Mad Over Fifties Club

[boxtops]

Dear members, I am standing outside in the drizzle with the leek and potato soup, and my crusty bread is going floppy. Is anyone attending tonight?

[ladyalex]

Nice uniform , Mamya, but you'll have to be careful not to get it stained. (White is always tricky)

Alexanderd...you are welcome to hire the hall, at club rates, of course, but I'm not too sure that you will get many takers for potato holding. Potato eating, now .....

[alexanderd]

thanks Ladyalex I have brought some potatos but I think we will bake them as I also have butter and cheese

[ladyalex]

Just so you all know, Lordalex is safely tucked up in bed with his bottle tonight. I've put the bed sides up, so we should be safe.

Do you still fit into your car, alexanderd , with all this potato holding ?
Does it have to be potatoes ? would carrots do at a pinch ?

[slinky.kate]

may i come in ,this is the place for lost souls,isnt it.i have brought some instant custard and a tin of prunes for the raffle,i also have a flask of hot toddy which will heat us up

[alexanderd]

atually Ladyalex I think there must be a sale on with carrots there seem to be a lot of them lying on lawns now that the snow has gone

[atsgran]

I could hold a baked potato and cheese, no problem

[alexanderd]

help yourself Atsgran they are just about ready,

[Mamyalynne]

evening slinky ooh prunes , just what I need

[Mamyalynne]

have a sausage too atsgran have roasted them with a sticky glaze, so mind your dentures

[slinky.kate]

would anyone like a hot toddy

[alexanderd]

Is your old problem back Mamyalynne? I thought the rhubarb had cleared that up

[Mamyalynne]

better safe than sorry alex!

[atsgran]

No problem mamy, I'll just take them out, somebody remind me tho as I keep leaving them and then they end up all stourie in the lost property office

[slinky.kate]

if no one takes a hot todddy ssoooon i;ll get drunk on this gulpin whiskey,thats what its called in the wild west

[ladyalex]

Baked potatoes and custard, just the job.
Alexanderd, I've seen carrots lying about too....I wondered if aliens had landed, bought carrots, then marked out new lading strips with them What do you think ?

A hot toddy would slip down very nicely, slinky, but I'll give the prunes a miss if you don't mind.

[slinky.kate]

my new name is annie oakley,i have whiskey in the jarro

[ladyalex]

Stourie prunes...we can't have that.
(I think I'd spell it stoorie, but that's just me being picky.)

[ladyalex]

slinky annie oakley....what a great act they were

[slinky.kate]

there you go malady,this is wonderful stuff,it fair reaches the cockles

[ladyalex]

My cockles are now thoroughly warmed.
But I think I'll just have a little more, just to be onthe safe side, like Mamya and her prunes.
