Well......what else could you call it? Staff still required.......must be able to work long hours and heat up glam's sausage rolls.......pay is weekly with a bonus on Saturday night.....grin

Pete Wed 21-Aug-13 23:22:14

grin ..don't forget the tash !

glammanana Thu 22-Aug-13 08:21:20

I'll leave that to mr.g. he has a Sean Connery lookalike type beard/tash pity that is the only resembelance grin

Pete Thu 22-Aug-13 21:56:53

Bill the Butler has done one......pity you missed him ...could carry his tray one (or NO ) handed ! shock

I'm off to test the hammock for any non football nights.....wink

glammanana Fri 23-Aug-13 10:54:06

Its not too warm in our neck of the woods so I've put together a chilli & rice for this afternoons menu,along with the usual meat pie's and sausage rolls.Is there any chance we can hire the games/tv room (when no football of course) and have a keep fit class "The Firemen" have agreed to come in and show us some of their tip's for keeping in shape grin it seems a shame not to use their expertise doesn't it ?

Pete Fri 23-Aug-13 21:19:39

glam....I believe the "Firemen" hold regular keep fit classes in the cellar hmm ....but feel free to use the snug any night you wish! It is very difficult finding a 'non-football' night.....until the end of May next year.
Enjoy your workouts....but remember to leave some nibbles in the games/tv room... grin

glammanana Fri 23-Aug-13 22:03:00

Till May next year are you kidding me !! urrrh is that why mr.g has had BT sports put in with our package ? thought there was a method in his madness !! I'll just have to spend more time socialising with my pal's and propping up the bar.
p.s. new stocks of crisps and nuts behind the bar some delivery guy said they fell off the back of a wagon but I surely don't know what he meant by that grin me being an honest scouser.

Good grief....what's wrong with this place? There are cobwebs on the beer pumps and mould on the peanuts!

Seems that the barsteward is more interested in football (is it L/pool that he supports? wink ) than in running a busy bar.

New barstaff are needed and a 'Happy Hour' or two maybe, supposed to be selling drinks, not eating pie and chips in the games(?) room!

Someone ........needs licking into shape........................

Ana Sat 24-Aug-13 17:10:18

Are you volunteering for the job, Ella...? shock

Nonu Sat 24-Aug-13 17:18:24

OMG , Ana two minds one thought , Mind you Ella has a way with chickens , so she would I think be the one to lick Pete into shape.

Nonu Sat 24-Aug-13 18:31:34

Hubby is watching match between Liverpool and Aston villa , nearly half time 1.nil to Liverpool .
SO , there might be a happy little bunny later , so I might stick around as the champagne Could be flowing, and I am never one to refuse champagne.

Nonu Sat 24-Aug-13 18:32:26

PETE we are thinking of you !

Ella46 Sat 24-Aug-13 19:00:37

No chance.................the wages are rubbish and Pete's always got his fingers in the tip jar!

Pete Sat 24-Aug-13 20:04:30

Open to all offers of assistance and yes....things do need licking into shape......

To avoid confusion.....Hate L/pool.....Luv UNITED!....saves late night debates in the games room and people being asked to leave via the window grin

I'm running out of ideas to attract punters in here......apart from "have a free Fireman" with every 6th round....I'm at a loss!!

Ana Sat 24-Aug-13 20:20:46

Ella and glamma have worn the firemen out, Pete, they're all shadows of their former selves - they can't even support their own helmets! I had to give one of them a Barmaid's Lift home the other night and I'm not even a barmaid....

Pity gramps isn't still around, I'm sure he'd be able to think of something. Or Lil. Where are all the Old Originals? confused

Ella46 Sat 24-Aug-13 20:27:22

Oh what a picture that paints Ana ..........grin

Ella46 Sat 24-Aug-13 20:29:18

Pete...........it needs someone with sparkling wit to serve behind the bar.......................


blush but I'm sorry, I'm busy at the moment wink

Pete Sat 24-Aug-13 20:35:24

Ella.....you did spell 'wit' correctly didn't you?? grin

Pete Sat 24-Aug-13 20:52:19

Ana .......a couple of helmets still in the cellar hmm

I think the "Originals" have found another bar.....I'm still looking. grin

Ella46 Sat 24-Aug-13 20:53:21

Yes!! grin

I didn't want to confuse you with big words wink

glammanana Sat 24-Aug-13 23:29:29

We could have a late night lock-in and come up with suggestions for a new bar-maid (person) and maybe some of the Firemen would want earn some extra cash,Ella and I can always interview them if need be grin,I'm tired to-nite so off for some zzzz's see you all soon. moonmoon

Ella46 Sat 24-Aug-13 23:32:40

glam I think Pete's too busy to bother.............he's got his fingers in a lot of pies wink

Pete Sun 25-Aug-13 21:29:09

Last night's 'Lock in' has stretched to tonight....well...it's Bank Holiday !

My fingers..Ella have only ever been in glam's pies....and the Hollands steak puddings now and again........so not that many!!

Anthea is behind the bar tonight on a trial run.......she is a little slow...but don't tell her to "get your skates on"...and she will be fine.... I think hmm

Evening all, I've been without computer access from Wednesday until yesterday, so what's been happening? (Apart from my being in shock at paying out £170 for a new hard drive and data transfer shock )

shelby75 Mon 26-Aug-13 00:41:25

phoenix Ouch! External hard drive got dropped and won't blinking work. Have been quoted £150 for data recovery. Can't really remember what's on there besides heaps of music. Seeming as we can't remember, it's probably not worth it! hmm

Pete Mon 26-Aug-13 00:48:32

Last orders ...please!! grin
