Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for the latest meeting of Mad Over Fifties Club. Igor is at the door eagerly awaiting tonights arrivals so that he can gather up their coats, cloaks a broomsticks for concealment around the Towers, members should note that all items left for concealment are left at their own risk and we cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of our revels
Tonights Tailcock will be the "Dyspeptic Daiquiri", shall we say it's an "interesting brew" not to mention colourful!
Our hot plate special tonight is roast chicken with all the trimmings! For those who might prefer something lighter, we have a selection of volly vonts
horses doovers and canopies. On the pudding trolley, we have a special request by Queenofmean for an Ice Cream Gateau, layers of different flavours of ice cream, swathed in whipped cream and topped with a selection of fresh fruit.
We are pleased to announce the return of the bungee to the topmost tower
and the hot tub is also back in his rightful place atop the North Tower, and of course his best friend the Mini bar has returned there too (fully stocked)
(sadly the indoor pool is bereft now his friends have relocated from the dungeon) Now that the lighter evenings have returned we are delighted to say that the gardens and the maze are also open for members use. Rowing boats will be available in a few weeks for rowing on the lake, and the racetrack has had new floodlights for night time driving and the cars are all ready for racing!
Our indoor entertainment comes in the shape of our Minstrels who are tuning up in the gallery of the Great Hall getting ready to serve up their usual selection of madrigals and toccattas. In the Ball Room, we have engaged the services of the Tone Deafs a selection of Eighties Hits. As always our indoor facilities are available to all members, as it will be a few weeks before we can use the outdoor pool, members are reminded that the indoor pool is ready for use (swimsuits are available) I would urge members to give it a try, he's feeling very low since his friends have returned to the North Tower.
Our well stocked library has all the latest magazines and periodicals, including the latest edition of Quantum Physics for Midwives. Members must remember not to feed the Triffid if they visit the conservatory, its next feed is due at Easter. (would the owner of the green hat found at the feet of the triffid please collect it from Lost Property) I am happy to say that owing to members good behaviour in not throwing litter into the moat, the piranhas have recovered from their bout of indigestion (the pepto bismol was turning the water pink!)
Please hand all contributions for the rofl to Belle in the vestibule)
For tonights rofl I offer:
- Pack of needles (rusty and blunt)
- tangle of embroidery threads
- half finished cross stitch picture (chart lost)

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Good evening your Ladyship, hands broomstick to Igor lovely to see you again. For the roffle I bring an unfinished half knitted mohair sweater (might interest Tony or DTC) and unguents for Queenie's toe

[DTCwordfan]

Evening to all........

Sneezing

blows all things out the Tower windows

it started with Psybbo's mohair, carried
on with warmer weather.

need a hankie, they are clean
and ironed in the box by the bed.

the Triffid on the pollen road
lighter fluids in the evening

not everyone is immune, I have
heard there is high trollish pollution in
the air.

sand from the sahara.

other things in Nungate land are clear, all clear.



So rifl, offerings: one broken Aintree fence, three horsehoes, one stirrup, torn silk, two bags of horseshit, one Betfred betting slip (for use next year), three pairs of chav's knicks branded Big-Betty, two gallons of Mersey water, one sign saying 'Speke Airport - *** here,' a half bottle of Jamaica red rum.

Good evening Madame Sibs, I shall endeavour to take good care of you broomstick. I am sure young Madame will be pleased to try some of your unguents on her painful digit.

Shall I fetch you a bucket?

[nungate]

Evening Sibs, evening DT, I trust you are both well?

I see Igor has already started with the drinks trolley, you sound a trifle bitter there DT, didn't your horse win?

[DTCwordfan]

Long Run had a very short run.......

Chilli was one who cleaned up.

[nungate]

I stopped betting on that race many years ago, I used to win quite regularly on that race, my first being Highland Wedding way, way back.
Queenie had a bet on today, I told her to save her money but ...

[DaisyNonna]

Good evening friends. Sorry I am a bit late, made a slight detour to track down Rheged. Am I right in thinking it was Cumbria. For the rifle I have a box of Cadbury's Milk Tray, Three hardly used Triple A batteries and a sheet of assorted Happy Birthday/Congratulations/ Best Wishes stickers (gold).
Would love a DD. What colour?

[tonyav]

Good evening your nungateship and Psybbo ( ohhhh mohair ! ). Thought I'd try a different method of travelling up to the towers this week after last weeks fiasco with SX, wind surfed up this week however I damaged my board when I crashed into the Isle of Man ( amazing what you can fix with Blu Tack ).
Anyhoo I'm here now and for the roffle I have a rear light lens suitable for a 1970 Moscovich ( gawd, they were rubbish cars ).

[Igor61]

Good evening Madame Daisy, I have your bucket all ready, isn's it a lovely shade of pink (I think it must be the pepto bismol that did it, we've been buying it in bulk recently)

[Psybbo]

Also rans or not for me, mother gets £8 for her £4 investment but got money back on Vino Griego @ 33/1

[DaisyNonna]

Tony, I thought I was a bit off course.

[nungate]

Hello Daisy, hello Tony, I have to ask, why were you off the Isle of Man?
You'll find us on the East coast!

I see Igor is all ready with your drinks, he is soooo efficient!

[tonyav]

Gawd I was a bit slow there, evening Daisy and DT. Igor my usual bucket if you please.

[queenofmean]

lesson learnt mum....

Hi everybody in best simpsons voice

[DaisyNonna]

Pink! I will just close my eyes when I drink it. Beautifully shiny bucket though.
Dt, so your civilised part of the country is once more connected to by rail to the rest of us plebs.

I thought I'd take the scenic route, nungate ( never again though ).

[Igor61]

your drink Tony sir, Madame, Daisy can I fetch you anything else?

[nungate]

That's good Queenie, listen to your mum, now when I tell you to place a bet, just do it ..... I am seldom wrong about these things

[nungate]

Ah! The old scenic route .... it can be nice coming up the west side, often done it ourselves, it's the bit where we have to turn off and head east that bores me
