Greetings to all members of the Mad Over Fifties Club as we all gather again for our weekly meeting.
Tonight Nungate Towers is pleased to offer you a wonderful Tailcock, The Nungate Noggin, a potent brew indeed! Our hot plate special tonight is my own recipe Steak Pie with all the usual trimmings (creamy mash, peas etc.) and on the pudding trolley a wonderful Lemon Meringue Pie and of course there will be the usual selection of volly vonts, and horses doovers.
For your delight and entertainment, the Minstrels will again be gracing the Gallery playing Madrigals and Toccattas, and as the meeting gets into full swing they will give their very own rendition of the Greatest Hits of the Bonzo Dog Doodah Band.............. Furthermore we have engaged the services of the Arctic Wrestling Federation who have promised us an exciting
few bouts of polar bear wrestling and walrus wanging! Such fun!
The Towers Offers for tonight's rofl:
a box of broken fairy lights
half a carton of buttered brazil nuts
a dozen mince pies (use by 10th December)
Queenie's old laptop (dead as the proverbial!)
Who knows what further delights are to be had this fine evening......Queenofmean has agreed to be the main hostess this evening as I have a few domestic chores to attend to but have no fear I shall be making an appearance as soon as I have organised the staff!
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter ....................

[tonyav]

Whats the problem with your fish tank qom ?.

[DaisyNonna]

Used tu buy them for Bonfire Night, along with spaklers. Now illegal. Burn different colours.

[nungate]

Sorry Tony she's stepped out for a minute - you folks have worn her out!!
Youngsters these days - no stamina!

The fish tank was a nice tank but the bulb went and couldn't be replaced then the pump went and she was given a replacement, which only worked when it wanted to - usually when the tank was being emptied! I'm sort of glad she can't get some more ish just yet as it is rather nice tto have the use of my table back!

[queenofmean]

Well within a few months of getting it the light went, then the filter, so I went back to enquire and because I was unable to get the tank back to them, they gave me a replacement filter which was also very naff and never worked much with the water in the tank. I'm going to use it for other purposes now though :)

[queenofmean]

I think nungate has been at he Noggin lol - what is an ish when its at home?

[tonyav]

What are you going to do with it then qom ?.
Yes I remember those matches Daisy, didn't know they were called Bengal matches though.

[queenofmean]

I think I might have a stab at growing some ferns in it

[excelsior-1]

how about using it as a vivarium, and having small reptiles, amphibians or insects?

[tonyav]

Why ferns qom ?.

[DTCwordfan]

I didn't know that you could grow a Fern Britton in a tank......the things you learn here.

[tonyav]

Need to be a bloody big tank DT.

[nungate]

I'll give you "what's an ish when it's at home?" I'm busy doing "stuff" and you're meant to be looking after my guests! And you spend your time dissing me........................I'll get you my pretty and your little cats too!!!!
