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]

Watching Weakest Link - Eastenders - strewth some of those actors are thick

[ladyalex]

Thank goodness some of us are back now.

Perhaps we should try to get the animals back into the conservatory again. Any volunteers, or shall we just lay a trail of treats ?
I do hope Alfie is safe. He's such a cutie.
Have the rugby players gone now, or are they still hacking ?

[boxtops]

Have a tailcock, lardhelmet, I think you can do with a reviver after that ordeal. I didn't see you in the TV area but I was behind a screen....

[ladyalex]

Hello again lardhelmet.
I am intrigued by your name. Were you given it by your parents, or did you choose it for yourself ?

[boxtops]

Milady it sounds like they are up with his lordship, there is a lot of stamping and singing of national anthems going on upstairs....

[Meg]

lardhelmet, nice to meet you, do you have the benefit of a tv? Mine went AWOL when this digity thing arrived

[ladyalex]

Oh no....please don't let them have given him the whisky again...

I think we'll all just hide down here for the time being and hope that the turret room floor holds up to the stamping.

[lardhelmet]

I chose it all by myself Lady. I'm named after a woman in our office whose hair is always greasy & minging & the hairdo is shaped like - guess what -a helmet!

[boxtops]

Are there any of those gravy pasties left from last time? They were yummy and I have just sucked the last bits out my scarf - I could do with a refill?

[society]

Well did you all miss me? After downing that triple whiskey Ladyalex served me, I fell asleep in the vestibule on Lordalex's favourite leather armchair.

[ladyalex]

I know that woman........
She can be useful when the cobwebs need knocking down from the ceiling, though.

Miss Meg, didn't a boy scout come round when your TV went digity to show you how to use box it ?

[Meg]

Off for a cig, will round the animals up, not sure about his lordship, he didn't take kindly last time I tried to lassoo him, does he always walk round with a rifle and a hip flask?

[ladyalex]

I missed you, society, but I saw you nailing someone's part to the wall somewhere else...so I thought you were probably best left where you were to enjoy yourself.

[lardhelmet]

Yes I do have a TV Miss Meg yes - not a very big one tho! Why?

[boxtops]

I saw that too milady, do you think we have been having joint hallucinations here tonight?, there is lots of popping in and out and fixing mirrors elsewhere in the hall! Shall we draw the raffle, do you know where mamyalynne keeps the tickets?

[Meg]

Alas no scout used boxed me. Son got me a free thingy but I don't understand. Why can't things be left alone. Feel a bit puddled.

[ladyalex]

Oh no...someone's let him at the gun cabinet again.

Can we summon up a group and go and try to get lordalex back in before he does someone a mischief.
thanks for the warning Miss Meg. I'd be careful lighting your ciggy, though...it gives him something to sight on.

[lardhelmet]

I doubt think you'd be able to lift her up to do the cobwebs on those high ceilings Lady- she's rather large!

[ladyalex]

I suppose we might as well draw the raffle. After all, lordalex will come back in when he's hungry.

Here we go.



And tonight's winning numbers are green!

[boxtops]

Perhaps he's shut mamyalynne in the orangery again, or perhaps he;s doing some activities with the Kiwis. This is getting out of hand tonight, should we summon PC Politic?
