Mad over fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening and welcome to everyone.

The usual sumptuous array of snacks and nibbles will doubtless arrive very soon, and I, for one am very much looking forward to sampling this week's tailcock. Several bottles seem to have gone missing from the cellar, so I am expecting great things.

For tonight's raffle, so far I have:

Half a bottle of bath salts (greenish-blue)
Two pairs of American Tan tights
Two nail files

[lady-janine]

sorry to be so late joining you. all i have for the raffle tonight is:
some pussy willow;
bunches of daffodils;
left over braised parsnips;
photo of ornamental cherry in flower.

may i have a glass of anything that you have left over in the drinks line?

[nungate]

I loathe cream eggs - yuk!

[DTCwordfan]

I can say that I have never put my feet on Lincolnshire soil, not even to the adult chemistry set up at Immingham.

However, I would like to visit the cathedral though in Lincoln before I part these fair waters.....

[ladyalex]

Hello, lady janine, I'm afraid your raffle prizes will have to be roll-overs.

I'm sure there are plenty of Eggscursion tailcocks available, even if Mamya does keep on getting cut off in her prime.
Do fill a pail or two and drink up.

[lady-janine]

DT are we to understand that one of your estimed names is moses?

[ladyalex]

Beware of the Imp, DT

[DTCwordfan]

just the bathwater......

[ladyalex]

I have no wish to know how you part the bath water, DT

[lady-janine]

please store my goods as rollovers for the next raffle. by then i may even be abe to add to them. however, it might be better to dispose of them as you see fit as there is a danger of decomposition i fear.

[ladyalex]

Nothing ever goes to waste in this establishment, lady janine....we will distribute them to the poor and needy peasantry of the area.

[DTCwordfan]

well, for the moment, I shall climb the wooden stairs as I was up early this morning...splitting the water can wait until tomorrow.

Night to all..............no LIK or Polar Bear this evening, I see.

[lady-janine]

night-night DT. sleep well.

[ladyalex]

Good night DT.
We were a small but select group this evening .
See you again next week.
Sleep well :-))

[nungate]

Goodnight Granpaw, goodnight John boy......................goodnight DT

[Mamyalynne]

Oh goody , won the american tan tights, night to all early leavers.


Tailcocks, tailcocks come and get them while they are still here.

[ladyalex]

Well, pausing only to pick up a last eggscursion (Mamya, you outdid yourself tonight) I am off to bed too.

A small but elite gathering tonight.
Thanks for all the laughs and see you all again next week, if we're spared (and if I am not in custody for committing unspeakable offences against the person of my physio .

:-))

[nungate]

Sweet dreams Milady. Please do not attempt violence against the Physio terrorist - they really have the power to hurt! :{

Yes, Lincoln cathedral is a cathedral, but not Canterbury cathedral. but, a very impressive building, usually a choir singing in the distance and a really religious service taking place, so quite atmospheric, also has the advantage of being almost in the shopping area, which is a hard slog as it is built on the side of the hill that the cathedral was built on, but has a canal/river flowing through and a marina. lots of really old buildings and monuments, dating from saxon and roman times, some still in use, some just fenced off. I must say, being a southerner, that Lincoln and lincolnshire in general is probably the most historic and ancient place i have ever visited. ( I now live there) just down the road from me was the home of Sir joseph banks,( and his enormous estate, still there) who went with captain cook on his voyages, cromwell lived down the road, tiny tim has a house that is still standing, and we have the defence system for the U.K. over the back fence, the euro fighters, the typhoon. we also have the only Lancaster bomber left flying in the u.k., this comes over the roof every few weeks, and there are a couple of spitfires and a Dakota.
we also had the only one left flying of the vulcan bomber land at coningsby, what a plane, just like a butterfly when it took off. there is also the airfield at lincoln where the red arrows fly from, and the airfield the other side where the radar planes fly from.( awak's). Lincolnshire is full of disused wartime airfields where the Lancaster bombers flew from. and just a long the road is a pub where the ceiling has the signatures of the Dam busters, Guy Gibson and crew, they were based in the airfield a few hundred yard away, which holds events in the summer, such as an 1940's day, where there are encampments set up for the allies and the germans,all dressed in the uniforms, guns etc, loads of nissen huts with wartime bombs and bombed houses etc.and all these people dress in the forties clothes etc. superb day for the older generation..But, once again i digress, Food awaits, frogs legs now toads toes,
chicken is now dodo, and wine all gone, as I am in the office ( caravan in garden) and she has access to all the goodies.

Ah Percy, just the sound of those Merlin engines! I've seen the city of Lincoln Lancaster many times! (and the Spits and Hurricanes) There's a Vulcan bomber just a few miles from here at the Museum of Flight, you can see it from the road if you happen to be driving over that way, there's also a Concorde but that's kept indoors. I shall have to add Lincoln to the list of places I want to visit, I've only seen the cathedral from the train once many years ago.

Time to saddle up the llama and bid everyone a goodnight. All being well I hope to see you all in a sennight.
Goodnight and take care
