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.???

It all goes on when I miss one evening, camel racing, vimto, weak tea and RULES!!

No DameJudy that’s the Amiral ( old sea dog) Barry is the bouncer and also helps out Big Jim with the heavier cellar work ( carrying Marydoll when she is alchoholically incapacitated back up to the bar.)
We took him on a few weeks ago, he is a bit younger than Big Jim, and is a fine figure of a man, ahem! blush

Sorry Meno but the elf and safety people say we must have a copy of the rules up on the wall.We don’t have to read it of course.The tea was just a joke...I mean really, can you imagine us tea drinking here?

Marydoll Tue 07-Nov-17 22:44:46

Just to remind everyone, BIG JIM IS MINE ......or else!

lemongrove Tue 07-Nov-17 22:47:35

Or else what??

Marydoll Tue 07-Nov-17 22:49:13

Lemongrove, I didn't mean you, we are friends I hope?

I think others have their eye on BIG JIM.

Menopaws Wed 08-Nov-17 07:41:24

Do you mean one eyed Susan? I've heard she has designs on him.

BBbevan Wed 08-Nov-17 10:47:15

Is she a tattoo artist then?

lemongrove Wed 08-Nov-17 11:10:03

Yes, we are budds Marydoll I just wondered what you had in mind ( for others!) grin

lemongrove Wed 08-Nov-17 11:13:30

Have dropped in for coffee with a splash of something medicinal in it ( have run out of milk at home)cafe and are there any donuts going?

There is a large order coming in shortly, 50 crates of vodka and 50 of gin, so Barry and Big Jim and any spare staff will have to step lively.

Menopaws Wed 08-Nov-17 15:35:15

Boom boom!

JaneD3 Wed 08-Nov-17 17:55:32

What are rules for, if not to be broken?!

lemongrove Wed 08-Nov-17 18:38:34

My thoughts exactly Jane grin Now are you behind the bar for an hour or so? A large G&T please, no ice ( never, and I repeat never have ice in your drink here!)

Menopaws Wed 08-Nov-17 19:14:51

Right what is on the menu tonight, I'm all dressed as per the RULES and I feel like a pint of something special

Menopaws Wed 08-Nov-17 22:25:56

Well as you all abandoned me I'm going to take my new outfit to the Sailors Hornpipe pub in the next village for the karaoke

Marydoll Wed 08-Nov-17 23:34:11

Sorry Meno Was otherwise engaged. *Big Jim is quite frisky tonight. On my way to join you. grin

BBbevan Thu 09-Nov-17 09:35:08

We have been away but I have managed to finish the coasters. I'll bring them in this evening. Could you have a large Bailey's with ice ready for me please.? That will be payment enough.

DameJudyClench Thu 09-Nov-17 22:04:36

What did I miss ladies? Sorry for my absence. Had a bit too much Viagra and ended up in a brothel in Clacton wearing a thermal vest and a pair of crocs. The last few days are a bit of a blur to be honest.

Marydoll Thu 09-Nov-17 22:44:38

"A bit of a blur" ??? I'm surprised you are actually still standing". Obviously you haven't seen the front page of the Clacton Daily Scandal blush

DameJudyClench Thu 09-Nov-17 22:46:50

I hope they got my best side Marydoll

I look a bit like Jeremy Clarkson if you catch me at the wrong angle.

Marydoll Thu 09-Nov-17 22:47:47

BBbevan Thanks for the doilies. Unfortunately, Bailey's is too sophisticated for the Argy. However, we can offer you Cillit Bang cocktail.

DameJudyClench Thu 09-Nov-17 22:53:06

I must admit to having developed a liking for the Toilet Duck spritzer. Brings back memories of my time in Penge as a hamster wrangler.

Marydoll Thu 09-Nov-17 23:38:06

Have you tried it with a sprinkle of "Shake and Vac"? It makes all the difference.

DameJudyClench Thu 09-Nov-17 23:39:37

I've not tried that. Thanks for the tip Marydoll

As long as you don't throw it on the floor and burst into song!
