Boris's Bar, the NEW 'BB' !

[Boris]

Poor Sticks we are ALL 'getting at him'. We mustn't frighten him off . Customers are pretty thin on the ground around here. A girl has to make a living you know....However, I can do without hte hells angels !:laugh:

[BigSister]

Morning all:thumbs:
Just popped in to chek everything is ok
Will pop in later tonight:hugesmile:

[BusyBee]

Hope you are keeping my favourite stool free for me tonight - I'll be calling in for a large one after doing late night shopping at Asda 'helped' by OH tonight.

After that I will definitely be in need of some R and R. Any entertainment tonight Boris?

[Boris]

I'll sing for yu if you like Busy Bee.

Hmmm, that might might put the other punters off. I don't know though. I might be able to get a certain young Irish gentleman to accompany me . That might please a few Young and old.... ...what do you think. This was our last duet a few weeks ago.........

[BusyBee]

Boris how on earth did you find that picture of me:blush::blush:

Oh how I need this drink tonight. I have spent over an 1 hour listening to OH tell me that we didnt really need 'that' and then for me to turn round and find he's filled the trolley with 'things we just cant do without'. (Or things he cant do without)

Oh I feel frazzled. I hope Paul was more helpful when he went shopping with Helen.:thumbs:

BTW are we having a Pop Idol Final party on Saturday. Any excuse for a party is what I say.:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant:

[steve_o]

Any chance of a pint of Stella, it's been a bit quiet around here lately, I've not been in for a while and now theres a new pub in TIBB. I could just go a few pints right now. http://www.stopstart.fsnet.co.uk/smilie/guin.gif

[Sticks]

I got to attend a cappuchino master class tonight :dance::hello:

It always helps to brush up on ones skills ?

Irish Coffee anyone ?:spin2:

[BusyBee]

A double Irish Coffee please Sticks - that would go down well I must say.

[BigSister]

I agree to having a PI party Busy Bee:hugesmile:
A question: Is there a break during the voting because it doesnt look like it in the tv magazines

[Boris]

How about an 'end of term' party ?

I am just about 'Christmased' out after the past 2 weeks in an Infant School. It is the oddest thing in the world to pack it all away before it has even been celebrated at home!

I need a large drink amd a quiet sit tnight.

Lets party tomorrow night..................YES?
:laugh:

[Romantic Old Bird]

OK, I am here, where's the party???:conf:

I was looking forward to some:dazzler: and some :elephant: along with some :dance: and a bit of :spin2:, possibly some :love: but hopefully not leading to :shocked: or even :blush:

It looks as if I am going to have to make do with :sleep:

[Boris]

You are a day too early ROB!


Tomorrow night is

[LEE]

COME ON MARK


A glass of your finest Red Wine please bar-tender. :hugesmile:

[peachy]

I'm here too, and raring to go, so come on everyone.

I love the odd glass of red wine but after having tried a few glasses of Guinness in Ireland, I can vouch for it tasting absolutely fantastic over there.

[BusyBee]

I'm here Boris. Just dropped in after voting for Mark ******* times.

GO MARK GO

Hope you've got the Champagne on ice Boris to celebrate the winner. Think its going to be a good party - so come on everyone plenty of room for everyone.

[Sticks]

Just got back from the church Christmas party

Now downloading the images for the church newsletter.

It's going to be a long night :sleep: so I may have to hit the coffee

[Boris]

You didn't make the party Sticks....but then neither did a lot of others...in fact iI think at one time it was jusy Busy Bee and me !

Don't know why I bother at all:bawling:

Oh well there id always NEXT time:spin2:

[BusyBee]

Bit of a wake as far as I was concerned on Saturday.

Just to let you know I shall be absent this evening - firm's do so shall be feasting and drinking elsewhere.

The company wont be so good though!!!!

See you tomorrow.

[Boris]

How many days left 'till Christmas?????????????????


:sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep:: sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep:

Think I shall sleep right through it all.

No visitors here this year , but after OH 's behviour last year it is hardly surprising. At least various 'brave' mambers of the family have invited us to their gathering and that means I don't have to do any cooking. Silver lining in black cloud I think.

:dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler:

Maybe I will open the bar instead LOL:laugh:

[Sticks]

Since we are announcing holidays here, I need to flag that I will be disappearing on Christmas Eve in the morning back to head office, and for the moment I will be away until the evening on 7th January (A tad too long and I am trying to get time reduced on good behaviour) :bawling:

[Boris]

I am trying to get time reduced on good behaviour)

Good Luck Sticks...we will miss you and so will the coffee drinkers. I am afraid with the staff shortage due to the 'bug' that has been going around we won't be opening the 'coffee shop' on your behalf. We will have the old expresso maker under the bar for those hardened drinkers who can't do without !

:sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep:

Think I must be talking in my sleep.
Out for supper tonight with OH....Hmmmm!

See you all tomorrow have fun.....:sleep:

[Boris]

not many around tonight...all stuck on the M6 like I was a little while ago. Nasty accident in heavy traffic spoiling some poor souls Christmas.



Any one need serving ????


No...well I will just put my feet up and close my eyes till you call me.


:sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep::sleep:

[LEE]

A glass of your finest Red Wine please Boris. Everything nearly sorted for Christmas - just one thing left to get tomorrow. :thumbs:

[BusyBee]

A large glass of white please Boris. Hair of the dog from last night. Firm's do. Usual people last to leave - well you've got to make the most of these free outings.

Can we have a little less noise tonight please - am feeling a little fragile. A little convivial company would go down well though.

[Boris]

Pull your chairs up to the fire and I'll do a 'lock in'. A nice couple of bottles with a nice couple of friends.

Cheers !:spin2:

[Amy]

[BusyBee]

In competition for Boris's tonight as we are having a party. Anyone free and in the area can pop in. I've done enough food for 'thousands' as OH says. That is after he came in weighed down with bottles, but of course they are 'essential'.

Sister bringing her kareoke machine - so heaven help the neighbourhood, there will be some odd noises coming from chez BB tonight. LOL.

Hope to see pop in to Boris's tomorrow.

[Boris]

Sister bringing her kareoke machine - so heaven help the neighbourhood, there will be some odd noises coming from chez BB tonight. LOL.

It HAS been a bit quiet tonight, Boris . . . . think most folks are abstaining because they're back to work tomorrow. :bawling:

Never fear - I've used the time to change the barrels, re-stock the mixers, and polish up the glasses in preparation for the pre-Hogmanay rush! :laugh:

So Boris's Bar is ready and waiting . . . . . . . what's your order? All tastes catered for! :thumbs:

[BusyBee]

Busy Bee we can hear them from inside the bar with the door closed. You must be having a good night if the noise is .....


Hope we didnt disturb you too much. I raised a glass or two to you all in the Bar. Trouble with parties is the clearing up afterwards. :nono::nono:

Still I have had plenty of practice for the New Year's Eve do at Boris's. I may have my voice back by then. Do you need any balloons blown up - we've got a very clever gadget that does it in seconds.

In the meantime a nice Irish coffee please.

[Boris]

Sorry Busy bee, sticks is away so unless you want to help yourself the coffee is off at the moment.

Glad to hear the Bar is all ready Kaz. My word but we missed you. I hate doinf all the work myself!!!!:bawling:

Kaphc, untill this holiday season is over the mulled wine will be flowing constantly.
Also do a non alchoholic version for those that have 'had enough'...mentionng NO names of course.......

Cheers on and all :love:


http://www.schwartz.co.uk/images/schwartz/MulledWineBowl_GIF.gif

[BusyBee]

Back to work tomorrow - well half day anyway so I'll have a large glass of mulled wine to fortify me please.

Got a few bits and pieces left in the freezer that werent used on Saturday - any good for Wednesday night?

[Boris]

any good for Wednesday night?


As long as no one tells the 'kitchen' inspectors. They are such 'fuddy duddies' about 'use by' dates and the like. I am sure we can use all your left overs. Bussiness has been so bad and every little helps.

Lets make it a giid night on Wendesday. Any suggestions for the entertainmnet side. The Entertainmnments manager has been a bit lacking in her input thisyear. Has a touch of 'Kaphc's' disease I think.....


http://www.furnitureforbusiness.com/party-food.jpg
This what you were offering Busy Bee?
Go down a treat, thanks !

[BusyBee]

This what you were offering Busy Bee?


What such a poor offering as that Boris? I think I can do better than that. After all I did 'borrow' Chef to help me prepare my delicacies. And you didnt even miss him!!

Could have a celebrity look alike competition or fancy dress always goes down well.

[Boris]

Looking forward to it.

:spin2:

[Sticks]

I have escaped at last

The coffee bar will be back in operation from tomorrow :thumbs:

[Boris]

Well done sticks !

I could od with a quick cup right now actually .

:spin2:

[kaphc]

Well let me be the first to pop in on New Year's Eve then!!

Boris, I know about the Entertainment Manager's disease, yes indeedy! However, I think we can all manage a few karaoke numbers tonight. Name your tune everyone!

I'm singing "I will survive" to kick off!!

