Brexit Arms: Election Night Lock-In

Welcome to the Brexit Arms - it's going to be a stormy old night! We're about to be buffeted from right to left and back again with no real idea what the landscape will finally look like in the morning. All are welcome to weather the storm in the warmth and safety of the Arms - but please remember this a hospitable establishment so let's try and keep it that way.

We're kicking off the evening with our Back to the 70's theme night while we wait for the big main event to unfold. The juke box is loaded with all your 70's favourites. Feel free to dance round your handbags but please, no dancing on the tables…. this could be seen as having too much fun.

As always, we've got a nice big pot of PG Tips on the brew and Camp coffee by the mugfuls in addition to our usual alcoholic beverages.

On a serious note, we know that tonight's events are going to cause some upsets. With this in mind, the mint imperial bowls on the bar have been filled with Diocalms and we urge all our customers to make use of these. There should be enough to go round as long as nobody starts trying to stockpile. We simply cannot risk the need for plumbers to unblock our loos on Friday morning, as they could have been called out on strike by then.

Landladies on duty tonight will be:

20:00-22:00 Greenish (with Babychams, Cherry B's and vol au vents)
2200-midnight Twattage (with Classic Dmitris and cheeseboard)
Midnight-0200 Singing (with stiff brandies to calm the nerves, plus a selection of fresh nuts)
0200-0400 Hate (possibly with Albanian delicacies and a hangover cure)

We'd like to get the glitter ball turning with this absolute classic:

….fingers crossed similar scenes will abound in the Arms by the end of tonight. Enjoy!

P.s. When ordering drinks between 8pm and 10pm please supply your own drinks emojis. Thankyou!

Sorry I did a crap job there lily - I did put some cheese out...

AutumnRose1 · 13/12/2019 00:01

It’s not looking good in my constituency

Explains a lot about me feeling out of place.

Just hoping it’s wrong....

AutumnRose1 · 13/12/2019 00:02

Twattage thank you for the cheese!

DustyDiamond · 13/12/2019 00:03

😂😂😂

I heart everyone on these threads 😍

spadeo · 13/12/2019 00:04

Ballot papers have been taken away by police in Paisley - Electoral fraud suspected 😳

DustyDiamond · 13/12/2019 00:05

It's the boring & weird bit of the calm before the storm now....

Am hoping beyond hope that exit poll is on point 🤞

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 13/12/2019 00:07

What other delights can you conjure up lily, I fancy an almond.. Something.. Mince pie and a mulled wine.
I'm flagging comrades.

I'm going to drift off with TV in the background and dream of tables laden with nothing but marrows and marrow jam, only for someone to whip it all away... It's marrows printed on a table cloth, underneath is a true feast...

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:12

Twattage, big thanks to you too for the ClassicDmitris and the cheeseboard.

My humble apologies. I was so carried away with the Blyth Valley result, I got mixed up. You did a sterling job too.

Now...back to the big questions.

Will Head Girl Jo lose East Dumbartonshire? It's looking dicey.

If she does, who will become the new Head Girl or Head Boy? And will they know what the definition of "woman" is?

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:13

Almond bakewell, Raise.

Mince pies with extra walnuts and brandy in the filling, in a crisp almond pastry.

A glass of Amaretto.

Twattage13 · 13/12/2019 00:14

lily I also put a crate of champers out and it has all been drunk around 10pm - I said it was on the house. So I fear profits may be down tonight. You can take it out of my wages.

Limer · 13/12/2019 00:14

Very interesting to see the Brexit Party results so far. Bears out what I've been pointing out for the last 3 years.

More Wine landlady please!!!!

Am definitely staying up for at least another couple of hours Grin

RaiseaGlasstoFreedom · 13/12/2019 00:15

Yes, love amaretto ♥️♥️

Sounds delicious.

I've not had proper bakewell for years.

When dust has settled I'd like to hear your Christmas menus singing...

MrsSnippyPants · 13/12/2019 00:19

Thanks Singing plenty of ice in mine must stay hydrated.

Just popped in here for a bit of respite from the 'it's the end of the world' vibe on my Facebook timeline!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 13/12/2019 00:21

Loving all our delurkers tonight! 👋 😍🥃🍷🙏

MrsSnippyPants · 13/12/2019 00:21

Just saw the person I dislike even more than Bercow. Gina Miller, the woman who didn’t want to stop Brexit but did her darnedest at every opportunity. Don’t know if the TV will still be operating after watching her.
I feel a court case coming on.

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:22

😂🤣Twattage, we broke into a previous Landlady's emergency supplies. They were in a case marked:

"Not to be opened till 29 March 2019 12 April 2019 31 October 2019
What the hell. Open this when you've got something to celebrate".

DustyDiamond · 13/12/2019 00:23

I'm still up btw & staying up

I'm just flicking between different things & half listening to the telly til the results start flooding in

Also loving the delurkers 🙌

I'm just gobsmacked I think that we might actually ratify a withdrawal agreement & start on course for actual Brexit by New Year 😱

I can't quite believe it!

DustyDiamond · 13/12/2019 00:24

I feel a court case coming on.

😂😂😂

Would love Laura Pidcock to lose her seat
She's a dick

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:25

Ooh, Laura "I could never be friends with a Tory" Pidcock?

One of the two Crown Princesses of the Labour Party?

🙏

spadeo · 13/12/2019 00:29

A glass of 🍾 please SingingLily before I settle in for the night (my two boys are early risers). I won’t lie - still in shock by the polls.

Don’t suppose there are any bakewells left? 😉

GreenishMe · 13/12/2019 00:31

Swindon!
