Title: BARMAN IS UNWELL
Post by: Barman on July 05, 2007, 02:29:39 PM
Dear All

This is Mrs. Barman here (yes I do exist  lol:) posting to let you all know that unfortunately your much loved (???) Barman will be off line for probably the next week as I have this morning had to take him to see his own Dr. Who (real name Dr. Costas) because his nasty chest infection is getting worse!
Due to him (Barman that is) now being totally exhausted and run down with hack hack hacking for the past week (and him a non smoker too!) and the mega antibiotics having now affect he was admitted to our nice local hospital and is now hooked up to his own intravenous drugs.....

Hopefully he will make a smooth recovery now and who knows enger a new man (ha ha)

Sadly the hospital doesn't have Internet access (so he'll have to go cold turkey from his daily pub fix  sad24:) but I'm sure you will all make sure that everything runs smoothly in his absence...

If I can work out hos this pub posting thing works (duh I am slightly blond  scared2:) I will give regular updates
So for now
Bye Bye from
Mrs. Barman  razz:

Hi,
GROWLER is just having a little lie down as he's exhausted bless him, but he has asked me to pass on his best wishes to Mr Barman for a very speedy and full recovery.

Any chance we could smuggle in a firkin of Bishops Finger for him? Do him a sight more good than a bunch of grapes will.

GWS Barman - the place isn't the same without you!

Thank you Mrs Barman for letting us know what has happened to poor old Barman...   sad24:

We probably wouldn't have noticed for a week or two...  point:


Um... how much of these forum archives have you read... Exactly?      scared2:

Should I send a nice kitten for him to cuddle and stroke?

oh....  And can I have (what's left of) his homebrew please?   whistle:

I'm not sure how well Mrs Barman navigates this site. She actually posted this in the Doctor Who thread (which was at the time the one that came up first) I moved it and made it a sticky.
Hopefully by doing so she will find it easy to locate, read and pass onto the old boy.
As for her "Bit of a blonde" statement ..... somehow I very much doubt it.
Hair colour maybe but she sure knew how to throw those emoticons around.

Dear Valued Pub Attendees

Latest medical update on Barman is that all is much improved! He is looking much more rested and relaxed - must be the DRUGS!
I think he was quite amazed (and scared) that I'd violated his PC to send you all a status msg on his progress but I will play fair and not dig back into previous posts because after all what the isnt known isnt fretted over  noooo:
As for am I nice or not well of course I am otherwsie how would I have kept a hunk like the Barman interested for all these years (pass the bucket) and am I blond well yes but natural or not (that is ANOTHER question) and the colour of my underwear (you sad but nice old gits) its generally white or black (thong or lacy boxer) ....... so happy now  ::)
BarWench particulalry is hereby authoirsed as deputy head honcho.......so keep them all in order!
Reason for his malise - unkown at present - could have been the hubbly bubbly the previous week or the goat rescuing (sure he told you about that  eeek: - didnt he?)
Wont need the Kitten - thanks Snoopy and Bouncer - he actually has a passion for my female gyni lady who works from the same clinic - I think she's more interested in his bits than mine and OF COURSE he loves it so I have taken him in his 'lucky' underpants he case he does get lucky....
Bye for now
Love from Mrs Barman

Title: Re: BARMAN IS UNWELL
Post by: Barman on July 05, 2007, 09:46:37 PM
Poles handle what -vaulting? - or what what?
Join up myself BarWench I dont think that's allowed  cry:
Barmans secret world down in his cavernous basement is his own (scary perhaps but true)
I have heard so many good things from himself about this new brave virutal world and the previous (dare I mention it GOM virutal world - ahhhhh  scared2:) that I wouldnt DARE to intrude on regular basis!!!
Plus although I can use the emoticons (well what stuipd phutz cant?) I'm not a natural around this technology and because (get ready for the cheesy bit here) I know the Barman does enjoy his own time in the virtual arena so much I dont want to step in on his parade.....Its his world and yours not mine.
Anyway off to bed for now - got to take the dog to the vet's tomorrow morning as he has a manky ear (ugh!) -
Note to all DO get Barman to tell you about the goat rescue from the swimming pool the other night, quite amusing, over here they are obviously an endangered species as we'll bar=b=q anything!
Night night
Mrs. Barman

If our dear barman is unwell and hospitalised then we should all raise our glasses and wish him health, on the house.

I shall be happy to dispense free drinks to you all until he returns.

The less trusting side of me wonders at the sequence of events unfolding:

1. Barman refers to feeling unwell for a few days.
2. Barman goes into hospital.
3. "Mrs Barman" appears and writes messages to a similar, or higher, intelectual standard than Barman.

Do we have a covert surgical release of the 'inner woman' I ask?


Anyway, I am sure we all say get well soon to him and/or her. ;)
