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]

I'm sure the butler will be along soon with your Scintilla*, sibton...all is forgiven as regards the beaten docket.

[DTCwordfan]

What sex is the Llama, pray, nungate......

[Lie-in King]

It may be of some interest to know that the painters used badger hair to decorate with.

The badger was not best pleased...

[Lie-in King]

Tailcocks, tailcocks! First of the new batch, get 'em while they're steaming, they're lovely!

[ladyalex]

But the black and white striped hall is amazing...

Why do you want to know the sex of the llama, DT ?

[Mamyalynne]

No wonder Alfie is obsessed with the skirtings.

[Jumbo747]

My 'umble apologies oh Sir LIK but a preposition is the wrong word to end a sentence WITH

[DTCwordfan]

I have just been googling llama diseases - seems that the Llama may qualify for Club Membership.....

[nungate]

hic' thank you, my customary pailful will be sufficient, I napped while the llama was at the pit stop so currently I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed!
Not to worry Milady, Carlito is fully versed in how to behave around freshly painted rooms, by the way would that be puce you've used in the downstairs powder room?
Nice.

[albaqwerty]

Don't get side-tracked by the llama. It's a push-me-pull-you.
Honest :)

[ladyalex]

That is a practice up with which we will not put...well we will sometimes

[Psybbo]

Thank you Ladyalex
Mamy I was just checking that the paint on the skirting board was dry

[annadomino]

Good evening all.
To make up for my poor behaviour the other week, I have been to M&S and can offer for the piffle
2 handfuls of those little sockettes they give you to try on shoes,
a bag of yogurt coated peanuts
and a large pack of their frozen cocktail sausage rolls.

[ladyalex]

Can the llama sign his/her name ?
More importantly, does s/he have his/her own bank account ?

[annadomino]

Oh, I just adore the heritage colours you have chosen for the refurbishment, so classy, what taste.

[DTCwordfan]

If the Llama has a jib and tackle, I cite:

Beserk Male Syndrome - Aggressive behavior that males may display at around two years old or even younger. Caused mainly by over-handling by humans when young or by bottle feeding. The male animals looks at humans as peers due to the bonding with humans ranther than other llamas, and becomes very territorial rather than having the respect for humans. An aggressive male can become very dangerous!

Oh sorry Sibton, crossed wires there - Alfie is my pet Agouti, he wriggled out of my portmanteau and was a sniffing the paintwork.

[DaisyNonna]

Always wondered how to decorate a with. Thought it needed a why.

[nungate]

Sorry DT, I was cogitating and missed your question. The llama is a boy, his name is Carlito, and he has lovely coloured pompoms in his ears as is traditional in darkest Peru, though he himself hails from the Trossachs, he is also fully house trained and adores to play mah jong, though since his last encoounter with the alleged veggie cros in the moat, he hasn't been able to pick up a tile..........so sad such was the trauma

[ladyalex]

A withy ?
Is that not something to do with sheep ?

Or shall I go back to sleep ?
