Boris's Bar, the NEW 'BB' !

[Boris]

The New ‘BB’ !

Everybody’s heard of ‘Cheers’,
The Boston bar that sold those beers,
The people there who came and went,
Spending money – sometimes the rent.

Well now it seems WE need a place,
Where anyone can show their face,
For ‘winding down’ and ‘chilling out’,
For chatting and a jovial shout,
To tell their troubles,
Share some fun,
When trials of the day are done.

So welcome to the new ‘BB’,
Where I hope you’ll all be pleased to see,
Friend BORIS standing by the pump,
Your host, your barman…that made you jump !

So take a glass of wine with me,
A sip of cider, sup of beer;
Gin or whiskey, make you frisky,
A drop of rum to warm your tum.

Or Adam’s ale if you prefer,
Martini that you shake not stir,
Juice of apple, orange, grape,
All will help you keep in shape.

The ‘Kiss of Death’ has gone at last,
To ‘Boris’s Bar’ you all must pass.
I’d thought to call it ‘Sailors Rest’,
But the ‘Barmy Army’ though it best,
To NOT exclude them from the fun,
For they’ve been loyal troops each one.

So now to meet at Boris’s bar,
However you travel however far,
We’ll meet up here come rain , come shine,
And have ourselves a…
RIGHT GOOD TIME !

Cheers one and all .
See you here tomorrow !

[kaphc]

Oooh how exciting, a new thread is born
It doesn't leave us time to mourn
The "Kiss of Death", so that deserves a cheer
And while I'm at it, make mine a beer!

[rachb]

Well I was so sad to see the kiss of death thread has been closed down for good but very happy to see this trendy new bar built in its place:hello::hello:
let me get the drinks in to celebrate!!http://www.platuglen.dk/Fest/anchampagne.gif
Cheers!!

[Boris]

On opening night
I think you'll see,
A round of drinks
Will be on me !

Cheeers !

With all this joviallity

May I see your entertainments licence ? :nono:

Plus we have had complaints of noise from the neighbours so we will be opposing your renewal of your licence at the magistrates

Evening all - mind how you go

[Maggie]

A bit of Karaoke in this bar I hope :dazzler: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dazzler:

[BigSister]

Yeah a bar
(Just dont tell anyone im under age:hugesmile:)

[BusyBee]

Did you get the idea from all the virtual parties we have been having Boris. Sounds good to me.

If you have any problem with the licence just let me know I am a dab hand at dealing with the licencing authorities - all in the name of work I must stress.:joker:

[Di2001]

Have you got Tia Maria? Or Baileys? Do you need to order them in for me?!!

:laugh::spin2::laugh::spin2::laugh::spin2:

[Boris]

Just the place to drown my sorrows . . . . . I was made redundant tonight, don't you know?
.......Oh KAZ !!!!

Then I have just the thing for you...

When I'm not here ,
I'll not be far,
But I'll need help behind the bar.
So if you're careful ,
Don't spill the wine,
A job with me will be just fine.
Your application sent to me,
And we will see what is to be !

Fancy being a barmaid here kaz? It night be moore fun that in the TiBB barmy Army.

And all you others...

We DO have a licence !
We have all and any drinks you might ever want !
AND
Jovial company at all times.

That ok ?

[sweetlittlesara]

Ooooh I need a saturday job, can I clear up the glasses :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Boris]

http://www.environ.org.uk/images/u/wCars002%20-%20car%20cartoon.jpg

I have been called away to darkest Birmingham to babysit while may daughter andher husband fly off to Cork for the weekend.

Yes Sarah you can collect glasses and wash them up
I only hope kaz takes on the role of chief barmaid or ''Boris's Bar' will not be open all weekend till my return on Sunday.

Just what a doting Grandma didn't need having been away herself last weekend ...

Oh well I can deny my daughter nothing !

Cheers all have a good weekend!

:dazzler:

[Kaz]

Fancy being a barmaid here kaz?


OOOOH! :laugh: Would I? :laugh: And CHIEF Barmaid at that! :hello:

Boris, it would be an honour and a pleasure - of course I accept! :love:

At your service yet again. I'm a happy bunny now. And fear not, Boris's Bar will be in safe hands during your absence.

:xyxwave:

[LEE]

Hi all :hugesmile:

oooh, haven't been in here before, it looks very nice lol.

Do you need an entertainments manager Boris - I know a few acts who might be persuaded to do a turn for the odd glass of JD lol

[Sticks]

Do you do Steak and Ale pies at all ?

Any chance of a look at the food menu. Is there anything in the rumour that this place is to be taken over by J D Wetherspoons

[rachb]

well Sticks I'm glad you asked that,I was hoping for a job in the kitchen if there is a chance Boris,Kaz?????
try my steak pie Sticks and then pass on your comments to the bar manager and hopefully I'll have myself a regular job:thumbs:
http://www.platuglen.dk/Kager/berrypie.gif
Sticks let me know if you want chips with it or veg????:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Sticks]

I usually have the NOT Chips option :dance:

[BusyBee]

I'm willing to test out all those yummy desserts - after all cant have sub-standard produce in this bar can you and I am happy to put my diet to one side so I can perform this task.

:hugesmile::dance::hugesmile::hugesmile:

[rachb]

although i've not been offered a job in the kitchen yet BusyBee I've made these for you,I trust they will be to your taste:thumbs:
http://www.platuglen.dk/Kager/07.gif
I do hope you will pass positive comments to the management:thumbs:

[Sticks]

It's a bit quiet in here

http://www.pubmealsreview.co.uk/pubmeals/images/fox&houndsinside01.jpg

I might as well turn in early :sleep:

[Kaz]

Aw, Sticks - don't you know that Boris's Bar never closes? It's open night and day, so that anyone can pop in to have a 'lemonade' and a chat whenever they feel the urge! :thumbs:

So come on in everybody
Boris's Bar is a haven for you
The doors are open and welcome,
Don't be shy - just come on through!

Chief Barmaid Kaz here at your service
To pour your drink and have a chat
So don't be square, join in the fun
This is really where it's at!!!!!

