Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening and welcome everyone

I am glad to report that Mamyalynne's potions and possets have finally done the trick and got rid of my virus. I am almost completely restored to health...hardly glowing in the dark at all now.

The Committee have decided that the usual fireworks display will take place this evening. Any members remembering where the matches are hidden are asked to report this to someone.

All animals have been locked in the Conservatory and lordalex and Uncle Joe have been securely tethered in their room.

Tonight's raffle prizes include:

A set of dominoes (double 3 missing)
4 pairs of footless tights ( 2 black, 2 pink)
Six Thornton's toffees.(tested but not fully chewed).

[Mamyalynne]

Am sure I could rustle some up DT - fantastic ode, I shall have the scribe add it to the growing tome on the morrow.

[ladyalex]

Have you engaged a scribe in my absence , Mamya ?

Such initiative! Well done !

[Mamyalynne]

I think our annals will help future generations Milady in seeing the right path to take.

It shall have all our remedies/recipes and of course the exalted odes of DTC.

[ladyalex]

And is there anchovy in the parkin ?

I like the idea of your remedies etc in a book...like a book of spells ...

[Mamyalynne]

Maybe a tad yes - is a very good flavour enhancer as you know.

[ladyalex]

Just think of Worcester Sauce.....

[DaisyNonna]

DT Did you defang the frog before or after cooking?

[DTCwordfan]

and some of that new flavour they have identified umami - or is that ummmm-mamya?

Ed save us!

[nungate]

Sorry I'm late - had to leave the llama at home - fireworks you know. Have I missed the firework display? Are you having a spelling bee or something? I thought I saw something like that mentioned

[DTCwordfan]

they make very good spitting darts, Daisy - quite a new game for the dartsboard.

[DaisyNonna]

Still waiting to find out where to stash my cloak. Where is the Butler?

[ladyalex]

Welcome, nungate. Good choice to leave the llama at home.
I cannot remember anything about a spelling bee, but I'm sure we had a blue bottle once.

I'll start the spelling bee off:

Who can spell PRESTIDIGITATION ?

[DTCwordfan]

Think that he is having a Lie-in, his big paws covering his eyes, as he probably is dropping a ton of spoor at all the sparklies going off out there. He was around earlier (late pm).

[Mamyalynne]

I would hang on to your cloak Daisy, anything might end up on the bonfire. Butler schmuttler - useless. Mutter shuffle sulk.

[DTCwordfan]

Haven't heard of that one Lady A...

Preston-digitation is the act of illegal copying of Bard's material in North Lancashire.

[ladyalex]

No butler this week ?

Has he submitted a sick note ?

I feel a fine coming on...

[nungate]

Magick?

[DTCwordfan]

Then prestidigitation rhymes with "dressymitigation", the definition of that being an excuse for a fashion disaster.

[ladyalex]

Nungate wins !

Next question:

Who can spell Massachusetts ?

[DTCwordfan]
