Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening all, and welcome to Nungate Towers, so come on down and let our revels begin.............I sure could use the company!!
Tonight's Tailcock is the "Nungate Abandoned" a somewhat solitary yet interesting brew, on account that everyone has gone off and left me here all alone,......all on me tod.......just me and five moggies, who, however sweet they are, they are not scintillating conversationalists!
Igor is by the door waiting to collect all coats, cloaks, and broomsticks ready for concealment in various crooks and nannies around the Towers,
members please note all outer garments are left at their owners risk [i Our Hot plate special for tonight is a delicious cottage pie (we had some derelict cottages on the estate and I do hate to see waste ........) horses doovers, canopies and our world famous (at least in the AB World) volly vonts, and on our pudding trolley we have a selection of ice creams, and of course every possible (within reason) topping, and a choice of ice cream sauces, and whipped cream! Time to make your own sundaes!!
In the Great Hall gallery, the Minstrels are busy setting up and getting ready to give us their now legendary (in their minds at least) selection of madrigals, toccatas and as a special treat they will throw in a cantata or two
[i] stifles a yawn ] meanwhile down in the ballroom, for those members wishing a bit of a dance we have engaged the services of our favourite local band The Tone Deafs
Members will please note that the bungee will be reinstated at the beginning of next month, the same goes for the hot tub, which is currently enjoying a brief sojourn with the indoor pool down in the dungeons, mini bar has been keeping them company (and has also been refilled)
The snug has a nice cosy fire, and nice comfy sofas just ready for members in search of a quiet evening. Anyone one wishing to visit the conservatory is reminded not to feed the Triffid, it's not due another feed until Easter....
Would members please remember to collect their tickets for the rofl from Belle in the vestibule, and if you wish to stay over please let her know so that the guests suites can be prepared.

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Brunhilde? Igor's big secret, all will be revealed on publication of his memoir Tony Ssssshhh!

[tonyav]

[i]Ok, nungate ;-)[i].

[DTCwordfan]

and Teddy's age?

[nungate]

Teddy is only a baby, months old, not a year until summer

[DaisyNonna]

Hi Tony! Got my watch fixed today. It too had a flat battery, I've been carrying around my travel alarm in my pocket.
Next going to try to get my mantel clock repaired. They will give me a quote first.
Lovely tailcock nun!

[tonyav]

Good gal, Daisy, whats the problem with the mantle clock ?.
Pssst, did you know that stewey is an expert on time pieces.

[nungate]

Thank you Daisy, we aim to please!
I hear you about the mantel clock quote. My mum had an antique one repaired and serviced a few years back, cost her hundreds! I can recommend the repairer though marvellous job, I knew them from a place I used to work

[queenofmean]

Greetings from Real Diamond :) will see you all when I get in :)

[DTCwordfan]

Molly, Lou, Max, Henry
And then there’s Teddy a disputed teeny kitty,
One, two, three and four and five,
they’re so frisky, so alive.

Molly is Nungate’s number one,
Ancient in years so old and so much fun.
Purrs and snuggles on her shoulder,
She‘s getting slow and somewhat older.
She meows for tailcocks from the sink,
Igor scoops it out, for her to drink.

Lou is their number two,
Sex confused, a girl she’ll tell you!
She prances like a little trannie,
Queenie’s Number One? That’s maybe baloney.
She guards the others from above,
and sometimes gives Igor a little shove.

Max is the Tower’s number three,
Queenie’s cat, chubby, plump as one can be.
Always cleaning, always licking,
He tries to run but his paws keep sticking.
He keeps on searching for a volley-vent,
A Scottish feline bon vivant..

Henry, Queenie three, the Castle number four,
always eating, more and more.
Loves to snack on lots of munchies,
Cottage Pie and some ice-cream crunchies.
Begging, pleading, day and nights.
"Give me the Tonedeaf lunchies, or I’ll bite!"

Teddy is The Towers number five,
Disputed ownership, he jumps and takes a dive.
Up Igor’s back, onto Nungate’s shoulder,
hoping he would grab and hold her.
Then He jumps to catch a Minstrel’s fly,
He’s maybe four months old, the Mofc puss pie.

Molly, Lou, Max, Henry,
and there’s Teddy their smallest kitty.
Five, four, three and two and one,
Nungate and Queenie love their cats,
In the Tower they’re so much fun.
Tony’s goats and Daisy’s Eric to rub their tums.

[DaisyNonna]

Don't think mine's antique but it's pretty old. If it costs too much I will still keep it as it is a fixture in my life, belonged to my grandparents and looks good in my bedroom.
Hi Queenie. Have fun.

[nungate]

The mystery is revealed! Well done DT that is actually very accurate as to their characters (except that Molly is a total grumpy cat)


Queenie, any idea when you might get back? Maxie is getting a bit antsy

[nungate]

As Tony said Daisy, maybe you could take a photo of the clock - inside and out and let Stewey see it - he might be able to suggest something. I took mum's to a clock/watchmaker in Edinburgh, a very old firm, the company I worked for used them to look after the clocks in our building

[DaisyNonna]

Great DT. Always enjoy your versification.

[tonyav]

Hi ya, Queenie, have a good time.

Like that ode to nungates kitty's, DT, poor Lou.

[DaisyNonna]

If I ever get that organised nun.
Busy making Paris lists. Write what I think I'll need, next day cross off what I can manage without.

[nungate]

No, not poor Lou, she knew who she was it was us who didn't - vet said it was difficult as she is a long haired cat - beautiful, but scruffy, takes three of us to groom her, two to hold her down and one to brush! So she goes to a cat groomer from time to time. She's quite a timid nervous sort but she does like to snuggle on the sofa with me, occasionally Queenie but never best beloved, probably because Molly is snuggled up to him

[nungate]

I only take what I need when I go travelling these days Daisy, seldom ever take toiletries with me (save for my toothbrush) I just buy what I need there, it's more or less the same brands of things we get here

[tonyav]

Ok nungate, not poor lou then, she was never confused.

[nungate]

just us ........ and the vet! Nurse was in the know ...

[DaisyNonna]

Hand luggage only to save on cost. Supadrug do mini toothpastes and soap. Only there a few days. Taking Kindle of course for when I can't keep up with the rest of the family.
