Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers, time for AB's Mad Over Fifties to meet for an evening of culture and reflection or failing that the usual mayhem and madness which usually takes place on these evenings.
Igor is lurking at the main entrance waiting for the arrival of our guests so he can help them out of their coats, cloaks and broomsticks in order for their concealment in the variety of crooks and nannies he has found around the Towers members are advised that their items are left at their own risk and the management cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of the evening
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Eurovision" an international sort of brew, yet interesting..........
Our Hot Plate Specials Tonight have a truly international theme, we have Paella, Sauerkraut, Spaghetti, Fondue, and pickled herrings.....of course there will also volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers. On the pudding trolley, we have Tiramisu, Danish pastries, Crema Catalana, and Gateau St Honore (I have just gained 10lbs just typing that!)
For our entertainment tonight we have engaged the services of our favourite local band the Tone Deafs who will be performing the greatest hits of Eurovision, and we have also decided to have a Karaoke evening, it's going to be busy down in the Ballroom tonight! Yet again the Minstrels have found a way in, and are setting up in the Gallery in the Great Hall ready with their usual selection of madrigals and toccattas................spare us..........please!
For members not wishing to indulge in any musical interlude, we have an interesting variety of amenities for our members, from the indoor pool down in the dungeon, (swimwear is available for members who didn't bring any - skinny dippy is frowned upon - indoor pool does not approve! On the topmost Tower, members will find the bungee, all ready and waiting for bouncing, just be careful not to land in the moat, the piranhas bite! On the North Tower we have the hot tub just bubbling away, nearby his friend the mini bar, (suitably replenished from last meeting) is waiting. Members are welcome to wander in the extensive grounds of the Towers, and they can also access the beach, though bathing is not recommended as the water is too cold at the moment. Also outdoors, there is a race track and cars ready for racing and the rowing boats are again available for rowing out on the lake. Back indoors, members can also use our library, gym and the conservatory (though members are reminded not to feed the Triffid its not due another feed until midsummer)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
carriages at midnight

Lunch at my sisters, lazy afternoon, left at 5.45 - Cornish lanes, come up their (long hill), down a 'straight' with a lake, S-bend, then another (deeper) lake before the junction, 300 yards up the road, on goes the red lub light, immediate pull in this time.
Phone the sis to get my mater back down to her house, then the AA. Sis arrives, takes her off, phones back to say there's a thin spray all the way back to the puddle.
AA turns up after 1hr 15 (text messages) and there's a wedding finger hole in the new sump - didn't even feel anything as the offending rock was under water, not even a bump......
Get the car up on the ramps, mother back, to the garage and then back here at 8.30, - simple Caesar salad as I didn't want more and the red wine, and that I do want more!
Pissed off. The good news is that the AA man said the engine will be okay as there was plenty of lub when he dipsticked the beast.
