Mad Over Fifties Club
208 Answers
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.

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

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

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 :(
