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?

[Mamyalynne]

sorry katy can`t do the firewater will stick to my tailcocks if you don`t mind

Alfie likes carrots if theres a glut, may take him for a walk, that will mess those pesky aliens up

[atsgran]

I was being polite my lady stour insted of stoor, perhaps it's a scottish thing

[ladyalex]

Do you cleave to my alien theory, then , Mamya ?
I could not think of any other explanation.

I think we should all move the carrots around a bit. That'll teach them.

[ladyalex]

Sorry, atsgran, didn't see your crooked pinkie there when you typed.
Perhaps it is a scottish thing. Are you scottish ?

[Mamyalynne]

I will throw a few turnips around that`ll fox em

[slinky.kate]

i think i'll go and see these alien carrots,they're not like triffids are they,otherwise we might be stuck in here,i will take my flask in case the carrots takes me hostage

[atsgran]

Saw some foxes in the back garden mamy, so your ruse worked. Yes milady I am

[slinky.kate]

where are you from atsgran

[ladyalex]

I would welcome your input on the carrots, slinky annie kate oakley.

Turnips, what a good idea.
We could leave them outside for a day or so then collect them in time to bash them for Burns' Night.
Wee sleekit coorin' tim'rous neepie.....

[atsgran]

Ayrshire slinky.kate.

[ladyalex]

If you are scottish, I can see why stour woud be more polite than stoor.....

By the way, did you know that only scots make a difference in how they pronounce 'need' and 'kneed'. Everyone else says those 2 words as if they are the same. Or so I am told.

[slinky.kate]

atsgran ,used to live in kilwinning,where are you

[alexanderd]

have you brought any of that benedictine across with you Ladyalex?

[Mamyalynne]

Monks now, whatever next?

[atsgran]

Dreghorn Kate, not far away, where are you now.

[slinky.kate]

right i'm of on my alien hunt,see you later'''

[ladyalex]

Well, I might have a little of it stashed somewhere......would anyone care for a snifter....
Be careful not to confuse it with the Buckfast. lordalex files them both under 'monks' in the cellar.

[ladyalex]

I don't think you should go alone, Kate.

Wasn't there a ghost hunt once that all ended in tears ?

[atsgran]

Is that allowed, keeping monks in your cellar? especially filing them

[Mamyalynne]

Oh I remember the ghost hunt, didn`t we mislay a member that night? I bet they are still behind a secret panel somewhere
