Mad over fifties club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening all and welcome to our club.

I am sure the usual sumptuous array of drinks and nibbles will appear shortly.

Raffle contributions so far

Two under ripe bananas
A jar of Branston Pickle (sell by date June 1998)
A pair of long johns (salmon pink)
4 books of sudoku puzzles only some completed.


We are having trouble attracting speakers at the moment. Apparently the word is out on the 'circuit' that sometimes it can be rather damp here. Cannot think why.

[ladyalex]

He brought his own, alexanderd, Goodness knows what it was.

It's getting late, so , time for the raffle.

Hurrah! I won the Elvis tea towel and the Broons Book.

[mojohnson]

I was late again - had jersey royals with garlic slices on offer too

[ttfn]

How come all my colours start with the number 4?
I am sorry to have to say this (yet again) but this ruffle is becoming boringly predictable!

[ladyalex]

There's always next week, mo

[alexanderd]

Yay I have the longjohns, I think I will try them on now

[ladyalex]

In the other room, please, alexanderd.

[Lore]

*camera at the ready*

*chants* please be the tea towel, please be the tea towel...

[alexanderd]

there we are what do you think? do I suit pink?

[ladyalex]

You're out of luck with the tea towel, Lore. I won it and have it secreted away.

TTFN I have no idea what you mean about the raffle being predictable (except by Meg, of course who has a 'gift')

[mojohnson]

thats pink is it? mmmmm

[ladyalex]

I think I can honestly say that I have never seen anything quite like you in salmon pink long johns , Alexanderd.
Becoming is the best adjective I can think of.

[TonyV]

Lady sorry if I was comiing and going- dongle/ wind and being in a boat does not help

[DTCwordfan]

One more as to the challenge just posed and I like the title Laureate MoatKeeper courtesy of and "borrowed and extended" from Gewn Ellis of Wiltshire fame.

We be AB Moonrakers, feeling right sad,
'cause our famous old TTFN's gone real dry,
And that was as the Cognac that gave us our name
In them far away bars, the Ed's gone by
So we're stuffed as local game in The Club Oh so Mad.
Thats yer lot; Hic 'n Cup, 50 plus, we must deny.

[Mamyalynne]

Wow, I got the shoes with killer heels, look at me, totter topple oops - hoist please.

[Lore]

Booooooo! :(

Pink? Oh, I thought they were... well, I honestly thought you'd had a rather hot bath and were parading round in your all together!
