Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

Welcome once again to our weekly get-together for fun frolics and felicity.

The weather is being much kinder to us this week, so all members are reminded to wear sunscreen at all times.

The heating is off and it is time for the annual boiler-scrape and polish. Any volunteers are asked to sign up as a lack of volunteers will lead to conscription.

This week's raffle prizes include

a flue brush (handy for the boiler-scrape)
six black plastic rubbish bags (ditto)
a small set of step ladders, hardly wonky at all (ditto again)
half a tin of Zebo (ditto again again)

[ladyalex]

RUles are kept in the Rule Book up the corridor, over the landing down the slope behind the door marked 'beware of the leopard'.

Hello, MM long time no see.

Uncle Joe is fine, Mamya has him well in hand...well the gardening ties help.

[lady-janine]

fan me, fan me, fan me. i must return to the club.

[nungate]

Excel, there are no rules per se, we all congregate here on a Saturday and just have a jolly old jape - sometimes we wander off into the realms of total absurdity or into another surreal dimension, other times it's just plain daffy!
My daughter thinks it's hilarious that I spend my Saturdays here, and often asks after the members and our daft little ways.

[ladyalex]

But you do not reveal all of our secrets, do you nungate ?

[DaisyNonna]

Excel, do come again next week. No intellect needed, mainly seems to be stream of consciousness. No rules apart from her ladyship and the ruffly thing. Just regard yourself as being at a party where no one is quite completely compos mentis. You will quickly learn our little quirks. Just say hello, accept a tailcock and allow yourself a wry smile occasionally.

[nungate]

zzzzzippp! (key splashing in moat)

our lips are sealed......

[lady-janine]

my compis has never been mentis i am very proud to say.

[ladyalex]

I am tired telling everyone...I just happen to be a lucky person...

[Mamyalynne]

I did try to explain it is just fun and banter , my daughters love to look too, the youngest has been known to show her face too (she is quite mad).

More tailcocks and salad for Milady.

[Meg]

Not happy, you will notice I have cancelled the DD as he seems to be well intregrated now, salads are superb!!

[ladyalex]

It will be the bailiffs round with your bill then, MM.

Salads are just 'to die for'

[DTCwordfan]

(it is indeed thundering and rolling here Lady J) - down in the moat at the moment; the croc wants to watch Engelbert Humperdinck fail miserably as he is in last place and the croc looks forward to a Euro-snack.....

[nungate]

Do you think it would have helped Excel if I told him that I keep my marbles in a jar?

[lady-janine]

last i saw of croc excel was having a bit of a cuddle

[excelsior-1]

her ladyship?
the ruffly thing?

am feeling embarrassed, angry and upset.

daisynonna .. this time next week i'll have gone away for nine days. driving over to friends house saturday .. flying out to spain for a week on sunday.

perhaps, as you have at least been kind enough to ask, i'll try to look in, in a couple of weeks and see if i can comprehend what goes on

[Meg]

Ha!! Think more social services and HMRC paying you a visit!!

[lady-janine]

nungate as we all have to put our marbles in the jar by the door when we arrive at the club how can those belonging to you be of concern?

[lady-janine]

Excel so glad you have enjoyed your visit.

[Meg]

Excel, lovely to see you, word of warning,do not leave any relatives or pets here, institution is un manned 6 days a week.

[nungate]

I can't count Lady J, so I often lose some.....
