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

"nothing at the moment" - me or Igor?

[tonyav]

I think nungate has enough with one smart @rse, Queenie ;-)

The big six 0, DT ?.

[DTCwordfan]

this friend of mine, tony, not me......wee bit to run in for that one.

[nungate]

Just realised, that makes you younger than Mr Nungate DT (I was a child bride! cough, cough, cough

[DaisyNonna]

Er, was something she mentioned she really wanted. Not sure it really celebrates a 16th birthday. The complete works of Shakespeare. Also a kitsch but cute Tote bag saying I Love Jane Austen and I (heart) Darcy. Couldn't make the heart symbol work. Doubtless we will find something girly in Paris. Have got my currency and alerted the bank to possible ATM use.

[queenofmean]

I don't know Tony....my dad can be one at times too...

[tonyav]

Ah right, DT. yeah right, nungate !.

[tonyav]

Yes but dad's are supposed to be, Queenie, it's part of the job it's in the contract.

[Sir Alec]

Good evening all! I have been gardening, so have brought a trug for the tailcock. I'm very thirsty - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it, probably because I'm rather sweaty from the exertion.
For the rofl, I'm supplying a dog-chewed clothes peg, a batch of young nettles - good for making wine, soup, etc, half a brick and a broken snow shovel. Don't fight over them.

[queenofmean]

Evening Sir Alec :)

yeah it is tony but we are a case of like father like daughter

[DTCwordfan]

What's the old recipe for the ideal age to marry? - ah yes, ma takes his age divides by 2 and adds 7 (though 9 works far better in my book).

A 60 year old man, 39 year old woman
A 30 year old man, 24 for the woman
A 20 year old man, 19 for the woman.....

Now who is 37/38 out there?

[tonyav]

Evening Sir A, nice to see you ( hope I win the half brick ), how was you journey up to the towers this week ?.

[tonyav]

yeah it is tony but we are a case of like father like daughter


Mmmmm, I have one to, cheeky little git.

[queenofmean]

does that mean 29 yo male and 25 3/4 yo female....is ok DT?

[queenofmean]

that's me too tony...

[Sir Alec]

I had a very bumpy ride here, tony, ooh, er Matron! I must replace that square wheel on the back of my bicycle with a round one. Been meaning to get round to that for months.

[tonyav]

queenofmean
that's me too tony...

I know, Queenie lol.

[queenofmean]

:)

[nungate]

complete works of Shakespeare at 16? Most impressive, I didn't really get into him until I was a couple of years older - that was when I finally "got it"
There are some lovely shops in Paris, I'm sure you'll find her something lovely! (I was very fond of the perfumeries .. )

[tonyav]

Shame that, Sir A, if I'd known you were having bicycle problems I'd have given you a lift up on my wind surfing board, could have done with a bit of help when I crashed into the Isle of Man !.
