Here we are again, another meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club! Welcome to Nungate Towers, one and all.
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "November Noggin" a lovely spicy brew - guaranteed "central heating" for this cold damp evening! On our menu tonight we have a rich hearty beef casserole with dumplings, as our hot plate special, on the pudding trolley we have plum duff and custard! Other treats for tonight are volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers!
Up in the gallery the Minstrels are currently playing pontoon but later on they will be regaling us with their usual selection of madrigals and fugues, down in the ballroom our favourite local band The Tone Deafs have joined with the Hotel Spendido Palm Court Orchestra to form a "supergroup" and they will be swinging along to the popular tunes from the "Swing" era! (pass me my bobby socks!) Meanwhile down in the Music room we have a special treat, the return of Flamenco Flo and her performing poodles!
Everybody dance now!!!
For the rofl tonight I have to offer:
set of broken lute strings (courtesy of the Minstrels)
1 cardboard box (empty but useful)
Spare set of chains (thank you Igor)
A warm welcome awaits all who enter these portals
carriages at midnight

I know, I wish we could turn back the clock a little and stop it!
Now the Christmas tins of sweets are the same price but there are less choccies in them too! (we had a box of celebrations at Queenie's get together for a "guess the number of sweet box") and there were only 83 in the box there were more in them last year!

Not a very sweet person. Cannot abide Turkish Delight or any chocolate with a cream filling.
Had a very nasty experience with a plate of liver and onions, Mammar.
My very first day of teaching. An ESN (as was) in Bradford. The staff were expected to eat with the pupils to encourage them to eat properly (ie with knife and fork). My table had 7 5 year olds. The liver was of a consistency not encountered before or since. The onions seem to have melted. The gravy was definitely grainy. Potatoes were smashed rather than mashed and the cabbage had been reduced to slime. So traumatised I have no idea what the pudding was. I did, however, manage not to throw up until the children had left the hall and I got to the loo.
