On Tonight's hotplate, Scoff has assembled wonderful beef olives with a creamy mash and a selection of vegetable accompaniments, and on the pudding trolley we have Treacle Tart with lashings of proper custard. Also available are the usual selection of horses doovers, voly vonts and canopies.
Tonight's entertainment will of course be the Towers Minstrels playing the usual Madrigals and Toccatas, they will also be joined later by the local band the Tone Deafs in a tribute to the Kinks greatest hits. As a special treat the Bulstrode Belles will be giving a demonstration of belly dancing in the conservatory.

[nungate]

Good evening Excel, I do hope you are well. Now are you certain about the count of those gravy granules? Wouldn't want to have the Trading Standards people out.
Care for a Silly Sailor?
IGOR, Igor a drink for our guest

[excelsior-1]

Thank you.
The count is accurate - i spent hours and hours with a pair of tweezers.
It is good to be here, gracious hostess .. Is your lovely daughter putting in an appearance this evening?

[nungate]

Not too sure about an appearance from herself this evening - she says she's tired - this comes from watching dvd's into the small hours...........

Delighted to hear the count is accurate.

Goodnight to all......in fact, I thought Nungate Towers would be closed, or at least dressed in black tonight, owing to THE EVENT.

I have put on my black tonight, head to foot, the cape and brought for the Rofl:

1 black, cracked, snooker ball.
1 black egg
1 black chicken
1 black fuse wire
1 black can of paint 3/4 used.
1 black spider called White
1 tar-brush, black of course
1 copy of black poems, ed - not sure but some guy called Conrad Black
1 black tyre, no thread (like half of AB)
1 book of black humour, 2/3rds of the jokes censored by B00.

Now the black treacle tart tempts, I must say, and is the Silly Sailor black? or is that not pc (partly coloured)?

[excelsior-1]

Also .. They are garlic granules, not gravy granules.

[excelsior-1]

'the event'?

[DTCwordfan]

Just tell her excel has darkened Nungate Tower doors and she will be down in a flash, after all excel is her true love.......

[tonyav]

Good evening maam and all that are here and still to come. For the roffle may I offer two 13 amp fuses blown[i a hula hoop, one errm carefull owner [i]gness] and a gob stopper, only half sucked.
A bucket of the ''Silly Sailor '' for me, if you please maam.

[DTCwordfan]

The EVENT - Nungate must have been in mourning mid-week.

[excelsior-1]

I'll ask again .......
......'the event'?

[DaisyNonna]

Good evening. The hot tub sounds bliss. Was on Granny Duty last weekend so missed you all. All too generous family shared their cold with me. First for 4 years. Ache all over. Do I need to go home to fetch my cossie?
For the rifle I have brought a quarter pound bag of mint humbugs, a nearly out of date rail ticket to Bournemouth, a dead mouse (not rodent) and a box of tissues.

[tonyav]

Something to do with the sailor I think, excel.

[nungate]

I'm putting a very brave face on things DT. Though I am clad in deathly black.

The "event" Excel was my beloved Barca's defeat to Celtic the other evening. Owing to a lousy defence - we've had so many injuries to the back four this season that it's a miracle we are unbeaten in La Liga and top of the table.

[tonyav]

Yes you will be needing your cossie, Daisy.

[DTCwordfan]

Attissssshoooo - Bless you Daisy - sorry to hear about the whiffle that you have picked up....

Note its been 5 mins since I entered, excel, and nungate doesn't like the reminder or gloating!

[excelsior-1]

Oh right .. Thanks. I do not follow football.
Hello daisy and tony

[tonyav]

nungate, my team lost earlier 3 -2 after being 2 nil up :-(

[DTCwordfan]

Aaah - there you are, my dear, a ghostly green and white shade of your normal self, however it is brave of you to be on your feet and offering hostilipaty on this occasion.

[tonyav]

Well DT, even Rod Stewart was crying !
