Bill & Charlie's Bar

[bill-xxx]

Hello to all our old friends and newcomers alike. Welcome to Bill & Charlie's Bar - the place to meet other posters and to sit and chat while you sample your favourite tipple. Plenty to drink, lots of joking but alas no smoking.

We are open all hours (hic) and run a respectable Bar. (Although I argued with Charlie until I was blue in the face over that one!) No swearing, spitting or drun..drunk...drunken beeeehaviour (hic). We have a couple of bouncers to hand ~ she comes in on Friday nights.

Teetotallers are welcome and will be treated as normal. I jest ~ soft drinks are available at the bar along with light snacks. And finally, please use the emergency exit when Bill rambles on about the good ol' days and put plugs in your ears when Charlie 'sings'.

Come on in...:-D

What a nail-biter the Jo & Novak match is, Charlie. When you think it's all over, Jo comes bouncing back!

Andy's got a bit of a wait now. Probably nipped out to do a bit of shopping :^O

And how about a new name for Wimbledon?

Wimblosovich? ~ to match most of the player's names. :^O

Orf to make a cuppavich ha! 😄

Congratulations on your daughter's achievements. You must be very proud of her.

See you later...:-)

Goodness!  What a match!  I'm exhausted just watching them both leap about the place.  Keep thinking it's all about to be over ... and then Tsonga gets inspiration and they are off again. :^O

Lovely sandwich, Bill.

*waves to Harry doing the ironing*

Well that didn't take as long as I thought! :^O Tsonga is out, but what a player he is, and the crowds love him, don't they?

Glad the sandwich went down well, Caution :-x

[**caution**opinion_ahead]

I loved it when they were both flat on the ground on their respective sides of the net! :^O

A ploy for getting your breath back, I feel! 😉

What a match! Novak should have closed it at 3 sets but Jo had other ideas! A real nail biter, yes Bill!

Hey Harry!

Great news about your daughter~ well done to her she must have worked really hard! And that is good news about your house.....:-x

You're lucky...seems like the landlord is suffering from techy problems!:^O

Off now to see if Andy can do a "Novak"!

Caution, will you please leave some of those tuna sandwiches for me? :_|

:^O

[**caution**opinion_ahead]

They are a bit curly at the edges now, Charlie.  I will send Bill to make you some fresh ones.

Oh, Billlllllllll, you are needed.  Stop whinging about your techie problems and get Charlie some sustenance for the next nail-biter. 😛

Evening everyone, Murray is not doing so well at the mo, maye to many peanut sarnies today.

Was behind some one in the queue at tescos earlier, and they had loads of rich expensive food on the conveyor line, rich yogurt drinks, cakes, 5 different types of bread, GOATS cheese, blue cheese and some mexicana cheese, to to end it all off afer all that one packet of Rennie's, had to laugh thought yeah your going to need those after all that lot.:^O

Well have sent message to Hubby with a picture of that lovely house, told  him to arrange a viewing, I have 6 months on visa time to move over there, if I do not do it in that time with him and children, then I will have to apply in my own right, and that will be difficult.

So to help me decide on which way to go, I think a bottle of white Jacobs Creek wine will be required, it is gonna be an all nighter:^O

Actually, the drinks are on me all night everyone so drink up and fill up and have a smashing time.

[skyfly2112]

Wow! didn't expect to be drinking on my all night, what has happened to everyone, what aren't you telling meX-(

Thought the chance of a free drink would have had the place heaving.

[bill-xxx]

Good morning, Lin :-x

I am here now but have to nip orf for breakfast in a mo. Will be around on 'n' orf during the day though. Meanwhile, help yourself to a drink and whatever else you want.

My pyjama cord is in a knot and I have to undo it before the milkman arrives. 😮

BFN xx

Hello Margaret :-x

I rather like that pic and will consider hanging it in the Bar Gallery. A painting of our Cheryl will attract the customers and Embsie will be first in the queue! 😄

Can I get you your usual bucket of gin? :^O

Have a nice day...:-D

[margaret*e]

Embsie will be first in the queue!

Well you have to expect SOME disadvantages.:^O

Painted by my daughter.

Yes, that would be very nice as it's so hot today.:-D

I will, I'm going to take the dogs to the beach if

miseryguts my dear husband will go.:-D

[bill-xxx]

Embsie will be first in the queue!

Well you have to expect SOME disadvantages.

:^O

Mind you, we will have to make it a 'drinks on the house night' to get him in here! :^O  Last time he broke came in he nicked the antique bell from the Bar! 😮

BTW, did your daughter really paint that picture?

Good luck with miseryguts your dear husband. Kick sand in his face if he complains! :O:^O

Brit, Liam Broady, lost the Boys' Final to Luke Saville, an Australian. Liam walked the first set and seemed on the road to win. But he now joins Henman and Murray as we say...maybe next year...:-(

[**caution**opinion_ahead]

Aww, don't write him off, Bill.  He is only 17.

[bill-xxx]

Aww, don't write him off, Bill.  He is only 17.

Oh, definitely not writing him off, Caution. Just hoping it will be next year for him...:-)
