Mad Over Fiftiesclub

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers and tonight's meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties Club.
Igor is again lurking by the main entrance waiting for members to arrive and divest themselves of their coats, cloaks and broomsticks which he will then convey to their various places of concealment all over the Towers. members are reminded that there is no guarantee of the safe return of the outer garments at the end of our evening
Our Tailcock this evening is an interesting brew, the "Drowsy Droplet" guaranteed to keep you AWAKE!! (a misnomer if ever there was one!)
Tonight's Hot Plate Special is a delicious chicken casserole with dumplings.
As always there will be our famous volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies, on the pudding trolley we have a wonderful sherry trifle
There will be dancing down in the Ballroom to the wonderful sounds of the
Bert Kampfire orchestra, so come on down and dance! They've done it again! The Minstrels have found their way in and are busy setting up in the gallery to give us the usual round of madrigals and toccattas, if I ever find out how they get in ......... [i
As ever, all facilities at the Towers are open to our members. The indoor pool does enjoy company and is looking forward to members going for a swim, (we do have swimsuits available for members who did not bring one with them) Our well stocked library is also at the disposal of our members as is the games room and the and the gym. The hot tub is bubbling away nicely on top of the north tower, with his ever present companion the mini bar (restocked as always) and atop the highest tower the bungee is waiting for the brave or stupid to make their first jump over the moat (which is filled
with piranhas) As a treat tonight we have organised A ghost walk, our resident Towers ghost Sir Cumference had again been joined by his good friend Sir Kitt who has come on a visit, they have promised to make the ghost hunt an exciting experience (Igor has loaned them his spare set of chains!) Members who visit the conservatory are again reminded not to feed the Triffid, and moreover if they do feed the Triffid, kindly refrain from giving it Haribo jelly sweets! [i] the mess by the Triffid after eating them has to be seen to be believed glad I don't clean it up ]
Though the evening may be a tad chilly, the gardens and grounds are open to members as is the beach and the race track or any members wishing to go for a wander around - wrap up warm won't you?
Queenie sends her apologies but she has again deserted the Towers in favour of a speedway meeting, she may look in later when she returns.

For the rofl tonight I offer:
small bag of loose threads (variety of colours)
empty needle packet
pack of rusty pins
tape measure (markings rubbed off)
unfinished stitched picture of a teddy bear (chart lost or mislaid or something)

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

[DaisyNonna]

Has Tony been spooked away? Not like him not to say goodnight.

[nungate]

Hopefully he's still around, he usually posts on the Night Night thread doesn't he? He wouldn't go off without saying goodnight, unless we missed him

[nungate]

did a quick look back, Tony hasn't posted on MOFC since around 10.30

[DaisyNonna]

Probably last or last but one Paris saga tomorrow.

[nungate]

Look forward to that Daisy, I have enjoyed reading all about your trip, made me hanker to go back myself, have been looking at some of my guidebooks and so forth just reminiscing. Sadly all the photos we took back then aren't on digital and I haven't seen the album I made of the Paris trips for ages, they'll be in a safe place but exactly where? no clue!

[DaisyNonna]

Next time I see GS will get him to show me how to download some photos to send you.

[anneasquith]

oh for goodness sake, ive been in the pool all night, im like a prune, did no one hear me shouting for help, I drifted into the deep end, I cant swim, you really must get a lifeguard (fit one ) nungate, igor some oxygen please !!!!!

[nungate]

That will be really nice Daisy, isn't it awful how we need the young ones to help us with technology? I feel I need a seven year old help me understand how to get to grips with the new washer, even after a week!
I really must try and find my photo albums though, and scan them into the computer so I can always have access to them

[nungate]

Sorry Anne, everyone has been on the ghost hunt, don't know why the pool guard wasn't on duty, I'm sure indoor pool wouldn't have let you drown or anything, he's very careful that way, I bet he kept you bobbing about until to managed to work your way out!
Come sit by th fire and dry off, Igor fetch some brandy please

[DaisyNonna]

Anne! So sorry, I was in the dungeons with Sir Cumference and Sir Kitt and we have lost Tony.
Igor a drink for Madame Anne! And a warm fluffy towel.

[Igor61]

Of course Madame. Shall I look into the lifeguard's absence?

[nungate]

Yes, Igor that's a good idea, when you find him tell him I want to see him in the morning and to make himself available

[DaisyNonna]

GD's plan for a few days in London with a friend after exams may have fallen through. D is muttering about a girlie trip away. GD, D and me. Venice?

[nungate]

Venice? Sounds like a plan Daisy, have never been to Italy, though don't forget to pack willies, I hear the streets are full of water

[DaisyNonna]

Not a willy between us nun.

[anneasquith]

pack willies......oh OK .

[nungate]

willies!!! go on laugh! It's after midnight, I didn't get to bed until after three and it's looking likely that it'll be more or less the sae tonight, I'm tired and making mistakes ................... yawn

[DaisyNonna]

Laugh? Gurgled quietly. Been to Italy a few times, but never Venice. Would love to go. The one place I have always wanted to go to is Kashmir.

[nungate]

I typed willies both times - and should be same not sae - Lord I'm tired!

[DaisyNonna]

What about you Anne? Anywhere you would love to go?
Nun, dinna fash. Love you.
