Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open
Good evening and welcome everyone.
How wonderful it is to return to dear old Blighty after a short sojourn in foreign parts.
Lordalex and I have had a restful holiday but we are always glad to return home to roost in our own home which has been so lovingly looked after by our ancient retainers.

The wine cellar seems a little depleted, but worry not, dear friends, we are expecting a new shipment very soon, so no need to hold back on the tailcocks.

I do hope that all went well during our absence and that there were no incidents involving the emergency services. (I have not had time to access the minute book.)

We have brought back with us several treats for the raffle:

A string of garlic
A stripey jersey
A beret
A tin of escargots (within date)

I look forward to tonight's talk, which I believe to be entitled :
'Lancashire Peelers, what are they for ?'
or was it
'Lancashire Heelers, what are they ?'
Time will tell, no doubt.

[petal54]

[TonyV]

only food I have to place on table is my cheese and onion sandwich, I've only taken a small bite from it. As for raffle will have to be resourceful my lady

[ladyalex]

Hello, Mamya. So pleased to see you again after all this time.

A Golden Star* would be most agreeable.

As we are all still here, can we take it that the world has not ended yet ?

[ladyalex]

Even a short visit from you is a pleasure, Petal...and often a mystery.

Tony V thank you for the sandwich, I'm sure Mamyalynne will incorporate it in the goodies.

[albaqwerty]

evening milady and all x

It's nice to see you're back (and you're front as well, please pardon the lack of manners)

Mamya and I have been at the same hare saloon, I have a half pack of kirby grips for the raffle.

The nettle soup I wouldn't inflict on anyone

[TonyV]

Think the world is still rotating

[ladyalex]

Welcome, Alba and thank you so much for the raffle prizes.
Hope I win the Alice Band.

Nettle soup sounds a bit rash.

[DTCwordfan]

If I am off my rocker then spare some of the poor inmates around here. I will have a sip of Spanish protest wine, harsh and way too (much) left and get back on my rocker......

[ladyalex]

But how can we tell, Tony ?
How would we know if the Rapture has been and got us...or missed us ?

[petal54]

I think DT was in next ward to me,
