What do you think, great place or what?

Menopaws Thu 03-May-18 22:16:20

My DH keeps looking at me wondering what I'm looking at!

Menopaws Thu 03-May-18 22:14:42

Me too ! And no I didn't buy any bottles of starboard funny lady. So let's all drop anchor and show me the ropes across the bar and enjoy a quick baggywrinkle (look it up) and a large tot of rum before hitting the bunk

Anyway...back to business, we have a large order of sausagerolls coming in tomorrow morning ( surplus from Greggs) only a few days out of date and a bargain! Whoever opens up tomorrow, slip the driver a fiver will you?Then heat them up for 15 mins , they will sell like hot cakes ( or lukewarm snacks.)

I often laugh when reading comments on GN ( but usually on the political threads) and on here of course in the dear old Argy, DH gives me a quizzical look now and then.grin

Chewbacca Thu 03-May-18 22:04:05

grin lemon. I actually laughed out loud at that!

lemongrove Thu 03-May-18 21:59:48

Since we are dealing in Naval parlance, get your arse back to The Argy and get the bar shipshape and Bristol fashion for the Friday night rush......all hands on deck ( and all Hans too.)

lemongrove Thu 03-May-18 21:57:09

Oh it was!
I wasn’t disbelieving you Meno but the two rudders may have been a bridge too far grin
two bottles of port? Did you buy any bottles of starboard?
Did you drink it all on the ship?

Menopaws Thu 03-May-18 21:45:10

I went on the ferry, I went in sight of Calais, I went on the bridge and spoke to the captain, then I went to the duty free and got two bottles of port, so only slight exaggeration Lemon but wasn't it fun?!

Chewbacca Thu 03-May-18 21:44:14

Oh my eyes! ?

lemongrove Thu 03-May-18 21:39:16

Hope he didn’t crash into the dockside with you tugging on his rudder (s) Meno
Are you sure that you didn’t dream all this?

Menopaws Thu 03-May-18 21:35:33

You should have seen his reverse thrust!

Chewbacca Thu 03-May-18 19:43:32

What a fella! Could he use them both at the same time Meno? I'm a bit confused

Doodle Thu 03-May-18 19:39:08

eh?! More than one rudder? Are you sure meno ? How many ? had you partaken of before sitting on his "chair"?

Menopaws Thu 03-May-18 18:41:36

He had more than one rudder!!

lemongrove Wed 02-May-18 22:20:45

Meno am surprised you were allowed to steer his rudder,
I thought only the Captain’s wife had that honour?
What a Navy Lark you had! ?‍✈️

lemongrove Wed 02-May-18 22:18:17

You mean a good time girl Mary??

Marydoll Wed 02-May-18 21:11:39

......and we all used to be good girls, well at least I was.?

Doodle Wed 02-May-18 21:04:18

meno giggle??

Menopaws Wed 02-May-18 20:43:38

Yes so did I, but at least I saw a few uniforms and the vibrations were marvellous when docking !

Marydoll Wed 02-May-18 19:52:33

☹️
Oh I had such high hopes.

Menopaws Wed 02-May-18 19:48:11

Funny story, we only got to Calais but didn't get off then came back! Yes I know bit odd but was an educational visit for staff at work and I tagged along so no Frenchmen to get my claws into, sorry ladies!

Marydoll Wed 02-May-18 18:52:10

Well Meno, you have surpassed yourself? However, I think you will find, an ADMIRAL beats a mere captain any time.
I do wonder what scared the captain so much, that he felt the need to scarper?
I hope you didn't reveal what really goes on in the Argy.
Remember, we have a code of honour.?
Did you meet any dishy Frenchmen? ??

Menopaws Wed 02-May-18 09:23:52

I can beat that, I've just been on the cross channel ferry and was invited up to the bridge to meet the captain! Sat in his chair and wore his hat and got to steer his rudder, so there! I also invited him to the Argy but he was last seen running off the ferry into Calais so maybe not

Chewbacca Tue 01-May-18 20:47:07

Was this one of them Marydoll?

Doodle Tue 01-May-18 19:57:09

What time are they coming? Do I have time to get my hair done??‍♀️, what shall I wear? ??. Goodness marydoll you could have given us more warning. I shall just drape myself seductively on the sofa and await their arrival. I shall blow my trumpet ? when they get here just to warn you all. What, you didn't know I could play the trumpet neither did I grin
