Mad over Fifties Club
247 Answers
The Club is now Open
Welcome one and all on this cold but no longer snowy evening.
The Committee wish to extend their thanks to all members who so splendidly helped out last week with the digging and de-icing. There are quite a few items in the lost property cupboard, so please have a look there before you go. For example, a string vest, a sheepskin mitt (left hand), half a jar of Vick, seven wooly scarves and a cheese and pickle sandwich. (That is just a small selection, there are many more.)
The Committee are very hopeful that one of our members will be able to give us an improving talk tonight as they are unanimous that we are all in need of improving.
Members are also advised that, due to the prevailing weather conditions, there may be a bit of leakage tonight. Several buckets have been placed in strategic places throughout the building and Members are encouraged to make use of them.
As always, all contributions to the raffle will be much appreciated.
So far, we have:
A pair of string pants
A sheepskin mitt (right hand)
Seven woolly hats.

Hello everyone. I'm celebrating. I've got an avatar. Thanks to everyone who encouraged me, especially Naz, whose lovely design I unfortunately could not use because it told me I was infringing somebody's rights, I think it was Starbucks. Anyway, I have got a butterfly, as if you needed telling, as you can see it. As I am early I am going to treat you all to my poem Methuselah's Diet, by Anonymous.
Methuselah ate what he found on his plate,
And never, as people do now,
Did he note the amount of the calorie count,
He ate it because it was chow.
He wasn't disturbed as at dinner he sat,
Devouring a roast or a pie,
To think it was lacking in granular fat
Or a couple of vitamins shy.
He cheerfully chewed each species of food,
Unmindful of troubles or fears,
Lest his health might be hurt by some fancy dessert
And he lived over 900 years.
So that's set the scene for feasting and merriment. What have we got to eat (and drink) Mamy?

Welcome to you all.
Thanks for the drinks and nibbles, Mamya...and of course the raffle prizes.

Dr b we have all had quite enough snow here to be going onwith, but thank you for your kind offer of hatching batter. Do you often make up a batch ?

I hope Mike regrets his derogatory remarks about women on another thread, yes, all right, I've forgotten which one but he implied that women were more likely to do silly things than men. I told him to stand on the naughty step for a while, but I don't think it cured him somehow. Mamy, you're good at this, a good box around the ears might do him a bit of good. Or make him wait for his mince pie and tailcock. Show him who's boss here.