:dazzler: :elephant: :hello: :elephant: :dazzler:

[peachy]

Sticks, the minute you left the place began to really rock. Kaz bought in the Kareoke machine, Maggie gave us her rendition of 'Mustang Sally' and the place was jumping for hours.
Then a band turned up, oh Sticks you must stay longer next time, Boris's Bar is the place to be

[Sticks]

Just popped in and the place is deserted again !!!

http://www.pubmealsreview.co.uk/pubmeals/images/kirkpatricksinside01.jpg

Looks like you have got it ready to cheer the lads on tomorrow in the rugby :thumbs:

[Amy]

I heard someone mention alcohol :shocked: and i rushed over as soon as i found this great new Boris's Bar :thumbs: and whats even better is it NEVER closes
:hello::hello::hello::hello::hello:
I'll be here all day and night !!!

Well heres another round guys, I'm still drowning my sorrows after the All Blacks got beaten by the Wallabies yesterday.

[Sticks]

I'm teetotal by the way, its a pity you can not get Dr Pepper on draft :bawling:

[Boris]

Boris, it would be an honour and a pleasure - of course I accept!


Thank goodness Kaz. I really can't cope what with the 'day' job and moomlighting as a babysitter I really need a trusty hand like you around. SO.... bar manager you are. As for that Lee ... it would seem a I do need an entertainments manager so she is duly enrolled on the workforce.

BTW Sticks I think you must have gone to some other 'BB' by mistake. The first picture you posted WAS correct but the second....well i think someone must have 'spiked' your drink and you took a wrong turning but...

Boris has returned by car,
And now is standing by the bar,
She'll get you what you want to drink,
Just take it easy have a think,
Soft or hard, Sweet or sour,
Trimmed with fruit or even a flower....( Pimms anyone? )
And now to start that

HAPPY HOUR !



:dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazz ler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler:

[Boris]

Evening Mrs.O'Leary.

First one of the 'gang' in tonight since my return.
How did you get on with the pud tasting ? Will you recommend them or not?

I need more staff to help out around here. Delegation is the 'keyword'. It's all getting a bit much !:laugh:

[Boris]

OOOOpps! Sorry Amy it was Busy bee that was food tasting !

I told yu I was 'stressed' !

[Amy]

This is a great bar http://www.kurts-smilies.de/trink4.gif

[kaphc]

So much drinking going on here over the weekend! Now I'm quite jealous myself!!

Anyway, does Boris's bar do food? Only I could murder a bacon sandwich right now! I might even return for a basket of chips at lunchtime.

Yummmm .......!!

[Romantic Old Bird]

As you know, I never let alcohol touch my lips, so I will be only an occasional visitor

http://greywolf.critter.net/images/gallery/animation/angel-anim-rough-t.gif

........so just let me know when the male stripper is on......

[BusyBee]

As you know, I never let alcohol touch my lips, so I will be only an occasional visitor


We'll believe you ROB.

BTW Boris you must have had a freudian slip when you thought Amy was doing the dessert tasting. Got your Mrs O'Leary's mixed up. One's the real thing and one's virtual.

Found a very tasty recipe for Sticky Toffee Pudding over the week-end. Can recommend it for the dessert trolley. Are we having a cordon blue chef to tickle our pallets?

[Amy]

I hope the pub has a cleaner don't want all my empty glasses lying around all day and night *hick*

[BusyBee]

Got a bit bored today after completing my third brief to Counsel of the day so came up with this little Ode hope you like it.

Ode to Boris's Bar

Boris’s Bar is the place to be seen
Its members only; those outside are green
They stand aghast with their nose to the glass
Who are those people inside, they’re having a blast

We sit inside us chosen few
We walk straight in, no hint of a queue
Boris is there to greet her guests
There’s fun to be had with lots of jests

The décor was chosen with plenty of care
With loads of tables and many a chair
There are pictures that cover each and every wall
Of housemates from BBs both short and tall.

There’s everyone who appeared on BB1 to 4
But there’s always space for a few pics more
We have our favourites but all have their space
On the walls of fame they all have their face

We sit and look and reminisce
Do you remember that Mr and Miss
What did you video? Do you still have the tapes?
The laughter, the rows, and all of the japes

The tv/video in the corner is always on
We’re up to BB3 – oh good its gone!
Its time for requests what do you want to see
The most popular extract is what it’ll be

The waiters and waitresses make their merry way
With chips and burgers, be it night and day
A vodka and tonic, a glass of wine
That one’s yours and this is mine.

So Boris’s Bar’s the place to be
It’s open each day from five past three
Its members are varied, the age range wide
New members are welcome, come in don’t hide.

A grand opening should be held with guests galore
Several housemates could come – our spirits would soar
Now who should it be, who should we invite
I know who I’d chose, oh what a night.

But perhaps this bar should be our secret place
For the favoured few with joy on their face
If you love BB you’re welcome here
So come on in and have a beer.

[Boris]

It’s open each day from five past three


Don;t know who gave you the opening hours my dear but we are definately a 24 hour service here....BTW I liked the 'ode' !:laugh:

Now then ,

There's work to do so I must away,
But Kaz is in charge you hear me say,
From break of dawn 'till end of day,
She'll give you 'whatever' if you just pay.....
(Errrr.... I hope you don't misunderstand me !!!!)


We don't come cheap here except at 'Happy hour' !

[Amy]

Noticed the new juke box was delivered today :thumbs:


http://www.happydaysmailorder.co.uk/images_products/265.jpg

[Boris]

Definately time for some music.

Anyone for a bit of 60's nostalgia ?

Whatever you fancy - liberty house here :laugh:

:dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazz ler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler::dazzler:

[kaphc]

Back this morning for my bacon buttie!

Oooh it's getting to be quite an institution already.

This is not going to be taken over and turned into a poxy theme bar is it ? :mad:

J D Wetherspoons on the prowl or is it the Bass chain ? :conf:

[BusyBee]

Talk about nostalgia I went to see the Hollies on Sunday night. And yes I did do a 'bit of singing'. Brought back my youth. Great night out. Themed music nights sound good to me.

[BigSister]

ooh a jukebox. What fun

:dance:

[Boris]

This is not going to be taken over and turned into a poxy theme bar is it ?


Mr. Sticks i would like to point out that I have never had anything to do with things that aare 'poxy'. So there !!!:shocked:

everything i touch is tasteful !

But a 60's night....welll. Who can resist it !

Did you all enjoy 'Happy Hour' tomight?

There doesn;t seem to be much in the till i hope you didn;t 'hold back ' just because I was late.

pressure of work form the 'day ' job don;t you know !

Cheers !:laugh:

[blinkinlovely]

Will you be showing the Wales match on Wednesday??? Come on Johnny Hartson!!

