146 Answers
Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club. All here at the Towers hope everyone had a lovely Christmas, and are all set for the usual mayhem and madness which marks our weekly meetings.
On the menu tonight, there will be the usual selection of volly vonts and horses doovers, the hot plate special will be a massive Paella, and on the pudding trolley, a Crema Catalana - in keeping with the Spanish theme, tonight's Tailcock will be the "Barca Blaugrana" a bi-coloured drink featuring the colours of our beloved Barcelona FC - an intriguing mix of Blue Curacao and Cherry Brandy plus a "secret mix of ingredients"
For the rofl I offer: a box of Christmas wrapping (used) plus tags
a festive sweater
roll of sticky tape
half a Christmas pud (minus custard)
The Minstrels will be back in the gallery playing (very quietly they are all still in recovery from the Festivities of last week) madrigals and lullabies, hopefully they will be able later to give us their take on the greatest hits of Iron Maiden
Igor and the rest of the staff await your pleasure, a warm welcome to all who dare enter these hallowed halls
Carriages at midnight

alba, not a masochist, a lifelong supporter. Started watching behind the goal when it cost 1 shilling to go in the boys' entrance. (Were girls then honorary boys?) Saw them win the F.A.Cup. Got to hold a cup winner's medal. Was there when they wre relegated. Still got my claret and blue socks which I wore playing hockey.
nungate....the boy is the same in our household....i always do long weekends (two 14 hour days) plus the house and an msc on top! he moans at working 14 hours a week, bless him. although he works in a super-marche (been there, done that) and wouldn't really wish the great british public on anyone in a shop! the only thing worse is working in a restaurant (people turn into Mangetouts when they are out eating) x
The young today seem to have no stamina Icg. I remember when I first started working I worked 9-5 five days and a Saturday and Sunday in my auntie's shop - and I had to travel into Edinburgh for work! I doubt
Queenie could cope with that nor the overtime we occasionally did as well, the first time I worked late my dear old Dad called the office looking for me as I wasn't home by 7.30 in the evening - he thought I should have been home from work by that time - I actually went home on the last bus at 10.40 that night! He got used to me coming in late from work after that! I dread to think what she'd be like if she put in the hours we did! I retired a few years back because of arthritis which is fine, but the only thing wrong with retirement is that there's no days off..............
