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 so nearly said that one but thought the spelling would be an issue! Kudos and good night

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 23:23:50

Oh my goodness Marydoll , you look very swish and swanky tonight. Bit more clothes on than the red rubber shorts from last night. Where's your fella got to? hope you're feeling better tomorrow flowers

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 23:21:10

grin I had Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo in mind Menopaws , not Catch A Falling Star.

"Salagadoola mechicka boola bibbidi-bobbidi-boo
Put 'em together and what have you got
Bibbidi-bobbidi (bibbidi-bobbidi-boo) "

Very catchy. Like nits.

Menopaws Sun 16-Jul-17 23:12:34

No no no. I've just blasted my ears with Sound of Silence by Disturbed to get Valerie out of my head thanks to you, I don't need Catch a sodding Falling Star in my head now

Marydoll Sun 16-Jul-17 22:59:05

Too cold for shorts here. We are waiting for summer to arrive.sad

Sorry, not been about. A bit out of sorts.Just chilling, listening to Perry Como. First LP my hubby ever bought me.
I'll be back tomorrow like a bad penny smile

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 22:43:07

Don't like Amy Winehouse? Oh! Perry Como then?

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 22:42:21

grin I was surprised Menopaws , I must admit. Marydoll always seemed such a quiet sort of person but she was dragging a large bag along with her and it looked like it had whips and handcuffs and stuff in it. You never can tell with folks can you? Bet she comes back all innocent too! Bit of a fox, is our Marydoll !

Menopaws Sun 16-Jul-17 22:38:50

No can't stand her sorry

Menopaws Sun 16-Jul-17 22:38:22

Budgie smugglers indeed!

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 22:37:41

Good choices there Menopaws ! Love Adele. And Amy Winehouse too?

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 22:36:16

It's OK roses, it's only my hat. Bit of a flea problem at home, everything seems to be walking off in its own at the moment. I'll have to get a spray I think. No idea where they've come from. I don't know where Marydoll is today roses . I last saw her trying to wriggle in, and then out, of a pair of red rubber micro shorts. She was with a chap in black rubber shorts, black micro vest and lots of chains and piercings. He looked like this: and I haven't seen Marydoll since!

Riders of the Storm by the Doors; Love Shack by the B52's and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morris on on the jukebox please. And a pint of Ferreters please.

Menopaws Sun 16-Jul-17 22:21:50

Oh I like your style roses in both music and gin, wish to include the Who, Led Zep, Black Sabbath etc for my playlist also Marillion, Adele, creed, Eric Clapton, foo fighters, Joan armatrading and pearl jam.
That furry thing Gerard is attacking is my ginger wig that has been missing for ages so he must have hidden it somewhere, cheeky sod, anyway I'll give it a rinse and wear it tomorrow night

rosesarered Sun 16-Jul-17 22:03:11

A treble gin please Meno and hold the tonic?

Is that furry thing Glasto ( capering about on the table over there) ? Or is Chewy's fur hat actually alive?

rosesarered Sun 16-Jul-17 22:00:37

All the good ole songs.....Blueberry Hill for a start, House Of The Rising Sun,
Pretty Woman, We Will Rock You, Sultans Of Swing, A Whiter Shade Of Pale,
Sunny Afternoon, Summer In The City, Bad Moon Rising, and of course that all time classic......?Who Wears Short Shorts! Haha! The answer is Marydoll( actually they are fake leopard skin hotpants.)

Menopaws Sun 16-Jul-17 21:52:32

If you pay for it. What tunes are we going to have?

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 20:11:22

Has this place been raided or summat? No Marydoll , no DanniRae , no Ana and now no Anya. sad

Just me, roses and Geoffrey. sad Don't like drinking alone Menopaws so can we have a juke box to liven the place up?

rosesarered Sun 16-Jul-17 19:16:38

Come back soon Anya ?

Menopaws Sun 16-Jul-17 15:27:29

Told you I would get some Fursty Ferret in, yes it does have a kick to it but didn't help that Gideon chose to relieve himself in the cellar hence tainting the new ale. The cleaning stuff is in the cleaning cupboard believe it or not, just never thought to look did you, or did you just want an excuse to make me clear it up instead?? (Mind you as there was no cleaning stuff before I came here, I'll let you off this time)

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 14:40:21

Talking about muck Menopaws , have you put the brush and shovel somewhere secret? Garstang had a gippy tummy last night and there's a bit of a mess to clear up if you don't mind. I was going to clear it up myself but couldn't find the brush, shovel, mop, disinfectant, rubber gloves and gas mask.
Like the new ale by the way. What's it called? Got quite a kick to it!

Ana Sun 16-Jul-17 14:38:21

Anya sad xx

Menopaws Sun 16-Jul-17 14:35:31

All mucking about aside, wish you well Anya x

Chewbacca Sun 16-Jul-17 14:19:28

Hope all is better for you soon Anya flowers

Marydoll Sun 16-Jul-17 11:27:24

Hope you are ok, Anya. We miss you. flowers

Anya Sun 16-Jul-17 07:51:36

Sorry folks to be away and all but had a distressing few days. Will be back soon x

Menopaws Sun 16-Jul-17 06:57:13

I think Anya has run away to sea, should we send up a distress flair and alert the coastguard?
