Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers, time for AB's Mad Over Fifties to meet for an evening of culture and reflection or failing that the usual mayhem and madness which usually takes place on these evenings.
Igor is lurking at the main entrance waiting for the arrival of our guests so he can help them out of their coats, cloaks and broomsticks in order for their concealment in the variety of crooks and nannies he has found around the Towers members are advised that their items are left at their own risk and the management cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of the evening
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Eurovision" an international sort of brew, yet interesting..........
Our Hot Plate Specials Tonight have a truly international theme, we have Paella, Sauerkraut, Spaghetti, Fondue, and pickled herrings.....of course there will also volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers. On the pudding trolley, we have Tiramisu, Danish pastries, Crema Catalana, and Gateau St Honore (I have just gained 10lbs just typing that!)
For our entertainment tonight we have engaged the services of our favourite local band the Tone Deafs who will be performing the greatest hits of Eurovision, and we have also decided to have a Karaoke evening, it's going to be busy down in the Ballroom tonight! Yet again the Minstrels have found a way in, and are setting up in the Gallery in the Great Hall ready with their usual selection of madrigals and toccattas................spare us..........please!
For members not wishing to indulge in any musical interlude, we have an interesting variety of amenities for our members, from the indoor pool down in the dungeon, (swimwear is available for members who didn't bring any - skinny dippy is frowned upon - indoor pool does not approve! On the topmost Tower, members will find the bungee, all ready and waiting for bouncing, just be careful not to land in the moat, the piranhas bite! On the North Tower we have the hot tub just bubbling away, nearby his friend the mini bar, (suitably replenished from last meeting) is waiting. Members are welcome to wander in the extensive grounds of the Towers, and they can also access the beach, though bathing is not recommended as the water is too cold at the moment. Also outdoors, there is a race track and cars ready for racing and the rowing boats are again available for rowing out on the lake. Back indoors, members can also use our library, gym and the conservatory (though members are reminded not to feed the Triffid its not due another feed until midsummer)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Did you unlock the gates?

[Igor61]

Chubb opened the gates earlier stop fretting young Madame

[tonyav]

Evening your nungateship, hows the demolition work going ?.
Gawd, what a trip, decided to travel up on SX seeing has I decided ( after your advice last week ) to use the East coast route got lost 68 times, he doesn't like travelling up the East coast, not at all used to it he says.
Anyhoo, for the riffle I have one Garmin sat nav ( won't sat or nav anymore ) and one street map for Formell Magna in North Dorset, great map I didn't get lost at all in any of the Four streets in that village.

[DaisyNonna]

Hi nun, Queenie. Got blown rather off course. Came via Ripon. Strong south westerlies when I left. Nearly in Shoreham before I could head north.

[nungate]

Evening Tony, have suspended demolition work for the time being
So your sat nav won't sat or nav - have you told it to look up? After all that's where the satellites are..........
Thought the SX might like a change of scenery on the way up - yu could ask Daisy if she has a spare broom and you could try flying up
Need a bucket?

[Igor61]

Good evening Madame Daisy, sorry to hear of your travelling travails, glad you managed to get here, can I bring you something?

[nungate]

Hey Daisy, glad you could make it here, those winds are a bit off! I see Igor has already asked if you'd like something, have Eric and Malkin got themselves ensconced in the Snug? I'm sure Teddy and Henry will be joining them soon

[tonyav]

Evening Daisy, yes that wind is bit strong tonight. Do you have a spare broom that I could perhaps borrow from you, I've tried various methods of transport to get to the towers but it always seems to end in some sort of fiasco !.

Yes please, nungate. My usual bucket, thanks Igor.

[Igor61]

Your bucket Tony sir, and Madame Daisy, I've brought on for you too, can I get you anything else?

[DaisyNonna]

Yes please Igor, a bucket would refresh me. If it's Eurovision there might be something in it I like. Europe seems to have expanded since In did Geography.
For the Rifle I have
2 safety pins (bit wonky)
I triangular bandage (looks more like a trapezium) 1 pointy bit missing
Assorted plasters with Cinderella decorations
I tubular bandage (lost most of its support mechanism)
1/2 a pair of latex gloves

[nungate]

half a pair of latex gloves Daisy, now would that be the right half or the left?

[tonyav]

Ohhhh a latex glove, dead handy for when I'm mechanicing.

[DaisyNonna]

Depends if you wear it the proper way around or turn it inside out.
Hi Tony, let me think. I may have an idea for you.

[tonyav]

Is the latex glove unisex, Daisy ?.

[nungate]

mechan-icing Tony? Now is that buttercream icing Queenie's favourite? Or the other kind? What is a mechan anyway, I'm intrigued

[tonyav]

Ok Ok, right a mechan is a mechanic before they get ic'ed.

[DaisyNonna]

Well it's not pink Tony.
Yes Igor! A few of these and Eurovision will be seen through a rosy glow.

[nungate]

I get it Tony, the glove will be handy for the C.S.I.'s then....

[tonyav]

Not Pink, Daisy you know what to do, nungate !.

Most certainly will, nungate.

[DaisyNonna]

Really nun. it's how they decorate cakes in Saudi Arabia. Sugar mixed with camel milk. Do keep up.
Lost you there, had to magic back.
