What do you think, great place or what?

Marydoll Sat 22-Sept-18 20:16:28

You will have to get in the queue Doodle. My need is much greater than yours.
Dr Kildare, (sent over by NanKate) said I need a second opinion on the state of my chest! So there!

lemongrove Sun 23-Sept-18 17:43:43

I can’t believe it!
Marydoll has vanished with Dr Devine-Teath! Well, maybe I can believe it, it was always on the cards, the brazen hussy.
I wonder if he will present her with a bill though....he doesn’t do free work for the NHS!?

Doodle Sun 23-Sept-18 20:28:38

I think marydoll thought he was a sex therapist and she was going to give him some tips ..... at least I think that's what she said ?

lemongrove Sun 23-Sept-18 20:57:01

Ah well, a nice quiet night in then Doodle and to be fair, My back isn’t up to jigging about like it used to be, so maybe
The brazen hussy has done me a favour!
Pour me a pint of Olde Darkstuffe and bung a ferret curry in the microwave for me would ya?

Marydoll Sun 23-Sept-18 20:57:25

Oooooooh er Doodle, you are awful!!!
Dr Devine- Teath and I are just good friends.
If you believe that, you will believe anything.?

lemongrove Tue 25-Sept-18 15:49:37

I don’t believe it!!!!!
It’s quiet in here today, not even a ferret running around.
Friday night is Talent Nite btw so what will you be doing?
I have got us a kareoke machine!
I will do my usual dance of the seven veils.

Doodle Tue 25-Sept-18 20:21:00

Oh not again lemon. Can't we have something different?
Can you play a tune on a bicycle pump or perhaps balance marydoll on your head?
After all it's not as though you've got anything we haven't all seen a million times before ......or have you had that op done at last ?

Doodle Tue 25-Sept-18 20:24:14

chewy and I will entertain with a duet. Islands in the stream if you remember it. chewy will of course be Dolly Parton (with some additional padding) and I have been growing my beard and now make a passable Kenny Rogers.?

Menopaws Tue 25-Sept-18 20:32:39

I can get a decent tune out of a ferret if that's of interest

lemongrove Tue 25-Sept-18 20:39:13

You have been missing your cleaning rota in the bar Meno
Have you been off chasing Spanish waiters again?
Oh all right Doodles I suppose I could do a more original
Act for Talent Nite ( and the veils don’t cover as much of me as they used to) hmmmmmm, lemme see now, how about
Juggling beer bottles whilst whistling Another One Bites The Dust? I could still wear very little ( any excuse!) blush

Menopaws Tue 25-Sept-18 20:49:44

It's a thankless task cleaning this place and I knew I would be found out, oh well. I've got a trio of ferrets to train for my act so must crack on

lemongrove Tue 25-Sept-18 23:29:51

Yes, do get on with it Meno those ferrets must be useful if they want to stay at our gaff eating us out of house and home.
Right! Am locking up for the night fellow bar flies.
moon zzzzzzzzz

lemongrove Mon 01-Oct-18 21:11:42

Been a very busy week, so sorry I missed the talent nite, hope it went well, what acts did you all do, and more to the point did it make any money for us?
The Captain has returned Jason the alsation to us, he disgraced himself in the Admiral’s cabin and both he and the Captain were ordered off the ship ( pity they weren’t in port at the time!) Turns out that Jason gripped the Captain by the collar and swam twenty knots through a choppy sea to the shore.Far from being grateful though, he is insisting we house him in the bar ( and the dog.)
Sooooo, the damp looking gent in the corner huddled over a whisky bottle is here for a few days.Feed him will you, ( and the dog) I will be back later. Ta-ra.

Doodle Tue 02-Oct-18 18:44:17

Ferrets, soggy Captain and wet dog .....this place stinks. meno we have to get a cleaner in (or some air freshener). Does anyone know someone who would clean the place for a packet of pork scratchings and a thimble of poteen?

Menopaws Tue 02-Oct-18 19:51:55

Thimble no chance, pint maybe

Buffybee Tue 02-Oct-18 20:02:34

Hello! Is cafe open? Can I come in?
Just moved to this area and looking for a nice place to spend some time.

lemongrove Tue 02-Oct-18 20:46:19

Hello Buffy welcome to our humble abode smile come in and make yourself at home, the chairs in the bar are a bit saggy [Marydoll has seen to that, she's a big womanwink]
but they are pretty comfy.Oh, brush them off a bit before you sit down though, what with the ferrets racing around and now Jason lolling on them.

What will you have? The crème de menthe is good and the house beer is too, Old Dark Goblin, will to have a pint?

there are no rules here, say anything you like, either follow on from the above nonsense or start some new nonsense.grin

lemongrove Tue 02-Oct-18 20:48:13

the last one in this evening usually feeds the dog and locks up.Don't leave the Captain in the bar he will drink us dry.He can share the cellar space with Big Jim.

Marydoll Tue 02-Oct-18 21:05:26

?? BIG WOMAN???? i JUST HAVE BIG BONES AND AM WELL ENDOWED.. Well that's what the Admiral says.
Don't believe anything Lemon says, she out to feather her nest, the crow's nest that is, with the Captain in situ. wink

As for the rest of the crew, I'll leave you to find out for yourself. grin
PS, don't leave out any violet creams if Chewy is about.

Charleygirl5 Tue 02-Oct-18 21:22:25

buffy you are looking for a nice place to have a good time? Maybe a trip to Specsavers because that place aint nice. You are likely to catch some awful disease from a ferret for starters and as for the booze- have you looked at the glass it is poured into? I thought not- have you left your bifocals at home?

I have just given my cat her painkillers so I will join her for an early night and leave you lot to cavort around in my absence.

Menopaws Wed 03-Oct-18 08:47:17

That was a one off, I didn't know the ferret had slept with his head in a pint glass, there was only a couple of hairs in the beer.

Buffybee Wed 03-Oct-18 11:08:00

It looks like a friendly place to me and I'm rather fond of ferrets.
Bit early but I'll take you up on the offer of a pint of Old Dark Goblin. I'll just move this old dog off the seat and settle down.

Doodle Wed 03-Oct-18 14:49:02

Hello buffy nice to meet you. I guess you are now the 'newby' and I move up a position to become one of the 'regulars'. ? Pssst just a quiet word about the initiation ceremony....it involves drinking a pint of poteen and other unmentionable things. ?. That poteen is really dangerous stuff.? I used to wear twin sets and pearls and spent most of my time in 'soop's' kitchen ?‍? I ventured over the threshold of the Argy one night and I haven't been the same since ? You have been warned! ☠️?

Buffybee Wed 03-Oct-18 15:37:24

Thanks Doodle, I'll try to build up some tolerance to the poteen by having a drop in each pint of Old Dark Goblin. Speaking of which, I might as well start now! Shove over Jason, I'm getting comfy now!

Nannytopsy Wed 03-Oct-18 16:14:37

You’re a brave woman Buffy!