[blinkinlovely]

try again!!!!!!!!!!

[blinkinlovely]

Nope it didn't work!

[BusyBee]

But a 60's night....welll. Who can resist it !


Not me - nothing like the old classics.

Perhaps we could have a special menu e.g. prawn cocktail, steak and chips and Black Forest gateau.

[BigSister]

Yeah great idea Busy Bee:hugesmile:

[Boris]

Will you be showing the Wales match on Wednesday??? Come on Johnny Hartson!!


Poised and ready to go......

I can deny you nothing my customers.:laugh:


http://www.defider.utfsm.cl/sansanos/rugby.png

[Romantic Old Bird]

Good job we're not watching Holland v Scotland tonight..............the Scots are getting soundly thrashed at the mo....

Advocaat and lemonade with a nice glace' cherry please barperson!

Oh, I shouldn't eat those bar nibbles if I were you, you know what they say!

OK, I'm up for a 60's night if you are. Is it Fancy dress? Cos if it is, I've got mine picked out already
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/151/43632.jpg

[Sticks]

so we all dress up as pensioners turned 60 and wave bus passes around :conf:

[James]

:bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

One for each goal we lost.

[blinkinlovely]

It's silent here this morning, as the stragglers mull over the rather upsetting football scores from last night......
:bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling::bawling::bawl ing::bawling::bawling:

Despondency sets in ..........

Even the dragon is too upset to flap his wings.........

[BusyBee]

Let's just hope that England soundly thrash Australia (sorry Skip) at the week-end. That might make up for last night.

I shant be joining the festivities at the bar because OH and son have banned me from watching live. They say I havent watched any of the other matches and England have one - so I will have to make do with listening to the 'comments' being made downstairs.

Well perhaps I could sneak in and stay in the back room doing the washing up, would that count as 'watching' - still mustnt put a jinx on them.

I'll just join in the celebrations afterwards. Think you had better order in several crates of Champers Boris - not the cheap stuff mind - Crystal all round methinks.

[Amy]

Champers sounds like a brilliant idea to me :thumbs:Sounds like your bar's going to be very busy saturday Boris, I promise to behave :hugesmile:

[peachy]

Come on England,

Hope they beat the Aussie's (sorry Skip) Let's all go down to BB to watch it everyone, ok?

[BigSister]

Yeah lets watch the rugby:hugesmile:

[Stowfordpress]

HIC....HIC!!!!!:laugh:

[BusyBee]

Anything special planned for the bar this evening? I'm sitting here all by myself - been deserted by the family who had their evening meal and then had the cheek to disappear - the nerve of it.

So I think I'll pop in for some convivial company with like minded individuals - plus a glass or two of wine would go down well. Anyone going to join me?

[Boris]

HIC....HIC!!!!!


A normal evening for you then Stowford !
I have had your seat by the bar ready and waiting since opening night, but it has taken you a long time to 'drop in'.

Maybe it is the Rugby that has put you off, I seem to remember that cricket is more in your line.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Now, as for the entertainment tonight....Hmmmmmmm! How about a cosy supper for all in the bar. Perhaps a two for one offer would go down well. We do have a new chef in the kitchen.

What do you say everyone ????:laugh:

[blinkinlovely]

Does the new chef do chips?? or chorizo in red wine (a tapas fav!!)

[kaphc]

The chips are great here and I can thoroughly recommend them! Not tried anything like chorizo yet though .... sounds great.

[BusyBee]

We do have a new chef in the kitchen.


Whose this then Boris. I should like to know cos as I shall be helping out in the back room tomorrow whilst the Rugby is on so I cant jinx England I shall be working with this new chef.

Hope its not Jamie Oliver or Gordon Ramsay. Jamie would drive me mad and Gordon would shout at me.

But perhaps there is fish pie on the menu which could only mean that the new chef is .................. :hugesmile::hugesmile:

Now him I could work with. :blush::blush:

[Sticks]

What's that smell of burning and petrol ? :shocked:

[Boris]

Does the new chef do chips?? or chorizo in red wine (a tapas fav!!)


Our chef has a magic touch. He can provide 'whatever' you want and I do mean 'WHATEVER' !


http://www.illusion-engineering.com/images/2wandsweb4.jpg

Orders for food NOW being taken:laugh:

[BusyBee]

Just come back from seeing Love Actually and just in the mood for some food. Where's this chef with the menu. Just fancy a bowl of chips with mayonnaise hope he does those.

BTW Film absolutely brilliant - would recommend it.

[rachb]

Sorry BusyBee I think the chef you are after does spaghetti bolognese tonight as his friday night special :thumbs: I hope thats ok:laugh::laugh::laugh:
I've heard its very nice though:hugesmile:

[blinkinlovely]

Well I am a bit depressed (work stuff) and NEED all this: tea cakes with lashings of butter, spag bol, a bit of carrot cake (the healthy bit), red wine, a flake, ice cream andsome cheese staws.

Can the chefs cope??

[Boris]

Foolish question blinkinlovely. All that and more. The question is........

How do you want it presented?

All on one big plate?

A series of small plates?

With or without cutlery?

Is it for you only or will you share it with a friend so that you can pour out your heart about your problems whist eating? ( I have a friend who lets me do that .... absolutely priceless. I would give her my last Malteser only she is on a diet at the moment and wouldn't eat it !)

Let me know just WHAT you want and I will tell chef.( only toruble is he is watching the RUGBY right now so you might have to wait.
http://www.dailyprobe.com/arcs/012102/chef.jpg

[Amy]

Well, TV blaring in this pub :thumbs: So far so good for England!!! Come on lads you can do it *hick*

CONGRATULATIONS ENGLAND

Sorry I wasnt in the pub been watching it on tv
Very tense however

[James]

I've deleted what I had to say earlier. Sorry for being so green-eyed. lol
Party on.

[Sticks]

I think we need to evacuate the bar, a small fire seems to have broken out in the snug :shocked:








Oh no the chef is doing Christmas pudding flambe

I wondered what the petrol was for :blush:

[BusyBee]

Well I did as ordered by OH and son and kept well away from the TV during the match thus making sure that

ENGLAND WON!

Hope you all enjoyed the sterling work that me and that rather tasty chef of yours Boris did in the kitchen this morning - did you enjoy your full English breakfasts washed down with Bucks Fizz?


