Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

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

Without Carer's this country would be well up the creek! Quite often I have to rely on the dymanic duo (Mr N and Queenie) to help me with a lot of personal stuff, heaven help me if it gets to the point where I have to rely on government help with care might need in future, it's been bad enough getting help for my mum

[tonyav]

I'd still complain to the council, DT, expensive and very inconvenient while the car is being fixed again.

[DaisyNonna]

Tony, you need to supply a sign or flag of some kind for Ernie. His eyesight is phenomenal. Do keep Daisy cat indoors.

[tonyav]

Would a grand prix flag be alright, Daisy. Let me know when Ernie is due to arrive and I'll bring Daisy indoors.

[tonyav]

Hey, where's Queenie got to ?.

[DaisyNonna]

Excellent Tony. About 7ish next Saturday? Give you chance for a test flight?

[DaisyNonna]

Nun, was that spelling meant? If so, very clever.

[DTCwordfan]

My first case is still being put through the system, tony.

Now the good and bad news, bought some vino in this morning and had some wonderful gin, just a nifter and taste, but shyte, what a wonderful post-dinner drink it would make, so smooth, the bad news being that I have forgotten the name of it.

[DTCwordfan]

Oh, it was German, one reason for being a member of the EU, to benefit from such elixirs without Nigel Fartgas's import taxes that would become a necessity if we left.......

[nungate]

Of course Daisy! cough, cough

Queenie? She's showing her beau out, he's been with us since this afternoon, and is now set to go home - he has a fair bit of travelling to do before he gets home

[DTCwordfan]

The Shetlands perhaps, nungate?

[tonyav]

No problem, Daisy I'll be ready, looking forward to my test flight.



DT, I'd open a second case if I were you. and a second case of wine !.

[tonyav]

Ah righto, nungate, what sort of distance has he to travel ?.

[DTCwordfan]

I'll use it to reinforce number 1 - the idea of the second case, yes - perhaps a second bottle or I would otherwise be innnncohurrreeeerentsh.

[Psybbo]

Apologies nungate can't make it tonight, daughter and bf here, just want to say hello , commiserate with DTC and wish you all a lovely night xx

[nungate]

across the water - to the Kingdom of Fife - which I think you know well DT,
he's practically on the opposite side of the coast to where we are

[tonyav]

Go on, DT open that second one bottle, bet you need it after todays shenanigans.

[lady-janine]

hi everyone. glad to see you are all having a good time.

[tonyav]

Hi ya, Psybbo, have they bought the granddogs with them ?.

[tonyav]

Hello, lj, DT's had another pot hole disaster.
