CLOSED - THANKS to all customers for the last few years

Hello all, a cream-crackered Socco crawls in on all fours. Managed to sustain himself for a day at work, well dosed up with a well known brand of soluble apirin. Really, it is not as bad as it sounds and I am grateful for all your good wishes, feel a bit of a fraud really.

Sounds like a few teething troubles with the ACME wonder machine, don't know how we are getting live fish out, they are all frozen when they go in. I tried the sherry trifle, all 78 flavours, no problem there (no, that's not why I'm unwell).

Where's that whisky!

Socs, glad to hear your on the mend.

Keaydian, its help youself here but its all free.

Steps over Socrates in order to get behind the bar.

KEAYD, not many seem to appreciate the finer qualities of life...one bottle of amber nectar sliding along.

Oops butter fingers, can someone point me to the janitor's cupboard.

Over on the left behind the bar, used to have a pooch in there on the odd occasion, look out for empty Bodds cans.Mind the self locking door..when inside :-)

Keaydian, when you have cleared up that mess I suggest you go and have a lie down on the hammock. If Big Al or Chocolat are in there tell them its time they got up and did something useful.

If Big Al and Chocolat are in the Hammock, possible they could be doing something useful already Spacie

opto, good point !

I think Al is on the night shifts at the moment ....

And Chocky is on hols ;-)

Not quite :)
But I'm getting there - still got 12 hours to squeeze in 3 days' worth of stuff to do.
A spot of ruby nectar's going down very well just now.

Hey Socks - hurry up and feel less fraudulent will you?

Groannnnnnnnn. Soccs wakes up on the floor to find someone has built steps over him. Not feeling too chipper so I think I shall retire to bed. I'm sure a good night's sleep will do me a power of good. Anyone seen the aspirins, I'm sure I left some around somewhere. My special brand, sherry trifle flavour.

Good night one and all, mind the steps.

Sleep well Socs .... hope you feel better in the morning :-)

..... and have a great holiday, choccie!

Just popping in for an early nightcap :-)

jj50.

Can you call a locksmith.

Tap tap tap.

Bang bang bang (on the door).

Hello, is anybody about? Locksmith needed asa!

You just about done KD?
Funny, that - the doggie used to make a lot of noise in there too.

Thanks jj - I'll bring back a pressie for you all.
There's always room for another donkey ;)

Morning all! ;-))

Just realised I hadn't been in the old watering hole since 14th Feb! Bloody hell! Just nipped in for a quick smoothie and a swing in the old hammock. Lovely!


Either that or I've been in the hammock since Valentine's Day. Handcuffs are murder to get out of when you're not Houdini. ;-0

Morning all - it's the way choccie locks those handcuffs that's the problem, Al :-)

Looking forward to the donkey,choccie but a hat would do instead!

KD - I don' t think it is ever locked here. Socs did some renovations recently and it could be the draught excluder jamming the door - your whisky glass was empty though :-)

OK, breakfast served ..... FEB for those in need and the usual for the rest. Oh and a special 6 fruit smoothie (with added fibre) for the boss :-)