He did tell me that he has something very special planned for tonight in celebration - he did mumble something about a very chocolatey, alcoholic cake with an appropriate inscription. Plus champage cocktails.

He will have to manage alone tonight though cos I feel I deserve to be allowed out into the big wide world.

Sorry about the small fire, it was due to 'someone' getting over excited and dropping alcohol on to a naked flame. OHHHHHHHH

[Boris]

on to a naked flame. OHHHHHHHH


A naked WHAT ????

Oh, I missread it.


The party is in full swing now.
how about a round of drinks on


THE HOUSE????

Go down well I think.


http://www.professorharbottle.co.uk/pub/images/drinks.jpg

[Amy]

Another round of drinks *hick* *hick* Still trying to finish of the champers LEE brought earlier............ oh well to the next set of drinks *hick* *hick*

[AndyJK]

/me puts twenty pee in the dukebox, selects Queen's "We Are The Champions" and then sings incoherently while staggering around with a pint of guinness. :shocked:

[Boris]

Just the one pint Andy ?


http://ogilins.members.easyspace.com/images/guiness.jpg

or did that look more familiar?:laugh:

[LEE]

Well it's Saturday night and I have just watched Pop Idol and am celebrating quietly in the corner with a bottle of Chablis.

What could be better, first we win the rugby and then Roxanne gets voted off. :thumbs:

[Amy]

Who do we all think will win Pop Idol?

Another drink please Boris white wine please :thumbs:

[LEE]

I think it will be Sam, but I would prefer it to be Susanne

[BigSister]

I think Sam too Lee

[LEE]

I've never thought much of Sam, but I can understand why people say he is the most obvious Pop Idol out of the remaining contestants.

I thought he sang brilliantly tonight though, second only to Susanne. :thumbs:

[AndyJK]

I'm the featherweight of lightweights when it comes to drink Boris. More than several pints and the vision gets blurry, the legs wobble, the speech undecipherable and lots of hugging strange people I don't know ensues :spin2:. So it's orange and lemonade from now on please barman. 'Hic'.

[AndyJK]

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say Chris will win Pop Idol this year. For several weeks he's put in a bad performance and been criticised by the judges, he has received a high share of the votes cast. He is a very good singer, and obviously the girls like him. In the end it will be between Chris and Sam.

[Boris]

and lots of hugging strange people I don't know ensues .


I am into hugging in a BIG way Andy, so never mind about all that boring stuff, drink what you like and hug away to your hearts content.

As fo 'Pop Idol' I am afraid i have been to busy in the bar to watch it. My bar manager has been conspicuous by her absence and these youngsters who are emplyed to collect and wash glasses keep NOT turning up ! They will lose their jobs soon.

TextDi d you hear that girls ?????:shocked::conf::shocked:

[sweetlittlesara]

I am here reporting for duty Boris :xyxwave: oops wrong thread...but yes I am still here, just tucked away in the corner doing my maths coursework whilst its a bit quiet in here, but dont worry I am still doing my job!!

[LEE]

Well my excuse for watching Pop Idol is that as Entertainments Manager I am always on the lookout for new acts to book :hugesmile:

That's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it lol :laugh:

[Amy]

I'm always to drunk to collect glasses i usually end up dropping them :blush:

[Boris]

We had noticed that Mrs.O'Leary:nono:


http://www.harrison-design.com/images/broken-glasses1.jpg:laugh:

[BusyBee]

And I am there working myself to a frazzle in the kitchen with that rather tasty chef just to keep you lot in snacks to wash down the drink with.

Think I'll go on strike tonight and come out for a tincture or two. Got any Pernod in. I've gone back to drinking Pernod and lemonade rather tasty.

So make a space for me at the bar tonight please.

[Boris]

There will always be room for you to pop out for a moBusy Bee....BUT.... I am a little confused:shocked: I thought you were making 'tasty' morsels for the customers, not testing another type of tasty morsel yourself. I have to say I always found chef a triffle 'stand offish'. You obviously have got something that I do not ! Maybe I can borrow it sometime.

Ready for that break and a quick Pernod now ????

Cheers!

[Sticks]

thought you ought to know

Two gents came inearlier, ordered a round and then proceeded to tip the drinks into some measuring cylinder. They then shook their heads, jotted something down and left.

Me thinks it may have been a spot check by the trading standards and things did not look good :shocked:

[BusyBee]

Sticks it was just a couple of the competition from over the road whose little bar has now gone out of fashion and they wanted to check just what this new watering hole has that they havent.

Well now they know. There's something for everyone in this Bar and always a friendly face.



I have to say I always found chef a triffle 'stand offish'


Boris you just dont know how to 'handle' him - he's a pussy cat really. Think I might need to put in some overtime.

But that Pernod went down a real treat - just what I needed.

[LEE]

But that Pernod went down a real treat - just what I needed.Yuk, horrid stuff.

I'll have a G&T please :hugesmile:

At least I tried to clear up :laugh:

And that's just from the lunch-time Happy Hour!!

[Boris]

Boris you just dont know how to 'handle' him - he's a pussy cat really. Think I might need to put in some overtime.


My track record is NOT what it ought to be BB ! I will have to put in some overtime too I think.:laugh:

Mrs. O'Leary Ithink you had better take up the vacant post of cleaner. I don't think I can afford the cost of new glasswear !

Errrr.... Mr. Sticks Will you please stop making me panic! I know my measures are ok but it really does make my heart skip a beat when I ear about such things. Glad to hear that it was only the disgruntled competition:mad:

Cheers !:dazzler:

[BusyBee]

Think perhaps we might need to have a rota system - all willing volunteers put their name on the list on the bar please.

After all Boris as hostess has to have assistance in the running of such an upmarket bar full of such high class clientele.

[kaphc]

Careful BusyBee, we're starting to sound less like a bar now!!!

Seriously Boris, we can't let you get overworked though ... how about you sit down, put your feet up and we'll bring you a nice long drink?

[Amy]

Mrs. O'Leary Ithink you had better take up the vacant post of cleaner. I don't think I can afford the cost of new glasswear !


Ok i'm ready

:laugh:

[Romantic Old Bird]

Can I apply for the vacant space at the end of the bar? I fancy myself as a 'Norm' type character whom everyone greets with bonhomie as I waddle into the place on a nightly basis.

In this case of course it would be 'ROB!'

Instead of a trusty sidekick called Cliff, I suspect it might have to be some other drunken dim-witted inveterate.

Any volunteers?

