Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers and the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Igor is at the main entrance waiting to collect your coats, cloaks and broomsticks for concealment in a variety of crooks and nannies around the Towers, known only to him members should note that al personal belongings are left at their own risk, we cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of the evening, though members might wish to check the lost property office for anything that has gone astray recently
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Daffy Dilly", nothing better for a "jaundiced" look at life!
Our hot plate special tonight comes in the form of a Chinese Banquet, all your favourite take out Chinese dishes are available for members to make their selections, so get your chopsticks ready...... keeping to our Chinese theme, on the pudding trolley we have apple and banana fritters, and ice cream. It would not be a true MOFC evening without the world famous volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers for tempt you...
As usual, the Minstrels are up in the Gallery in the Great Hall, preparing their customary selection of madrigals and toccattas for our delight and entertainment....................yeh right! For those members wishing to trip the light fantastic, down in the ballroom we have secured the services of the Bert Campfire big band complete with two of the Dagenham Lady Pipers, to ensure our evening goes with a swing!
The bungee is well secured on the topmost Tower ready for the most daring of members, and at the top of the North Tower you will find the hot tub and mini bar, on a clear day you can see forever! Again, the maze and gardens are open for members wishing an evening stroll, (the head gardener is particularly proud of his spring bulbs this year) the race track is at the ready and the cars all fuelled up and ready to go!
Within the confines of the Towers, our well stocked library is open for those members who prefer a quiet time, the indoor pool down in the dungeon is still missing his friend the hot tub and would welcome any member wishing a swim (we do have a selection of swim wear for members to use). Members should also note that if they enter the conservatory they are requested not to feed the triffid, as feeding it out of season can be annoying.
Since I forgot to make the draw for last weeks rofl the prizes have been held over until tonight, tickets can be had from Belle in the vestibule.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Long time since there, Daisy, that was the legacy of those two spinsters, father in steel(?) and the collection from which they found a Turner, wasn't it (the programme with Fiona Bruce and Philip Mould)?

[nungate]

nice to seew you keeping yourself busy Anne, so Bubba's six under (I refuse to take anyone who calls themselves Bubba seriously)
The saga of Queenie's toe will run and run until she lets them remove part of the nail - she's taking the antibiotics and sees the podiatrist next month

[DTCwordfan]

If you love food stores, Daisy, Fauchon isn't that far from the Louvre, Place de la Madeleine....and you cross the Faubourg St Honoré (very dangerous window shopping).

[DaisyNonna]

The Davies sisters. Did not see the programme but went to see the paintings when I needed soothing DT. Also went when I was happy, just to share.

[DTCwordfan]

That's them....was quite a story - which reminds me, I need to see if the programme on the Gainsborough is still live on the beeb i-player

[DaisyNonna]

Sorry to say I hate shopping and window shopping. Family loves History and Art. GD loves ballet. GS still developing. (12)

[tonyav]

Hang on, dangerous window shopping, DT !, is this a new extreme sport I haven't heard about.

[DTCwordfan]

Grand Palais des Champs-Elysées then, home for Les Galeries Nationales du Grand Palais, and particularly the picture exhibition "Salons" as the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux Arts, Salon d'Automne and Salon Comparaisons.

[nungate]

It's the carrying home of all those windows that's the killer!

[anneasquith]

tony, not unlike abseiling down a window...............its a French thing !

[DTCwordfan]

Place d'Opéra for the French National Ballet Co in the Palais Garnier

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks DT. Not a great deal of time there (Expense and GD's revision). You should have been my guide!

[nungate]

....and the steps of the Paris Opera for people watching! My friend and I would sit there quite often to watch the world go by! Then go inside and see the ceiling by Chagall!

[tonyav]

Ah, thanks anne, I thought it had a ring of the Gaul s about it.

[DaisyNonna]

Tony, what is your favourite dangerous sport?

[anneasquith]

daisy don't encourage him :)

[DTCwordfan]

They do this in the Fens too; it's how it got its name....Fenetres shortened.

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, top fuel drag racing I think, Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

Anne, Tony and I both like to have fun.

[DaisyNonna]

Fenestration DT?
