Mad Over Fifties Club

Apologies for the late start - computer lost my post.....again!
Good evening and Welcome, me in out of this "summer rain" ... Tonight's Tailcock is the "Claret Cup" (well it is the Open) so do come along and dip your bucket in the vat of Tailcock and give it a try.
Due to the inclement weather we feel it best to keep tonight's activities within the confines of the Towers. So to this end we have engaged our favourite local band, The Tone Deafs to play in the ballroom for members wishing to dance and we have also secured a copy of the film classic "Some Like it Hot" which will be screened in the library.
Tonight we will be having another running buffet, for those members who manage to catch it, feel free to indulge, and for those members who are unable or unwilling to give chase, supper has been laid out in the snug, where they will also find a selection of volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers.
Members are free to make use of the facilities here at the Towers, might I add that the indoor pool has felt somewhat neglected lately as members have been making full use of the outdoor pool and the beach. He is hopeful of having some company this evening. We have fired up the hot tub on the North Tower and dusted the cobwebs off the bungee for members who feel the need of a soak or of themselves off our topmost tower towards a moat full of piranhas.............

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals


carriages at midnight.

did they have violins back in the time of Bede?

[tonyav]

Who is this bloke Bede ?.

[nungate]

The Venerable Bede - a monk from the Dark Ages I think, wrote a history of England or something like it - it's very vague but somewhere in my memory there is something about him.....just can't recall it properly

[tonyav]

Ah, a monk !, bet lj would be interested in him !.

[DaisyNonna]

Think lyres came before viols which came before violins

[tonyav]

Was it a lute, Daisy.

[DTCwordfan]

sorry - running around trying to find misplaced pills... what she does with her blister packs, who knows - just a day left in this week's one......aargh.

Better say goodnight and go and have a second pass to find them, quietly......have a good week all. And come on Wory Mackerelwoy tomorrow....

[nungate]

DT, couldn't you have all her pills put into a Doucette box at the pharmacy?
That's how all of my mum's pills come, and brother them out of her reach.

Meantime, good night, and sleep well

[tonyav]

G'night DT, good luck with finding the pills.

[DTCwordfan]

Blister packs at the moment and that's what has gone missing......

[DaisyNonna]

A lyre is part of the violin family. Not sure but think the lute is part of the guitar family.

[nungate]

Not having much fun with pills these days myself, my new painkillers are making me so sleepy! struggling stay awake! Though they are helping with the pain

[tonyav]

Yes I think your right, Daisy.

nungate if the help with the pain thats gotta be a good thing hasn't it ?.

[DTCwordfan]

Or is that the late night Drambuie.....lol....

Night.

[DaisyNonna]

Best wishes DT. Keeping watch on a parent's pills is horrendous.

[anneasquith]

well, if they are helping the pain. you may get less sleepy,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,hello :)

[nungate]

yeah but, because I'm always asleep I can't feel the pain! Yet, despite the pills the pain in the knee still keeps me awake!

[nungate]