[BigSister]

Can I be employed too?
I can only work after 5 and at weekends but I will work hard

[BusyBee]

Any volunteers?


Well I'll definitely be there tonight with a glass of champagne raising a toast to Concorde and warming myself up after hours of standing in the cold to see this beautiful plane.

So keep that stool warm for me please ROB

[Boris]

Can I apply for the vacant space at the end of the bar?


Sorry ROB. I am afraid that that particular space is MINE in between serving the regulars when the bar manager does not turn up which seems to be every day ! She is heading for the 'sack' I am afraid.
You may have the space next to it. Of course everyone can reserve a 'special ' seat at my bar....and yes it is a bar whatever others might be inferring.The 'special' seats can be reserved by buying a season ticket - just like at the football !!! I am always happy to make a ready buck or two:thumbs:

Mrs. O'Leary, you are dressed for the job suggested and may start immediately . Well done that woman.:laugh:

I am ready for a stiff drink myself. Mr. Boris and I bought a sofa to go with the 2 recliner chairs we already had.....nothing is easy. They have not delivered the slightly scuffed one we saw in the showroom as arranged, but a brand new one and it is a different colour. The one we saw was dark navy. The invoice says it is black( that is how dark it looked in the showroom) the one delivered is a brightish French blue. As an 'arty' type person I carry colours well in my head and this is NOT the one I saw even allowing for bad lighting ! I almost GIVE UP !:mad:
Oh well i suppose i could put it in the 'snug' where the chosen few can fight over it !!! LOL:laugh:

Cheers all. Have a good night :spin2:

[Boris]

Any volunteers?


PS..... I think I fill that bill too ROB :shocked:

[BusyBee]

Afternoon all - glad my favourite stool was free for my lunchtime drinkie poo.

Back to work today - cold but the sun is shining - why couldnt it have been like this yesterday when me and OH spent two hours plus standing in the rain and cold. Still that hot toddy I had in THE BAR last night did the trick and warmed the cockles of my heart.

See ya all later.

[Boris]

Glad to hear that my 'special' receipt has the desired effect on the 'cockles of your heart' Busy Bee.

Must admit to being a trifle worried about my livlihood though. You were my only customer today and last night they were pretty thin on the ground. perhaps it was my trying to sell 'season tickets ' for the bar stools. But a gilr does have to earn a living somehow.If things don;t look up I will be bankrupt !!!!!:shocked:
perhaps you could tell your friends about my ''hot toddy'. It is very beneficial on a cold night, a real winter warmer !


http://www.confetti.co.uk/email/g/jerrys/winter_warmers.gif

[BusyBee]

I enjoyed that hot toddy so much I'm back again.

But just a suggestion how about introducing a selection of cocktails - can charge the earth you just put in a couple of umbrellas and a bit of fruit, call it something exotic and rake in the cash.

Any suggestions for names how about

Stuff In the Den:love::love:

[Boris]

Like it Busy bee.

And another could be....

Boris's Bevvy !

Tasty or what.

Can I tempt you to a bar meal tonight? I can do you a cut price one. Chef made lots of preparations and no one has been in to eat yet .

[Sticks]

OH NO ITS A POLICE RAID!!!! :shocked:

Some anonymous person has reported this bar a a den of drug dealing and gun running.

We are all going to have to be fingerprinted

I only came in for a half of lemonade.

[kaphc]

Well I'm back here this morning, and no sign of any disturbances! The coast must be clear.

Hmmm ... think I'll settle down in the corner with my bacon buttie!

[Sticks]

Uh oh

look at the notice on the door

PREMISES CLOSED BY ORDER OF EXAMINING MAGISTRATE
An emergency temporary closure order has been authorised due to suspected illegal activities. All licences are hereby revoked. Interested parties can make submissions to the examining magistrate at the appropriate time. This will be announced fourteen days prior to the hearing.




Any ideas ?

[Boris]

Any ideas ?


Think that half of lemonade has gone to your head sticks. You have been 'sticker posting' instead of 'thread posting'. I recognise your style in that poster. !!!!:laugh:

We are not a 'den of iniquity'. We are a reputable company. In fact we do not have a 'den' but a 'snug' !

If anyone else hears 'tittle tattle and rumour' please let me know.Methinks it has been listened to before at another time !!!lol
:laugh:

[LEE]

Well it's a relief to see this place open again :thumbs: though I don't think the word has quite got around yet as its a bit quiet.

I think this is the ideal opportunity for me to offer to buy everyone in here a drink.

Cheap round :thumbs:

[AndyJK]

I only come in for my coke and pork scratchings, honest guv' :laugh:. Boris, perhaps you should hire a bouncer to keep potential troublemakers out. :xyxwave:

[Sticks]

Just bringing all the coffee stuff in.

Had a thought, while in the Borris Bar, we could offer "Irish Coffee" and Coffee liqueurs in the evening :dance:

[BigSister]

Yummy mince Pie:hugesmile:
Although I dont like coffee I will still be visting
I might pop on tonight to catch the reactions to Pop Idol

[LEE]

Glad to see we have Pop Idol on in here :thumbs:

What better way to spend a Saturday evening :hugesmile:

[Boris]

Those of us in the 'snug' will not be watching Pop Idol !!!! In fact we are testing the 'Irish coffee' that sticks made us earlier. You should try it LEE. Mind you it is more expensive than that 'round' you bought earlier. Don't think you had to spend more than 50p LOL:laugh:

[Sticks]

Someone at a Christmas Farmers market, where I was getting supplies today suggested Rum or Brandy in coffee. Due to metabolic reasons I can not indulge in alcohol :bawling: so anyone willing to be guinie pigs so we can "develop" a new range of coffee liqueurs ?

I was sussing out the competition today at Starbucks (See attached image),where they are doing a coffee and mint, with cream and chocolate topping. So I need to get cracking on that side of things.

If only I had thought to pick up some Christmas pudding coffee :blush:

[LEE]

Well I did buy myself a drink and it certainly cost a lot more than 50p lol, and I'll join you for an Irish Coffee shortly when the final contestant has sung, see you shortly. :thumbs:

[LEE]

Just seen your last post Sticks - I LOVE Brandy in coffee so I will definintely offer to test-taste one of these for you :thumbs: I may have to taste a few before I can give you a definitive opinion though :laugh:

[peachy]

I'm a real Dry Martini woman myself.

Could you get me a nice one or three Boris please?

