Mad Over Fifties Club
299 Answers
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
carriages at midnight

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.no, she was pretty much answering back from the get go! First sounds she ever made were i-yah i-yah i-yah - when things were ok and eeooo eeooo eeooo when she didn't like something - I thought babies didn't do much except have one end filled and the other emptied!
The happy days were ones when we'd be off on holiday away from all family dramas and such and it was just the three of us - no mobiles or such for us back then, things seemed simpler

OK. I was 18, finishing first year at University. Invited to stay with cousin and her husband. Had a visa to work temporarily and planned to spend the summer there. Promised a job looking after two young children, just what I wanted. Started job, great. Cousin (real joker) had arranged a raffle in her office as to which male colleague would take me out. One week in date took place. Lovely bloke (stop sniggering Tony) who had a cottage on Lake Erie and wanted to take me water ski-ing. Went to dinner, had a good time. Next day I collapsed with appendicitis. Shock , horror. Luckily I was well insured. Appendix burst. In hospital for 10 days. End of job. A roomful of flowers. Obviously no water ski-ing. Did however get taken to the cottage (Don't even think it Tony) Stitches precluded most activities. Was taken by him all over Toronto, over the border into the States. Had a wonderful summer, if not what I had planned. Taken to Niagara Falls where I met his family, his dad captained The Maid of the Mist. Thank goodness for insurance. A magical summer.
Sounds magical Daisy,
Anne no need to hitch, you can pick up a carriage at the main entrance to the Towers they'll take you wherever you want
Sir Alec, I hope you feel better soon and the pain recedes a little, and you manage to sleep well.
Until next time ladies
Tony, check out Mama's thread I left something for you :-0
