Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

A warm welcome to all who dare enter Nungate Towers this evening, we plan an evening full of delight and deliciousness for all. Tonight's tailcock will be the "Aurora Borealis" in honour of the widespread sightings of the Northern lights this week - guaranteed to "light" up our festivities. Also on offer is the customary selection of volly vonts and canapes, Scoff has excelled himself with tonight's hot plate - Toad in the Hole with onion gravy
(real toads of course) also on offer lentil soup and bread rolls, there will also be vegetarian dishes on offer, nut roast or bean burgers. On the pudding trolley apple dumplings and custard and sugared mice (freshly caught by the Towers cats)
Yet again the Minstrels will be in the gallery to play a selection of madrigals and fugues and tonight as a special treat they will be joined by local band "The Tone Deafs" in a selection of barber shop favourites. Bungee jumping is also available for those brave souls (weather permitting) and the Muckleflugga Fisherman's Choral Society will be performing a selection of sea shanties and lullabies in the music room.
The Great Hall sack race for the Towers saucer will be held later tonight, all wishing to enter are requested to enter their name on the form on the console table in the vestibule.
The offering for tonight's rofl includes a skein of tangled wool (the cats again) 1 fish tank filter (used) and half completed Times crossword from January 1947.
Carriages have been ordered for midnight

Can't join you tonight...sadly must keep grip on reality but have to share my joke of the week. It's about the three stages of rumpty in marriage. First years it's kitchen rumpty when you're doing it everywhere then it's bedroom rumpty, confined to..... then the next stage is hall rumpty when you pass each other in the hall & say f u apologies, forgot myself there.....rumpty you! what about a quick straw poll /pole?

What have you been doing to yourself Excel? Please tell me you're not becoming as accident prone as Queenofmean? Now there's an accident that's waiting to happen..................

[queenofmean]

*wonders who at Nungate Towers who can hear the distant rumble of an engine*

[excelsior-1]

just a silly slip.
missed footing stepping off a kerb outside the building, twisted left ankle and went down hard on the right knee .. scraping a layer of skin off the right arm on a barrier on the way down.

felt very embarrassed.

[queenofmean]

I was an accident that happened!!

[nungate]

Sssssshhhh! Must you tell everyone that you are the original "accident"

Sheesh, talk about a blabbermouth!
