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.???

Sorry Mary but is that your horse tied up outside? I think you are taking things too far. I have given him beer slops to drink and he is now on a bit of a tilt but would you please collect him soon

Phew finally I've found my way back. Knew that Rohypnol needed more water adding ?

lemongrove Sun 18-Feb-18 21:39:42

Too late! The council have taken Dobbin away.??

Have just popped in for a bedtime snifter, and brought Jason the alsation with me, he has missed The Argy, and is sitting by the bar now as happy as can be, Big Jim is feeding him peanuts.
So, Nanny draw me a pint of Old Peculiar will you, with a vodka chaser.??

Marydoll Sun 18-Feb-18 21:55:00

Oh no!!! ? I couldn't remember where I left him.?I was indisposed ?
Oh well, I may as well have a snifter, to drown my sorrows.?

lemongrove Sun 18-Feb-18 22:16:36

That’s the spirit! Gin or whisky?

Marydoll Sun 18-Feb-18 22:24:46

You know me, I'm easy! I'm up for anything! ?

Menopaws Sun 18-Feb-18 23:31:05

Jason the Alsatian, wondered where he was, have several bags of out of date crisps he can have

Back in the mists of time, Marydoll, I remember drinking Black Hawks - one shot of whisky to one shot of gin. Perhaps a couple of those would help?

Menopaws Mon 19-Feb-18 18:32:26

Honestly trying to keep you lot Argy Bargy style on a even keel is quite hard, what we need is a good captain, anyone know one?

Marydoll Mon 19-Feb-18 18:42:12

Now, Meno, have you forgotten I "know" lots of captains. wink blush
Sea captains, airline captains, army captains, captains of industry, football captains, Police captains, fire dept captains.... Take your pick.
Oh and there is Captain Morgan rum. wine

Menopaws Mon 19-Feb-18 19:26:31

The perfect cocktail! Captain and Tequila?

lemongrove Tue 20-Feb-18 21:30:40

Time for a nightcap, any poteen left?
What about Captain Birdseye?
Captain Corelli?
Captain Jack Sparrow?
Captain Pugwash?

A tip for you all.....if you have a bit of a sore throat, try gargling with a tot of whisky, with a dash of hot water and a teaspoon of honey melted into it! It works!
The good thing is, that you can then swallow after gargling, so a bonus.Sweet dreams, as it will also help you sleep.moon zzzzzzz

Marydoll Tue 20-Feb-18 22:21:02

I prefer Captain James T Kirk! ?

Chewbacca Tue 20-Feb-18 22:22:28

Don't turn in yet lemon. A rep from a gin distillery called in today and left some free samples for us to try. Might need some help...... unless Marydoll dropsby, in which case they won't last long at all!

NannyTee Wed 21-Feb-18 20:04:36

lemongrove Wed 21-Feb-18 20:31:33

lemongrove Thu 22-Feb-18 21:35:30

So many Captains! Give yourselves a pat on the back and a large drambuie.?
I need to go on a clothes buying expedition tomorrow, anyone free to advise me? I need something dramatic, tight fitting, possibly spangly with matching stilettos....I have a date on Saturday night and want to impress.We can pop in here afterwards for a pasty and a pint.
I have been wondering if we should invite the regulars in the other bar (Soops Kitchen) for a night of fun and frolics here, if we clean up and try and get rid of all Jason the alsation’s fleas, we could put on a spread, whaddya think amigos?