I've had a hard week and what could be nicer to relax with at the end of your bar on a Saturday night

[Boris]

I'll line them up for you old friend.....

How many olives do you like?

3 a piece I'll be bound !

:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[peachy]

oh I love olives, tell me Boris do you have olives on the bar and little tapas and nibbles. I love all those tempting little fattening things. Mind you I went right off salted peanuts after someone told me that guys in bars go to the loo, never wash their hands and then grab a handful of peanuts, yuk, how disgusting is that?

[LEE]

Olives

yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk

I think you get the idea lol

[Boris]

We do LEE...thank you !!!

Now about the nibbles on the bar.
In my other life I am used to checking the hands of 'small' boys . I can tell at 10 paces if soap has been used.Therefore I can ussure you that chef ALWAYS washes his hands in a very thorough manner. he prepares all the little goodoes for us and has such a delightful way if presenting then all. Do you like his latest???
I really think that banana and anchovies on toast is a rare treat !

[blinkinlovely]

Brandy in coffee - one of my favs too

as for nibbles, well can I request cheese straws and walnuts??????? (not together, just a co-incidence)

[Boris]

Bit of a mess in here after all those nibbles last night.

Hope Busy Bee comes in soon with her mop and bucket to clean up !!!!:laugh:


http://www.masterplumbers.com/plumbviews/images/mop_bucket.gif

[Amy]

One larger please :spin2:
I have finished cleaning the loo's :bawling: actually maybe a brandy would be better after cleaning the loo's :laugh:

[BusyBee]

Sorry to have been a bit derelict in my duties Boris. Glad to hear chef has been able to cope without my kind assistance.

Been a bit poorly - touch of this fluey bug thats going around, but feeling a bit more like my stripey self today. :bawling::bawling:

And dont you worrry about Sticks and his licence. I spoke to the clerk to the licences only the other day and he told me how impressed he was with this new high class drinking establishment. Said the Manageress was a bit of a tyrant but has a heart of gold and as for the customers - they couldnt be beaten. It is one of the most well run places he has come across. Always changing its menu and offering just what customers want.

Could we have Tia Maria in our coffees as well pretty please.:hugesmile:

[Boris]

Busy bee, for helping out Mrs. O'Leary with the cleaning you can have Tia Maria in anything you like....as long as you don't make me have any - I hate it !

About the licnece and the good vibes, thank you for letting us know all about them though I am not sure who the comment abiout 'Tyrant' was aout. Certainly not MOI ! I am a sweet little pussy cat !!!:laugh:


http://www.freehandsource.com/_images/_tips/antialiased/antialiased01.gif

You recognise me of course.... I am the one....well you know !:spin2:

Who wants a game of 'Name that Beer Bottle'?

http://www.chilliman.com/beer_labels_frame.htm

Lightweight that I am only got 2 out of 10.

:hugesmile:

[Boris]

Evening James... Your usual ??

Coming up now .

Cheers !:laugh:

[LEE]

I'm in my usual corner of the bar near the TV, watching the snooker this time.

Come on Matthew Stevens, you can do it. :thumbs:

A pint of Stella please Boris - yes I did say a pint lol, I'm not pretending to be sophisticated tonight :hugesmile:

[LEE]

Well this is just typical - I want to throw a 4,000 posts party and there's no-one here :bawling:

[James]

I'm here, though I'm a bit busy for a party, or meant to be... :hugesmile:

well done

[LEE]

Thanks for the banner James, and you must at least stay and have one drink with me. :hugesmile:

I'm also celebrating cos Matthews Stevens has just won :dance::dance::dance:

[sweetlittlesara]

I am here, I have just been weeping my eyes out watching "when a man loves a woman" :bawling::bawling::bawling:

Could use a drink, but i feel alcohol would not be in taste after that plus I am underage :laugh::laugh::laugh: so a coke for me :thumbs:

[kaphc]

A bit belated now, but congratulations on 4,000 posts Lee!!

:hello::hello::hello::hello::hello::hello:

[peachy]

Wow, Lee, 4,000 posts, what an achievement. Please don't look at my meagre total or you'll be banning me for Boris's Bar for being a lightweight.

PS. Hope the house move is still gonig ahead OK?

[BusyBee]

WOW - 4,000 POSTS

CONGRATULATIONS LEE WHAT AN ACHIEVEMENT

and to celebrate I have just delivered a selection of home made muffins for distribution at the bar to anyone who fancies a coffee this rainy afternoon. If you put them in 'Tupperware' they should keep for a while. There's blueberry, chocolate chip, cherry and lemon so something for everyone's tastes.

Off to have a long soak in the bath now to prepare myself for back to work tomorrow. Oh how I dread seeing my desk will have to call in later for something to prepare me so keep my stool warm please Boris.

[BigSister]

Sorry i wasnt in last night, went to see "Love Actually"
And congratulations on 4000 posts Lee:thumbs:

[Sticks]

Just processing some Blue Mountain as a special coffee to celebrate :dance:

[LEE]

Ooh thanks Sticks :hugesmile: I think I'll have one of BusyBee's Blueberry Muffins as well. :thumbs:

[Boris]

WOW LEE!

I am so impressed...and late too !

You may , of course , have any drink on the house, A meal of your choice and coffee with brandy to follow. ( I happen to remember that you have a liking for it)
AND....... I will NOT make you washup afterwards.


ENJOY !:spin2:

[BusyBee]

Did you enjoy Love Actually Big Sister - I loved it, but it seems to be a film you either love or hate.

Glad to see you kept my seat free Boris. Seems a bit quiet tonight - perhaps you should do a Happy Hour. Whilst I'm here I'll have a pint of Stella cos I'm feeling a bit thirsty and a packet of pork scratchings please.

[LEE]

Just popped in for a coffee and a bit of late lunch. It's very quiet in here today, still it's nice to have a bit of a rest and a peaceful read of the paper so thats fine by me :thumbs:

[kaphc]

Phew! Nice to come in here and have a sit down for a change.

I've had such a hectic 48 hours, which started with finding out that my 11-month old daughter has bronchitis, learned that we have exchanged contracts and are definitely moving house on the 17th December and then have been in an assessment day to recruit for a new person to replace me in my job!

