Mad Over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The club is now open.

There will be a raffle as usual tonight , so members are encouraged.

Suggestions for our summer outings can now be posted.

Will the member who is persistently causing the puddles in the upper outside green bathroom please try to avoid doing this in the future. A mop can be found.

[ladyalex]

Hello again all, sorry I was called away...lordalex needed his evening tipple.

Isle of Man...with forts , brownies and banoffee pie..what's to disagree with......the journey over I suppose. Do we think the driver can cope ? what with his blindfols and going over the sea and all ?
Has your friend been in boxtops ? Have I missed them ?

[Naomicorlett]

I yam a tax exile . i will send the private jet. Do youse require the normal sized or the extra large ?

[alexanderd]

Is that big wheel still at Laxey Naomi or did the hamster die?

[Meg]

Are we going now, this is all very quick, do we have to get a ferry or will our broom sticks suffice?

[ladyalex]

Oh I think you should super-size us, naomi.
Soory to hear that you had been exiled...do you think a petition would help ?

[Naomicorlett]

Keep up Miss Meg ! jet on way.! Hampster died but we have tame long-tails running laxey wheel now.

[Naomicorlett]

Please don't de-exile me I like it here.

[Meg]

LOL at alexandred's hamster.

[boxtops]

Shall I put the raffle prizes in a hamper and take them with us? Do we have to go through customs? I am not sure whether the bacon and the noodles will fit in 100ml containers for hand baggage.

[Meg]

I'm trying to keep up but I think it's time for one of my anti-confusion tablets (or a tailcock) whichever works faster.

[ladyalex]

Tailcocks all round, I think.

Unfortunately, I cannot come with you as I have not made arrangements for lordalex. You know we cannot leave him alone here. Not after last time. He took 'Keep the home fires burning' to heart.....
You al go and enjoy yourselves, though. I'll look forward to the tales of fun, hamster wheels and TT...why is everyone on the Isle of Man three legged and TT, please, I've always wondered.

[Naomicorlett]

When one travels by super-size private jet one does not concern oneself with 100mls rubbish !! That is purely for the hoi-poloi on normal planes . i will fast track youse all through the formalities. Tailcocks are mixed and awaiting. Should One have one's staff make up the east wing for accomodation ? How many will be travelling to Mannannan's Fair Isle ?

[Mamyalynne]

Can I smuggle Alfie in he`d love a go on the wheel and I will invent a new tailcock to honour the Isle,A triskelion with cointreau and blue bols

[boxtops]

Ladyalex, my invitee has not clocked in so either they are watching the telly at home or perhaps they could not find the address. They may have gone next door by mistake.

[boxtops]

We might all have blue bols by the time we have been on the big wheel

[Naomicorlett]

3 legged -----only the men !!
TT ?? Certainly not teetotal here. The Isle of man = 75000 alcoholics clinging to a rock in the Irish sea .

[ladyalex]

I hope not, boxtops...if they have gone next door you may never see them again.

If they haven't made contact with you by next week, we'll organise a raiding party to spring them.

[Naomicorlett]

" ,A triskelion with cointreau and blue bols " and the third ingredient ??

[ladyalex]

Well, I'm glad to know that Naomi.....why do the sports programmes always go on and on about TT then ?
Does it have another meaning on the IOM ? Like Totally Tailcocks ?