[Sticks]

Espresso anyone, so you can keep awake ?

[Boris]

YES PLEASE !:spin2:

[Sticks]

Have made a pot of coffee this morning for all you revellers who somehow managed to forget to go home last night :shocked:

I have brought in some bacon, eggs sausages, alka seltzer :hugesmile:

I hope to do a roaring trade in the coffee shop today, especially with the New Year sales :thumbs:

[Boris]

Think I will stick to the coffee thanks sticks.Don;t think I can face anythng else this am. Not that I was out celebrating or anything
Mr. Boris and I had a quiet night in.


http://www.innatschoolhousecreek.com/image/breakfast.jpg

[BusyBee]

Just a large black coffee for me this morning please Sticks. My head can still hear all the fireworks going off last night.

[BigSister]

Just popping in after the New Year celebrations

[Sticks]

I was out this morning in the snow and have been experimenting with a recently aquired digital camera with video capability.

Here is a sample (http://www.gsne03768.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/biglamp01.htm) of my work

[Boris]

You have been busy Sticks.


http://www.cix.co.uk/~pjohnston/Focus/Files/Bustop.gif

[BusyBee]

Snow Sticks I am soo jealous. I love the snow and we rarely see any down here. My daughter, whose birthday it was yesterday, says every year that she wants snow on her birthday and all she ever gets is b****y rain!!!!!

[Kaz]

Been snowing up here too, BusyBee. Just a week late . . . . . hey ho! :laugh:

Bar's open for business, folks - anyone for a 'hair of the dog'? You know the best way to avoid a hangover is never to sober up, don't you? :spin2:

[Boris]

Thanks for opening up tonight Kaz. I was a bit late. That Peachy dragged me off for a swim. The pool has been closed since the 23rd. It was HARD WORK doinf a mile tonight! PHEW...........................:shocked:
I will just prop up the bar for the rest of the evening.:laugh:

[sweetlittlesara]

I come in for a bit of a chat, and there is nobody in here! The bar going out of business at all?? Was hoping for a drink..

[BusyBee]

That Boris has probably gone off doing her swimming Sara and everyone off getting bargains in the sale. It can get very lively I will have you know - a very cosy friendly establishment - extremely well managed and run. Call in again do.

[Stowfordpress]

Stay p*ssed! It's the only way!!!:colour:

[Boris]

That Boris has probably gone off doing her swimming


yesterday was enough for me my dear !!!

[BigSister]

http://www.bestanimations.com/Signs&Shapes/Smileys/Smiley-12.gif

[Sticks]

Cappuchino anyone ?

[Boris]

Stay p*ssed! It's the only way!!!


Well you would know that best stowford old boy. But don't go shopping till you sober up. It really is the safest option. You never know WHAT you might come home with.Might even be one of these and a Donkey to boot !


http://www.superiorsulky.com/images/Show/openwood.jpg:laugh:

[Kaz]

Evening, punters! :laugh:

Special offer on for this evening only . . . . . . . purchase one of Sticks' excellent varieties of coffee and get a free 'nip' of brandy or whisky included! Just the thing to warm the cockles on a chilly winter night. :thumbs:

Mr. Hadley and Mr. Cox you say LEE. That sounds admirable.We can forgive you for scouting for talent......for ANY reason !:shocked: LOL

We look forward to seeing you around and about and IN the bar a bit more.

You were spotted looking up the 'IRISH' talent too :laugh:

[Romantic Old Bird]

There is a pic in our local rag of the aforesaid Hadley and Cox Esq - re: their appearance at the Theatre Royal Nottingham in February.

I was playing around with BBCode :dance:

See the FAQ section for details.

[BusyBee]

I do not know what Mr. Sticks is talking about.Cef has not been anywhere today and the men that came aroundwere not environmentel...just plain MENTAL ! they had excaped from the local institution and were spreading doom and gloom around for a bit of fun.

Let me know if you see them again.


http://www.horror-wood.com/Bash03.gif

[BusyBee]

Well Sticks may have got the wrong idea about chef when he responded to my SOS this morning and dashed round to the office with a very tasty tuna salad for my lunch. I was in such a rush this morning that I forgot my lunch. I thanked him accordingly:blush::hugesmile::hugesmile:

[Boris]

I hope you gave him a tip!:laugh:

[The Duchess]

Not a very busy place this. In fact I almost missed it.

When a personage such as myself drops by one would expect a little defference at leeast not solitary confinement!

Heloooooooo!

