Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for the latest meeting of Mad Over Fifties Club. Igor is at the door eagerly awaiting tonights arrivals so that he can gather up their coats, cloaks a broomsticks for concealment around the Towers, members should note that all items left for concealment are left at their own risk and we cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of our revels
Tonights Tailcock will be the "Dyspeptic Daiquiri", shall we say it's an "interesting brew" not to mention colourful!
Our hot plate special tonight is roast chicken with all the trimmings! For those who might prefer something lighter, we have a selection of volly vonts
horses doovers and canopies. On the pudding trolley, we have a special request by Queenofmean for an Ice Cream Gateau, layers of different flavours of ice cream, swathed in whipped cream and topped with a selection of fresh fruit.
We are pleased to announce the return of the bungee to the topmost tower
and the hot tub is also back in his rightful place atop the North Tower, and of course his best friend the Mini bar has returned there too (fully stocked)
(sadly the indoor pool is bereft now his friends have relocated from the dungeon) Now that the lighter evenings have returned we are delighted to say that the gardens and the maze are also open for members use. Rowing boats will be available in a few weeks for rowing on the lake, and the racetrack has had new floodlights for night time driving and the cars are all ready for racing!
Our indoor entertainment comes in the shape of our Minstrels who are tuning up in the gallery of the Great Hall getting ready to serve up their usual selection of madrigals and toccattas. In the Ball Room, we have engaged the services of the Tone Deafs a selection of Eighties Hits. As always our indoor facilities are available to all members, as it will be a few weeks before we can use the outdoor pool, members are reminded that the indoor pool is ready for use (swimsuits are available) I would urge members to give it a try, he's feeling very low since his friends have returned to the North Tower.
Our well stocked library has all the latest magazines and periodicals, including the latest edition of Quantum Physics for Midwives. Members must remember not to feed the Triffid if they visit the conservatory, its next feed is due at Easter. (would the owner of the green hat found at the feet of the triffid please collect it from Lost Property) I am happy to say that owing to members good behaviour in not throwing litter into the moat, the piranhas have recovered from their bout of indigestion (the pepto bismol was turning the water pink!)
Please hand all contributions for the rofl to Belle in the vestibule)
For tonights rofl I offer:
- Pack of needles (rusty and blunt)
- tangle of embroidery threads
- half finished cross stitch picture (chart lost)

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals


carriages at midnight

[Sir Alec]

I haven't had twiglets for years, Daisy. When we were kids, we used to call them 'chicken bones'. Delicious!

[nungate]

that doesn't sound like it was much fun there Sir Alec, extremely unpleasant!


Tony, I'm with you marmite - food for the devil!

[DaisyNonna]

They weren't ridiculous, my time in Canada was. Shall I tell you?

[tonyav]

Yes, lets hear it then, Daisy.

[nungate]

all ears Daisy, we have coast to coast hook up fire away!

[DaisyNonna]

When I am really cold and miserable my drink of choice is hot Bovril with plenty of salt and pepper.

[anneasquith]

salad cream is the other food of the devil,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[DaisyNonna]

After carriages time, Could email tomorrow, or tell you now?

[tonyav]

Entirely up to you, Daisy.

Yes it is, anne.

[nungate]

carriages at midnight are a mere suggestion they are not enshrined in MOFC law - carry on if you'd like to Daisy

[DaisyNonna]

Agreed Anne

[nungate]

Queenie loves salad cream - Lord knows why

[Sir Alec]

I quite like salad cream, especially with celery, though mayonnaise and blue cheese with celery is my preferred snack.
I tend to like most vinegary foods.

[nungate]

mayonnaise with chips ...... yum

[Sir Alec]

I learned to love, nay, adore, mayonnaise with chips after I visited Germany on a school exchange nungate. Pure heaven!

[tonyav]

You can't have Mayo with chips, that's sacrilege.

[nungate]

it was in a car park in Boulogne where we discovered the joys of chips and mayonnaise Sir Alec when Queenie was five years old - ah happy days!

[nungate]

yes you can Tony, give it a go trust me I'm a housewife (soy ama de casa)

[Sir Alec]

"Ah, happy days!"

You mean before she got old enough to answer back?!

[tonyav]

Nope, its got to be good old salt and pickled onion vinegar for me, nungate and Sir A.
