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 ?

I do, but I don't have the energy to go down to the cellar. We have had baby granddaughter all day and I am shattered. Roses does your sailor friend have any kind FRIENDS who would be willing to bring me a little drink. They would be safe with me.wink

Katek Tue 27-Jun-17 19:17:05

Is it too early for a pint( of brandy) only I had to come in now, as am going out later on.Sling a cherry in it, one of my five a day doncha know.
Who is that slumped over a table in the corner with a ferret curled up on their head, Chewy....is that you?

Menopaws Tue 27-Jun-17 19:09:56

As the main bar is all cleaned up and I don't want you lot messing it up I propose a secret cellar party (now it's been exposed) but hey ho, it was your place to hang out and you have welcomed me in to the fold so this ones on me as a thank you.
Bloody hell im being nice, I must be pissed.

Hello Mary just popped in for an early black coffee ( was out on the razzle with my sailor friend last night) we ended up having tattoos! I had a tasteful anchor with his name on it ( on me arse) just a pity that the tattoo artist couldn't spell though,
As it says 'Dive' instead of Dave.I think the tattooist was an Aussie.

Good morning, fellow Argy, Bargies! I came for a night of fun last night and it was closed. I'm wondering if Menopaws was exhausted clearing up after everyone and decided to try the contents of the secret cellar.. wine Ooops, you didn't know about the cellar. Drat!
Do you think we should don our overalls and lend a hand?

I personally think that Chewey's Grayson is to blame, but she won't hear a bad word said about him.
It's better to keep the peace. Too exhausting to argue and good to be kind to each other..

Marydoll Mon 26-Jun-17 22:19:29

Moi?grin

Menopaws Mon 26-Jun-17 21:41:14

Careful, check the black pudding on the table is not Galens offerings, hey Marydoll did you have that bottle of galliano that was in the cupboard under the stairs, I was saving that for cocktail night?

Marydoll Sun 25-Jun-17 22:24:47

I hope no-one is gossiping about usgrin Remember Gransnett etiquettesmile
Envy is such a destructive emotion. Be nice and we will share.

Ana Sun 25-Jun-17 22:16:23

No good, probably!grin

Marydoll Sun 25-Jun-17 22:14:42

Talking of lechers, where are Chewy and *MD? They are up to something wink

rosesarered Sun 25-Jun-17 22:10:20

Or even leches! grin

rosesarered Sun 25-Jun-17 22:09:56

Talking of letches....

rosesarered Sun 25-Jun-17 22:09:00

I have to go....one of my sailor friends is in town!

Ana Sun 25-Jun-17 22:08:28

Not those off the bar if you don't mind - I think we all know where they've been...shock

I will have a pint of Old Lecherous though - could do with a good old lech! grin

rosesarered Sun 25-Jun-17 22:08:23

Anyone seen Georgette the ferret? I have a dish of left over black pudding for her.
Oh well, will leave it on the table for you all in case you get peckish.

rosesarered Sun 25-Jun-17 22:04:53

Why, fank yew! smile
Have a beer on me, and a few peanuts.

Ana Sun 25-Jun-17 22:02:04

I didn't know you wore glasses roses! They really suit you...

rosesarered Sun 25-Jun-17 22:00:13

I make all my own roll ups too, ( said modestly) and the pink flowers for me hair.

rosesarered Sun 25-Jun-17 21:58:30

Hey! Who said you could print me photo? I'll get fellas chasing me for months now!

Menopaws Sun 25-Jun-17 21:51:59

Ok she can keep it as long as she makes me some lovely cookies to take home

Chewbacca Sun 25-Jun-17 18:27:29

No Menopaws , don't throw the medicinal stuff away! Despite what that dratted Marydoll alleges, it belongs to roses. She's been growing that in the cellar for months. She likes to nip outside every now and again for a roll up. Don't you roses? She won't mind sharing it with you though, she's been sharing it for weeks to some chaps who come in the bar.

Menopaws Sun 25-Jun-17 17:48:30

I'm not cleaning anything until you lot have left after tonight's do, don't fancy doing it twice but I promise I will spend all day tomorrow on it and it will be lovely by the evening. Maybe the whiff is the medicinal snuff that someone hid under the bar behind the crisps....anyone?? I was going to keep it for myself but thought I'd better come clean now the cat is out of the bag/ferret is out of the knickers!
