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.

Evening nungate. Much better flying weather tonight although rather damp. The wind has abated for now, having flattened 2 of my fence panels. m assured there are no more fence panels to be had in Sussex as of last Monday!

[Psybbo]

Good evening your ladyship, have you a cosy corner I can hide in and a warm tailcock, Igor, please. For the rofle I bring half a Xmas cake, a HB xmas pud, golf tees from a xmas cracker and any number of mince pies.

[BigMac]

Early arrival - having been missing over the past few months. But can't stay long as double booked this evening - the OH says we are watching television this evening. Something to do with cards and gambling, bridge or something.
Igor - please take my coat, no, please take it.
If Frank would like an easy start, may I have a flagon of Eyjafjallajökull, please?
For the raffle I have:

two christmas crackers (no 'bang' - or gifts, or hats)
one New Year's Day walk
three Nurofen (two used)

[queenofmean]

you haven't broken the new plant pot have you :(

[nungate]

Evening, Daisy, Sibs and Mac - haven't seen you in here for a while good to have you back!
Suspected the conditions were good for flying tonight Daisy.
Such a wealth of goodies Sib, I'm sure they will all find good homes.

Igor will be along in a moment with your drinks ....

[tonyav]

Good evening your nungateship, Daisy, Psybbo and BigMac.
My usual bucket if you please, Igor. Must say that 'Supervolcano' is just what I need, no heating in our house at the moment the boiler decided to sring a fountain this morning and can't be fixed until Monday afternoon.
For the rofle I have one Glow worm combi boiler ( slight leak ! ) and one adjustable spanner ( seized up ).

[Igor61]

I have the drinks trolley Madame. Where shall I leave it?

[tonyav]

Evening Queenie, when is the next driving lesson ?.

[nungate]

No Queenie, the new pot is intake it's the old one that is on offer.

Just leave the trolley over there by the suit of armour please Igor, and start dishing out the buckets

[BigMac]

Mmmm - like the canopies! The beef and ale version was the best, but I'm sure the vegetarians will enjoy the goat's cheese and asparagus.

If the Eyjafjallajökull is too difficult, maybe an Etna or a Karakatoa?

[tonyav]

Did you arrive on a 6ft Larch lap, Daisy ?.

[nungate]

Hello Tony, good day?

[Igor61]

The Mixologist based his tailcock recipe on Hekla Big Mac Sir, he wasn't able to spell Eyjaflallajokull and I can't do umlauts!

[queenofmean]

That's ok just as long as I don't have to touch either of them it's all good

[tonyav]

No, nungate, poxy boiler has sprung a leak.

[DaisyNonna]

Hi all! Tony, I too have a boiler problem. Timer won't work. Crawl out of bed at 6a.m. to turn it on.
An exploding Mountain would be welcome.

A gooseberry fool

A dipstick
A coconut
Some clotted cream
A cuckoo pint
A simple recipe for a thick soup

[DaisyNonna]

No, Tony, I would not insult Eric by switching. His lap is perfectly comfortable. A saddle of lamb's wool.
