Mad Over Fifties Club
162 Answers
Good evening and welcome to Mad Over Fifties Club. Here at the Towers we are in Olympic mood reflected in tonight's tailcock the "Sochi doodah"
Igor has donned his ski salopettes and Plant has taken to wearing silk thermals, there are large screens throughout the Towers showing the action and replays of todays events from the games.
Tonight's menu also reflects the games, on the hot plate tonight we have Fondue! A meaty version, a cheesy version and a sweet chocolate version!
(yumm) On the pudding trolley Black Forest Gateau (is it just me or is there a seventies vibe going on?) Echoing that our favourite local band the Tone Deafs will be playing a selection of seventies hits! Needless to say our customary volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers are also on the menu for tonight. Of course we also have some warming gluhwein and hot rum toddies!
Up in the gallery the Minstrels are warming up, another evening of madrigals and toccattas await us .......................
The fires are all banked up and nice cosy rooms await all who may not wish to indulge in some of our other activities. Talking of "alternatives" we have pushed the boat out, we have a ski slope, and an ice rink has been installed
skates are available for anyone wishing to go skating (sparkly costumes are optional) Why should we miss out on some snow fun and games? If that does not appeal, why not skip the Ski and go straight to the Apres Ski? As always, the hot tub is back up on the north tower - and yes the mini bar is back there too, we still do not have the use of the bungee, (elf and safety)
However, the indoor pool is ready to use, the games room is fully equipped,
the library is fully stocked and has a wide a varied selection of magazines and periodicals, including the latest edition of Crochet for Rugby Scrums
All in all we have a full programme for tonight's meeting.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
carriages at midnight.
Members will please note that the management of the Towers does not accept any liability for any injury sustained on the ski slope or any misuse of equipment. These entertainments are undertaken at members own

So who is partaking in a Madrigal, or is that a MagicGull?
Who have the voices as I could clear the Tower quicker than the fire alarms?
If Tower music and sweet poetry agree,
As they must needs, the Queenie daughter and her mother,
Then must the love be great 'twixt thee and she,
Because thou lovest the one, and you the other.
The Bard to all is dear, whose heavenly touch
Upon the lute doth ravish human sense;
Tony to me, whose deep goat keep is such
As, passing all keeping needs no defence.
Thou lovest to hear the sweet melodious sound
That Psybbo's lute, the Irish queen of music, makes;
And I in deep delight am chiefly drown'd
When as Igor himself to singing he betakes.
One Ed is Ed of both, as poets feign;
One Daisy loves both, and both in thee remain.
