Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Igor is at the main entrance, eagerly waiting for members to arrive so he may relieve them of their coats, cloaks and broomsticks ready for their concealment in a variety of places throughout the Towers known only to himself (members are reminded that their items are left at their own risk and the management cannot guarantee their safe retrieval at the end of our revels)
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Black Cloud" as I am currently under one my team having thrown away their chance of a title this season. Roll on season 2014/15 and better things!
Our Hot Plate Special Tonight will be roast chicken with all the usual trimmings, of course there will also be our world famous volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers. On the pudding trolley tonight we have Lemon Meringue pie, with strawberries fresh from our very own green houses, and whipped cream.
Members are welcome to try any and all of the facilities here at the Towers.
The indoor pool in the dungeons awaits his first swimmers (we have swimsuits available for those who didn't bring one with them, indoor pool doesn't approve of skinny dipping) The bungee is ready, with new elastics atop the highest Tower, (beware of the piranhas in the moat) and on the North Tower you will find the hot tub and mini bar. Members are welcome to wander the grounds and gardens, and by the lake the rowing boats are ready for use, as is the race track, race cars are also prepared ready for members wishing to try their hand at racing. Indoors we have usual treats. Playing in the Ballroom tonight are Alf Rodrigues and his Latin Banditos, for members who might fancy tripping the light fantastic, later on we may have some karaoke. Yet again the Minstrels have managed to circumvent the security measures and are setting up to give us the usual fare of madrigals and toccattas! how are they managing to get in?
Members are requested not to feed the Triffid in the conservatory, but we have left out some fruit etc. for the spider monkey who may come down to be fed by hand. This and many other treats are available to members. Why not have a stroll down to the stables and meet the Llamas, alpacas and Spot the Zebra? We also have nice little herd of goats who were left with us for a brief spell but who are still with us and have multiplied! We're keeping the babies!

for the rofl tonight I offer:
a back four defence with more holes in it than my kitchen sieve
a referee in need of a guide dog (there's no way that goal was offside!)
and a
very large boot for booting the backsides of players who are in need of a good boot up the proverbial!

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals though if anyone from A Madrid looks near, the cannons have been loaded

Will it have all mod cons? Sat Nav etc.?

[polar-bear]

Hello Nungate, nice to be back. I have been moving in arctic circles for the last few weeks.

[DaisyNonna]

DT I have chilly memories of watching the Australians at Edgbaston in my teens. The thermos of oxtail soup we took with us was a life-saver. Too cold to hold the pencil to fill in the scorecard.

[polar-bear]

No satnav. They tell lies.

[nungate]

echo that PB - ours tells us it's lost the signal! For goodness sake all it has to do is look up!!! ;-)

[DTCwordfan]

Plenty of cold games having strutted the squares of various Yorkshire and Lancashire schools. Coldest - well that's between Rossall at Fleetwood or near Nungate, Loretto.

[DaisyNonna]

Clive the broom nungate? Not all mod cons but Ernie my sea eagle was going to fly alongside to make sure there were no problems. He knows the way. No reply when I sent word to Tony at 7.30.

[nungate]

Loretto? Surely not too cold for you DT, it always seems nice down there
lovely grounds though

[DaisyNonna]

You should have been playing hockey DT. No time to feel the cold and the red haze keeps you warm.

[DaisyNonna]

PB, how do you keep warm in the arctic? Does it get too warm for you here in the summer?

[polar-bear]

I play football to keep warm in the arctic. UK summers are OK i just chill out by watching Kent play cricket.

Good evening your nungateship and all, great journey up this week ( for a change) Ernie arrived earlier with Daisy's spare broom indie, wow that indie knows all the tricks we looped the loop and did steep dives and climbed above the clouds.
Sorry abour Barca, nungate but has Daisy say's they did a lot better than our mob !.
For the riffle I have one William Hill cup final betting slip, correct score ( wrong side though ). My usual bucket if you please. Might have a blast around the race track later.

[tonyav]

Hang on Hang on, polar bear is here but I have no berg to park !.
Evening polar bear.

home school ground for me: https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7366/14065659972_2be4ec7fa2_z.jpg

[DaisyNonna]

So glad Indie Clive was a success!

[polar-bear]

Hello Tony. The berg awaits you.

[nungate]

Hello Tony, you're late! I suppose all that looping the loop held you up! Sounds like fun, I only get out occasionally a loop the loop sounds like so much fun - much better than a trip to a certain supermarket to collect something on click and collect - didn't have to do much in the way of identification as mine was the only thing to be collected! Not exactly busy!
I'll have Igor fetch your bucket, he's having some trouble this evening

[tonyav]

DT, I shall be going to an old cricket ground in Dorset early next month to a Golden wedding party, wifes cousin owns the old cricket ground and has converted the pavillion into their house.

[DaisyNonna]

Fabulous DT. Couldn't play there, would be too busy looking at the scenery.
New berg pb? Tell us more.

[DTCwordfan]

a novel use of a pavvy, tony! Will she be "in" or "out"?
