Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Igor is waiting at the doors of Nungate Towers to welcome all of AB's Mad over fifties.
Tonight's Tailcock is on ice the "Aguafresca", a tantalising brew from the depths of sunny Spain, which should go well with tonight's hot plate special a lovely paella, cooked in the true Valencia way, ouside over a fire. To complement the paella, we have a wide selection of Tapas, an introduction of new taste sensations for our regular guests. (the usual selction of volly vont and canopies will also be available) Continuing the Spanish theme, on the pudding trolley we have Crema Catalana (a Spanish version of creme caramel) The Tapster has also joined with our Spanish theme and has a stock of Estrella Damm beers, Asturian cider, and an interesting selection of sherries. (fino, amontillado, manzanilla etc., no Bristol cream here tonight!)
For your entertainment, tonight in the ballroom, we have the Freda Fernandes
Flamenco Dance and Fluff Wrangling troupe, so break out your castanets and get ready to give it some laldy!
In the minstrels gallery our gallant troupe of minstrels are busy warming up their usual selection of madrigals and toccatas as well as preparing to give us their wonderful renditions of Bing Crosby's Greatest Hits (we have asked them not to play White Chrismas this evening)
So, the hot tub is bubbling away in the North Tower, the mini bar has been replenished (yet again) many thanks Igor. The bungee is ready to go, and has been relocated over the cliff on the sea side of the west Tower, as the moat has been filled with piranhas. So do try to stay out of it - security measures have had to be increased in light of recent events........
The pins have been set in the bowling alley, tiddlywinks and snakes and ladders all set to go in the games room, a cosy fire has been lit in the snug, for those in need of a quiet moment. We will be holding a rofl later in the evening, and we may yet stage the unveiling ceremony of the plaque outside Mammar's chocolate cupboard.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

[Igor61]

Straws Igor? Try the third drawer down in the dresser in the summer kitchen
I think there may be some straws left there, or you could see if the Tapster has some....

[DTCwordfan]

[DaisyNonna]

Evening nungate, sorry to be late. Had to coax Eric out this evening. Well, yes, I was looking at vacuun cleaners this afternoon but I keep telling him that their aerodynamics are rubbish.
For the ruffle I have a box of assorted sequins, a pencil sharpener in the shape of a car, 6 wooden dolly pegs and a quarter of sherbert lemons.
Please igor, avery large Agua thingy. That paella smells delicious. Perhaps I might try a tapas selection?

[nungate]

Wasn't exactly lucky for the rabbit either Minty..

[DaisyNonna]

Never mind luvvy, we'll soon turn your hair grey.

[DTCwordfan]

That sounds like >50 months mental age ILS, so you're in.

[nungate]

Hello Daisy, I hope Eric id feeling a bit better now. You're right about vacuums not being too streamlined, on the whole a bit clunky aren't they?

Do try some Iberico ham Daisy..
