What do you think, great place or what?

Marydoll Fri 20-Apr-18 20:41:56

I'm back, but Big Jim is recuperating in Berlin, suffering from exhaustion.?, so I have brought back, Handsome Is and his twin brother Handsome Does to keep me company.
Rummaging through the bins at the back of the airport, I found some out of date currywurst, which should be fine, if we smother it in some cheap curry sauce. That will make a bob or two.
Doodle, don't worry about the tea towel, we share everything in the Argy. ?I can't remember the last time it was washed.
Jane, Hans is always putting his foot in his mouth. Thank goodness he speaks in an obscure German dialect, his language is too shocking, even for me.?
Lemon, I can teach you a few useful words in German. ?
Where are Chewy and Meno, by the way? Are they skiving? They had better not be entertaining the Hansssssssss. I've lost count of how many Hans we have.
Remember our new slogan: Many Hanssssss make light work ✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋✋

I meant to welcome all the new faces to the Argy. It's lovely to see you all. We do need some new life about the place.(Even if you do have some peculiar habits)
However, remember Hans off Big Jim, he is easily led astray.?.......and he is MINE!

Well, the place is shaping up nicely, a bit of spit and polish does wonders.
These chairs are very comfy too, and tasteful, mock croc,
Tres chic!
Contrasts well with my faux fur tank top and denim shorts.
Anyone like a drink??

Mapleleaf Fri 20-Apr-18 22:25:32

Glad you escaped the bomb, Marydoll.
All those Hanssss will come in very handy to get the cafe up and running ????.
Can one of them find some bratwurst? ????

Marydoll Fri 20-Apr-18 22:39:42

Mapleleaf, it was an expensive bomb! I had to use £50 from the swearbox for a taxi to the airport. The centre of Berlin was in lockdown☹️.
I'll do some moonlighting to make up the cash.?
Have you spoken to someone about your obsession with Bratwurst? I brought currywurst, what more do you want? OK, it's not quite the same, but I tried my best. ☹️

I made a delicious curry yesterday from turkey thigh pieces but I warn you in advance that it should not be reheated but the guts of you lot will be able to withstand it. It is well worth it.

I do on line shopping, this was supposedly fresh and I froze it but the store must have frozen it without mentioning. It would be a pity to waste it. Enjoy.

Charleygirl Sat 21-Apr-18 09:33:46

I think we should use up the stacks of newspaper I possess for loo use because IZAL costs money. Admittedly it is not as expensive as "soft" paper but my feeling is we will be bankrupt within a week if we buy that because of the way that people use it. You are not supposed to cover your head, face and entire body with it.

Teetime Sat 21-Apr-18 09:38:32

'I'm here, but please explain, why your opening up a healing wound again' to quote Will Young - not sure (or am I ) where that came from. Dreamt I couldn't walk in one dream last night then I was CEO of something in another and would be required to do business trips including being shot into space. Espresso Martini please and keep them coming.

lemongrove Sat 21-Apr-18 11:48:37

It sounds as if the espress Martinis have been coming already Teetime or are Chewy’s hash brownies kicking in?

lemongrove Sat 21-Apr-18 11:52:50

It’s hot again today, I will prop open the caff door to entice some passing trade in, and, I daresay, a few flies( but we’re used to that here.)????
All creatures great and small etc.?
Although keep an eye on Iam64’s dogs, especially the small one, he tends to cock a leg against the bar.

Menopaws Sat 21-Apr-18 14:57:23

I'm still about I'll have you know, just checking out the competition

Grannybags Sat 21-Apr-18 16:12:27

Oooh......can I come in? I've never been here before but I was passing and saw the door open. I wasn't sure if I'd be dressed properly but I see I'm going to fit in well in my leopard skin jumpsuit and white stilettos.

I'll have a hash brownie if there's one left

Chewbacca Sat 21-Apr-18 16:58:59

Choose your hash brownie carefully Grannybags. The last batch I made, I'd run out of a "vital ingredient" and I had to improvise. Some are regular, run of the mill brownies and some are "special".

Grannybags Sat 21-Apr-18 17:05:09

That was a special one - very nice thank you! wink

Marydoll Sat 21-Apr-18 18:46:03

Has anyone seen the bag of plaster of Paris I left down for a moment, it has disappeared?
I put in in a box which said, " Be Ro Self Raising Flour". as the original bag had burst.
I do hope no-one is daft enough to mistake it for self raising flour and makes brownies with it.??

Doodle Sat 21-Apr-18 20:08:24

???? grrr, i cnt opn my mowf, it feels as though it's set in plastr. Last time I bake any brownies ?

Chewbacca Sat 21-Apr-18 20:13:33

Grrrrr Marydoll! That's the 3rd time you've left your dratted plaster of Paris in the kitchen and I've used it in the baking. angry Now poor old Doodle's jaw has set solid and the brownies are like bricks. I'll have to make some custard to soften 'em up a bit. What do you need all that plaster of Paris for anyway? You've had tons of the stuff lately.

lemongrove Sat 21-Apr-18 20:52:49

That was my question as well Chewy wot the ‘ell is Marydoll up to now??

Menopaws Sat 21-Apr-18 21:10:51

Brudy hell I can't speak ,absinthe someone please, that will unlock my teeth

Cherrytree59 Sat 21-Apr-18 21:26:31

Another just passing and saw your door ajar.
Strange smell wafting out. Cant quite put my finger on it.

Marydoll Sat 21-Apr-18 21:28:54

JaneD3 Sat 21-Apr-18 21:57:40

Do we need Hans in mouth to free off the platered jaws?

JaneD3 Sat 21-Apr-18 22:07:09

Plastered

Marydoll Sat 21-Apr-18 22:22:45

Have you been at Poteen, Jane ?
Hans the handyman has tried without success.?
?️?
We may need to call for the fire service to assist.?‍??
Oh joy! ?

Menopaws Sat 21-Apr-18 22:30:39
