Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Time once again for Nungate Towers to open the portals for the meeting of the AB Mad Over Fifties.
For tonight's extravaganza, we have the Hot Plate Special, a lovely hot and spicy Chilli con Carne, with rice and cornbread, and of course the customary nibbles, volly vonts and canopies. On the pudding trolley tonight we have a choice of Treacle sponge and custard, or Sherry Trifle (heavy on the sherry)
The tailcock of choice this evening will be the "Nungate Sling" an interesting variation on that classic, Singapore Sling (a particular favourite of mine) The Minstrels are back again in the Gallery and tonight they are returning to their usual offerings of Madrigals and toccattas, though later on they have promised to play for us their own take on the greatest hits Boxcar Willie - could be interesting as I thought something like that would require some antiseptic, however,...........
For your further entertainment, that wonderful pair of dancers, Clarke Ruffle Horrid and his delightful dance partner, Tessie Tura the Tottenham Twirler will be giving us a dance exhibition in the ballroom followed by one to one instruction for any member wishing to take their first steps into the Terpsichorian Art. Also on offer are donkey rides down by the lake, sad to say that there can be no rally car racing round the track tonight as we are awaiting the delivery of a new rally car, since Queenie managed to write one off doing hand brake turns and ended up having an argument with a tree (she lost, so did the car....)
So, the hot tub is bubbling away in the North Tower, the mini bar has been refilled, the bungee is ready for any unwise souls willing to jump, as always the bowling alley is primed and waiting. Igor has his chains all buffed and is standing by to welcome our guests.
Murraymints has sent her apologies, owing to an urgent family matter she will not be joining us this evening (the pink sparkly is being held by Belle in the Ladies Retiring Room awaiting her return).
Be assured a warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Carriages at midnight.

Hello and goodbye then Excel. We'll miss you tonight, thanks for your offerings, I'll give " herself" that hug though.

Madam, shall I bring up the buckets from the silver vault? Chubb could keep an eye on the door for me not overly warm stood here waiting.....

[mrs_overall]

Good evening.
I too can only pay a fleeting visit (but I will have time to chug down a tailcock or two) as I have business elsewhere

For the riffle I have brought:
A 22" zip (with jammed teeth)
A Fiscal History of Iran 1500-1925 (paperback edition)
One fishnet stocking
Twelve empty oyster shells
An empty After Eights box

[nungate]

Ah, good evening Mrs O haven't seen you around the Towers for a while, lovely to see you again.

Igor, a bucket for Mrs. O if you please......

[Igor61]

Yes Madame, on my way.......... thinks, I hope she's careful where she puts those marigolds I have my chains to think of...

Your bucket modom....

[mrs_overall]

Thank you for the welcome nungate.

I haven't been to the towers since the scurrilous allegations were made against me regarding theft of the moat.

[tonyav]

Evening all and all that may enter the splendiferous halls of nungate towers later.
For the roffle I have one set of piston rings suitable for a 1967 Lambretta SX 200, one penny bubbly only slightly chewed and one playboy mag April 1969.

[mrs_overall]

Thank you Igor.
That is an interesting choice of location where you have sewn on a spare thumb..

[mrs_overall]

Good evening tony.
Can the pages in the magazine still be opened?

[tonyav]

Oh gawd she's mentioned the moat.

[Igor61]

Unusual perhaps Modom, but yet, useful.....


Ah, Sir, your usual bucket?

[tonyav]

Afraid not mrs overload.

[mrs_overall]

Igor, I have to ask, why is the spare thumb sewn on your forehead?

[nungate]

Good evening Tony, oh, here's Igor with your bucket, isn't he good?
I'm sure I could find a use for piston rings, did someone mention the moat?
We've instigated new security measures in that regard, apart from the cameras and security patrols - these are the ossifers poor Minty keeps getting upset by, not the local constabulary just Towers security, anyone trying to steal the moat now could find the outcome shocking.......very shocking......

[Igor61]

Somewhere out of the way to 'ang me chains when I 'elp wiv the washin' up, an the dustin' don't wanna get it rusty no now do I?

[mrs_overall]

The Nungate Sling was very....different.
I have to go now so I wish you all a pleasant evening.
May I keep the bucket please?

[DaisyNonna]

Awful journey. Too wet for Malkin. Have brought Paddy, my toad, instead.
For the rifle I have, a used 3 amp fuse, 9 plastic curtain hooks, weaponless action man doll, one unshelled quail egg.
A sling is just what I need.

[tonyav]

Thank you Igor, most appreciated.
