Mad Over Fifties CLub

[ladyalex]

Good Evening. The Club is now open.

Welcome everyone.

At the last Committee meeting it was decided that there would be no further raffles.

However, we do have several items intended for the raffle.....

half a pair of cotton gloves (Size 7 pink)
4 packets of Fig Rolls
A small tin of Hawick Balls
and a packet of Tenas.

[boxtops]

I'm not telling you anything about what Stephen Fry would call my general ignorance, miladyship, you are speaking in strange words the night.

[petal54]

don't go off half cocked Mamya,watch out for the boogie men in them ther woods

[ladyalex]

Nothing strange about my words.
Sniff, huff

[petal54]

have another tailcock,m'lady

[ladyalex]

Thank you , petal, don't mind if I do.
It's medicinal tonight, to steady my nerves with those birds.

Can anyone else hear a rumbling noise ?

[Mamyalynne]

Have the blunderbuss all cocked and ready, will promise not to take out Uncle Joe if I spot him.

[boxtops]

You'll have to forgive me milady, no huff intended, I am a stranger to these parts.

[ladyalex]

That's OK, boxtops. I will no longer huff.

Mamya, I want you to get rid of the pigeons (pigeon pie tomorrow perhaps) but please do be carefull with that blunderbuss. it hasn't been used for some time and I don't think lordalex cleans it very often.

[petal54]

I'll go check the plumming,with this rain after the few dry weeks may be causing a backlog,never mind pigeon poo,if you get my drift!

[Mamyalynne]

Yes I hear a faint rumbling but the space station is passing over tonight about now .

Plus Ellie has a touch of indigestion.

[ladyalex]

I'm reassured by both Mamya and Petal
What would I do without my dear retainers....


More tailcocks I think

[boxtops]

I can't see the space station, too much cloud. Perhaps we should invite them to join the club - they would have to be honorary members, they can't be over 50, but they must be mad to be flying about up there.

[petal54]

all to the air raid shelter!

[Meg]

I'm late and confused, are there to be no more raffles? I've brought a pesky neighbour to donate as a\ prize. How are you all, my dog has flown off on her magic duvet again. As soon as she returns I will be able to go to bed.

[Mamyalynne]

Oooh is it tin hat time, shall get the windup gramophone and the veralynn 78`s

[ladyalex]

I've been to have a look and it's too cloudy for me to see the space station ...but....the pigeons are all looking upwards now.....I think they can see something we can't.

They're really spooking me now.
I think I'll join petal in the old Anderson shelter. Thank goodness we aristos never throw anything away.

[petal54]

a bit of a boogie might take our minds off thungs

[Mamyalynne]

every time I get near with the gun, they are off! Then straight back as I turn away, swear they are posessed.

[boxtops]

what - the spacemen? I know they move quickly!

[petal54]

that count von count fella isn't back again is he?
