Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Welcome all Mad over Fifties to the hallowed halls of Nungate Towers. Tonight's tailcock is the "Ding a Ling" a concoction of a few spirits and fruit nectars with a berry chucked in to add that certain "je ne sais quoi" The offering on tonights hotplate is a chicken casserole with herby dumplings (rolled by these fair hands!) also on offer are our usual tasty selection of volly vonts, canopies and other delightful nibbles. Our pudding trolley tonight is groaning under the weight of Knickerbocker Glories (we've had trouble finding original knickerbockers but we found them nonetheless) The Minstrels are already in the gallery tuning up and getting ready with the usual selection of madrigals and toccattas, later on they plan to regale us all with their favourite songs by Bessie Smith, I, myself am particularly looking forward to hearing "Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer" echoing within these walls! The hot tub is gently bubbling away on the North Tower, the mini bar has (again) been replenished, sadly the bungee on the South Tower is still awaiting new elastics (having trouble obtaining the right strength of elastic) However, we have again opened up the bowling alley in the dungeons (Sir Cumference is looking forward to some company this evening) and the games room has also been furnished with a variety of games for your amusements - I have the tiddlywinks table booked for 9.30.................
For the rofl I offer a years back issues of The Lady magazine
Ten years back issues of the Speedway Star,
a dozen odd socks
a variety of chipped or broken china
(yes we've been having a clear out)

The warmest of welcomes is assured for all who dare enter these Towers

Carriages at midnight

i look forward to seeing her

Evening Tony. No hammer. Got a screw driver. What do I do with it? What is the weight of a hammer and the length of a tie? Apparently questions used to help diagnose dementia. Whoever thought up those obviously have it themselves.
Nungate, for the rifle I have 2 empty Pringles tubes, an ice cube tray and two 13 amp fuses.
A dig a ling would be much appreciated.

[nungate]

Aw shucks Excel, ( blushes )

[excelsior-1]

what is the weight of a hammer & the length of a tie? .... a crowbar

[nungate]

What has the weight of a hammer to do with diagnosing dementia Daisy? That's too weird! I doubt my old mum would have been able to answer that one if they had asked her that when she was diagnosed......
How were the flying conditions tonight? It's been lovely here today, in fact all week, I feel positively "springy"

[DaisyNonna]

Do not need a quiet place, need some company and fun!

[excelsior-1]

then please feel free to join me in the hot tub, Daisy

[tonyav]

Mmmmm the weight of an hammer would depend upon the type, also how much force is behind the hammering wouldn't it.

[DaisyNonna]

Ooh! Do we take our drinks with us? Bubbles?

[excelsior-1]

of course.

would you be so mind as to bring me another knickerbocker glory with you?

[excelsior-1]

'mind'?

kind

[tonyav]

Yeah so do I nungate springy and the weather forecast for my area ( West Mids) is looking good for a few more days yet.

[nungate]

Speaking for myself, I have several hammers, which one would they want the weight of? (I have my very own tool box!)

[excelsior-1]

i say ... the minstrels are sounding good this evening
do they honour requests?

[tonyav]

You have your own toolbox nungate, what do you have in it ?.
Can I have one of those Knickerbocker glory's please but without the knicker.

[nungate]

Possibly Excel, (depends on how much beer you use as a bribe), for myself I'm looking forward to the Bessie Smith songbook, an my favourite, "Gimme a pigfoot etc.."


She's ba-aack!

[DaisyNonna]

I can be kind. I can mind. I can also find another knickerbocker glory. Just let me put my cossie on. Rather like the halter neck. What do you think about the colour?

[nungate]

I'll have Igor fish out the knickers Tony. Which toolbox would that be? I have one for all my sewing/needlework stuff, and my small box with my papercrafting stuff in or my big yellow one, with hammers, chisels, a small plane, screwdrivers, nails, screws, fuses, and all the other gubbins that I need around the house - best beloved (bless his heart) is more or less useless at the old d.i.y so I do what needs doing - mind you these days he acts as my "hands" as I can't manage a lot of stuff with the arthritis so I tell him what needs doing and explain things and he follows directions very well (my dad was a joiner and I always helped him, hence my toolbox..)

[tonyav]

I think a Bikini would suit Daisy.

[nungate]

Ooh Daisy, it matches your eyes! What a trim figure too - I'm built along more "stately" lines myself
