Mad Over Fifties

[nungate]

Tonight's festivities at Nungate Towers are about to commence. Queenofmean has planned everything, from the menus to club activities and what a programme she has arranged (it's my Mother's day gift.....I think)
The Tailcock tonight will be "Mother's Touch" - light, warm and fruity, when you drink it feels like a hug! Scoff our resident chef is on compassionate leave and his place has been taken by his cousin Andre who has flown in from Paris specially to cater tonight's event! He has cooked a lovely Chicken Veronique, chicken strips in a luscious white wine sauce, studded with gorgeous green nuggets of deliciousness (grapes flown in from our vineyards in the southern hemisphere). As always we have a selection of volly vonts and canopies and on the pudding trolley, Andre has one of his specialities Gateau Petite Rose, a creamy confection of sponge, whipped cream laced with rose water and rose petals. The minstrels are warming up in the gallery, as always they will be playing a selection of madrigals and fugues and later on they have promised to give us their rendition of Showtunes, from the "Glums" to 42nd Street! As a special treat Queenie has arranged the Towers Triathalon! There will be a three legged race, (three laps around the Towers)
The "diddy" cycle (thirteen laps around the Towers) and finally the Swimming section - three laps in the moat whilst wearing a pink tutu! (Pink sparkly thongs are optional) So the hot tub is bubbling away, and the mini bar has been replenshed on the north tower, yet again we are still waiting for the elastic replacements for the bungee (I've been assured they will be installed on Monday) the games room and skittle lanes are also open.
For the rofl, Queenie has arranged a fruit basket (empty)
a silver bottle bag (also empty)
one silver candle (unused as it need a very
narrow holder.)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals......

[Mammar]

Oh Nungate! I am touched. Such an honour. Would you mind awfully if I had a little plaque made for it? I'll only blue tack it on so's not to spoil the paintwork.

[excelsior-1]

Your chocolate has been secured, Mammar

A very good night to you

[Mammar]

I shall sleep soundly tonight knowing that x x

[nungate]

Don't bother about it Mammar, there will be a little brass plaque on the door by next week. I know it adds more work for the staff but they don't mind really one more little brass plaque isn't too much on the labour front....

[excelsior-1]

I shall be happy to fund the plaque

Figure out the wording during the week, get it made & mounted and send me the bill

The unveiling ceremony can kick-off next weeks' MOFC evening

[nungate]

What a good idea Excel, an unveiling ceremony! It will add the certain touch to our next meeting.
As to your earlier question about the Easter weekend, not sure what's happening as best beloved has finally said he doesn't really want a celebration for his 60th (I was a child bride cough cough ) Queenie is working on him (I feel sorry for him)

[tonyav]

WOW nungate the big 60, I'm sure you could change his mind.

[nungate]

I could but if he agreed and really didn't want a "do" he'd sit about like a wet week. He can be a bit anti social, but unlike me he's a quiet soul, doesn't drink or smoke or chase women - he told me once women scare him but I terrify him! - not sure how to take that one! Generally we don't have much in common, but we do complement each other and we started out just as friends, he quietly chased me for years before I let him catch me when we finally started dating we were engaged in 3 weeks and married 6 months later, but we'd be friends for 10 years before getting romantically involved. All we had planned was a quiet evening in with a few friends nothing spectacular, but I think he'd prefer a trip out for dinner and the cinema!

[tonyav]

Good for you and Mr nungate, sounds like a happy marriage to me.
let him catch me lol, I like it nungate.

[lady-janine]

sorry i have not been able to join you all with your joliifications this evening but hope a good time was had by all. xxxx

[nungate]

It is happy despite all our ups and downs, I think it works so well be cause we actually like one and other, and we share the same warped sense of humour.
I think he simply wore me down or I just came to my senses - my brother told me after we got engaged that I'd been an idiot over Best beloved! Even my idiot brother could see he was perfect for me - I couldn't (always been a bit slow at certain things)

[excelsior-1]

Hello lady-janine

Come in for a quick drink?

[nungate]

Good evening Lady J, yes I think we could say we had a pleasant evening - well it was eventful. We had to postpone the triathlon because the floodlights went out (sabotage I think) but it was probably the best thing as it is a bitterly cold night. Then of course Spikey finding all those garments in his garden.................well enough said. Nice of you to pop in.

[tonyav]

Good evening lj, nice to see you.

Ah but nungate we all come to our senses in the end.

[nungate]

Most definitely Tony, some of us sooner rather than later..

[lady-janine]
