    Harrumph!

    I come in here after a hard day running the Empire, looking forward to some Jovial banter with the chaps, and what do I find? Females discussing make-up!

    LOL! Worry not sir, it was just a slight diversion. It wouldn't be happening again. I'm not very fond of the stuff anyways. Would you care for a cup of coffee? A newspaper and some biscuits maybe? Or perhaps some brandy? Let me take your coat and hat and show you to your usual seat.

    And Mr. Bean, men can be as vain as women. I know of a guy (yes, he's straight) who's had more beauty products than I do! I mean he's got everything! Lotion, moisturizer, hair care products, cologne, etc... Made me jealous...QUOTE]

    Whatever you do, don't tell him about this thread. I dont think he would contribute to the manly mood that currently prevails among the blokes.

    The doorman is trained spot those types at 100' and they will be advised that the place they're looking for is not this one.

    You must have the wrong establishment.

    Always happens when Parker's away.

    It was his annual leave day yesterday and I've already spoken to him this morning.

    He just cannot find a suitable Aide de Commissionaire at the moment. He has already sacked the doorman and has a new man in place this morning.

    Should be fine now.

    Ah, yes. When I was a martini drinker, I used to keep both gin and vermouth in the deepest part of the icebox, along with the glasses and shaker.

    For me, a properly made martini should be served at about -4 deg C.

    I had four at lunchtime once - we won't go into that right now!

    I doubt we'll see him, although it's always great to see new chaps, so we can introduce them to the finer points of English club sports. That last chap who arrived unexpectedly and was encouraged to have a go at "Holding the dartboard" was most excellent fun!

    Is espionage necessary ?

    Wait until there is a spider in the bath, they'll be begging us to go over and sort it.



    What are they talking about by the way?

    There is story going round that two of our members have been seen in the women's coffee group recently.
    Another rumour is that some of the younger US members want to install a juke box in the speakeasy, which doesn't augur well for the relaxed atmosphere required by those who prefer the dulcet tones of the string quartet in the main lounge.
    The next thing you know will be pork scratchings among the nibbles placed on the bar counter for the delectation of members and the introduction of Newcastle brown ale on the drinks list.

    No, that's no good at all.

    This is a men's club, and while the occasional visit from a member of the fairer sex for the purpose of admiring the oak panels is no problem at all, it is most certainly not the done thing to discuss women's issues.

    Many women have issues, and a room full of them usually has more issues than The Times' archives.

    We do not need them in here.

    There are clubs which have women's areas. Luckily, this is not one of them.

    Yes, Parker mentioned he'd had to rummage around and find the black balls.

    I do trust they're not needed. 1962 was the last occasion apparently.

    It's one of those thin edge of the wedge movements.

    First a juke box, then women, then young men in white suits, then young men wearing those American caps backwards with their trousers halfway down.

    Not bloody likely!

    This, I feel is a little unfair.

    While we want to preserve class, we certainly don't want any class distinction, and while raving Geordies mightn't be everyone's cup of tea, neither are Brummies, Scousers, Micks, Taffies, Chelsea supporters and Jocks!

    Plus, my dear old mum was a scratching girl. I'd rather eat a dead mouse myself, but each to their own.
