Argy-Bargy Cafe - enter at your peril ?

I'd never dare enter some of the safe havens on GN ??

But does anyone remember Pete's Cafe (?? or something like that??) where those of a more robust nature met to exchange witticisms and the like?

There's no tea and cakes, but a good selection of alcohol ?? and pork scratchings etc.. Dress code is flexible, but no twin sets and pearls (or anything else that can be clutched to bosoms). Cross dressers etc. welcome (providing they stick to the no twin-set rule even if no bosons to clutch to)

I'll try to drop in tonight to see if there are any customers.

All suggestions as to Cafe Rules are welcome. I'd start by suggesting no talk about cats or knitting ?

Oh I'm up for a sexy barrister/barrista/barman/bartender/barechested man. I don't think one will be enough. You know what we are like, when we all get together, It's the quiet cafe grans we need to worry about. Once they have had a few "coffees" There is no knowing what they will will get up to.grin

By the way, the bartender is mine. The rest of you can share.

Chewbacca I'm seriously worried about roses - I see it's not just me who's noticed her excesses Perhaps best if you only mouth the word Gordens as she invariably says 'make mine a big one'.

What do you think to having a selection of coffees on sale and one of them....what do you call them ?? 'barristers' to make them.

Chewbacca Fri 30-Jun-17 23:31:56

You've had enough roses! You've been on the sauce all day with your new "friends". Gin, whisky, beer, cocktails, brandy, sherry by the pint........ and you've still not done anything about sifting Gordon's lumpy sawdust. Standards are slipping........wink

Thanks for the free advice Anya ....always worth having hmm
While you are here you can buy me a large gin and tonic.

Anya Fri 30-Jun-17 22:13:39

I've a favourite mirror too Jalima grin

Jalima1108 Fri 30-Jun-17 21:14:02

Anya I am gorgeous at any time of the day, even in the morning I'll have you know!!

Anya Fri 30-Jun-17 20:58:30

I wouldn't bother roses it's best not the know. Imagine looking in the mirror first time in the morning and seeing the real you! Or me! Nothing personal. Best to stay looking at the world through rose are red tinted glasses..

rosesarered Fri 30-Jun-17 20:31:36

Heehee! Oh dear, so it is, must make an appointment.
Damn it...thought I had pulled there for a minute.

Ana Fri 30-Jun-17 20:20:57

Dishy new barman? I wish...!! That's Menopaws wearing an old trilby because she hasn't had time to do her hair or shave her chin

Time you went to Specsavers roses! grin

Chewbacca Fri 30-Jun-17 20:11:54

Are you insinuating that my Grimshaw has dirty feet roses? Are you?
Don't know about Sex on the Beach; it'll be a bunch of fives round the back for you!

rosesarered Fri 30-Jun-17 20:07:36

Cocktail time!
Who is the new dishy barman? I would like 'sex on the beach' please with extra coconut and a straw.smile

rosesarered Fri 30-Jun-17 20:05:33

Yes blush you caught me out......but it can't be good for us to eat the peanuts on the bar when Gertrude has her paws resting in the dish!

Ana Fri 30-Jun-17 16:45:05

A pair of gramps' old underpants was good enough for Lil back in the day swilled round in the slop bucket - you bin watching those anti-germ adverts again roses? hmm

Anya Fri 30-Jun-17 16:01:46

Antibacterial wipes? A manky dish cloth seems to be good enough for the leading Coffee Shops! Are you trying to impress roses?

rosesarered Fri 30-Jun-17 10:58:29

Mary I think the tattoo you were looking at was mine, you were half under the table and I was dancing on it, wearing very little, and I think I told you where my tattoo was blush

Just a swift pint please as I have things to do, back later, I will have a wipe round the bar with a few antibacterial wipes, why oh why do you allow Gaston the ferret to sleep on it?

Anya Fri 30-Jun-17 08:20:33

Well....all the nice girls love a sailor Mary - pity mine was more Captain Birdeye than Jack Sparrow sad

Marydoll Fri 30-Jun-17 08:03:37

Don't worry Anya we all drank brew ourselves under the table early on and don't remember much of the night. I do keep getting flashbacks of a tattoo. Mean anything to anyone? Does that mean the sailor boys turned up. Oh I do love a sailor! Purely platonically, of course. wink

Anya Fri 30-Jun-17 06:55:32

Blimey! Got back too late last night to drop in. Looks like there's been a few improvements alterations while I've been on holiday. Great to see Menopaws up so early and stuck into her cleaning already sooner her than me

Menopaws Fri 30-Jun-17 06:39:35

Yippee good to see all you old tarts under the tables again and as for those sailors...they can hoist my sail any time they like

Chewbacca Thu 29-Jun-17 22:27:44

By 'eck this place looks a dump! Fag ends on the floor; beer dripping off the edges of tables; framed photo of David Cameron with darts sticking in it; piles of ferret crap in the corners. Great to be back! Make mine a pint of Bishops Finger and a pork pie.

Marydoll Thu 29-Jun-17 21:58:05

Thank goodness for that.it was getting very lonely drinking on my own.,sad

rosesarered Thu 29-Jun-17 21:57:56

All the nice girls love a sailor...

rosesarered Thu 29-Jun-17 21:57:19

Yes indeedy Mary and the boys are in town this very moment, and up for drinks and high jinks.wink

Ana Thu 29-Jun-17 21:56:34

Great! Come back laydees, everything's back to what passes as normal! grin

Menopaws Thu 29-Jun-17 21:51:34

Ok so the cellar a bad idea, all back to the shithole of a bar you are used to and I'll stop trying to introduce some class
