Mad over fifties Club
180 Answers
The Club is now Open
Welcome one and all to our Club.
Members will be glad to know that lordalex has recovered from his exertions of last week and is safely upstairs with Uncle Joe. The stitches are dissolving slowly and you would hardly know that anything had happened to him.
The Committee has had a request from the Home for the Bewildered , which as you know is next door, asking that we confine ourselves.
This request has been declined. (Although Members are reminded that we do have an oubliette available with hot and cold running walls, should anyone wish to take advantage of it. See Matron for the rental rates...very reasonable.)
So far for tonight's raffle, we have:
Half a tube of polo mints
A bottle of fruity sauce
and
A baseball cap (Burberry)
I am agog to see this week's speciality tailcock, which no doubt will arrive very soon along with the usual array of nibbles and canapes.

Good evening, m'lady! Glad to hear m'lord is feeling himself again...
Hi mamya! The usual unfeasibly large one, please - hold the garnish, extra Shoosh...
For the kerfuffle, I've rustled up - a toothless rake (be nice), 3 empty free-range egg boxes & a 6 inch growbag, good for bonsai enthusiasts.
Now, who's going to join me in the corner tonight, I wonder?..

My one "verse" offering tonight for y'all as I may buqqer off to a house of ill-repute known as the Hawkins Arms.
Thanks to Kenneth Patchen for the base verse to this.
“Ode to the Demise of the News and Screws”
We must be slow and delicate; return
the Ed's stare with some esteem,
remember this is not a shadow play
of questions and answers but this is now
the time to write it down, record the words—
I mean we should have left some Petal pride
of youth and not forget the idiocy of men
who take just the Screws and Daily Mail
they've read about at breakfast in Boxtop’s restaurant:
"The Castle is Open."—without regret or bitterness
obtain the measure of the words we make,
the latest thread has chosen a theme of The Mad Over 50s Club
delivering us a Mamya tailcock hangover—destroy. . . ?
why no. . . this too is fanciful. . . funny how
hard it is to be slow and delicate, like Tigwig, in this
this thing of framing words to mark this conclave,
I mean nothing short of drinks in every street
on earth can fitly voice our loss of AB sanity.
The News of the World is rabidly dead
Gone to the proverbial Wall.
What now will AOG, Geezer and crew use
To stir the lefties, reds and Blues
Generate tension and suspension, always under Ed’s call.
Alex’s Club is the Answer!
Bank in the wit of TTFN humour, Society advice and Nonna’s Notions
Never minding Helen’s Melons, Jogger’s naughty Potions
NoM’s wine list – well it must be seven thirty? Gins from Albaqwerty.
Raffles from Slinky Kate, meat ex Lie-in-King, Meg’s tricks and Suezy’s licks.
And HalifaxMum’s turns away “Ummms, (AB gaol) Dumbs and Bums,”
Not to forget Juicy titbits from Merica and AnswerPrancer
The Day complete. No need now for any NoTW
One more tailcock and Mamya will double you.
The Portals are closed, Alexander long dozed
A Coffee from Starbuckone sees us soon into “Zion.”
The Mad Over 50s Club; Answers derisive, fun to all and sundry
Murdoch, Wade and Hackers, tried and prison scrubbed.
If no bars, then well and truly AB snubbed.
All of us? The difference is? ~ We’re here next Sunday.
