Well, the sale went through and we now own this new bar,
Isn’t it wonderful?
So clean and shiny ( that won’t last!)
Come on in, have a drink and tell the tale of what you have been up to.
All the old staff are here, in the cellar checking the stock, but will be up here shortly to take your orders.???

Leprechauns are small and petite so how's that going to work Mary?

Marydoll Tue 09-Jan-18 19:33:57

OOOOOHHHH that hurt, Meno

At least you got the "small" correct.grin

Menopaws Fri 12-Jan-18 21:13:59

This weekend I think we should all get together and sort out the cellar, pipes, stock and glasses, surely we want the Argy to go into the new year all prepared so who is up for a workforce weekend, free drinks and pork scratchings(slightly out of date) to all who attend.
We need scrubbers(Mary) and team leaders(Chewy) to organise, I will make another vat of dubious punch to keep you all going, whose up for it?

Menopaws Mon 15-Jan-18 10:56:12

Well that went down well, I'm off to the Jolly Sailor down by the docks

lemongrove Mon 15-Jan-18 11:26:14

?
We have all been busy, sorry Meno ( it was the word workforce that did it!)

lemongrove Mon 15-Jan-18 11:27:10

Anyway, I have lost my Marigolds, so no can do.

I will have a coffee and a brandy chaser though, thanks.

Well, the Irish night went well, we were assorted leprechauns shamrocks and Irish famous characters, and
Chewbacca came as a pint of Guinness!
The bar was packed with customers ( mostly drunks) and we made a packet of money, hooray!
Am off out now ( with the packet of money) to buy new shoes, oops I mean to put it in the bank.Laters!

lemongrove Mon 22-Jan-18 12:30:37

A large Pernod and a Cornish pastie please, I shall park my assets on this high stool and wait for a while,Jamsidedown
Or ‘Jammy* for short may be along soon, also Soop promised to look in with more home made baked goods! Yay!
Can’t think where Mary Chewy and Meno are, they left a rather mysterious note on the bar saying they ‘had things to do’ hmm
Even Jane and her acolytes are missing ( I’m thinking either January Sales or that awful low bar at the other end of town, The Rat And Bottle.)?

NannyTee Mon 22-Jan-18 12:32:59

Excuse me but I can't find that little Willy anywhere! Anyone know how to get in??

lemongrove Mon 22-Jan-18 12:36:45

It’s a bit stiff Nanny you need to give it a good pull ( the DOOR!!)

NannyTee Mon 22-Jan-18 12:38:07

There was a tall guy Lemon but I didn't need a big Willy. grin ohhh the door. OK.

lemongrove Mon 22-Jan-18 12:40:37

A pint of Pernod for you Nanny or something a little stronger?

lemongrove Mon 22-Jan-18 12:42:21

Barry is on bar duty today and his service is excellent ( as I found out in the cellar last week.) smile

NannyTee Mon 22-Jan-18 12:43:44

Something a bit stronger today me thinks Lemon. Oo careful of the splinters!

NannyTee Mon 22-Jan-18 12:45:03

Not that Barry Big Bollocks. He's all balls and no action ( so I've heard)grin

lemongrove Mon 22-Jan-18 12:51:59

Hush yo mouth, I can vouch for Barry he is a good ‘un.
Right then, a triple vodka for you to start with?

soop Mon 22-Jan-18 12:55:11

At lemonsgrove's request I've virtually baked some calorie-free flapjack thingies for you lot. The Cornish would riot if they as much looked at one of those leather-like "parsties" that have given the regulars severe heart burn. Yep, that's the correct pronunciation. My dearly beloved is a Cornishman. Whilst I'm here, may I have a treble measure of the best malt whisky. Tell you what, forget the measure, just leave me together with Big Jim and the bottle. We'll help ourselves. I may even leave a tip. Nothing too grand. I've a box full of old pennies that you're welcome to. Bye for now.

NannyTee Mon 22-Jan-18 17:06:14

Aww soop you're so good. I'm virtually scoffing them. Hey I'm sure that triple vodka was spiked earlier. Just woke up under this bar stool with a coggy on me brow and me drawers back to front ?

Menopaws Mon 22-Jan-18 19:01:59

Ok ok the Jolly Sailor was a disappointment, not very Jolly and not real sailors, good to see you all back at the Argy, I hope you appreciate the work I have put in, now all I want is a large port and lemon. It's my birthday soon, can I rely on you people to show me a good time?

lemongrove Mon 22-Jan-18 19:10:34

NannyT a coggy? What is it and why can’t we all have one? grin

Meno.....greetings Earthling, where have you been, the Jolly Sailor? That’s a low joint if ever there was one!

Large port and lemons all round.We will put on a party for you, Soop will bake a cake.A good time is guaranteed.

Menopaws Mon 22-Jan-18 19:13:25
