As her Ladyship is absent, currently attending the dear Dowager Aunt, it falls to me once more the throw open the portcullis and welcome you all.
The international theme for the buffet continues with savouries once more from all continents with the addition of a sweets trolley - Belgian Buns, Danish Pastries, Chorley and Eccles Cakes and a Croquembouche par excellence!
The tailcock tonight is Dorney Dazzle - a lively , spirited and winning tipple.
For the Rofl:
One and a half oars.
Tennis racquet( minus strings)
set of running spikes
pair of leg warmers (lime green)
Good evening Matron & guests. For the rofl I can offer -
A large sheet of unpopped bubble wrap
Telescope that only makes things look further away
All the noisy "little darlings" belonging to the neighbours Grrrrrrr...
I shall begin serving tailcocks and generally buttling immediately.
good evening Mamya and all attending this Super Saturday at the Castle Olympics.
Riffles:
One leg of Ennis's shorts, the other torn by the tip of her javelin
One bucket of sand from the long jump
One broken rowing boat seat for those into that sort of thing
One starter's gun
One box of weevil Cuban cigars
One form for refugee immigration
One pot of white track paint (for the Moat)
One broken bicycle - tainted and marked GB
One pair of Hoy's socks - make good leg warmers
One bucket, marked "Extinguish Olympic Flame"
One pair of cracked glasses, etched "Last place in Road Cycling"
Good evening your matronship and maj, for the roffle I have 3 big end bearings suitable for a 1965 Hilman Imp, 5 running shoes ( minus the laces ) a pack of cards ( minus the picture cards ).
May I partake in a bucket of that fine tailcock the Dorney Dazzle if you please.
Your matronship could i please request Maurice Williams, Being without you. On your good night thread later tia.
Is that fresh lemon juice, absinthe, raspberry vinegar and a soupconne of Marmite I detect in there, Mamya, served over the finest Polar bear Ice and Moat weed for garnish - far beats that Mint stuff.
Evening both. Do excuse my multi-tasking, cooking dinner, having a drink, watching the Olympics and actually breathing.
For the rifle I have a bowl of cherries (life is), a tube of silver glitter, a red plastic dragon and a key to je ne sais pas.
A Dorney Dazzle sounds just the pip! Rowers and scullers have such beautiful thighs.
Eric would like to visit the croc. Summer cloak (Thistledown, what was her mother thinking?) is rather shy, please your Maj, treat her gently.
Hello one and all! My apologies for absence lately - I have been helping aged mother in the Midlands more frequently, and also attending Prom concerts in London. (I know which I prefer!)
For the rafl I could offer a knitted doughnut, a leaky groundsheet and a return rail ticket to Burton-on-Trent (for last Wednesday).
I am in desperate need of a tailcock please, your kingship!
Good evening Mamya and guests.
Please forgive me if I pop in and straight out.
I have developed a very strange visual problem and am finding it difficult to focus.
I`m sure it will soon clear and I will return for some tailcocks.