SERVICE if you please bar tender ! :shocked:

Good morning, Duchess. :wavey:

Bar Manager Kaz here at your service - that was quite a grand entrance you made!!! :laugh:

[BigSister]

Just popping in for a drink before my exam this afternoon:mad:

[BusyBee]

Duchess you must have popped in on one of chef's (very infrequent) off nights. I am usually there to oversee his offerings, but must have been otherwise engaged that night, probably sharing a tipple or two with Boris.

He takes great pleasure in catering for all our culinary needs and is always trying new recipes for our delictation.

[The Duchess]

Who is this Boris anyway?
I don't think I have ever met him.

[Sticks]

I always make sure we have fresh toasties and panninis (spelling?) and Danish pastries for the coffee bar.

We hope to get some cinnamon buns in soon :thumbs:

Cafe Americano anyone ?

Evening, Duchess, good to have your custom again tonight. :thumbs:

Boris is actually a she! :laugh: And she is the creator and owner of this fine establishment. She must be away on business at the moment, but I'm sure she'll welcome you with open arms on her return.

In the meantime . . . . . . . . . care for a cocktail?

[blinkinlovely]

Needed it to erase the memory of leicester's debacle at Boro today................


no I still remember , it and Sinclair wasn't even playing:bawling:

[Kaz]

Oh dear! :bawling:

In that case, you might need a few more of these to drown your sorrows, blinkinlovely!

Say when! :thumbs:

[blinkinlovely]

Keep them flowing ..I've just seen the highlights on TV. Even the cat is hiding now:bawling::bawling:

[The Duchess]

Think Boris will be offering 'Hair of the dog' if she ever turns up !

:joker:

[BusyBee]

Been away for the week-end with OH to see some friends in Jersey. Very tiring - soooooo many shops to visit, soooo many things to buy.

I'm going to need that pay rise to pay off the credit card:bawling::elephant:

Acquired a fantastic French Onion soup recipe that I will pass on to chef later - perhaps he can add it to the menu - its got brandy in it. :thumbs:

[LEE]

A VERY large JD and coke please barman.

Yes I know it's 2:30 in the afternoon but I have had it up to here and need to get seriously drunk!!

CLICK HERE to find out why (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=28607&page=#pid59623), if you've not read the Aaaaaarghhhhh!!!!!! thread already!!

[BusyBee]

A VERY large JD and coke please barman.


Oh Lee go mad and have two. I think you deserve it! Try throwing things it sometimes makes you feel better. I have a soft lion on my desk and when I get annoyed I throw it at the opposite wall and it roars and says "I am a lion and I will eat you up". I also have a voodoo orange (a dried out orange with a face on it made out of pins) and I twist the pins when someone annoys me. Makes me feel better anyway You are welcome to borrow it and hex someone on your chain.

Until some excess baggage has been removed from the ROB haunches.

Thank God for Alison and a couple of the others on Celebrity Fit Club. I was beginning to think I was heavier than all of them......:blush::bawling::blush:

[Boris]

Not in my bar you don't ROB.....the only person to be 'not drinking ' around here is ....ME!


Have you missed me everyone???

Silence was the stern reply!!

I am just looking for some suitable premises and then we will be up for sale here and moving on. Hope you will lall come with me. There is noknowing what it will all lead to.

Boris - you are getting quite the entrepeneur arent you. When are you giving up the day job.

I too have given up alcohol as part of my diet, but it will not stop me coming to the bar - I shall just be on the tonic water with ice and a slice (I can then pretend its gin and tonic)

[Boris]

My word this hotel business is hard work. They have let me out from the course for the night. I am studying Hotel management ! As for giving up the day job???? well the world is my oyster right now.....just looking for the pearl of great price.


Give me a coule more days....or weeks and we will be on the market !
:laugh:

[Kaz]

Hi, Boris! :wavey:

All this news is making me very nervous! :shocked:

I've just settled into my new position as Bar Manager, and now I hear that you're to be putting Boris's Bar up for sale!!!!!

I've already been made redundant once, and it wasn't a pleasant experience, so I hope you'll bear me in mind for a position in your new venture . . . . . . . . . I'm certainly open to any offers. :thumbs:


Oh, ROB . . . . . . . . this is for you from Busy Bee!

http://www.willystcoop.com/graphics/glassoj.jpg

[BusyBee]

Just make sure all this stress doesnt turn our friendly Boris into a stressed out monster. Just take a chill pill and you will cope with it all.

Its not worth it Boris. How big are you intending this hotel to be? Hope you will give your 'regulars' preferential treatment and A DISCOUNT of course.:thumbs:

[Boris]

I've already been made redundant once, and it wasn't a pleasant experience, so I hope you'll bear me in mind for a position in your new venture . . . . . . . . . I'm certainly open to any offers.


