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


carriages at midnight

[tonyav]

Which Colin is that, Daisy ?.

[DaisyNonna]

Mr. Darcy.

[nungate]

I'm afraid he's a Rovers fan ...

[lady-janine]

your awful accident sounds most unfortunate DTC. is your car very low slung? please don't quote make and model as I would not be able to identify it.

[DTCwordfan]

Facing you, nungate, the chance to send love bombs across the Firth - and some bloody good golf courses, also (I mean this), such an understated coastline.....wouldn't mind being slightly inland as it can be so beautiful in winter, again the understatement....look at the views from the Ceres Manse.

[tonyav]

Ah, that Colin, not sure, Daisy. Don't know if he's married.

Not Blackburn Rovers then, nungate.

[DTCwordfan]

Very low, Lady J! And it's not one of those racing cars.....

[DaisyNonna]

He is. Has a beautiful wife.

[tonyav]

I'd expect nothing less from him, Daisy.

[lady-janine]

that is a problem. I had to make sure I could get up the cart-track before buying and now with the holes seeming to get ever deeper I have to be even more careful if i'm not there's a scraping noise. the rain makes them ever deeper.

[nungate]

It is a beautiful coastline DT (though this side is nicer, but I am biased) so many pretty little villages along there. We say here if you can't see Fife it's raining over there and if you can see Fife it's raining here!

Raith Rovers Tony

[lady-janine]

no tony. the lime and ice help to make it moist.

[tonyav]

Where is Raith Rovers ground, nungate ?.

[nungate]

Fabulous house too, I forgot to say.....

[tonyav]

Right, lj, got to say that a moist gin sounds much better than a dry one.

[DaisyNonna]

There's something to be said for a broomstick. Bit like an aerial motor bike without the helmet.

[nungate]

I hate to admit it Tony but I haven't a clue! Could be in Kirkcaldy, haven't really followed Scottish football much apart from Hearts, until the Lithuanian got his paws on them and ruined the club! I can tell you where to find most of the big clubs but not the wee ones, though to be fair Raith won the league cup or whatever they call it these days - ask m about Spanish football I'm better at that!

[DTCwordfan]

I'll be diplomatic, nungate, and say both coasts are lovely - and both with their villages and towns and, yes, I love NB for its golf course(s), the shops and restaurants - and the access to Belhaven 70/90 shilling beer.

[DaisyNonna]

Never had any trouble reconstituting dry sherry or dry white wine.

[tonyav]

Bit like an aerial motor bike without the helmet.


Do you ever get pulled over by the broom police though, Daisy ?.
