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.

lighten up mum...i'm just messing - and I'm the hormonal one :/

[nungate]

Well Daisy there is something nice about doing just as you please, not having to hurry back for someone, just being able to up and go whenever you want to, there is a sort of freedom in that, but it is nice to have someone simply to talk to at the end of a busy day - despite the fact that he is asleep and making me watch the Augusta Masters when I could have something else on!

[queenofmean]

tick tock tick tock....

[nungate]

never smile at a crocodile..... tick tock indeed! harummphh

[MyBlackHen]

The crocodile was responsible for the elephant's trunk being so long.

[queenofmean]

[MyBlackHen]

Old fairy tale, from my childhood.

Been alone too long. Creates selfishness. Would appreciate company in small doses. Good to share sights, sounds, ideas on holiday. Not going to happen.

[tonyav]

Hey whats going on with minty, I hear she's been called out on an emergency. Something to do with a errrrrm sick friend in Liverpool.
Yes Daisy a compass will do 1.

Good night Mammar.

[lady-janine]

a quick hello from me this evening. hope you are all havitinue to have a grand time. have to go now.

hugs and kisses to all. ((((xxx))))

[nungate]

wonder if he might give me a bit of a stretch there Blackhen, my problem being the fact that I am not overweight just under tall......

Welcome, haven't seen you around the Towers, do have a bucket of tonight's tailcock, a cheeky little brew if I say so myself...

[lady-janine]

sorry continue

[tonyav]

Hey lj, nice to see you even if it is a brief visit. xx

[MyBlackHen]

Well, I could do with a stretch too, I am not overweight by any means, just under tall.
Maybe we could club together for a bribe. :)

[MyBlackHen]

Never ventured here before, Nungate, I don't quite "get it".

[nungate]

Hail and farewell then Lady J.

I quite enjoy my periods of solitude Daisy, but as you say maybe not all the time - bit of a stretch from East Lothian to West Sussex otherwise.....
did you know Queenie always used refer to Sussex as "sockets" She'd love to go back down there for another visit, especially to a certain wall near the pier on the front at Eastbourne, every summer I'd take a photo of her and her Dad on this piece of wall .... have a whole series of them of her growing older - won't say growing up as she takes after me - growing older is compulsory, growing up is optional!

[queenofmean]

LOL

[DaisyNonna]

Ok Tony. Let's do the maze and then go for a donkey ride. My grandfather's family used to work the donkeys on the sands in Weston Super Mare. Always remember them and the ice cream cones with melted chocolate topping. And losing sight of the sea when the tide was out!

[DTCwordfan]

Hi all - how is every one......Hi MBH, you have to be mad every Saturday night that's all.....Nungate and QoM open up their palatial abode for food, wine, muzak, games, Igor, Minty's thong and fun.......

[nungate]

Let me elucidate then Blackhen. This is a place where we gather and just have a totally and utterly bonkers time! Anything goes, I come up with some sort of theme and other Abers join in and "run" with the basic idea. I took up hosting this thread when the originators of it decided to call it a day as they had other committments on Saturday evenings, my daughter (Queenofmean) suggested I give it a go and hey presto Nungate Towers! Accept the fact that you don't have to be mad to "get it" it certainly does help.
Glad you could join us in our madness.
