Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers.
Time for all members of the Mad Over Fifties Club to congregate and make merry!
Our tailcock for tonight is Mojito Madness! For our Hot Plate Special a delicious Steak Pie with lashings of gravy and creamy mash with carrots and peas - mmm.... and on the pudding trolley there is an apple and blackberry crumble and custard (cream is available) of course there are our customary volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers!
Playing in the gallery are the Minstrels with the usual madrigals and fugues.
Down in the ballroom The Tone Deafs with a delightful selection of '60's covers!
There are roaring fires in the library, and also in the snug where any member wishing a bit of quiet can make themselves comfortable and where a nice tray of refreshments awaits. Our huge library is open all members, and as well as the vast array of books we have a nice selection of all magazines and periodicals, I do believe the latest issue of
The Wheeltappers Gazette has just arrived! Up in the North Tower the
hot tub is bubbling away, the mini bar has been well stocked. The bungee is primed and ready for use, the indoor pool is also ready (cossies are ready for those who forgot to bring one)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Yes it certainly has.

[nungate]

It's all very very sad

[tonyav]

Have they worked out what made the helicopter crash yet ?.

[tonyav]

Good night, nungate, thanks for the lovely evening as usual.

[nungate]

Not yet. There was a chap on the news in the early hours who had been an RAF technician who thought it could have been some sort of engine failure, but although it seemed (he said) that the chopper may have fallen like a stone, there might have been some rotation in the rotors which gave the craft some drag which gave the pilot time to switch off some systems(don't remember exactly) but it prevented the chopper exploding and prevented a fire. The pub itself was once a tenement building which owing to a fire years ago the upper floors had been demolished leaving the ground floor only and the roof of which would not have been strong enough to bear the weight of the downed chopper. I can see the logic in this chap's thinking but it will be very interesting to find out exactly what happened so it couldn't happen again somewhere else.

Good night Tony.

[tonyav]

Thanks for the update, nungate.

[nungate]

You're welcome Tony.
