Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open



Welcome one and all to our Jubilee Weekend Club .

As I am sure you will all have noticed, we have got the bunting out and the hall is totally jubilantly decked. The red white and blue theme has been continued with jubilation throughout the building and even the stables have been repainted puce (which is the colour we got when we mixed the red white and blue paints).
Members who wish to identify themselves as jubilarians may do so by signing the Big Book on the sideboard in the lower lesser grand ballroom.

Tonight's jubilar raffle so far has for prizes:


1 silver jubilee mug (slightly cracked)
1 golden jubilee tea towel (slightly washed out)
14 Union Jack flags (all full size)
6 red buttons
7 white gloves (some pairs)
8 blue berets (the hats, not the men)

Shall we give chase, gness ?

Wild Swans is a good read, Lady J, but to borrow the expression it's a bit like Attenborough's Ghandi and his rather "sanitised" portrayal of India. Life and Death in Shanghai is a true account of a Chinese bourgeoise woman caught up in Mao's Cultural Revolution and is very harrowing......(and true).

[owdhamer]

Pardon me mi lady but do not ask silly questions.

[gness]

I have only a hobby horse with a broken wheel I`m afraid.

[lady-janine]

think it is time for me to wish all you good people goodnight as i need to cross the moat and the croc has been eyeing me all the time i have been here. I hope to join you all again next week.

[gness]

Am now waiting for DT to connect Gness man and chase.:-)

[ladyalex]

Well, as things are becoming far too sane for the Mad over Fifties Club, I am off to bed now.
I hope that by next week insanity will have returned and the club will be as 'normal'.
Night night everyone, see you all next week, if we're spared.
:-))

[ladyalex]

Didn't see Owd's post before I signed off....I like asking silly questions...so there.

Night night:-))

[gness]

Few weeks R&R for me but will creep in again on my return and a feather duster under the settle would be appreciated.
Goodnight Ladyalex.x

DT brings back some memories of one of my aunts who worked (a missionary) china. told some fantastic tales when she came back. This was when she used to travel there by boat.

[DTCwordfan]

Hee - trying to get to bed!

I used to work out there, Lady J, not as a missionary but in rebuilding one of the major western brands (pre the Revolution) in Central China......the country undergoing enormous change there, not all of it for the better.

[DTCwordfan]

Now good night!

[lady-janine]

dt don't think i would even make it to treliske. spent 3 weeks in hospital last time i was given some fruit salad with banana taken out. just one spoonfull. i had explained i was allergic. but enough of this as it is not our thread. pardons pleaded to all other contributors and especially the croc. i will subjugate myself anon.

[gness]

LadyJ. Don`t you think that would be such an exciting thing to do in those days?
The boat journey...going into unknown territory.....people to meet.

[gness]

Ooops. Goodnight.xx

[lady-janine]

oh yest i so agree. it used to take six weeks to get to her mission. called in at all sorts of places. she went cargo ship and before ww2. really such an adventure for a young woman.

[nungate]

Good night to all and to all a good night