So I think a good strong coffee and a bar of chocolate are in order at this point! <where's the icon for exhausted?!> :sleep::sleep:

[LEE]

Ooh congrats on the move date Kaph, you're seems to be going a little more smoothly than mine. Myself and my buyer both desperately want to move before Christmas, but the people at the bottom of the chain are digging their heals in and are saying they are not moving before January full stop. :mad:

We're still hoping to exchange this week, but I don't think I am actually going to be able to move until the New Year now - 8th Jan is the date being bandied around at present.

Still I suppose it does give me chance to do a few things to the house before I move as it is empty at the mo and I can have keys as soon as we exchange so at least I will have time to get it re-carpeted etc etc - I was looking forward to being up there for Christmas though but it is not to be.

[kaphc]

Isn't it just such a pain having to rely on other people when you're moving house?! Still 8th Jan doesn't sound too bad - new year, new house!

:wavey::wavey:

[BigSister]

Busy Bee I did enjoy Love Actually- I would go and see it again:thumbs:

[LEE]

:wavey::wavey:
I know, the trouble is I have budgetted down to the nth degree and it all worked perfectly up to the end of December, having it go on into January has screwed up the cashflow and its a real pain. I have absolutely NO MONEY whatsoever for christmas because of this and it's soooooo annoying.

Still, at least it is all happening this time.

[BusyBee]

It must be catching these house moving problems - the chap who has the office next door is also having problems desperate to move before Christmas but his buyer is having problems with finance so no go. He's got a little one too so they dont know what is happening for Christmas - they packed all his pressies away for the move and now it looks like they will have to get it out.

Never mind just think of all the Christmas parties we can have in Boris's which will take your mind off things. We could invite a few guests along just to make things go with a whirl. And just think of New Year's Eve in our own little bar - arent we spoilt. You'll soon forget the house move.

PS Glad you loved Love Actually Big Sister - I've already decided to get it when it comes out on DVD. I thought Bill Nighy was absolutely stonking.

[BigSister]

Busy bee i might get it on DVD as well

[Boris]

Poor LEE.

As a veteran 'mover' ( but not necesarily groover I am in my 9th house.....! ) I sypathyse with you to the Nth degree !!!

There is absolutely nothing worse than moving house and being reliant on other people.

Fingers crossed for it all to go well ASAP.

Now about that 'happy Hour'


HERE IT COMES......HO HO HO !:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

CHEERS!

[BusyBee]

And Cheers to You Boris.

Just had one of chef's specials - rather tasty. Think I'll just have a Bacardi and Coke to wash it down. First day back at work deserves a treat. All those clients expecting moi to know what has been going on when I have been in my poorly sick bed. What do they think I am psychic.

:nono::nono:

Another one please Boris - I think I might drink you dry tonight. Anyone care to join me.

[LEE]

Anyone care to join me. If you twist my arm BusyBee :laugh:

[blinkinlovely]

red wine for me please!!!


PS I love Bill Nighy!! Haven't seen Love Actually yet... worth the while???:conf:

[Amy]

Congratulations LEE :hello: 4000 posts :shocked: have a bit of a way to go before i catch you up :laugh:
Noticed there was a party for your 4000 posts, sorry i missed that :bawling: but just look at the mess you have all left for me :nono: well back to my cleaning duties !!

[BusyBee]

Haven't seen Love Actually yet... worth the while???


Well me and Big Sister loved it blinkinlovely if that is a recommendation:hugesmile::hugesmile:

Just calling in on my way home tonight. Flipping heck its just not worth being off feeling poorly - I havent stopped since I got back - lunch hour? what's one of them.

Think I need a very large pick me up served from the lovely Boris.

[Sticks]

I think you are going to need a stiff one when you see what they are demanding on the business rate from next year. :shocked::mad:

[BusyBee]

I'm sure there's a rebate Boris can apply for however much the rates go up = after all she is offering an essential service to a very important section of society - the TIBB Barmy Army need a nice, homely, friendly bar in which to relax and where better than here. Otherwise the Town Hall may find itself the subject of an invasion of an irate section of society - after all there are still some TIBB banners around and we can make up a few more. The Army will declare war and there can be only one outcome.

We will fight them on the Town Hall steps, we will fight them in the Council Chamber, we will fight them in the streets - we will win - no-one comes between the Army and their Bar.

Oh dear I better go and sit down with a large glass of something.

[BigSister]

Hear Hear Busy Bee:thumbs:

This morning we had a brief visit from the local chapter of Hells Angels :shocked:

They were really polite and enjoyed the Caffe Lates and the new bacon egg and mushroom paninis. They said they may drop in sometime for their Winter Solstice party and asked if they could book a function room.

It seems we are getting a reputation as the only bar that doubles up as a coffee house as well :dance:

[BusyBee]

A visit from Hells Angels - who next?

Just goes to show what happens when an establishment such as Boris's Bar opens - word soon gets around.

Maybe that we will have to make it a members only Club - cant have our regulars being turned away cos its full.

Would you like some more of my muffins for morning coffees?

Will be in for my restorative glass of wine later.

[Sticks]

Chocolate chip muffins and blueberry muffins please - they seem a great seller

Some of the Hells angels were back and they seem like a nice crowd. All keen on Cafe Latte and Expresso. I am now waiting for a brochure on paper cups so we can do take-away coffee and sandwiches Anyone want to submit a design :dance:

In 'Boris's Bar' you can have anything you like including 'pork scratching' flavoured ice cream ! And Please Mr. Sticks, stop whining !!!!!:laugh:


This is a fantasy world where ANYTHING can happen !!!!


http://www.animetionink.com/images/portfolio/fantasy-fs.jpg

This is a 'Government Warning'...Be very careful what you type into 'Google image' to get pictures. Fantasy brings up ALLSORTS !:laugh:

[BusyBee]

If you need pork scratchings Boris - I have a very good contact, my local butcher does the best pork scratchings in the world and only 45p for a huge packet. I could probably do a deal for you.

Been Christmas shopping today so need a very large glass of white wine.

BTW how about putting mulled wine on the menu.

[Boris]

Thanks Busy Bee I;ll leave you to sort out the deal and a large white coming up !

As I have done NO Christmas shopping yet this year I will need a whole bottle of something to get me going....any suggestions ....bu t NOT the dreaded Sanatogen - please


http://www.jamaicaplace.com/images/products/JP-00486.jpg:laugh:

[Boris]

Couldn't face the mess in the bar this am so went for a swim...another mile clocked up . THEN I went shopping.