I said I was going to expa a a a a a a nd Kaz , not 'cut back'. Yes Busy Bee that does mean I will take you all with me for 'better or for worse'. I am not the 'flighty ' sort.

[BusyBee]

I am not the 'flighty ' sort.


I'm very glad to hear this Boris. As you are expanding which will mean more work for us menials - will we be getting the commensurate remuneration?:hugesmile::hugesmile:

[Boris]

How are you at doing the chambermaid stuff ?

I can always find work for willing hands !!!!

[Amy]

Ok I'll have a drink of everything tonight please :thumbs:

[peachy]

It's so nice to know Boris's bar is there when we need it. I've felt in need of a few glasses of vino this week and I will be totally stressed out until next weekend when I fly to Belfast for two nights of great craic and laughter.

Until then lets all have good bevy in Boris's Bar. To get us through this hideous month and the prospect of cold weather and snow to come!

[BigSister]

*orders a drink after being stressed out with coursework*

Glad to see you're keeping me busy, folks! :thumbs:

Just what i need for my interview tommorow

[BusyBee]

Just what i need for my interview tommorow


Good luck with your interview BigSister - another one for us to keep our fingers crossed for.

If you are serving large ones Boris - can I please have the biggest Brandy and Lemonade you can rustle up.

I have had a horrendous couple of days. - As I said I got a pay rise last week, well they have certainly been making me earn it. On Friday a really long running case which is due to be heard in London on Tuesday went belly up so I spent Friday, Saturday and this morning in work trying to get everything ready to go to a new barrister tomorrow morning. Its all ready now but I am absolutely k-nackered.

So I desperately need that pick me up Boris.

[Boris]

As I said I got a pay rise last week,


Well you can use some of it by paying for this very latge brandy and lemonade....lemonade????
each to his own I suppose !

[Boris]

AMy I have just spotted you rplea for a ''drink of everything'' tonight.

Was life so bad ????

Hope the head is a bit better after all the booze !

[BigSister]

Thanks Busy Bee

[Romantic Old Bird]

Can I have a large G&T please?

A twist of lemon, and just a little ice, but in a chilled glass.

I can't drink it, but I'd like to watch you pour it..........slowly.


The clink of the ice in the glass, the click of the optic as it dispenses the second measure.........

The sudden 'phizz' of the tonic water bottle being opened....

The effervescent surge as the tonic meets the ice, followed by a sudden stillness.

The gentle splash of the lemon, the soft clink of the ice as you place the glass gently on the table in front of me.

Now, the anticipation.......

Watching the condensation running slowly down the glass an droplets soaking and spreading into the paper, marking the place of the glass so that when I pick it up you I know I can place it down in exactly the same place.

Now I reach out my hand, and embrace the glass, steeling myself for the sudden damp chill of it's contact. Even though I know it's a dark January night I can almost feel the sun on my face, hear the whisper of the warm breeze in the grass and the distant lazy drone of bees.

Slowly, I lift the glass to my lips.

My eyes close, and I stop for a moment to feel the tiny sprinkle of bubbles on my nose.

Then I open my eyes, and watch, hypnotised as the light dances on the ice.

I notice the man sittin opposite me at the bar, bearing an uncanny resemblance to Thierry Henry.

He is also transfixed, but not by the drink. His eyes bore into me and I feel my neck becoming suddenly hot.

I slowly lift the glass a little higher and touch the nape of my neck, and look up, unable to resist the intensity of his stare.

His eyes meet mine, and I unconciously gasp.

I feel suddenly weak.

Cautiously I bring the glass again to my lips, allowing a little, a very little of it to touch my tongue.

It is enough. My head clears, and I place the glass slowly and deliberately down, exactly where you first placed it for me.

I know he is still watching me.

I lean forward, my elbows resting on the bar, thankful that I chose a top to display my decolletage to it's best advantage.

I dip my finger into the glass, and lift it to my lips as I lift my eyes to meet his.

I run my finger slowly along my lower lip as I look deeply into his fathomless eyes.

He smiles enigmatically, and lifts his glass.

'Salut!' he calls softly, as he slips from his stool and begins to walk towards me.

Trembling, I lift my glass in reply and at last take a long, cooling sip.

'Salut', I murmur, my eyes locked with his as he moves ever closer.

I start to rise from my stool, my heart racing, scarcely able to breathe.

My heel catches the rung, my elbow
slips from the counter, and my drink floats up majestically from my hand.

I watch, as if in slow motion, the glass and it's contents take a seperate, parallel upward course before inevitably losing their fight with gravity.

