Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

Good Evening and Welcome to all our members and to any other waifs and strays that care to grace our clubhouse.
It is a miserable night out, as the poet says:

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member--
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!

But we shall be warm and cosy inside with our drinks and nibbles .

Any members wishing to volunteer to give tonight's talk should make themselves known.

Good evening Milady, what a lyrical opening to the night.

Ena (ttfn) sends apologies, she has IT problems and may not be able to attend, she is with us in spirit though (large Brandies methinks)

Tailcocks and nibbles are on the hall buffet table.

[Mamyalynne]

For the raffle I have

Banana bath foam
3 apostle spoons
10 beermats
a jigsaw of the leaning tower of pisa

[ladyalex]

Hello Mamya, glad you approve of my quotation.
Hope I win the jigsaw...are all the bits there ?

Also, the banana bath foam...very intriguing...didn't know you had to bathe bananas. (Though I always wash my apples .)

[DSJ]

Good evening to you both. I apologise for this fleeting visit (I'm writing my Christmas cards and must finish them tonight) but, as you see, I have brought two raffle prizes to make up for my absence. I have an oven-ready turkey, which I caught myself, plus the usual box of Black Magic. Have a good evening and please contact me by owl-mail of I win a prize. See you all next week. Byeeeeee.....

[ladyalex]

Hello and goodbye DSJ...such a fleeting visit...perhaps if your poor wrist gets tired of writing cards you may return later in the evening.

Oven ready turkey and Black Magic ..there's a winning combination if ever there was.
Fire up the oven Mamya, Christmas has come early.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh DSJ what a lovely and very festive offering, will pop the bird in the scullery for now.

Oh yes Milady always wash my fruit you can never be sure.

The jigsaw, well not sure if all pieces are there, maybe the tower may lean a bit more??

[ladyalex]

I think I would still like to win it, what's a few degrees of tilt between friends ?

[Mamyalynne]

In deed we all list somewhat byt he end of the evening, Hic!!

[ladyalex]

Quiet again this week here...but it's early yet I guess...

[Mamyalynne]

It is and plenty to occupy people elsewhere

[petal54]

sorry I'm behind hand,sidetracked by a wizard,+ Ann w's dancing.M'Lady is very poetic this evening,

[ladyalex]

Hello petal, how lovely to see you again....
Are you on first name terms with this wizard who detained you, or was he some random wizard that just sort of cropped up ?
Would be interested to know as I have never met a wizard and don't read Harry Potter.

[petal54]

he is an eccentric aunt on my mother's side,,& like myself,tends to be slightly strange

[ladyalex]

well, it takes all sorts or even oddfellows.....

[Mamyalynne]

Oh Petal that sounds quite romantic and other worldly, did he perform any magic??

[Prudentia]

We have a log fire burning away in the inglenook, some chilled Chardonnay on the side just in case we have visitors, if we don't then too bad, we may be reluctantly forced to consume it ourselves, its a hard life out here in remote rural derbyshire, Prudentia .xxx

[ladyalex]

good evening, prudentia.
Enjoy your wine.

[petal54]

I'm hoping hes picked me the winning lotto numbers!but I doubt i'll be so lucky

[ladyalex]

Does he have a magic wand and a tall hat ?

[Prudentia]

good evening lady alex, we just wish you were here to share it with us, there is a cellar full of it beneath our toasted toes, Prudentia, xxx
