Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and Happy Easter to all members of the MOFC and, indeed we at the Towers would like to extend those greetings to all members of AB.
Igor is back on duty at the entrance waiting to collect for concealment all coats, cloaks, and broomsticks in his various crooks and nannies members should note that there is no guarantee that these items will be returned at the end of our revels, though they may eventually turn up at some point
Our Tailcock this evening is in keeping with the season and is the Chocabunny" our resident mixologist does like to keep things current.
The Hot Plate Special tonight will be a honey roasted gammon, with new potatoes and that perennial favourite, cabbage.................. Of course it would not be MOFC if we did not have those favourites, volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies, so beloved by MOFC members. On the pudding trolley tonight we have profiteroles, with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream.
Our entertainment tonight comes from the Minstrels how do they manage to keep on getting in? with their usual selection of madrigals,and toccattas, though, tonight they are promising to "mix" things up a little and toss in the odd fugue!
Down in the Ballroom, we have a brand new band, the Fidgeridoos, who are going to provide us with classic old songs played on didgeridoos ........ please, didgeridon't..................
As always our faciltities are open to all members, the indoor pool loves company and we have a selection of swimwear for members to put on for swimming, (please do not offend the indoor pool by skinny dipping, he doesn't like that sort of thing) Up on the topmost tower the bungee is waiting for the more daring members.... who in their right mind would bungee over a moat full of piranhas? Our well stocked library is waiting for members who might prefer a quieter sort of evening. I am happy to say that the Triffid in the conservatory has been fed and is most amenable to visitors (enjoy it while you can this mood will not last!) I am also pleased to say that later on this evening, Frank, (Igor's minion who has returned briefly from college) has organised a bonfire for members to toast marshmallows and sing camp fire songs (what is that place teaching him?)
Rest assured dear members we have a plethora of delights for you this evening.
Lastly, my apologies for our late start this evening, I was called away on an urgent piece of family business.

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

not the razor Wilkinson's but the jam outfit, after all we need to dam up the spilt blood and camouflage it.

[nungate]

that's one way of doing things I suppose

[Psybbo]

Queenie, I'll have to e-mail you, take care xx
DTC, it was a lovely picture of a sheep looking around a door, but I know you don't take the Guardian

[tonyav]

Igor61
it's a start Tony, sir


Thanks, Igor, can you suggest any more knee building up exercises ?.

[nungate]

just spotted it - my fault Anne? How so? (bear in my she swam in the shallow end of my gene pool and the deep end of her Dad's she's more like him than me)

[Psybbo]

Nungate that's my excuse too :-)

[tonyav]

I take it that a Band aid wouldn't suffice then, DT.

[nungate]

there is a quantity of dressings in the first aid box that might be suitable

[queenofmean]

I definitely take after dad...except I can control one thing he can't at times. But you are right on the above mum :)

Fire away Sibs - would be nice to have an email from an actual person :) x

[tonyav]

Can anyone here sew ? I may need a few stitches !.

[nungate]

Tony, didn't you know? You are in a house of stitchers, we'll embroider you closed if you like, a nice row of lazy daisy, maybe chain stitch or feather
or just a row of cross stitches (just don't ask Queenie to do a French knot she can't do those!)

[tonyav]

Thanks, nungate, cross stitches will be fine always make you look tough.

[Psybbo]

Talk to you tomorrow, Queenie xx

[queenofmean]

sure thing Sibs :) x

[nungate]

That's fine Tony, having stitches doesn't hurt ..... much! I had some put in my knee the anaesthetic only worked for the first one, I felt the rest the doc offered to stop but I told him to carry on! (heck I've been in labour suffered kidney stones stiches? No probs!) Be brave my son! The needles will be sharp!

[tonyav]

Would it be better if I had a few single malts first, nungate.

[nungate]

what a wuss Tony, I didn't have so much as a sniff of gin let alone some malts!

[tonyav]

Gawd they breed them tough in Scotland.

[DTCwordfan]

talking of malts, time for one perhaps and then the sack....so I shall bade all good night and thanks. Look after that toe, Queenie.

[nungate]

we have to be Tony, have you seen the weather?

Goodnight then DT, enjoy your wee libation, sleep well
