Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Welcome to Nungate Towers for the latest meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties Club.
After a very busy afternoon, we finally managed to get things ready in time.
Tonight's Tailcock is the "Clasico" (Barcelona 2, Real Madrid 1 whoop, whoop!) Colour me happy!
For tonight's Hot Plate Special we have chicken in a hot spicy tomato sauce. served on a bed of rice and on the pudding trolley there is a delicious sticky toffee pudding, served with custard or whipped cream (yum!)
Members will be pleased to know that our Igor has left the wheelchair behind him and now has a walking plaster and a crutch (alas he is still not permitted to wear his chains)
The hot tub is bubbling away on the north tower, the bungee is ready for bouncing (though I advise anyone using it to try to avoid the moat on the downward journey - the piranhas do bite!) Down in the dungeons, the indoor pool has had the heating turned up a little and there is a nice selection of cossies available for any member who didn't bring their own.
The Minstrels are in the gallery tuning up their usual selection of madrigals and fugues. Down in the grand ballroom, our favourite local band The Tone Deafs, is also warming up, tonight they have promised to play a selection of '60's classics.
There are roaring fires in the snug and also in the library, where members will find in addition to our vast collection of leather bound tomes, a good selection of magazines and periodicals, including the latest edition of The Arc Welder's Weekly Almanack.
For tonight's rofl, I offer
Best Beloved (he knows what he has done)
One bottle of frozen diet coke
Lady of Burlesque dvd (Barbara Stanwyck good film) faulty!
2 clips from a Beko dishwasher - broken
(been a heck of a week!)

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals


Carriages at midnight

[DaisyNonna]

Evening nungate. What a rotten night. Absolutely soaked. For the rifle I have a bottle of (rather thick) nail polish, Black Plum, a tube of slightly dry mascara, Midnight Blue and a lipstick stub, Dark Cherry.
Will hand them over when I climbed out of my storm trousers, top and galoshes.
Oh to be elegant! Gasping for a Clasico. What's the Striker like?

[nungate]

He was rather young! Good evening Daisy, you know I could have sent a carriage for you. Come and sit by the fire and get dried off, ah, here's Plant with a Clasico! (it was a good game though!)

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks nungate. Plant, you are a life-saver. No I don't mean those funny American sweets.

[nungate]

He has his moments Daisy. I dare say Igor will put in an appearance later

[Muzz]

Gosh, I'm soaked too! My paper bag full of tinsel is a bit soggy. Just a small glass for me, I'm only popping in for a minute. Here are some chipolatas... do pass them round

[DaisyNonna]

Oh good. I have missed him.
Is everything battened down in case a storm should strike on Monday?
Nearly ruptured myself moving the garden furniture. Hope my pots survive.

[DaisyNonna]

Hi Muzz, don't believe we have met. Lovely to make your acquaintance.
What a stupid expression!

[nungate]

Good Evening Muzz, do take a seat by the fire and dry off, Plant will be along in a moment with a Clasico for you.

I must admit we have been somewhat fortunate with the weather here today, been reasonably pleasant, thoug h I plan to go out and gather up all the plant pots and tubs and bring them in close to the house as I'm expecting some of the stormy weather but it might not be as bad as predicted for those of you south of the border. Make sure you have all battened down all your hatches - we wouldn't want any of you blown away!

[Muzz]

Charmed, I'm sure..... I came here a long time ago.... only passing through on this dark and windy night. Glad to see the fires are still roaring and the snug is still snug. Is that Monsieur Dupont I hear?

[Igor61]

Good evening Madame, would you like to sign my plaster?

Good evening to you ladies, I hope you haven't gotten too wet on your journey here

[nungate]

It's possible, the Tone Deafs are very big on the '60's classics .....

Good evening Igor, I should be glad to sign your plaster, as soon as I can find a pen .......

[Muzz]

I have a wee Bic in my bag...

[nungate]

not from Argos I hope? ;-) (personally I like the pencils from Ikea)

[DaisyNonna]

May I Igor?

[Muzz]

Ooh, how many Ikea pencils do I have?!! No, this is a nice Bic from..... a lovely lady at the Pound Shop, I didn't have a pound so had to write a cheque

[Igor61]

Of course you may Madame Daisy, here I have a pen stuck into my plaster, it's next to the knitting needle I borrowed from Nanny so I could scratch my leg when it itched

[nungate]

and they didn't ask for it back? I'm all astonishment! I'm also astonished that some shops still accept cheques!

[Muzz]

Apologies, gotta dash - I've got to go home to change all those bloomin' clocks. Thanks for the Clasico, I'll have a brandy when I get home. Have a lovely evening, all.

[nungate]

Good night Muzz - a short but sweet visit. You must come again

[DaisyNonna]

How kind of Nanny to lend it. Good job it wasn't a circular one. draws a witch on a broomstick blowing kisses That's how I sign cards to my grandchildren. Keep forgetting they can read.
