Wow the thread came to an end quickly. I was just about to take a big bite of my saveloy and there we were out in the cold.
Right I’ve opened up again. Welcome all

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 22:08:02

Thanks for the food lemon. I was so hungry.

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 22:08:41

Come one everyone wave ? over here. I’ve put some money in the meter. The lights are on again.

Here was me thinking it was a lock out as the Fuzz had arrived. I spotted one policeman with a very large truncheon. Can I have haddock and chips?

ixion Fri 02-Jul-21 22:12:09

Blimey, that was a shock.
As for the fish and chips, when we were cut short -
I will get the plates, serviettes and fish knives and forks.
I am my mother's daughter ?

*Jet, With the Wind in your Hair of a Thousand Laces,
Climb on the back and We'll go for a Ride in the Sky* ?✨

Hope that you're flying high and looking down on your chums in the Argy tonight, Grandmajet. Everyone's raising a glass to your memory. You won't be forgotten, brave lady.
With love always x ?

Oh grandmabatty where did he go. I love a man in uniform ?
Sorry ixion I’ve already disposed of my saveloy. blush

muse Fri 02-Jul-21 22:18:09

Enjoy the chips everyone. I'm taking my bag of scraps home. I feel well and truly battered blathered shattered ?

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 22:19:17

Grandmafrench thanks for coming in. We will miss our dear jet

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 22:21:09

muse thanks for your company. Gnasher’s just got back from escorting AGA home so he will take you home now too. Please don’t feed him too many chips.

Oooh that poteen sure is strong tonight, the last one saw me under the table for a while and I lost you all there for a minute - thank goodness I found my way again!
thanks for the fish supper lemon that’ll sort me out
Love the cushion ixion it’ll take pride of place in the bar
Here’s to you Jet and all the happy times we spent together in the Argy! ?

muse Fri 02-Jul-21 22:25:11

Hi GrandmaFrench. Just nipped back in. Saw your velocopide by the bins. Good to see you. Must dash hobble. Must say the poteen tonight did wonders for my aches and pains.

lemongrove Fri 02-Jul-21 22:26:49

I had a pint of winkles with my chips, put too much vinegar on them and now they’re clashing with the pint of poteen, urrrrgh ?

lemongrove Fri 02-Jul-21 22:28:36

A velocopide? ? They’re dangerous! And I thought they were extinct?

Grandmafrench Fri 02-Jul-21 22:33:45

Have you just spotted what a wonderful anaesthetic the booze can be, muse? I'm aware that you are a bit more mobile - or at least not any worse, which is a blessing.
It occurred to me that soop who is an Argy regular and (according to Doodle) has a reputation which goes ahead of her - especially concerning dubious foodstuffs.....is missing a lovely knees up. That'll teach her to go off on fancy holidays in the Highlands. Maybe she's been able to have her own knees up, though, along with some wonderful weather. Do hope so. They both deserve a break.

You must be psychic since my velocipede was actually by the bins - our own bins - today when my DH wanted the extra space in the garage. It's not had any exercise, just a wash and brush up and is back in the garage again now. Too hot for pedalling about, I think.

So pleased all the Argy Gang have had a great time this evening, kicking back and misbehaving - something they do so very well. Sleep well everyone, and put the mop somewhere to dry out, Doodle and turn off all the lights please before you stagger off home. Night night.

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 22:37:59

Night night Grandmafrench sleep well.

I wondered what had happened to you brook . Have some chips to soak up the alcohol.
Ooh look the Admirals turned up at last. I think he fell down the cellar steps earlier and has just managed to crawl out. He can’t take his drink like he used to.

Grandmafrench Fri 02-Jul-21 22:39:40

Ooh, lemon you do sound almost past help!! A pint of Alka Seltzer and a little lie down sounds like the best plan. I worry that you've reached the stage when you're likely to confuse dinosaur-type beings with my pushbike. Doesn't sound good, so try to take it easy and avoid any sudden movements until you regain your equilibrium (or whatever normally keeps you upright!)

lemongrove Fri 02-Jul-21 22:40:18

Nighty night all, am staggering off to the cellar, Lord L locks me out if I go home after 10pm! I shall sleep on top of the llamas.moon

Grandmabatty Fri 02-Jul-21 22:41:05

Night night Grandmafrench and all. I'm off to follow the police man and see where we end up. Evening all, to copy dear Urm. I'll take my pint of Guinness with me.

ixion Fri 02-Jul-21 22:48:54

I think that was a good bash doodle.
I hope that Jet's daughter will pop in (and find us here too) sometime to see us.
We must sort through the dressing up box too, that she left..
I'm off now, replete with fish, chips and happy memories.

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 22:49:01

Grandmabatty just remember that police man has to be on duty again tomorrow……… be gentle with him ?
Night night lemon. I’ll get Thor to bring you coffee in the morning. Sleep well.

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 22:50:19

Yes ixion a special night for a very special lady. Jet will always be one of us. Sleep tight ?

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 22:51:09

brook are you still here? I might lock up in a minute. I think I’ll snooze on the sofa tonight.

brook2704 Fri 02-Jul-21 22:59:09

I’m just on my way out now Doodle thanks for waiting
Night night everyone and thank you for a lovely evening
Definitely a night to remember ?

Doodle Fri 02-Jul-21 23:03:25

Night brook. Yes a lovely night of happy memories. Sleep tight all.
