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 ?

Roses, where about on your arse is the flame?

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 20:15:55

grin I'm cracking up here!

Two pints of Cherry B please, with a saucer for me ferret. There's a punch up going on out in the street. Anyone know what's going on?

Menopaws Fri 21-Jul-17 20:17:51

Oh bugger my silver fox is arguing with his son....how exciting!

Menopaws Fri 21-Jul-17 20:19:33

Yes Mary he does have a friend but I'm saving him as a backup

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 20:20:47

Exciting? The one with the studs and chains and piercings had his knee in that old man's chest! Which one is yours Menopaws ? The old chap or the Hells Angels lookalike? they both looked a bit dodgy

Menopaws Fri 21-Jul-17 20:57:22

Exciting cos I'm imagining they are fighting over me but now I wipe the nicotine off the window and put on my glasses you are right it is two of the local bikers! Oh well fun for a while

rosesarered Fri 21-Jul-17 21:03:04

Well, I could tell you where the dragon's flame is.....but that would be an inflammatory remark , heehee.??????dragon

It's all done in the best possible taste, as the late great Kenny Everett was wont to say.?

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 21:03:45

Actually, now you've wiped the nicotine off the window, the ones with the biker chains, studs and tattoos looks a bit like roses and Marydoll don't they?

rosesarered Fri 21-Jul-17 21:04:01

Needless to say, my sailor boys think I am hot stuff!

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 21:05:20

You certainly look "hot" in that photo roses! Is that you on the far left?

rosesarered Fri 21-Jul-17 21:05:46

I cannot tell a lie, it is me and Marydoll.......... girls just wanna have fun!

rosesarered Fri 21-Jul-17 21:07:36

Now get behind that bar Chewy and start pulling pints...and while we are at it, get that little blighter Geoffrey out of the peanut bowl.

Jalima1108 Fri 21-Jul-17 21:07:40

Cindi Lauper going full blast in the background, turn up the record player spotify someone and make it quick!

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 21:08:53

The shame of it! This is a very respectable bar roses and you and Marydoll shouldn't be brawling in the streets on your zimmer frames. What with arse sized tattoos and sailor friends, you'll be having this esteemed establishment raided by the cops soon. And then what will we do with all those topiary plants we're growing under arc lights and tin foil?

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 21:11:00

jalima were you involved in that fracas outside?
Here roses, have a pint of Martini Ross on. I've stuck a plum tomato on a stick in it; we've run out of cherries.

Jalima1108 Fri 21-Jul-17 21:16:28

Me? I was just sitting in the corner quietly drinking my pint of gin of elderflower pressé.

'Ooh - Hello Sailor, you look like a nice young man'

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 21:19:11

No ooooooh Jalima ! For heaven's sake don't chat up the sailors, roses will get mad with jealousy and will wrestle you to the ground in a nano second. And would you mind not sitting on my ferret?

Jalima1108 Fri 21-Jul-17 21:21:03

Surely she doesn't want all the nice sailor boys? wink

I'll settle for the Admiral in the corner thanks.

Jalima1108 Fri 21-Jul-17 21:21:48

ferret?
Those are my new fake mink knickers.

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 21:34:35

shock

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 21:36:20

shock

Fake mink knickers
Tattoos on rear ends
Biker grannies brawling in the street

This place just gets more upmarket by the hour

Marydoll Fri 21-Jul-17 21:38:18

Jamilla, I don't mean to be rude, but I have an arrangement with Roses that I get the cast offs, unfortunately for you, the Admiral is mine. However, I can find you a nice firefighter, I have grown tired of him.

Chewbacca Fri 21-Jul-17 21:40:58

So you've finished with the bikers now Marydoll ? In the photo further back, you and roses seemed to be "heavily involved" with the biker boys. By the way, which one is you?

Jalima1108 Fri 21-Jul-17 21:42:09

He was mine first - before even rosesarered took a fancy to him.
No, the Admiral only will do for me thanks.

'All the nice girls love a sailor
All the nice girls love a tar
For there's something about a sailor
'Cos you know what sailors are
Bright and breezy, free and easy,
He's the ladies' pride and joy.

like you lot really (free and easy) wink

Marydoll Fri 21-Jul-17 21:42:34

Actually, Jamilla, I'll come clean. The firefighter has nothing left to give. I think I may have worn him out.grin
