Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers, after a busy (and for some painful) week, time for all Mad Over Fifties to come on down, take off their corsets and relax! Igor is by the entrance eagerly anticipating the arrival of our guests in order for him to stash away their outer garments and broom sticks for concealment around the Towers (who knows if they will ever be seen again!)
Tonight's Tailcock is the "Monsoon" well named and under current weather conditions here at the Towers, most appropriate.
As a result of the inclement weather we have decided to cancel all of our outdoors events this evening, sadly there will be no racing on the race track, or bonfires on the beach, guests may wish to wander around the grounds if they so desire just be sure to take an umbrella from stand by the main entrance.......
Of course the indoor pool is available for members, who may borrow swimwear if they have not brought their own, (members ought to remember that indoor pool does not approve of skinny dipping), as it is under cover, the hot tub is bubbling away nicely on the North Tower and his little friend the mini bar has been restocked and is awaiting his first visitors. The bungee is also ready for use just be careful not to bounce too close to the moat, the piranhas haven't been fed yet today (it's on Igor's list of things to do).
Our hot plate special tonight is meatballs in red wine sauce, (a house speciality) served on a bed of steaming pasta! We also have a delicious selection of volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies. On the pudding trolley we have an orange chocolate mousse, and of course, whipped cream!
In view of the nasty weather we have decided to open up our home cinema, tonight we will be showing that film classic The Maltese Falcon, and a short programme of Bugs Bunny cartoons (Nungate's favourite movie actor)
Club members who wish to dance are invited to the Ballroom to throw some shapes to the music of our favourite local band the Tone Deafs. I am delighted to announce that I have finally managed to keep those Minstrels out of the Gallery and out of the Towers, so members will not be subjected to their tired old madrigals and toccattas! Members are also invited to make full use of all the facilities here at the Towers, we have a well stocked library, which has all the latest magazines and periodicals, from Knitting for
Nuclear Physicist to Quantum Mechanics for the Home Cook! Our fully equipped gym is suffering from a lack of use and our fitness trainer has been terribly depressed from having no one but our chef Scoff to put through his paces (sadly Scoff is still the same size and weight....) All of this and more awaits members, so come on in and join the fun!

For the rofl tonight I offer:
4 fence posts,
a load of old fencing
half a dozen plastic plant pots

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

carriages at midnight

As I do not pretend to make my own wine that is irrelevant.

[DTCwordfan]

Neither do I - I'll leave home wine-making to 'im upstairs....

[DTCwordfan]

Would be fun to own a vineyard though.....

[DaisyNonna]

Plenty in Sussex

[DTCwordfan]

some down here as well, inc a brilliant champagne-look-alike, Camel Wines....my bro-in-law had his Francophile-devotee of wine totally stumped and then bemused when he produced a bottle of that, the bottle hidden from him....

[nungate]

They grow tea down in Cornwall don't they?

[DaisyNonna]

Gentle DT?
Were you aware that ribbing comprises the ends of your knitted sleeves?
And the bottom of your jumpers and the bit around your neck?
Joking!

[DTCwordfan]

Indeed they do, nungate, Tregothnan tea....part of Lord Falmouth's vast empire and does it cost.....

Not wearing a sweater, Daisy, it's too humid down here at the moment!

[nungate]

wish it was a bit humid here.
I thought I'd seem something about Cornish tea on tv

[DaisyNonna]

Just as well DT.

[DTCwordfan]

No sparkies yet.....

See the ref has taken off the teams in Miami. an electrical storm sweeping through.

[DaisyNonna]

Sparkies?

[DTCwordfan]

They also make gates - two here. They're not cheap but custom to fit and they do last well. Suggest that they are better than the tea but if Falmouth can make a penny, he'll take a pound if he can.

[DTCwordfan]

Lightning bolts, Daisy......

[DaisyNonna]

Oh. Thanks for the information.
Love a good storm.

[DaisyNonna]

Have not drunk tea for years, not since I moved to Sussex. Tastes dreadful.

[nungate]

never drink tea! last time was 22nd July 1988! (I had a shock!)

[DaisyNonna]

So embarrassing when an under twelve pupil brought a mug of tea into the playground at break, saying, with a big smile, "Here you go Miss, milk and sugar."

[nungate]

nice gesture though Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

Excellent nun, did not want to hurt his feelings. A gentleman in the making.