Sitting on the floor of the bar, I marvel at the sheer volume of the contents of the glass, as I pull the delicate twist of lemon from my cleavage.







OK, so I didn't get the drink, and I didn't get the vav-va -voom, but look at it this way: I'm still on the diet, and I can still dream.

Night all!:wavey:

[Kaz]

Loved the scenario ROB. Back on top form I see. What a star you are! xx

Good luck with the interview Bigsister let us know how it goes.

That glass of red went down a treat, ta muchly, Kaz xx

[BigSister]

Thanks for the kind wishes

It went ok(I think) I will have to wait for a few days though

[BusyBee]

ROB I was there with you. You bring your little 'stories' to life. Oh how we miss your P and H insights.

I'm back on the wagon now after my 'slip' over the week-end. I trust I can rely on you all to keep me on the straight and narrow and not allow a drop of the hard stuff to pass my lips.

[Boris]

I can still dream.



My, my, Rob! And dreams are made of this......... I fear we ALL have them.

Was going to say it was like eating chocolate with the paper on when i first started to read, but it rose above such trivia.

[Boris]

What a quiet time we are having.

Think word is getting about that men 'eye up' women in here - not t o mention 'women eyeing up men' before falling from their stools in a drunken stupor !

Would that I could get a little of the action !!!!!:laugh:

[LEE]

I'm here Boris, I'm just trying not to be too obvious cos I'm sure if the powers that be think I am even slightly celebrating about my move then something else will crop up tomorrow and we won't be able to exchange!!!!

[BusyBee]

not t o mention 'women eyeing up men' before falling from their stools in a drunken stupor !


Boris will people think :shocked::shocked:

We are all well brought up ladies and wouldnt dream of behaving in such a way :nono::nono:

BTW if the latest news proves to be correct can we have a HUGE celebration in the bar. We can all bring a 'little something'. Now that really would be an excuse to paint the bar red:thumbs:

[LEE]

Now that really would be an excuse to paint the bar redOr sparkly glittery pink :laugh:

[BigSister]

*runs in*

Hot chocolate please

[Sticks]

Marshmallows in that ?

The Caffe Lattes are selling well today with the poor weather as it is :thumbs:

[LEE]

Don't like Latte's - far too milky for me - a nice double espresso would go down a treat though Sticks if you please. :thumbs:

[Boris]

We are all well brought up ladies and wouldnt dream of behaving in such a way


I believe you .....NOT !!!!!

Think the coffee should have rum in it....or anything else that you like to keep out the cold.

This way to the coffee maker in the bar. Anyway it is cheaper than the fancy stuff in the 'Coffee bar' !


http://www.engravingcreations.com/images/Products/Glass/CB/3403,%205004%20Irish%20Coffee.jpg

[LEE]

Looks and sounds lovely Boris, I would be careful though as it looks as though you might have accidentally 'acquired' some glasses from a rival establishment :blush:

[Romantic Old Bird]

How about a nice HOT TODDY to stave of those winter chills?
http://www.waitrose.com/images/recipes/0111095-r05.jpg

Hot Toddy


Serves: 1

Ingredients
6 cloves
2 slices lemon
50ml whisky
2 tsp honey or golden syrup
25ml lemon juice
Pinch ground cinnamon
100ml hot water

Instructions
Stick the cloves into the lemon skin. Put these and all the other ingredients into a thick-based, heatproof glass and stir gently. Garnish with a cinnamon stick.


Don't worry if you haven't got whisky bar-tender...

Any other spirit or liquer will do in an emergency.....

Purely medicinal of course!


http://howie.backstreet.net/boards/images/drunken-smiley.gif

I think this bar might be the place to be tonight!

http://www.clipartworld.de/lay3/smileys/party2.gif

[BusyBee]

That roaring fire in the corner looks very appealing tonight Boris. Just right for toasting marshallows. Baggsie my seat in the corner. How about producing some mulled wine this evening.

Just what we all need on this cold winter evening.

[kaphc]

Count me in on one of those hot toddies, ROB!

A girl has to make ends meet somehow!!

And Sticks you are casting aspersions on my establishment. Kettle indeed !

It is NOT just a kettle it is an expensive piece of kitchen equipment the just LOOKS like a kettle !

[Sticks]

Far be it from me to cast aspersion about the kettle, fine example as it is.

