Come on, you lot, are you all still comatose after reaching 1,000 posts last night?

That bar won't re-stock itself you know, and I'm too busy buffing my nails...wink

Chewbacca Tue 01-Aug-17 21:02:43

Give us a turn POGS. The stage is yours......

rosesarered Tue 01-Aug-17 21:06:27

grin that poor vicar.... he will never be the same!

I don't know how my knicker drawer turned up here in the bar...?have to give that some serious thought.....

still, have always wanted a pair of furry french knicks, so all's well that ends well.

Menopaws Tue 01-Aug-17 21:07:55

Gusset en croute?

POGS Tue 01-Aug-17 21:08:40

Chew

There's probably so much material in roses knickers because they were made out of parachute material in WW2.

Where's the ice? Me Bicardi needs cooling.

Sorry roses am I being a tad unfair blush

POGS Tue 01-Aug-17 21:10:12

Furry French knickers!

Are you sure it's not another stale Cornish Pasty that's rotting in yer gusset.

Chewbacca Tue 01-Aug-17 21:10:16

I could hazard a guess as to how your knickers ended up in the bar........ but I'll leave it with you!
Have you started the gurning yet roses? Or is that just the after effects of POGS?

POGS Tue 01-Aug-17 21:41:31

Cheek!

I'll have you know I am like the Queen, MINE DON'T SMELL.

Marydoll Tue 01-Aug-17 21:46:00

Well something is rotten in the Argy Caff?
You can't blame me. When I'm wearing my fur coat, I don't wear any wink

Chewbacca Tue 01-Aug-17 21:49:46

What type of furniture is yor coat Marydoll ? Skunk? Or is that white stripe up the middle of it where you leant on that wet door jamb last week?

Chewbacca Tue 01-Aug-17 21:50:20

Fur not furniture drattit.

Marydoll Tue 01-Aug-17 21:57:00

I think it might be ferret, I mean, fox. That's why the boys call me "? lady". Well I think that is the reason.

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 01-Aug-17 21:57:22

I think I've spied an ice-bucket on the bar Pogs. Although it could be roses' knicker drawer... No wait. It's definitely an ice-bucket. You don't mind a few hairs in your, ice do you? There's nowhere that ferret hasn't been...

Marydoll Tue 01-Aug-17 22:01:48

Welcome Lara you are obviously a girl who likes a good time, either that or you are as daft as the rest of us. Either way you are very welcome.?

LaraGransnet (GNHQ) Tue 01-Aug-17 22:12:01

Thanks MD grin. I'm just popping in for a quick half to see if all the scandalous rumours about the Argy are true... The bouncer wouldn't let me in at first but I did some name-dropping of you regulars and he (she?) eventually relented. Not convinced I could keep up with you for long (your reputations are quite something grin) so will leave you to it for now. Might pop in another night though. Wine o'clock at HQ is sadly bacardi (and ferret)-free...

Menopaws Tue 01-Aug-17 22:18:08

Your round POGS or are you like the queen in that department too??

POGS Tue 01-Aug-17 22:19:20

Lara

I've had a few 'Hair of the dog' in my time and I'm not that bothered as long the hair is the Ferrets!

Thanks for locating the Ice Bucket but some dirty begger amongst you left a scud mark and a verruca patch, I think they had been soaking their feetin it. YUK!!!!

I have bleached it but I dare say some of the caffs clientele won't notice as it resembles their late tipple of paraffin and blackcurrant. We can guess who they are!

Menopaws Tue 01-Aug-17 22:22:04

Hold on Lara you don't get away without an initiation just cos you are 'management', what do you think ladies (or tramps in Marydolls case)?

POGS Tue 01-Aug-17 22:24:56

Menopaws

I will willingly buy a round but unlike the Queen I carry cash and I've left me purse at home.

Is it OK to run up a tab?

I'm good for it as I robbed a bank years ago and they thought I was wearing 'an ugly mask' and to this day I've never been caught as they thought nobody could be this ugly they didn't put up an identity parade. Pays not to be a looker you know.

Chewbacca Tue 01-Aug-17 22:26:34

Big Jim on the door just said royalty came here tonight, is it true? Did Her Maj really call into our 'umble pit? Would have liked to have seen her but I had an urgent job sorting out the chemical loos in the yard. They keep backing up for some reason. Marydoll , you haven't been flushing your botanical experiments down there again have you?

Marydoll Tue 01-Aug-17 22:27:03

Oh Menopause, thank you for the affirmation of my status. I have worked hard to reach this pinnacle of my "career".?, as my many clients friends will testify.wink

Marydoll Tue 01-Aug-17 22:29:04

Sorry, Meno misspelling or " misspoke" as the travel insurance agent said to me today.?

POGS Tue 01-Aug-17 22:29:32

Does Big Jim have veruccas?

Marydoll Tue 01-Aug-17 22:32:27

No, but he does have various, unmentionable, unpleasant conditions. ?

Menopaws Tue 01-Aug-17 22:33:24

POGS you can have a tab for two days and if not paid by then you are on urinal duty and picking out the 'raisins' from the peanut bowl.

Chewbacca Tue 01-Aug-17 22:34:53

Depends Menopaws . If Lara's going to be regular, she'll have to be initiated properly. If she's just going to flit in and out occasionally, she could just "do a turn" on the stage. Something she's really good at and wot would entertain us. Reciting Ode to a Nightingale, perhaps with no crib sheet it's only 8 verses? Or fire eating?
