Time again for Nungate Towers to throw open it's doors and welcome all you Mad over fifties. Tonight we shall be having a bonfire party out in the courtyard with fireworks galore and a barbeque! Tonight's tailcock will be the Super sparkler, guarnteed to make your evening go with a bang! For those not inclined to venture outside we shall be serving a delicious Bonfire Hotpot in the Great Hall with the customary horses doovers, canopies and volly vonts
and on the pudding trolley is plum duff and custard, there is also a copious number of toffee apples available (the toffee apple harvest has been spectacularly good this year) As usual the Minstrels will be in the gallery playing their usual selection of madrigals and toccatas, and as an added bonus they will also be giving us as selection of Abba's Greatest Hits.
For the rofl tonight, I have 1 witches hat,

Did Igor give you your chips Tony? I know they were just delivered

[tonyav]

Oh yeah, I had forgotten about that DT, but I'm convinced that I'll get of with that !

[tonyav]

No nungate, I think qom has nicked them.

[DTCwordfan]

(i) flippantly - was Villa created back then?

(ii) Man U is less than half the distance from tenrecville to Brum......

(iii) useless info - know the origins of the name "Hearts" tony? or Heart of Midlothian as the team was known.

[DTCwordfan]

eee-ouch petal, no sleep before 3.30???? (unless it's shift work you do).

[tonyav]

Cheeky git DT, Villa have been around a lot longer than Man U.

Good evening everyone
Sorry I am late, I've been getting to know my way around this new toy.. Although I have not yet mastered cut & paste - nothing I do brings up the option.

For the baffle, I bring the following:-
The old (malfunctioning) notepad
A pork pie
Two bottles of guinness
A box file
A ream of yellow a4 sheets of paper
A picture of lexa doig

Show me to the drinks and food

[DTCwordfan]

(I know)

and what is the highest ground in the English and Scottish Leagues, highest being altitude.....

[DTCwordfan]

good to see you excel, sure some of the tecchies can help you out on that tomorrow over on tecchynology.

was in hospital 18 months ago,high BP/irregular heart beat,was not sleeping & usually bed by 9.30 pm,after my escape started going bed later & later,now a vampire as well as mad & over 500

[nungate]

There's a Heart of Midlothian in Edinburgh on the Royal Mile near St. Giles.
My Dad was a Hearts man, I was brought up right and loyally followed in Dad's footsteps until the club owner sacked the Manager who had led the team into the top spot in the league and were unbeaten! That was enough for me, then I saw a bright spot in Barcelona and they've had me since then. I must also add that Dad would be so disapointed in my brother, not only does he support Hibs so do his 2 sons!

[tonyav]

Evening excel,
For a guess I will say Inverness, DT.

[DTCwordfan]

over 500? what?

the vampire we can live with, petal! I think, but that's nungate and QoM's call.

[DTCwordfan]

closer to you..............

[nungate]

Well hello Excel - got to grips with your new "toy" yet? I didn't think you'd be able to join us this evening, it has been rather quiet around here.

I must get that rofl sorted out...................

[excelsior-1]

A good idea DT, thank you

[DTCwordfan]

Originally the Heart of Midlothian was the Edinburgh main prison and it was the prison team.............

[DTCwordfan]

tony is now googling like crazy

[nungate]

Just up from the Heart is a sort of brass cross - the site of the gallows!

[DTCwordfan]

which is why Edinburgh residents don't like to hang out there.

I remember visits to the Gravediggers for rugby matches pre and post match - a bit of a schlep from Murrayfield but well worth it for their two offerings of 90 shilling and scotch, the only two things served on match day and a very fine gallon one could put away.