But Happy Shopper Intstant coffee???? :shocked:

If I use instant, at least it's
http://www.nescafe.co.uk/Images/Right/about_otlta_ani.gif

[Sticks]

Just to let everyone know, I am off for the weekend at a church planning retreat in a forest somewhere in Northumberland. (Being picked up at 16:00 hours)

It is a three line whip so I have to go. Looks like the coffee drinkers will have to put up with Happy Shopper Instant :bawling:

[BusyBee]

No problem with the coffee I'm more than happy to bring in my coffee maker - after all instant coffee is just not on for the high class clientele that frequent this establishment.:nono::nono:

BTW on the radio the other morning they were talking about a comedy kettle that when it boils gives a message from people like Jim Royle and Bungle, Zippy and George. No one of those could be quite a talking point.:hugesmile:

Is there going to be plenty of :dazzler::dazzler::dazzler: to celebrate Lee's news?:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant:

[kaphc]

Definitely, I reckon we need lots of loud music, streamers and let's get the alcohol flowing!

We thought today would never come,
But LEE's exchanged today!
So let's all let our hair down
And celebrate - hooray!!!


:elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant::elephant: :elephant:

[LEE]

Sounds like a really good idea to me folks.

This round is on me. :dance:

[Boris]

We thought today would never come,


Oh LEE we celebrate with you,
Your day has come at last,
SO get on with the packing now,
And fill that van ...it's vast....

well they usually are so I expect yours will be too.

After LEE has paid for the 1st round I will get 'doubles' for everyone. It's not often a friend exchanges contracts in a mere.....how mwny months was it LEE????

LOL...yes I know it wasn't really funny LEE- sorry!

Hello everyone.

I am not sober.

Welcome 'BD Conveyancing Services Ltd' lol We are seriously gonig to get trained up and start a new business together - I mean we can't be any worse than the shower we have been dealing with for the last few months can we lol

The next round is on me

I should have been finishing getting ready for the packing people tomorrow, but putting the world to rights with Sarah was much more preferable. :thumbs:

[Boris]

Glad to hear it LEE>

Now about getting 'legless' outside this establishement.....

That is just NOT the ticket!
You could at least have brought her here. It sounds as if I have lost out on a very profitable evening!!!!

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!

[BusyBee]

DON'T LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN!


I think the setting of 1000 lines is in order here or possibly a week of washing up at Boris's. Still there were mitigating circumstances.

[Boris]

Sorry I haven't bee in here,
To serve you all tonight,
I 've had my head stuck in the 'pan',
OHhhhhhh, what a horrible sight.


http://www.eslkidstuff.com/images/toilet.gif

[Kaz]

Are you feeling alright now Boris? :love:

Don't feel you have to struggle in if you're feeling under the weather - I'm here to hold the fort for you. :thumbs:

Perhaps this might help settle your delicate constitution . . . . . . . .

[Boris]

OOhhh Kaz,
About gallon might do the trick.....here we go again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!:shocked:

[BusyBee]

Poor Boris - hope you are getting a lot of TLC at home. We look forward to seeing back in the bar when you are feeling your usual bright and breezy self.:thumbs::xyxwave:

[Boris]

What's TLC please ????

Don't get much of that round here:bawling:

Feel sorry for me do you???

Don't it's all a sham !

Bit better tonight but keeping close to the smallest room:laugh:

[Boris]

Suppose word is out that I've got food poisoning......
Well I haven't. It is a bug so there. You needn't be afraid of eating in here.

Hope it livens up a little later.
I could do with something to cheer me up after the rotten few days I have had.


http://www.somethingnewflorist.com/images/PartyThemes/Title_PartyThemes.jpg

Anyway, we have LEE's housewarming party to organise.
ANY IDEAS for a special theme ?

[BusyBee]

Glad you are feeling better Boris. Just think of all the weight you've lost
:thumbs::thumbs:

As far as Lee is concerned one very bad idea could be solicitors and clients :hugesmile::hugesmile::hugesmile:

Will put my thinking head on though. Oh dear it hurts. :blush:

Too many bevvies Busy Bee though from my side of the bar there are never TOO many !

Oh well maybe just the one ....

[BusyBee]

Just had a thought - we could have a
I'm a celebrity party - we could all swear a lot, flirt a lot, sing, moan about food, eat rice and beans, generally have a jolly good time and not forget to promote our latest book, tv programme or personal appearance.

What do you think.:hugesmile::hugesmile:

[BigSister]

Good idea Busy Bee:hugesmile:

[Boris]

Seems like the whole world dropped into a 'black hole' today.......no one came in here during the dark hours. Hope the problems have been sorted out now.

What can I get you all???

This health quest business is just a touch tedious though.

I need a distraction.

Bring on the Chippendales!

