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.???

Just orf to beddybyes, but dropped in to say tomorrow night is curry night and Sat night is the talent show night, so start thinking what you can contribute to both please.
You will be pleased to know we have made good profits this week and the swear box is full up too( mainly due to me it has to be said.)

Lovely to see you all, proper drinks only for out VIPs and I've even found some in date pork scratchings to try and keep them here. Did anyone tell Marydoll to dress appropriately tonight so not to scare off our guests

lemongrove Wed 22-Nov-17 16:59:13

Anyone done any Christmas shopping yet?

lemongrove Wed 22-Nov-17 16:58:22

Here we are!
A round of G&T’s please Meno ( don’t mention our cleaning product cocktails! )
A lovely chat and meal and wine today, but maybe we will meet here in the Argy next time ( wearing tinsel hats.)

Have fun lemon and be sure to bring the others back for a swift half on the way home

lemongrove Wed 22-Nov-17 09:09:29

I think I will just have a quick coffee with you, as am going out for a pub lunch with GNers today so need my wits about me (otherwise I may be left with the bill while they all escape through the pub toilet window, as happened last time!) It’s in darkest Wiltshire, but there may be time later for us to call in here for ‘one for the road’ ( on buses today so safe enough.)
Stay off the Febreeze ......it’s mine.

JaneD3 Wed 22-Nov-17 08:35:57

You always were dual skilled!

Menopaws Wed 22-Nov-17 07:34:06

Oh so true but I might have a large febreeze and tonic which could save on air freshener, what do you think?

JaneD3 Wed 22-Nov-17 07:28:01

On the bright side Meno, at least your pipes don't need flushing any more. grin

Menopaws Wed 22-Nov-17 03:59:04

Don't mention curry...hang on back in a minute....

Artyfarty Tue 21-Nov-17 22:57:00

Don’t mind if I do JaneD3, mine’s a Cillet Bang and lime. Talking of poison, is there any of that curry left from Friday?

JaneD3 Tue 21-Nov-17 22:12:16

Hello Arty! Let's prop the bar up together grin. What's your poison and that might be too true ?

Artyfarty Tue 21-Nov-17 11:45:15

Well you just can’t get the staff. I expect you have all gone down to the sumo mud wrestling again. I think we should have an honesty box on the bar. Here’s a handful of brass washers pound coins to get things started!

lemongrove Sun 19-Nov-17 20:29:25

Was it Saturday yesterday then? I seem to have missed 24 hours, very strange!
How did curry night go down( or did it come up?)

Marydoll Sat 18-Nov-17 23:32:47

Sorry*Jane*, do remember we are all quite elderly and don't have the stamina we used to have. After a " session" with BIG JIM, it takes about a week to recover.?

JaneD3 Sat 18-Nov-17 20:44:35

Is this the only bar which closes on Saturday night? Or are you all hiding in the cellar but not posting? How many of Jim's brothers have you got down there? I'll just help myself to a gin and Vimto then!

Marydoll Thu 16-Nov-17 23:13:54

I'll just have whatever is going, I'm not proud., I've had such a hard day!

Blinko Thu 16-Nov-17 21:27:07

Just a large Irish will do....

JaneD3 Thu 16-Nov-17 19:46:31

Meno I read that as doggy meat. I do find it makes a nice curry if you use the stuff with gravy.

Menopaws Thu 16-Nov-17 19:27:29

Large Irish coffee for me too please and I'll see what dodgy meat I can find for the curry night

JaneD3 Thu 16-Nov-17 17:57:32

Can I have scotch with a shot of coffee? No alcohol since Sunday!!

lemongrove Thu 16-Nov-17 09:03:25

Anyone like a coffee with a shot of vodka? cafe

lemongrove Thu 16-Nov-17 09:02:18

Tut tut Blinko somebody has a one track mind! ?

Errr, sorry but thought we were saving Chewy’s veil dance for talent night (Sat) so am afraid the punters may notice what they are eating in the curry, unless! We play very very loud rock music as a distraction?
I shall nip down to Asda for a load of cheap mince later, and use anything else in the fridge to bulk it out.

Blinko Thu 16-Nov-17 07:55:28

Bit confused now you've explained that, Chewy.

Blinko Thu 16-Nov-17 07:54:13

Ah, lemons the hearing's going. I thought you said Sex on the Beach, choose your position....
