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

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?

And this Boris a 'she' you say. Must be a very interesting woman.

Oh she is Duchess and a formidable one at that. But what a hostess she can be and so devoted to her bar and its clientele. There's not another one like her.:thumbs::thumbs:

Oh Busy Bee, what a recomendation. I didn't know I was so valued. Thank you SOOOOO much !

Sorry I have been neglecting my duties one and all. I have been very busy and also suffering with my back which causes trouble from time to time.

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:

Oh dear! :bawling:

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

Say when! :thumbs:

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

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

:joker:

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:

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, if you've not read the Aaaaaarghhhhh!!!!!! thread already!!

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.

Oh hell, LEE - after the time you've had . . . . . . have the whole bottle! :thumbs:

http://www.dutyfree.ca/product_images/003173080887.jpg

It's on me! :love:

How's the head today Lee??

I would like to announce that I have taken the pledge.

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:

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!!

Point of information

I have been teetotal for years

Why do you think I run the coffee bar

NO B&B sticks......

Boris has the better idea! LOL:colour:

Thanks Kaz, trouble is I already did that - well it seemed like that anyway lol - at the CD recording before christmas and I swore I would NEVER drink that much JD EVER again lol. I blame Mr Hadley, I had never tried the stuff until I met him.

I will however definitely take you up on the offer of a couple of doubles lol hic

Considerably better than the morning after the aformentioned occasion :blush:

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)

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:

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

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:

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.

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:

How are you at doing the chambermaid stuff ?

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


http://www.scsc.k12.ar.us/2000backea....jpg_small.jpg

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

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!
