Mad Over 50's Club now open.

[Mamyalynne]

The doors are open, ladies and gentlemen, drinks and nibbles aplenty and a veritable wealth of ruffle prizes due to a rollover or two.

Extras are always welcome.

2011 brings no real change to the rules inasmuch as we do not speak of them except in times of emergency, recently we have self regulated and hope that may continue.

So come in and have a chat.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh yes we shall soon be raising our glasses in a celebratory toast.

[starone]

Mamya, if she has the baby while mountaineering, will she put it in one of those little basket things and still go on climbing with it on her back? Start them young, eh?

[ttfn]

Good evening Star - lovely to see you back in the Club! I may yet forget those words as I am getting mellower by the (large) glassful tonight. I have wondered often - what is the point in counting calories? One doesn't count petit pois before shovelling them down the gullet so why hassle poor calories in that way?

[Mamyalynne]

Oh no point at all in counting those calories, as soon as you do there are more on the plate.

Hello Goodbye Milady, is it the son and heir visiting, flutter, shall I press my best uniform?

Oh Starbuck, more rufflette prizes goodo.

[ttfn]

Star - a tip from me, if I may be so bold, buy some extra tickets tonight and if we can hold riff-raff-ruffle before milady's return <ahem> there is more than a chance of everyone winning something tonight. Aint that so Mamya?

[starone]

Quite right, ttfn, which is why I am chucking it out - oops - giving it as a magnificent prize to the rufflette.

[starone]

Have to get in there under the radar ttfn. Only chance I reckon.

[Mamyalynne]

Oh Star just seen your reference re mini mamya, yes am sure a papoose of some description will be arranged.

[ttfn]

Now you're talking Star! Keep eyeing up the rolled over prizes too. Matron! Where are they please?

[Mamyalynne]

I will awai to the store room to see what there is.

[ttfn]

Let me give you a hand Mamya - perhaps a little ciggie break on the way? I know that askyourgran is away until mid month and I think miss meg is away for another week. But will we find dear Alex in the stores matron?

[Mamyalynne]

Type Your Answer Here...Ruffle tally:

2008 calendar
various Xmas crackers
Sink plnger
Nivea bath set
1/2 tin Roses (hard centres)
1/2 tin Roses (soft centres)
Paper party hat
2 yo yos
Black and yellow shoelaces
Stig key ring
varioys hairnest and odd dentures
2 walking sticks
3 elbow crutches
a plastic sledge
broken brolly
set of deer antlers

[ttfn]

That is all very well mamya - but what about Alex?

[starone]

Wow! what a magnificent set of prizes. I thought mamya had alex stored away until the Christmas break was over. He could have lived on the Roses chocs and I'm sure there are a few dregs of wine in the empty bottles so he wouldn't have gone without.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry Dear I have not got him and have checked the oubliette and the potting shed.

[ttfn]

Bless you for looking Mamya I guess I will just have to be patient. Star - let me tell you that once a bottle is empty at the Manse it is precisely that! A gnat couldn't live off the fumes of one of those empties! Matron sort of steralizes the bottles by training a fierce hairdrier down the neck of the bottle which forces the last drop of moisture out in double quick time. Mind you, I must say Mamya is amazingly nimble on her feet to catch the last drop in her elegant little mouth (must be the long tongue she has) ;o)

[Mamyalynne]

Steady now green eyes, at the exorbitant wages I pay I deserve all the perks I can get.

[DSJ]

Hi folks, I'm back. No broken bones (they x-rayed me) but some bad bruising. They said it'll clear up in about 10 days. Another champagne and ginger beer please and are there any nibbles left?

[Mamyalynne]

Oh DSJ do have a blankie for over your knees, here is your drink and a plate of assorted savouries.

[starone]

What happened DSJ? I am agog (yes that is a word) with curiosity, as usual. Is it something to do with Christmas celebrations, or welcoming the New Year. If so, you will get even worse here, as the wine flows freely.
