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 ?

Pickled gherkins are off, but there is a new jar of pickled eggs ( and a few pickled grans.)

....I will let others be the judge of that, as I have to roll home to my bed.moon
Yes,btw, it was me under the table, feeling no pain.

Scuse me....who's behind the bar? Have they gone? I need a pickled gherkin sarnie and a pint of sherry

Oops, forgot my manners - what was I thinking of saying please in the ABC? I think I'd better get myself off home.

merlotgran Fri 16-Jun-17 23:14:39

You're a bit late, Maggie. The head pearl clutcher's already been in.

Anya Fri 16-Jun-17 23:14:28

Why does everything come back to Trump confused

I think fame has gone to your head POGS get off the stage! Let someone else have a go, I hear Mawbroon does a 'Donald wheers yer troosers' that will make your hair stand on end.....

Anya Fri 16-Jun-17 23:13:19

You'll get int trouble maggie for using 'passed over* you've got to say they died!

POGS Fri 16-Jun-17 23:13:00

Oops.

Actually the air is more fragrant than fag ash.

IMHO of course.

Maggiemaybe Fri 16-Jun-17 23:12:35

Can somebody just pass my pint through the window, please? I can see some of those kitcheners heading home from their knit and natter and I need some ammunition in case they come over and start a ruck.

Maggiemaybe Fri 16-Jun-17 23:10:03

I don't know, I can't hear it clearly from the smokers' shelter outside, POGS. I've barred myself until those clouds of pickles and peanuts have passed over.

POGS Fri 16-Jun-17 23:06:01

Are you hearing it?

It's the Andrews Sisters, ' Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy from Company B ' , or is it, ' The Wind Beneath My Wings '.

Hmm not sure myself and surely I should know. confused

POGS Fri 16-Jun-17 23:02:16

It made me laugh.

Sorry Maw. blush

Anya Fri 16-Jun-17 23:01:58

Quick light the joss stinks POGS feels a 'tune' coming on ?

merlotgran Fri 16-Jun-17 23:00:26

Oooh! Am I barred?

That was quick.

POGS Fri 16-Jun-17 23:00:06

Stand by .

I've had 6 pickled onions, 3 packets of peanuts and 4 pickled eggs.

I feel a tune coming on grin.

MawBroon Fri 16-Jun-17 22:59:18

merlot I think that is just disgusting.
Fair enough, I am a prude but, it is disgusting.

mimiro Fri 16-Jun-17 22:56:11

pssst is that roses under the table?

merlotgran Fri 16-Jun-17 22:55:47

There once was a woman named Jill
Tried a dynamite stick for the thrill
They found her vagina in South Carolina
And bits of her tits in Brazil.

Anya Fri 16-Jun-17 22:54:55

Who's got the key? I left Roses and Hilda in charge?

boheminan Fri 16-Jun-17 22:52:15

Yay! A lock-ingrin

Anya Fri 16-Jun-17 22:51:45

Or in that case rocks off!

mimiro Fri 16-Jun-17 22:50:30

rock on anya

Anya Fri 16-Jun-17 22:49:23

There was a young sailor named Bates
Who danced the fandango on skates.
But a fall on his cutlass
Has rendered him nutless,
And practically useless on dates.

boheminan Fri 16-Jun-17 22:48:36

who needs to be sobershock. It's Friday night and the weekend's just beginning. I'm up for a good bash of karaoke and chips. I think it's Help Yourself Time behind the bar....
