Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and Happy Easter to all members of the MOFC and, indeed we at the Towers would like to extend those greetings to all members of AB.
Igor is back on duty at the entrance waiting to collect for concealment all coats, cloaks, and broomsticks in his various crooks and nannies members should note that there is no guarantee that these items will be returned at the end of our revels, though they may eventually turn up at some point
Our Tailcock this evening is in keeping with the season and is the Chocabunny" our resident mixologist does like to keep things current.
The Hot Plate Special tonight will be a honey roasted gammon, with new potatoes and that perennial favourite, cabbage.................. Of course it would not be MOFC if we did not have those favourites, volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies, so beloved by MOFC members. On the pudding trolley tonight we have profiteroles, with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream.
Our entertainment tonight comes from the Minstrels how do they manage to keep on getting in? with their usual selection of madrigals,and toccattas, though, tonight they are promising to "mix" things up a little and toss in the odd fugue!
Down in the Ballroom, we have a brand new band, the Fidgeridoos, who are going to provide us with classic old songs played on didgeridoos ........ please, didgeridon't..................
As always our faciltities are open to all members, the indoor pool loves company and we have a selection of swimwear for members to put on for swimming, (please do not offend the indoor pool by skinny dipping, he doesn't like that sort of thing) Up on the topmost tower the bungee is waiting for the more daring members.... who in their right mind would bungee over a moat full of piranhas? Our well stocked library is waiting for members who might prefer a quieter sort of evening. I am happy to say that the Triffid in the conservatory has been fed and is most amenable to visitors (enjoy it while you can this mood will not last!) I am also pleased to say that later on this evening, Frank, (Igor's minion who has returned briefly from college) has organised a bonfire for members to toast marshmallows and sing camp fire songs (what is that place teaching him?)
Rest assured dear members we have a plethora of delights for you this evening.
Lastly, my apologies for our late start this evening, I was called away on an urgent piece of family business.

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Good evening your nungateship, hope things are al right at the towers.
Was going to travel up on SX but he started snivelling again when I told him that the Casino club is no more and a shopping has been built where it stood so no detour to Wigan.
Anyhoo for the rifle I have bought with me 16 safety pins ( except that their not safe !, they like to ride motor cycles without wearing crash helmets ) and a con rod suitable for a 1974 Austin Maxi.

[nungate]

Evening DT, I take it its a bit chilly down there? Been lovely up here both yesterday and today, can't believe it! Shall I order you some hot chocolate to help you thaw and defrost?

[tonyav]

2000 tonnes of scoured bitumen.

Ohhh, sounds useful, I need a new car park.

Evening DT.

[nungate]

Austin Maxi? My father in law had once of those at one time.
What dare devils those non-safety pins are!

Drinks?

[Igor61]

I have brought some buckets Madame, filled of course

Frank is trying to get the bonfire lit, he's having a bit of trouble he might have to resort to dragon power

[tonyav]

What dare devils those non-safety pins are!


Sure are, nungate, they love extreme sports and living life on the edge.

[tonyav]

Oh yes, good to see Frank, Igor. Will you be doing any extra curricular training with Frank while he's back for the Easter break ?.

[nungate]

Frank will be fulfilling only some light duties Tony, sir, he has to study s he has exams when he returns to college

[tonyav]

Ah, a weeks worth of cramming for Frank then.

[Igor61]

Madame, our posts are getting muddled, that's the second time our posts have gone wrong - we'll have to get a "man" in to sort things out

[tonyav]

I know just the man, Igor, a Mr Puter Geek he's excellent at solving I.T. probs.

[nungate]

not really necessary, I used your machine to post an reply to someone earlier it was intentionally unintended....................jeez I'm losing the plot here

Forget it Igor, nothing to worry about

[DTCwordfan]

cramming or crumbing - or both......?

Sorry about the absence but the hound needed feeding - of the mater had her way, I would live in Sainsbury's sending cans over - when then there's 18 cans sitting out the back!

[tonyav]

Yes DT, cramming can be crummy.

[nungate]

had to pop out myself there DT, still having parent probs? Ditto this end.
getting worse and worse

[tonyav]

Hope your brother is pulling his weight, nungate.

[Igor61]

I've always felt that there is no need to cram if you have paid attention, and know and remember what you were taught, a quick read through of notes etc should suffice, worked for me

[nungate]

Don't make me laugh Tony! He tries, in fact he's very trying.....


Not everyone finds "Retaining" easy Igor, and nobody likes a smart a**e!

[tonyav]

Well done, Igor, but has you know well from your minion collage days some students aren't as diligent as you were.
