Mad over fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Welcome again to all our members old and older.
It is not quite so cold this week, but I am sure we will still all feel the benefit.
Hopefully our staff will not desert us as they did last week with excuses about 'half-term' and 'circumstances beyond my control'...you know who you are and we know what you were up to...lady butcher indeed.....I have it on good authority that that shop was open for business all last weekend and the butcher lady was serving her customers tripe as usual...

Tonight's raffle prizes so far are:

Two porky pies
Small pack of green face powder (covers blushes)
and two used bus tickets to Scarborough (it's so bracing)

[DaisyNonna]

Still waiting, your felineship.

[DTCwordfan]

well Dorset ones like to mince around, Jumbo; we are made of sterner meatier stuff like Chuck.....

[Mamyalynne]

I fear that Ena may havee broken curfew.

[DTCwordfan]

Mamya's pasties, I'll have ee know
Were nothing but the petal best
Full of Jumbo turnips, Daisy taties and some Lie-in beef
They were far better than the Trollish rest

We took them down the Moat for tea
We took them up AB St Mikey's Trecom
By train, we took them to Penzance
To eat upon the Castle prom

AB Eds coaches took the weight
On Apotheosic trips to Looe
Loaded down with Nungate's buns
And Mamya's pasties, too

I'd take one down the AB station
Alexander had to have his tea
I never used to mind at all
There'd be a slinky of a corner left for me

We ate them when we went to Lady A's Castle
We ate them through crossing Dartmoor
They kept us going when trollish times were tough
We couldn't have asked for more

If we could turn the clock back years
Now wouldn't that be grand?
Once more we'd sit on the Castle Moat
With Mamya's pasties in our hands

[ladyalex]

Ah. The Trollish Times....now that was a newspaper.

[DaisyNonna]

DT How clever of you to know that I am growing potatoes this year!

[Jumbo747]

But I'm certainly NOT growing turnip-knobs - I dislike them intensely (to put it mildly).
Wonder when the time will be right to plant spuds daisy? I was once told that Good Friday was a good day..........

[DTCwordfan]

Foresight, foresight, DaisyN, and the Trollish Times, well what a finer organ to have in the Library.

[DTCwordfan]

It sounds increasingly that our Jumbo resides in Dorchester, Thomas Not-So-Hardy country, but that's unfair to Prudie.....

[DaisyNonna]

Jumbo, I believe that the spudsshould be chitted to a length of an inch in a frost free but not sunny environment before planting. Me,I am just hoping for the best. Said spuds are at the moment kipping in my spare room. Never heated as I can't afford it so they may as well take advantage of the free billet.
Four different kinds, must segregate them.
What is the connection to a chit of a girl? Glad I did not become a root vegetable!

[Jumbo747]

Must be off then .....to chit!! Toodleoo

[ladyalex]

Aren't you supposed to bare your buttocks and sit in the ground to see if it is warm enough to plant spuds ?

Or am I getting confused ?

[DaisyNonna]

If you want to sit in a polypropylene bucket, be my guest!

[ladyalex]

So long, Jumbo. Enjoy your chitting.

[ladyalex]

I said I might be getting confused, Daisy.....

[polar-bear]

Evening All, Hope you are all well. For the roffle I have half a packet of mini cheddars and some sloe gin. I am badly in need of cheering up

[nungate]

Typical! Leave you lot for a wee while and you're off with me buns! Not to mention putting the wind up the Llama!
Not to mention you Milady baring your buttocks to test the soil warmth for planting! I'm in shock!! Best time to start planting is when the farmers in your area star planting their crops.

[DTCwordfan]

hello Polar and Nungate has returned, with her hot cross buns.....

[Mamyalynne]

Where have you all gone, lost connection and was expecting more speculation and admonishment.

New batch of Jumping Jupiters ready and the pasties are hot.

[nungate]

Sorry Mama still trying to calm the Llama down after his encounter with the skunk.........or was it? I'm also trying to ignore DT's comments about my buns - they are neither hot nor cross - they are currant! Like some?
Yes I'd love another pail full of Jumping, jehosophats...............sorry Jupiters
