Another Saturday night and Nungate Towers has opened its doors to welcome all Mad over Fifties.
What delights have we in store this evening? Well tonight's Tailcock comes to you courtesy of Igor (our faithfull ancient retainer) who has invented a drink all on his own (he got into the Tapsters bar supplies it would seem) Igors' Chain he calls it! A lively and interesting (not to mention potent) brew of Peach schnapps, a few other spirits and fruity delights known only to Igor who refuses to divulge the exact ingredients! Queenofmean has insisted that tonight's hot plate is my meatballs in red wine with pasta, and continuing the Italian theme on the pudding trolley is a wonderful creamy tiramisu, naturally we also have on offer the cutomary selection of horses doovers (can I reiterate they did NOT come from Tesco!) and volly vonts.
Tonight we have drafted in our local band the Tone Deafs to provide the music for our revelries - I have given the Minstrels the evening off so they can attend the annual Minstrel convention on Muckleflugga.
As always, bungee jumping is available from the south tower, the hot tub is all fired up and bubbling on the north tower, the Tapster has set up the bar in the Great Hall so let our revelries commence!
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
A canoe with a hole in it
An old oar (no tony, not an old ***)
A rollock with no ock
One spinnaker with a hole in it
One mainsail shredded
One udder rudder
One shackle, no pin
One mainstay
One dog dish with a hole in it
One billiard cue no tip.
One paper clip and a pin.
Listen queenie, I don't buy all the juice that comes in the front door! Besides your Daddy dearest has been buying the Irn Bru of late and knowing you I wouldn't put it past you to "borrow" some if his (the way you "borrow" my diet coke....)
Shame about that er, snowman Mammar, maybe we could put him in the freezer and reassemble him at a later date...
Good evening your nungateship and everyone else who is either here or is gonna be here later. A bucket of Igors ' Chain if you please Igor, hang on who's nicked my bucket ?.
For the roffle I have bought one window screen ( slightly cracked ) suitable for a 1974 Jenson Interceptor one toilet flush valve ( broken ) and one ninty degree 15mm compression joint corners on the nuts rounded off.
Also I'm sorry to be late again but I had to drop No 2 daughter and her friend of at the Holiday Inn for a post Christmas party !.
nun...your horses doovers are lovely and the volly vonts are to die for...maybe not a good idea to use the d word..bearing in mind we are going to jump from a great height with a lackey band on our ankles later...Sqad IS coming with his little black bad isn't he ? just in case....
Don't worry about being late Tony, everyone was..................a Jensen?
Those cars always looked soooo good!
Your bucket is being brought up from the silver vault as I write....
D'you know, I've just realised why I couldn't find you earlier - I was looking in Chatterbank, not brain teasers.
P'raps it's just the strength of the tailcock. I seem to be feeling a bit like Minty did last week.
TONE...!!!! bags the slow smoochie one later...Got your cossie for the hot tub ?....Got my pink sparkles on......we are going to have such fun tonight.....
We have Nanny on standby in case of accidents Minty, no need to bother Sqad. New elastics were put onto the bungee recently, and we also provide crash helmets and a full safety talk will be given before any jumps
Yes nungate a beautiful car indeed and very powerful, 7.2 litre Chrysler V8 engine.
Unfortunately all I have left is the said window screen, the rest of the car fell apart into a pile of rust.
Actually I don't drink as much as I used to DT....I drink 2 or 3 cans a day plus say 2-3 glasses a night. It all depends on my sugars too, if I'm too high can easily polish off about a litre. I can't cope without the caffeine though so I need a bit of that to get through my day.
