Mad over fifties club

[ladyalex]

Good evening everyone, the club is now open.

It is still rather chilly, so come in close to the fire and have some sherry.
No doubt there will be tailcocks and nibbles later .

Tonight's talk will be on 'Maoris I have known'

[lardhelmet]

Thank you Box - will know next time it comes up in conversation

[ladyalex]

Lordalex is very well this week , which makes a change. All his parts are in working order and he is having his customary after dinner snooze in the lower turret room with the dogs keeping his feet warm.
New members may wish to creep upstairs and view him, but please be quiet as I cannot be responsible for his behaviour if he is suddenly roused.

[Mamyalynne]

Here I am Milady and all, was locked in the orangery whilst sneaking a ciggie, Golly its cold isnt it, have made a tray of tailcocks and some mulled wine

[boxtops]

Milady, there are some rugby footballers at the door, they are doing the haka - what shall we do?

[ladyalex]

It would be wonderful if you could attract the attention of the itinerant Italian, boxtops. There is no sign of Mamyalynne yet , so no food.
If she doesn't turn up soon, we will have to raid the pantry ourselves.
Pleased to see that you are paying attention, lardhelmet....you sound like someone who might be no stranger to a kitchen, so perhaps you could knock something up for us all later?

[petal54]

are the stairs still boobytrapped with the old mantraps?still have a gammy foot from when I was cleaning and the power went

[ladyalex]

Mamyalynne good evening and welcome!
Thanks so much for the snacks.

Please please let the haka-ing rugby players in, they must be the speakers.

[society]

By the way I'm not mad nor over fifty. It's just that you lot are so pleasant and intelligent, I'm attracted and always like to say howdy.

[boxtops]

society, are you one of the rugby players then? The rest of them are very beefy.

[petal54]

i see society is keeping in with some flattery,but hope not too sane

[Mamyalynne]

I have not known any Maoris but I do have a boomerand and am donating my didgeridoo to the raffle

[society]

Do I sound like a rugby player, even a breed of the male species? I'm all woman :-)

[boxtops]

Here is *** the icecream man, to take your orders. He only has soft scoop (and flakes) which surprises me given the temperature outside. He says he will give us the icecream free because nobody else is buying and he needs to get rid of it. Place your orders!

[lardhelmet]

So - if I'm over do I get in free? Like you get in free at Slimming World if your weight's on target?

[boxtops]

Milady I am dismayed to see that the name of the icecream seller has been censored, is this a committee decision? His name is the same as Guy Fawkes (only in Italian).

[ladyalex]

Society, it is not obligatory to be over 50 to join this club, but not being mad might be more of a difficulty.......however, usually simply joining in is sufficient evidence of madness to allow at least temporary membership to be granted.

Petal, I'm sorry to say that there are still some boobytraps on some of the stairs. I have begged lordalex to remove them all, but he had another letter from the Tax people last week, so......

[petal54]

plenty of female rugby players,& no harm in a mixed team,keeps the chaps on their toes

[boxtops]

..and society I do apologise, I don't see too well in the dark, I mistook your fur coat for a hairy-rugby-like look. May I get you an icecream in compensation?

[ladyalex]

I'll have a 99 please from the nameless Italian.


You can certainly get in free, lardhelmet. You may have to slip the bouncer blobbies a little something, though.

[petal54]

i'll be v carefull,thanks for the warning
