Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open


Welcome one and all, old and older, mad and madder to our delightful club.

We have been experiencing some difficulties here at the Club HQ with the electrical apparatus , notably the light switches. The only explanation given so far by the electrical tradesman is 'gremlins'.
Consequently, members are warned to be very careful with water this week.


So far for the raffle we have :

1 sporran (badger head still relatively intact)
4 brass buttons (in need of polish)
a tube of fruit gums (only orange ones )

[flump1]

Good evening all, how lovely to see you.
For the waffle I have a barrow ( twas a wheel barrow but the wheel fell off )
a bottle of Stones ginger wine, ( unopened)
a Des O'Conner album.
I have worn my poncho this evening as it is blooming cold, and a flagon of Zoom would be great.

[tonyav]

Your Ladyship could you please ask matron to be gentle as I am suffering with nettle rash.

[Mamyalynne]

Form an orderly queue outside my consulting cubicle boys and girls.

[Mamyalynne]

Cool and practised hands Tony, never fear.

[Lie-in King]

Good evening, miss flump - it's nice & warm in here so I'll nab your poncho for this flagon of Zoom - it will be well cared for as always

[ladyalex]

I think the gremlins are best left where they are, excel....you never know what some foolish person might do to them.

Welcome flump, agree it is cold. Fortunately the fire has been banked up, so draw your settle closer and warm up.

Hope I win the ginger wine too...I like the odd whisky mac.

[Lie-in King]

Is Mac up & about again, m'lady?

[ladyalex]

Wonderful Ode, as per DT.

Does the Poet Laureate Office know about you ?

[ladyalex]

Mac hasn't left his bed since the old queen died.

[Mamyalynne]

oooh just rooted thru my reticule and found a head gasket set for a 1970 Humber Sceptre, that can go in the wiffle too.

[DTCwordfan]

It is but one of two or three MiLady, me thinks not but the Laureate Betjeman is buried not too far from here....

[Mamyalynne]

The Queen is dead!! Oh my goodness pass me a Zoom.

[tonyav]

Lie-in-King, would it be possible for me to part take in a bucket of tailcock please and would you mind hiding my old army great coat if you don't mind.

[Lie-in King]

Sigh... Any excuse, eh Matron? One flagon of Zoom.

[ladyalex]

The old queen , I said, Mamya, the old queen. Not QE2

[flump1]

Thank you LiK the Zoom is most delightful. I shall wander over to the sideboard for a morsel in a moment.

[Lie-in King]

Nice to see someone opting for the larger sized serving, sir - your bucket.

I'm sure miss flump's poncho will be delighted to make a new acquaintance in the coat cranny...

[DTCwordfan]

and a bard's bucket for me too, my buttle....

[Mamyalynne]

Good grief, had me in a tizz there - gulp, thank you Maj.

[Lie-in King]

Certainly sir - I took the liberty of having this silver (coloured) bucket inscribed "The World's Best Bard's Bucket", to prevent unauthorised sippage...
