truffles....mmmmm please and a flagon in the Bards Carole Cup please.

I like the touch of the Hologram of Lady A up on the Tower Portcullis, hanging out. Nice touch.

[DaisyNonna]

Had to be side saddle.

[DTCwordfan]

In this weather, I am not surprised, hard to control a broom......but at least you miss the water hazards.

[nungate]

I thought we ought to acknowledge the great contribution of Lady A to the MOFC and the sterling work she did, if you take a peek at the South Tower there is a spectacular image of Mamyalynne and the dear butler is similarly spicked out in lights on the West Tower, and dotted all over the grounds are a few of the stalwarts, the croc and his cat, and the frog on his hook!

Ok the band is warming up and about to start with Sleigh Ride...who's up for a quickstep with me? Excel? DT?.....Mummy?

[nungate]

Side saddle! Just like the one legged jockey then Daisy. That is a feat indeed. Pencil type evening gown, on a broom, most impressive!

[excelsior-1]

i'd be honoured

[tonyav]

Evening all, is there a roffl tonight ?, anyway I've brought a few things just in case one tin of Quality Street full of empty wrappers[i one bottle of Barley Wine [i]can't stand the stuff] and a carburetor suitable for a 1957 Vauxhall Velox.

[DTCwordfan]

Excel is fleet of foot, me thinks.

What has happened to that puddie-cat. He just seems to be in cross-words now.

[DaisyNonna]

Did not want to let you down sartorially.

[queenofmean]

fabby do's Excel....lets take to the floor...*Excel sweeps Queenie off her feet*

[DTCwordfan]

Does a 1957 Velox need a carb. I remember my uncle breathing his brandy-sodden fumes straight in.....

[excelsior-1]

you are really quite nimble on your feet queen, my compliments

[queenofmean]

yes tony there is going to be a roffle, but anyone with a ticket may choose a prize

[DaisyNonna]

Tony, you didn't save me a purple one?

[queenofmean]

why thank you Excel :D

[excelsior-1]

ah. here comes the butler, he has placed your flowers in a vase and wants to know where to put them

[tonyav]

Thats why I took it of DT, they will run on anything.

[nungate]

Which puddie cat DT? Is it Max, the one in queenie's avatar? The one who lumped from a first floor window last Monday when her Dad forgot to clese the window of the cat's playroom and went walkabout for hours? Queenie was distraught! I found him and she had to climb a fence to retrieve him!
Stupid cat!
