Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Evening all, and welcome back to Nungate Towers for the latest meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
On tonight's agenda we are having an inflatable party down in the indoor swimming pool. Plant has spent today blowing up so many, inflatable toys (sorry no inflatable dolls) poor soul I fear he might not have enough puff left to serve our members this evening! The minstrels will again be taking their place in the Great Hall gallery, playing their customary selection of madrigals and fugues, while down by the pool, we have Troy Tempest and the Stingrays providing the music for the pool party and also for the Muckleflugga and Penge Formation drow.... oops Swimming Team.
Our hot plate special tonight is a sea food platter a melange of all sorts of
fish and shellfish (also available for those with an intense dislike of all things fishy, namely me, we have a delicious lasagne) on the pudding trolley tonight there is Sussex Pond pudding, with lashings of custard or whipped cream. Naturally, we also have everyone's favourites, volly vonts and canopies. The Tailcock tonight is the Little Mermaid, and intriguing concoction I think and right up there with some of the best efforts of our resident mixologist! For those members who prefer a less riotous time, rest assured, your needs have also been catered for. There are roaring fires in the Snug, the Games Room and also in the Library, where members are free to peruse the shelves and where they can also find the latest editions of all the popular magazines and periodicals, I believe we have just received the latest edition of Corn Plasterers Monthly.
For the rofl tonight I offer:
half a bag of John Innes No3 compost
a selection of broken flower pots
a jumble of tangled embroidery threads (thank you Teddy)
1 kitten in need of a good home .... (kidding! wouldn't part with him)

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Good evening your nungateship and queenie, a little birdie tells me that you have experienced some internet probs, glad it's fixed now.
A bucket of 'LIttle Mermaid' if you please Plant.
For the roffle I have one waste trap suitable for a bathroom vanity basin leaks like hell !.

[queenofmean]

in the towers tony lol

Does that not make it a sieve?

[nungate]

Good evening Tony, yes finally got it sorted, hopefully that'll be it for a long time, we've had a few problems recently which is annoying but fingers crossed we've seen the last of it. Don't fancy the trap from a vanity unit, I already have a leaky one......

ah, here's Plant now whispers do treat him gently he's had a busy day, someone hid the air pump

[tonyav]

Ah right then, a grasshopper type thing in the towers ! ( I'm sure one of the kitties will deal with that !)
No queenie it leaks more than a sieve would !.

[queenofmean]

[tonyav]

Poor old Plant, however I have bought my own inflatable do errrr I mean toy for the pool party.

[nungate]

[tonyav]

Whats happened ?.

[nungate]

Nothing. I was hmmming at your choice of inflatable ....
Queenie, have you forgotten? Dear old Sir Cumference the castle ghost?
Not to mention Horace the skeleton living in the cellars?

I must get them to do a bit of haunting, earn their keep so to speak....

[queenofmean]

yeah I tend to forget these things

[DaisyNonna]

Evening nungate, queenie and Tony. Hope all is well. Just love seafood.
For the rifle I have a wooden darning mushroom, a medium sized embroidery frame (one screw a little wonky) a macramé board with ten pins. Couldn't get the tapestry frame on the broom. Need to finish the family crest anyway. Also a pair of size ten knitting needles (long) and a crochet hook.
Desperate for a drink. A Little Mermaid sounds good.

[nungate]

You must be catching it from Grandma ;-) xx

[tonyav]

Not to mention Horace the skeleton living in the cellars?

Ah, so thats who it was, could have sworn that I had heard Igor dragging his chains around. Must have been Horace rattling his bones !.

Evening Daisy.

[nungate]

Good evening Daisy, I hope you are well. My goodness what a lot you have had to carry on your broom. I hope the flying conditions were good tonight?

[DaisyNonna]

Poor Plant. All that puffing and blowing. Do you have floating bananas?

[nungate]

You name it we got it Daisy (except inflatable dolls!)

[tonyav]

Do you have floating bananas?

Hope so Daisy, I'll get the speed boat !.
