Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Our Tailcock tonight will be the "Supervolcano" something hot and spicy to warm the cockles on a cold January night. Something else to warm the heart and stomach is tonight's Hot Plate Special, a delicious Chicken casserole with herby dumplings, mm yum!! On the pudding trolley, we have a lovely Lemon and Sultana Steamed pudding with lashings of custard or whipped cream, and as always there will be the usual selection of volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers, and, also a choice of other delicious nibbles.
For those brave (or foolhardy souls) the bungee is in full working order (try and aim away from the moat one of these days I must have it re-sited [i
as it is common knowledge that the piranhas in the moat bite! The hot tub on top of the North Tower is bubbling away nicely, and the mini bar up there is fully stocked. In the Great Hall Gallery, the Minstrels are warming up to give their customary selection of madrigals and toccattas [i] it must be nearly time for time for them to go off on their tour of Muckelflugga - can't come soon enough [i] and they have also promised to perform their own versions of the greatest hits of Alice Cooper ............... mm fairy 'nuff. However, we have also engaged the services of a folk singing trio known hereabouts as the Four Sheepherders, they sing in a traditional manner (one hand over the ear and Arran sweaters all round) somewhat akin to the famed songs of that great of yester year Rambling Sid Rumpo ..... [i] cough ]

I have a few things on offer for tonight's rofl:
2 tins of Quality Street (empty of their contents, Thank you Mr Nungate)
12 inch wide terracotta flower pot (broken)
LP of Joe Dolce's Great Hit ..

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals. Igor is on hand for the concealment of coats, cloaks, and jackets (and the occasional broom)
These items may or may not be returned to their rightful owners at end of our festivities. (this matter is somewhat dependent on Igor's ability to remember where the um bodi items have been hidden) As always Igor will be your server for tonight ably assisted by Plant and possibly Frank the minion in training.

anybody play the Northumberland pipes.....now they use sheep's stomachs as their 'air deliverer' or whatever they call the sack.

[DaisyNonna]

Didn't know you play Bridge Tony.

[tonyav]

Afraid I don't, Daisy, I'll have a game of snap with you though !.

[Igor61]

Pardon my inattention, some kerfuffle in the kitchens, nothing to worry about Madame.
Your drinks, Tony Sir, Madame Daisy. I have replenished the drinks trolley again, please ring if there is anything else, it's beena busy evening, so many claoks to conceal

[tonyav]

I've never heard of Northumberland pipes, DT.

[DaisyNonna]

Crackle and Pop?

[tonyav]

Are the cats having a spat, Igor ?.

[DaisyNonna]

Take the clean water supply under the Tyne Tony.

[tonyav]

I have one word for you, Daisy. Weetabix !.

[tonyav]

None for dirty water then, Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

I am sure that my cloak can conceal himself, Igor. He's only called saucer for short.

[DTCwordfan]

A much softer sound than the full nungate/queenie pipes, tony.....

[Igor61]

The Towers cats are all fine, one is in the Snug with Daisy's little kitty,

[DaisyNonna]

Love my Weetabix dry with butter and honey. Too early to say Cheerio!

[DaisyNonna]

Think that gets diverted to ...... Don't want to upset anybody.

[tonyav]

Yes, much softer than bagpipes, quite an interesting sound, DT.

[DaisyNonna]

Are we playing poker Igor? Could enlarge the kitty.

[tonyav]

Can't imagine eating dry weetabix, well not without a pot of tea, Daisy.

[tonyav]

I was playing with the poker but nungate confiscated it.

[nungate]
