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.

Love sloe gin in the winter, I didn't know that there is a winter pimms, Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

Yes, Tony, slightly herby. Would tell you more but finished mine on New Year's Eve.

[tonyav]

But when did you start it though, Daisy ?.

[DaisyNonna]

November 5th Tony. Because I was not going out to a firework party.

[nungate]

Sorry for my short disappearance - was trying something - didn't work!

Shall we do the rofl?

Daisy, here's one for you to try. Take a highball glass, fill with ice. Pour in 50ml gin (Bombay sapphire), 50ml of Cranberry juice, top with lemonade and stir - sit back and sip! Very refreshing, just right for summer. (fancy one right now!)

[tonyav]

It lasted quite well then, Daisy.

[nungate]

[DaisyNonna]

Wilco nun.
Tony, was it a penalty? Not seen it.

[tonyav]

Doh, I've won nothing again.

No it wasn't Daisy, Suarez diving in the penalty area again, the guy is an out and out cheat imo.

[nungate]

There's a lot of that about Tony, maybe you should all club together and buy him an aqualung ..

[tonyav]

Yes nungate, Suarez does it match after match but the ref's keep falling for it.

[DaisyNonna]

Fancy a few days in Dublin. Anybody been? Any advice?

[tonyav]

I haven't, Daisy, gness may know about Dublin though.

[tonyav]

Is it the Guinness, Daisy ?.

[nungate]

The only thing I know about Dublin is that you can visit the Guiness brewery!

[DaisyNonna]

Just need to get away for a few days and never been to Ireland.

[Igor61]

Madame, the cleaning staff have assembled and await your instructions.

[nungate]

Thank you Igor, I shall let you know when they are required.
Do check to see if any of our guests require more refreshments

[tonyav]

Another bucket for me please, Igor and what ever Daisy would like to.

[DaisyNonna]

Yes please Igor. Need to get ready for home.
