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.

Wonder why hot sugary tea is supposed to be good for shock ?.

[DTCwordfan]

Taylor's Scottish Breakfast tea for me, though I had a very nice local one in Norwich, Wilkinson's Afternoon Blend.

[nungate]

On the plus side Tony, I got her back "trained" she would wake at 2.00 and 6.00 on the dot, and we didn't have too much in the way of broken nights!
Came as a shock to my system the night I realised she'd slept right through until after 6.00!

That's fine Igor, go and have your break now

[DaisyNonna]

Quite fancy a horse's doover. What would you suggest nun?

[nungate]

well the spicy chicken ones are rather nice, and there is some patatas bravas - I really ought to call these Tapas - why not try some Iberico ham with a nice chilled Fino sherry?

[DaisyNonna]

No idea Tony. Would definitely put me into shock.

[DaisyNonna]

The ham and patatas sound lovely nun. Yes please.

[DTCwordfan]

It's because you are so sweet already, Daisy...............

[tonyav]

Always a silver lining then, nungate.


I think I would like some of nungates Chicken casserole with herby dumplings.

[nungate]

wise choice

[DaisyNonna]

Why, thank you DT. Or. Why? Thank you DT.
What would happen if one were diabetic?

[nungate]

Well, it would push up your blood sugars but if you were having a hypoglycaemic attack it would help - other than that dashed if I know why hot sweet tea is administered! (I'll take a g & t every time)

[tonyav]

Probably an old wives tale about the hot sugary tea.

[DTCwordfan]

A Tanqueray and Tonic, loads of ice and a twist of lime, a little squeeze on that, please, or a glass of Chateau Petrus 1990.....

[DaisyNonna]

Love , Scotch and water in the winter, G&T in the summer and tonic water anytime.

[tonyav]

I like Scotch to, Daisy, never with water though.

[DTCwordfan]

A good malt, splash of water, is nice in the evenings.....

Anyway, talking of malts, is that young Psybbs ready to retire to the limo....

I shall turn in and, once again, thanks to all your hospitality at the Towers......x to the gals and a glass to all.

[tonyav]

Have you checked the wine cellar, DT ?.

G'night then DT.

[DaisyNonna]

Night DT. Slainte.
Dislike vodka so prefer my Mary to be virgin.
If feeling frivolous in the summer and the sun is shining I love Pimms with the accompanying foliage and fruit.
Just discovered Winter Pimms.

[nungate]

Good night DT.

I have a couple of things I'd like to discuss can I email you?
