Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Time once again for Nungate Towers to open the portals for the meeting of the AB Mad Over Fifties.
For tonight's extravaganza, we have the Hot Plate Special, a lovely hot and spicy Chilli con Carne, with rice and cornbread, and of course the customary nibbles, volly vonts and canopies. On the pudding trolley tonight we have a choice of Treacle sponge and custard, or Sherry Trifle (heavy on the sherry)
The tailcock of choice this evening will be the "Nungate Sling" an interesting variation on that classic, Singapore Sling (a particular favourite of mine) The Minstrels are back again in the Gallery and tonight they are returning to their usual offerings of Madrigals and toccattas, though later on they have promised to play for us their own take on the greatest hits Boxcar Willie - could be interesting as I thought something like that would require some antiseptic, however,...........
For your further entertainment, that wonderful pair of dancers, Clarke Ruffle Horrid and his delightful dance partner, Tessie Tura the Tottenham Twirler will be giving us a dance exhibition in the ballroom followed by one to one instruction for any member wishing to take their first steps into the Terpsichorian Art. Also on offer are donkey rides down by the lake, sad to say that there can be no rally car racing round the track tonight as we are awaiting the delivery of a new rally car, since Queenie managed to write one off doing hand brake turns and ended up having an argument with a tree (she lost, so did the car....)
So, the hot tub is bubbling away in the North Tower, the mini bar has been refilled, the bungee is ready for any unwise souls willing to jump, as always the bowling alley is primed and waiting. Igor has his chains all buffed and is standing by to welcome our guests.
Murraymints has sent her apologies, owing to an urgent family matter she will not be joining us this evening (the pink sparkly is being held by Belle in the Ladies Retiring Room awaiting her return).
Be assured a warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Carriages at midnight.

Mmmmmm, tell me more nungate.

[nungate]

All she does is girly Tony. She is very girly my daughter, unlike her old mum, my mum said I should have been a boy! Couldn't possibly say that about queenie

[queenofmean]

sometimes I wish I was a boy - ie 4am this morning

[tonyav]

Ah right nungate, a girly daughter and a Tom boy mom.

[nungate]

Now Tony is that question about Queenie or the upcoming summer programme?

In both instances I could not possibly comment. One, it would spoil the Summer surprise and Two, I have to live with Queenie she can be really crabby when she wants to, and she might not want all her secrets laid out on AB

[tonyav]

Right, got to pop out and pick up my daughter from work, back soon.

[tonyav]

No I mean't the maze nungate.

[Mammar]

Regretfully, the child that went up town for more pickling vinegar bought ordinary malt instead. Hey, Tone, can you get cars to run on unleaded malt vinegar?

[tonyav]

Thats a good idea Mammar, ask qom to give it a try in her Yellow Camaro lol.

[murraymints]

Dear nungate and Queenie,

Wonder what's in it for me ? Enough for a villa in the med perchance ?...poor Brenda is quite quite squashed and is being pumped up with various potions....a rather nice concoction which I swear contains best cognac..slurp.glug....Yes rather nice..here shove over Brenda !!...slurp..slurp..the staff say I can kip down..slurp..here for the night...soothe her brow and..hic..all that nursey stuff...no volly vonts here..but I can ..slurp..see a fruit bowl in a neighbouring bay...here this tailcock.I mean...slurp...medicine ain't half good....ere you ..hands off...no I DON'T want to put a gown on....hic..oi ..hands off the sparkly......Cath what ? you ain't sticking that there hen...no ..hic..way..nun be home...slurp...soon...watch tone....remind him to..hic.see to the goats.....Brenda ..Brenda..speak to me Brenda...

[nungate]

See you in a wee while then Tony.

The maze is out there in the grounds, beyond the lake near to the boat house. It is not lit at this time of year and there is no one at the entrance to assist those in difficulty so it would be unwise to enter at the present time.
Come those long summer evenings it will be an entirely different matter

[DaisyNonna]

Fear not Tony. I have the compass I bought at Bovington Tank Museum and if the rain clears I can find the Pole Star. We ladies are not completely useless. Will you carry the bucket?

[nungate]

Oh you are indeed a friend in need Minty. I do hope Brenda pulls through.
Take care of your pink sparkly (though we do have your spare here at the Towers) your pigeon was a little tired on his arrival but after a good drink and some pigeon nuts or whatever he perked up a bit, so I'm sending him back to you, make sure he has a good rest tonight

[Mammar]

I bow to Daisy's navigational skills. I just wind down the car window and bat my eyes at the nearest bloke to ask directions.
The child is full of custard and looking a little jaundiced round the gills. I pity anyone sitting near her on the plane on Monday.
I fear I must desert you all for now. If I win the nail tool in the roffle, kindly re-enter it next week. Pointless for someone like me who chews her nails :(

[nungate]

Good night then Mammar we'll hold onto whatever you win in the rofl.

[DaisyNonna]

Not many blokes about whenyou are on a broom.

[nungate]

perhaps a bigger broom Daisy, I'm sure there must be one which could accomodate yourself, Malkin and your "plus one" I bet Eric would love an evening off

[queenofmean]

toucha my car Tony, I breaka your feengers

[nungate]

Queenie! Threatening MY guests!! Take care Tony does not "box" your ears! assuming he can find some big enough!

[DaisyNonna]

No point in a bigger broom without the plus one. Given up in that area.
