the bar. Trying to dodge round all those people doing Zumba. Amee you should have got rid of loads of calories by now. Shake any more and bits will start dropping off.
lemon white stilettos! Really! Not the best look with black woolly tights ?

lemongrove Wed 08-Jan-20 20:22:21

Apperitifs ( perched on a bar stool) very alluring!

lemongrove Wed 08-Jan-20 20:23:20

Botheration! You snuck in before me Doodle ?

lemongrove Wed 08-Jan-20 20:24:59

Could you be more wrong? Black woolly tights are very 50’s
Doncha know, and keep me warm behind the bar.

Amee Wed 08-Jan-20 21:11:07

Doubles all round please. Dehydrated from all that exercise Doodle, Luckily I borrowed some woolly tights from Lemon and they are keeping everything held in!

Doodle Wed 08-Jan-20 22:37:25

Even from behind it looks quite appalling. A pink leotard and black woolly tights is not on Amee. You should never take fashion advice from lemon

Doodle Wed 08-Jan-20 22:39:07

Fabulous me swaying in for cocktails after a show. Yellow Hot pants and white plastic knee high boots. Now that’s fashion for you ?