Got a text from LEE last night - she wasn't sober :laugh:, was in Edinburgh, and it was blowing a blizzard! :shocked:

And Kaz make sure you uphold the honour of TIBB and behave as we would expect one of our members to i.e. yell, shout, sing, have a really good time and afterwards as Amy says have one or two lemonades.

Enjoy yourself.

Hope you've authorised my leave slip, Boris.


What's it worth Kaz old thing?


HEE HEE HEE!

I am a grump this evening. I have just been to visit the dentist.Not only did he find something to deal with - what a surprise now that I have to pay through the nose for EVERYTHING - but the pain and agony he inflicted eith the injection were something I have yet to recover from.

He hit the nerve!

Not only did he hit the nerve but everytime he moved the needle to try to avoid it he hit another bit. I now havea numb:

ear
cheek
lower lip (complete)
tongue-3/4
eyebrow
toplip-half
left side of throat
left side of neck
difficulty swallowing

he said he had not done it so thoroughly in a LOOOOONG time.Did I

NO:mad: AND it was a crown that he was repairing LOL

Amy - Thanks - I'll try and have one or two. :thumbs:

BusyBee - As if I would! :shocked: OK then, of course I will. :hello:

Boris . . . . . . . :love: dear Boris . . . . . . . . :love: . . . . . . . have I grovelled enough? No? Well, It'll just have to be 'sick leave' then! :spin2:

Latest update on LEE's travels - spoke to her today . . . . . she's now in Glasgow . . . . she's not sober :laugh: . . . . . . but with good reason as the final conclusion of her house sale went through today. :hello: :elephant: :hello: So the drinks are on her tomorrow night! :thumbs:

[BusyBee]

Hope you are feeling better Boris. Think you should sue for medical negligence. That compensation would pay for the new hotel and the refurbishment.:thumbs::thumbs:

[Boris]

I am still gargling!!!!!!!



Well matbe just the one littel glass of ''tincture''....it might just hit the spot.:laugh:

And um yes Kaz you HAVE grovelled enough. Permission granted !

Have fun:love::dazzler::love:

[Sticks]

Being Tee-Total I will settle for a Mocca with whipped cream and a chocolat flake :hello:

[Amy]

I feel we should keep celebrating :laugh:
Besides we have the run of the bar till Boris is back! :shocked:

More Champagne anyone?


http://www.platuglen.dk/Fest/anchampagne.gif

[BusyBee]

Yes please Amy.

Need cheering up, just returned from a trip to London for the day to watch the Chelsea/Arsenal match. Our senior partner is a big Chelsea fan and has front row seats in the executive box which means free three course meal, free refreshments at half-time and after etc. etc . Though not a patch on the delectations offered by Boris. Anyway this week I had the tickets and they lost.

Still at least Bristol City won again.

So bring on the champagne Amy plus a few canapes would go down well.

[Amy]

Ok BusyBee here's another glass or would you prefer a bottle :thumbs:

[The Duchess]

Where have you all been??

I kept coming around but there wa s no one here:bawling:

[Amy]

Awww :bawling: the site went away for a small while :bawling: The bar's open again now! :thumbs: just need to find the owner!

[BusyBee]

just need to find the owner!


To rewrite a popular phase - While the owner is away the customers can play:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

[BusyBee]

Of course we could always arrange a take-over, but we couldnt do that to Boris could we?

[Amy]

No! :shocked: Besides we would not make a profit as I'd drink all the booze :laugh:

[BusyBee]

as I'd drink all the booze


Might be willing to help you out there Amy:blush::blush::hugesmile:

We definitely need Boris to keep us all under control.

[Amy]

Awol owners :shocked: lots of booze for me and you to drink! :hugesmile::hugesmile::hugesmile:

*checks under drinks mat "boris you there?" * No sign of her anywhere :shocked:

[Sticks]

As the operator of the coffee shop, I am filling in. Did I forget to mention this :blush:

Coffee Liquors anyone ?

[The Duchess]

I'd like a large one please.....and WHY do we need to find this Boris? Surely anyone can run a bar. Just put an offer in and run it as a consortium...but you mustn't drink all your profits.That would NEVER do !:dance:

Well if you've drunk all the champagne... :hugesmile:

I'll pass on the coffee liquors though...

:hugesmile:

[BusyBee]

New supply of champagne winging its way to the bar though I'll certainly have one or two of those coffee liquours.

BTW OH had a cocktail making book given him at Christmas (dont know why he doesnt like cocktails!!) but I can acquire it and perhaps we could have a cocktail making and testing session or two. Sounds good to me.:thumbs:

[BusyBee]

Ready and waiting with book and ingredients at the ready. I'm told I make a very palatable 'Between the Sheets'.
