Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now open.

Welcome all to our weekly meeting. I am so glad to be back in the fold ,so to speak, after a couple of weeks absence.
I trust all went well when I was away and that the emergency services were not unduly bothered. (Remember the warning last year.)

I am sure that tailcocks and nibbles will be arriving shortly.

Raffle prizes so far include:

a packet of pink wax earplugs (hardly used)

half a tube of polo mints

and, from lordalex, three gas masks . (He can be so thoughtful sometimes).

[Meg]

Petal, do you bat for the other team?

[ttfn]

I missed you too boxy. Good evening m'lady and ladies.

[petal54]

no,keep away from deep square legs,too much volcanic fallout in the sherry affecting my tabs

[ladyalex]

Welcome, welcome ttfn.
I do like your name, it is catchy.
If boxtops has introduced you, I am sure you qualify for admittance.
If I haven't said so already, hello boxtops.

[ttfn]

Thank you m'lady. I have been confined to barracks much of this week but I did have a rummage through my bathroom cabinet for the sake of the raffle and have brought a bottle of Amami setting lotion - I know it is really a night late but hope you will accept it in the spirit in which it is given.

[ladyalex]

Are we having a square dance ?
Do we have a caller ?

I'll have to look out my pumps.

Petal, dear, I think you have to do the fairy foundation course first, then specialise in either tooth fairy, christmas tree fairy, tinkerbell etc.

I have managed to procure half a Cwt of tripe and a gallon of brown vinegar. Would anyone care to indulge?

[Meg]

Lovely to meet you ttfn, is Esmerelda still about, I would like a refund.

[ladyalex]

Oh Amami....I hope I win that...but if I do will I be able to wait until next Friday ?

[ladyalex]

Hello Sandy.
Thanks for the tripe.
I'm not sure I would like some (I am an aristo, you know, and in our world we rarely encounter tripe, well not the edible variety). But I am sure some of our members would be happy to indulge.

[ttfn]

No - just keep applying the process of BST m'lady. I will pass on the tripe if you don't think me rude. A tail cock would be nice - I have brought some for you all to enjoy - Warninks with a Wincarnis chaser.

[Mamyalynne]

ttfn welcome, ant friend of boxtops etc

sandy I will see what I can do with the trip, not suitable for the animals with all that vinegar is it?

Fairy foundation course is that a certificate in washing up

[boxtops]

Mamyalynne, I am sure ttfn will not mind me mentioning to you that she fell off a ladder two weeks ago, she might need your ministrations in the ouch departments. I thought her ability to climb trees would be useful to us in the Club.

[sandyRoe]

Shall I place the tripe in a trough in the servants hall? They could slurp up a portion as they waited to carry the good food into the dining room.

[ttfn]

Thank you mamya - however I am not such a little friend of boxy's (nor am I a Geordie)! I understand the house and grounds require continual maintenance m'lady. May i supplicate myself and offer my services as tree surgeon extroadinaire?

[boxtops]

We could use the tripe as a blanket if it gets chilly later.

[ladyalex]

I think you are going to be an asset, ttfn...new tailcocks onyour first night and great sounding ones too. i think I may indulge.

Madame Esmeralda was here a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't been round all the crooks and nannies yet to check if she is still here. I doubt she does refunds, though. She just says something like 'Act of Cod'

[boxtops]

^ haha ttfn, we call size 8 and under ant-sized, noway would it fit one of my legs let alone the rest of me!

[ladyalex]

I'm always glad to have a doctor inteh house, ttfn.

Can you have a look at my legs later ? They're a bit like tree trunks.

[ttfn]

You have just reminded me of the cartoon character 'Minnie' in the Woman's Realm! I could start with a nail trim if that would help?
