Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to the Annual Mad Over Fifties Club Christmas Ball
Nungate Towers is bedecked with Fairy Lights, the fires are lit in the hearths, tables are groaning with food and drinks! All that is missing is our members!
For our feast tonight Scoff the Chef has excelled himself! Roast Beef, Roast Turkey, Roast Pork and a haunch of Venison, will all the trimmings.
On the pudding trolley our patissier has also excelled himself! Opera Cake, Sherry Trifle, Ice Cream Sundaes, Christmas Pudding and Tiramisu (with a festive twist!) Of course there will be an even larger selection of volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers not to mention a plethora of other festive nibbles!
Our Tailcock for this evening is Merry Mistletoe, and just for tonight the Tapster has brewed a special Christmas Ball Ale, and has a delicious mulled wine punch
Playing in the ballroom is the Muckleflugga and District Concert Orchestra, famous throughout two counties! Also playing in the Great Hall is DJ 49 for those wishing to throw some shapes! Down in the Entry Hall, the Minstrels will be joined by our local Choir for some Christmas Carol singing around the Christmas tree.
Igor has polished his "special" chains they sparkle just like the fairy lights!
Sir Cumference has donned his white tie and tails and will be joining in the
fun in the ballroom.
As tonight is a special night there won't be a rofl, but everyone will be leaving with a party bag! Who knows, maybe even a visit from Santa himself!
So come along and join in the fun, a warm welcome awaits all who enter these portals tonight.

Thank you Igor, I think that might be a good idea...

[DTCwordfan]

A bouquet for moi too, Igor si vous plait....

[Igor61]

but of course DT sir, one bucket for you

[DTCwordfan]

Merci buckets, Igor....

[DaisyNonna]

Nun, have you read The Kashmir Shawl by Rosie Thomas? You should if you collect pashminas. Good read too.
Admit Pasha Kovalev is scrumptious.
They were high ranking Turkish.

[DaisyNonna]

Will look for your communication nun.

[tonyav]

They were high ranking Turkish.

Yes, oval in shape if I remember correctly, Daisy.

[nungate]

No haven't read that book, but I think I read a review of it in the Lady

I can only state that the little Russian Pasha is very popular in this house (Queenie is a bit partial ..... )

[DaisyNonna]

Not Passing Clouds Tony.

[tonyav]

Mmmmm, could have been, Daisy.

[DTCwordfan]

I am going to retire, me thinks, having risen ninety minutes too early this morning! Many thanks to all at the Towers and a happy festive season to all those that I don't see on here, or by the tom-tom of e-mail before Wednesday...

[polar-bear]

Hello all, long time no see.

[nungate]

Good night then DT, sleep well.

In case I forget, I wish you a very Happy Christmas

[tonyav]

G'night, DT.


Hello, polar-bear, could I park the berg for you ?.

[nungate]

Well I'll go to the foot of our stair! Polar Bear as I live and breathe. I was thinking about you the other day, thinking it had been a while since we'd seen you at the Towers, and lo and behold, there you are! Have you parked the 'berg safely?
Care for a tailcock? Igor will be with you shortly

[Igor61]

Madame, I have the drinks as you requested for Madame Polar Bear

[DTCwordfan]

I'll just say 'Hi Polar' - really nice to see you on here again. The ice must have drifted south.

[polar-bear]

It is good to be back. You can park the berg Tony but be careful with it. It has just had a major service and MOT. I would love a drink and something to eat.

[nungate]

Well, as you can see PB we have a vast array of goodies to choose from tonight, please help yourself

[DaisyNonna]

Must admit to secretly pashing on Mark Ramprakash
