Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers.
Time for all members of the Mad Over Fifties Club to congregate and make merry!
Our tailcock for tonight is Mojito Madness! For our Hot Plate Special a delicious Steak Pie with lashings of gravy and creamy mash with carrots and peas - mmm.... and on the pudding trolley there is an apple and blackberry crumble and custard (cream is available) of course there are our customary volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers!
Playing in the gallery are the Minstrels with the usual madrigals and fugues.
Down in the ballroom The Tone Deafs with a delightful selection of '60's covers!
There are roaring fires in the library, and also in the snug where any member wishing a bit of quiet can make themselves comfortable and where a nice tray of refreshments awaits. Our huge library is open all members, and as well as the vast array of books we have a nice selection of all magazines and periodicals, I do believe the latest issue of
The Wheeltappers Gazette has just arrived! Up in the North Tower the
hot tub is bubbling away, the mini bar has been well stocked. The bungee is primed and ready for use, the indoor pool is also ready (cossies are ready for those who forgot to bring one)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

a sales freeze apparently.....

[nungate]

effective ....

[tonyav]

Anything to do with Black Friday, DT.

[DTCwordfan]

Was that the taxi that I took - at least it wasn't a Black Maria.

[Psybbo]

Hi DTC, good gin enjoy

[tonyav]

Ah, I had a brief love affair with Black Maria only lasted until we got to the cop shop though !.

[DTCwordfan]

a wee Tanqueray, Sibs...

The Captain of the Exxon Valdez was heard to say, "Not an effing Tanker on the rocks, you berk, I said a Tanqueray on the rocks."

[Psybbo]

Night all xx

[DTCwordfan]

Night Sibs...need a chariot ce soir?

[nungate]

DT, on the subject of gin, have I mentioned that there is a new "still" in town? You can buy North Berwick Gin! There was a piece in the local paper recently about it (very small operation yet) and the gin is on sale locally. Was over in North Berwick this afternoon and one of the shops there stocks it 0me to think of it our local wine shop has it too.

[nungate]

Good night Sibs, I shall tell Queenie you were asking after her when she comes home tomorrow

[DaisyNonna]

Gremlins having fun tonight. Difficulty reaching you earlier. Microwave sulked for half an hour. Just been told not connected to Home Hub!
Carrier pigeon anybody?

[DTCwordfan]

Now how did I miss that, Nungate...

[nungate]

Have much the same problem with our home hub Daisy - I've often found a well placed kick to be very effective (be it on machinery or men .... though the threat of a kick seems to be most effective)

[tonyav]

Good night, Psybbo.

Daisy give the reset button on the home hub a push.

[nungate]

It was only a few weeks ago, maybe they weren't ready to launch when you had your break up here

[DaisyNonna]

Tried that Tony. Rarely works. Found turning Lap top off, swearing at it and telling it I am not going to play any more usually does the trick.

[DaisyNonna]

Christmas Ball? How exciting. Not the 14th I hope.

[tonyav]

Ah right, you trick it into behaving then, Daisy.

Yeah, a Christmas ball sounds good.

[nungate]

Daisy, Have I mentioned how to keep gremlins at bay? Just fill an empty jam jar with all sorts of shiny things, shiny buttons, washers old coins anything that shines and place it by the appliance you want to protect and the gremlins should be distracted by all those nice shiny things and leave your gadgets in peace (I have filled a jar with all my marbles so that I know where they are if I lose them)