I did not get any of the presents that I wanted to get . :shocked:

[BusyBee]

Just come back from visiting mother and mother-in-law with a HUGE list of things to get for them if I happen to pop into town. They both know me too well cos they both said "I know you wont mind and you pick such perfect presents". Talk about creeping. Still dont mind as I love spending other people's money.

Be in for a pre-shopping drink later - have got the day off tomorrow so will be doing my daughterly duty then.

[Sticks]

The specialist teas have arrived to augment the coffee bar :dance:

Earl Grey
DaJeeling
Gun Powder

Will someone be around tomorrow when we get a prospective sandwich supplier visiting ? Make sure that they have in their selection sandwhiches without mayonaise !!!

[Boris]

they have in their selection sandwhiches without mayonaise !!!


WHY ?


lol


:laugh:

[Sticks]

I don't like mayonaise

[blinkinlovely]

[i]Will someone be around tomorrow when we get a prospective sandwich supplier visiting ? Make sure that they have in their selection sandwhiches without mayonaise !!!

Agree totally , Sticks - are you a mayo-free person too???

When I passed through Stansted airport recently, total shock to discover that not one mayo free sarnie was available for purchase in the last store before boarding (Starbuck, I think). A disgrace - all I want is ham/cheese/salad without mayo/mustard/coleslaw etc etc

Sorry .. rant over

red wine please:sleep:

[Boris]

Some people have definately strange eating habits!


http://www.youngsfood.com/products/french/mayonnaise/mayonnaise.jpg

Must try this one :laugh:

[BusyBee]

I love mayonnaise.

One large portion of chips and mayonnaise please plus a pint of lager to wash it down.

Can we also have a selection of different types of mustard please for our sandwiches and snacks. I am a mustard freak, Dijon, French, English, Grain, Horseradish, etc etc. MMMMMM

[Boris]

Your wish is MY comand.....and boy has that got me into trouble a time or two!!!!



only joking !

Mustard coming up !

I'Ve been in the minority for too long ...............

[BusyBee]

I HATE MAYONNAISE/COLESLAW/KETHUP ETC ETC


One thing about Boris's Bar is she never lets us down - with all our food choices - however mad they may seem.

And lets face it if we were all the same how boring it would be. Variety is the spice of life is what I say.:hugesmile:

[Sticks]

Limps in looking as though gone through a few rounds with Mike Tyson

Excuse the mess, but a couple of skinheads pushed in when the coffee bar was opened and stole the takings from the night before. As it was a slow night last night the takings were not what they were expecting and hence got up set.

One mentioned that this would not have happened if the protection fee had been paid.

Any clues ?

[Boris]

Oh sticks, I do hope you are feeling better now!

What a thing to happen to a gentle soul like you.
Chin up !!!!:love:

[Stowfordpress]

Suggest you 'stick' to proper bars and the 'protection' of the locals, sticks! Lots of safety here!!:xyxwave:

Oh dear Sticks hope you are feeling better.

How dare they! I will arrange for the local criminal fraternity to have a word with this lot and put them straight. We will also arrange for them to be blacklisted with the local solicitors so they wont be defended when they are apprehended.

You do not cross a member of TIBB and get away with it.:hugesmile::hugesmile:

That's a new flavour Ice Cream! I'll give it a try though. I might like it and who knows it might take off and you could get in touch with Walls to tell them of your discovery. :laugh:

Very rainy at the moment today again, yuk yuk!

When I had it at Starbucks that one time, I quite liked it, plus there was real chocolate on the top. Originally I thought it was a coffee until I saw the sign again :blush:

I still can not find any Maple - Pecan Danishs', I have tried Starbucks and Costa Coffee :bawling:

[BusyBee]

Are we having a pre Pop Idol final celebration this evening? Perhaps we could invite Darius in to entertain us after his appearance on the show. Baggsie me front seat please.

[BigSister]

Good Night !

Oh I see Darius did turn up after all !:laugh:

[BusyBee]

All I can say Boris is that we did not let the good name of your establishment down! In fact if I should not be surprised if a few famous faces start turning up once the word is passed around by a certain tall, dark gentleman.

[Boris]

We have more to offer than just the 'odd' famous name...! LOL

Companionship, fun and frolics....but all in the best possible taste.

NOW WHERE have I heard that before ???



:laugh:

[Sticks]

Not to mention Cafe Latte, Cappuchino and now a fin selection of syrup flavours. :dance:

Still no luck on the Oreos :bawling:

[Boris]

We will have to import them from the States !
:laugh:

[LEE]

They sell Oreos in my local Sainsburys lol, I'll go buy a bulk load before I move from civilisation up to the frozen north :hugesmile:

[Boris]

And the Myth is perpetuated......

There is civilisation beyond Watford Gap you know LEE !!!!lol

But please feel free to supply us. It will be easier that any other supplier I am sure .

:shocked::laugh::shocked::laugh::shocked::laugh:

[peachy]

I've bought Oreo's from my local Sainsbury's several times, and guess what, I live in Staffs!!

However, I'm not allowed to eat them now, I'm on a diet and Boris is keeping me on the straight and narrow. I've lost 3 and a half stones so far. so no more Oreo's for me:bawling:

[Sticks]

Looks like, when I can I will have to make tracks to the only Sainsbury I know of up here in the Hinterlands, that in Washington Tyne & Wear :shocked:

Does Sainsbury's do online shopping ?:conf:

[Sticks]

BTW I got a new cafetiere for single cups as my current one broke at the knob where you pull the plunger up.

See attached.

I also bought some Irish Cream coffee so I could see what Irish coffee is supposed to taste like, being a teetotaler.

[BusyBee]

Talking about Irish Cream has anyone tried Baileys Glider. Goes down a realy treat and you can drink more of it than the real thing. Or at least I can!!!!

Sorry sticks ....BUT I just have to respond to that bit of information !!!!

It is not nice if you have trouble with your 'plunger'......:blush:

SORRY, but I just had to !LOL LOL LOL :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Sticks]

Being a total innocent I had no idea I had committed the faux pas of a double entendre :shocked::blush:

It makes one paranoid at how one can be misconstrued :shocked:

I found another coffee maker (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=1001&productId=53525&Trail=C$cip=8270&categoryId=8270) that I would love to get. Then I could make hot steaming frothy cappuchinos all by my self. :dance:

[BusyBee]

Sticks you are getting to be a bit obsessed about this coffee thing. I am getting quite worried. Have these Hells Angels been turning your head.
