Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

Good evening all to our beautifully refurbished club.

Members are asked to be careful of our new paintwork and it would be appreciated if all animals could be restrained, preferably within a handbag or portmanteau.

The whiff of paint will soon fade, meanwhile, we must sympathise with the Queen who has to suffer this olfactory discomfort all the time.


So far for the raffle we have:


2 paintbrushes (hardly stiff at all)
half a bottle of white spirit
2 rolls of masking tape

[ladyalex]

DT, you have outdone yourself.
Mamya...any chance of us getting a publisher (and the royalties )?

Jumbo 747 ...welcome to the club. Our rules are fairly flexible.
Certification of Madness is desirable but not necessary, as application for membership is normally consider sufficient proof of insanity.
Age is but a number here.

[Mamyalynne]

Shall chase that up in the week Milady, good thinking.

[Lie-in King]

Good evening, Miss Daisy - your Scintilla*. Please be assured that your toggles will be treated with the utmost respect & that your broom is currently enjoying the company of matron's nailbrush.

Miss alba - I have a lovely new secret cubbyhole - it's just over by the... Oops, you were being crafty & nearly wheedled its location from me.

Nice try, miss.

[boxtops]

Milady, why not ask the Ab Editor if you can have a Book of MOFC? It can be done you know - have you seen the Apotheosis publication (you should, you should)?

[albaqwerty]

Evening Jumbo, just loads of sanity :) Welcome.

Watch out for Kingy tho, he has a penchant for coats:)

[ladyalex]

I will look into that, boxtops.

Another scintilla*, I think. They are rather good.

[Psybbo]

Oh, the joy of the p(a)lace and how beautifully restored, LadyAlex and Mamya respendent in their gowns and the butler returned to his rightful place!
I bring a beaten docket and some water biscuits............

[Jumbo747]

Thank you milady and all Club Members - I definitely qualify on both insanity and age grounds!
I could offer for the riffle:
a few Christmas cake crumbs
a half-knitted easter bunny

[Lie-in King]

Your Scintilla*, m'lady - I am led to believe that one "couldn't get served quicker in a tripe shop".

Whatever one of those is...

[Lie-in King]

Good evening Miss Jumbo, Miss sibton - I shall relieve you of those delightful coats while you enjoy matron's latest recipe - the Scintilla*

I think it is spelled that way as after a few, one will begin to see ****

[ladyalex]

I feel we should draw a veil over tripe shops, LIK...lions of your calibre would not have anything to do with offal.

Thank you so much for those raffle prizes, Jumbo..you seem to be picking things up nicely.

Hope I win the bunny.

[Mamyalynne]

Why would one beat a docket?? Is it not cruel

[Lie-in King]

Indeed, m'lady.

I feel sure that the bunny will find a good home with you.

Or whoever should win it, of course...

[Lie-in King]

Tailcocks, tailcocks! Get 'em while I'm rushed off my feet, they're lovely!

[ladyalex]

I wondered about beating a docket too....I'm not sure we can accept it as a prize. Cannot be seen to condone cruelty, y'know.

[albaqwerty]

jumbo, just so you know the riffle is never fixed.

Hic, oh excuse me. That scintilla is definitely scintillating.

Boxy, your chicken is delicious. (always much nicer when someone else makes food and the nibbles are lovely)

[Jumbo747]

I really do have to be careful with alcohol, sir, I'm liable to snooze off in a corner if I have more than one................

[Mamyalynne]

We have plenty corners for snoozing in .

[albaqwerty]

Just don't sign anything jumbo :)

Was worth a try surely kingy? x

[Psybbo]

Oops, retracts cruel betting slip and proffers left-over Xmas pudding and half a carton of brandy cream
