Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to the Mad Over Fifties Club. First of all may I take a moment to thank Daisynonna for stepping into the breech and hosting our last meeting down at Daisy's Farm, and I must add, at very short notice too.
The tailcock for tonight is The Winning Post (year of the Horse)
Our hot plate special for tonight is a Buffet of Chinese Food, (well it is Chinese New Year after all) all the Chinese classics are there, and on the pudding trolley, apple fritters, and pineapple fritters! Later on we have Lion Dancers, and in the Home Cinema Room, we are showing a selection of Chinese films, Red Cliff (a personal favourite of mine) Crouching Tiger etc. and The House of Flying Daggers (visually stunning) Of course no meeting of the Mad Over Fifties would be complete without our selection of volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers, or a visit from everyone's favourite local band The Tone Deafs, this week they will be playing a selection of Golden Oldies, and as always the Minstrels will be back in the gallery with their usual Madrigals and toccattas.
Yet again owing to inclement weather the bungee will be out of use this evening, as will the hot tub, (too exposed up on those towers) Down in the cellars, the indoor pool is ready for use, and swimsuits are available for those who haven't brought one (skinny dipping is frowned upon at the Towers) Our library is well stocked with all the latest magazines and periodicals, the latest edition of "Cow Punchers Weekly" has only just arrived!
I must say I missed you all last week, and I was touched to read all of your messages wishing me a speedy recovery, thank you.

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals tonight.

carriages at midnight.

[DaisyNonna]

Please may I have another drink Igor? All this talk of zebras has reminded me that you have some horses doovers. A few would be appreciated.

[tonyav]

Ah, but do they ever call a taxi though, nungate ?.

[DTCwordfan]

An old limerick

Not a trip to the balmy Bahamas
Nor a voyage like Vasco da Gama's
'Neath Taurus nor Libra
Will score us a zebra—
An equine who wears striped pyjamas.

[DTCwordfan]

A zebra was painting Sloopy's boat
And spilled paint on his striped coat.
Aghast, he yelled 'Igor Yipes!
Where are my stripes?!'
And promptly jumped into Nungate's moat.

[Igor61]

I have placed a selection of horses doovers on a tray for you Madame Daisy, and your drink is there also

[DaisyNonna]

Oooh! I am a Taurus!

[tonyav]

Guess what I am, Daisy.

[nungate]

only to be nibbled by the piranhas
that horse in the striped pyjamas
when he jumped from the moat
back in Sloopys boat
and sobbed his way back to his mama's

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks so much Igor. I look forward to reading your memoir. It should be fascinating. So strong to cope with all those chains. and Frank

[tonyav]

Ah yes, how is Frank these days, hope he's doing well with the minion training.

[DaisyNonna]

That's difficult Tony. Hopefully not Sagittarius. Libra perhaps?

[Igor61]

He has decided to attend my old Alma Mater, to attain his Diploma in Retainering and Minion Studies Madame Daisy, I am so proud

[DaisyNonna]

Retainering? Had no idea that you had been trained in American dentistry Igor. You live and learn.

[tonyav]

It's goat related, Daisy !.

Aw, hope Frank passes with distinction, Igor.

[nungate]

that would be Capricorn would it not Tony?

[tonyav]

Yes, your correct, nungate.

[Igor61]

He did well by being accepted there, it is a very difficult school to get into, the
Institute of Retainering and Minionship in Draculsburg top school of it's kind,
I passed with honours

[DaisyNonna]

Oh what a relief Tony! I should have guessed.

[DaisyNonna]

I am sure you did very well there Igor. What an achievement! I hope Frank emulates your excellent example.

[tonyav]

LOL, I thought that you would have guessed, Daisy.

Igor, I would have expected nothing less from you.
