Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Come on in! Nungate Towers is open for another meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties! With Queenie and Best Beloved away in Cardiff it's been a struggle to get things organised for tonight's meeting.
As we have another lovely summmer evening, we'll be having most of tonight's meeting out of doors, the fountains are throwing up huge jets of water, all over the gardens the fairy lights will be lighting our evening, the maze is open (a guide is available) there are rowing boats down at the lake, and a marquee is set up on the east lawn, where we have a delicious buffet all set up. Tonight the Tailcock will be the Lost Kitty, named in honour of Queenie's little ginger cat Henry who has been wandering around the Towers like, well, a lost cat! His companion Max is in the cattery (don't ask) and he is missing his human Mummie and I just won't do, despite me putting the grand prix on the tv so he could look for her in the crowd .... (after Barca played of course) For those who wish to remain indoors the hot tub is bubbling away and the mini bar stocked, the minstrels will be on hand to play their usual madrigals and toccattas, and of course all the usual amenities are available to be enjoyed by our members. Our favourite local band The Tone Deafs will be playing in the marquee, and we also have as a special treat, a string quartet playing Mozart's greatest hits in the grotto, (follow the path by the lake, and on past the old oak tree carry on and it's on your left just by the path leading to the beach)
Sadly Queenie had some bad news during the grand prix as her favourite rider came off in a nasty collision and had to be taken to hospital with a suspected broken collar bone - I'm sure she'll get over it, as will he!
So come on down everybody and have a lovely evening!
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter here


Carriages at midnight.

Hey excel, good evening, sorry you can't stay though, good luck with what ever it is you have to do.

[DTCwordfan]

You probably still had the socks in there, nungate......

[Igor61]

Ah, good evening Sir Tony, why where else could I be? I couldn't possibly leave Madame while the rest of the family were away. Your usual bucket Sir?

[DaisyNonna]

DT Still none the wiser. Sounded extremely rude to me which is why I asked you to clarify.
Igor, more alcohol please. Is there a corner I can retire to until I feel a little less stressed?

[tonyav]

Ah of course not Igor, yes please my usual bucket.

[nungate]

With my mum, anything was possible! She could bake thoughm it was the rest of her cooking that left a bit to be desired. That was why I learned to cook - survival!

[Igor61]

Of course Madame Daisy. Would you like me to escort you down to the grotto?
I'm sure you would enjoy the Mozart .... he was a nice bloke, that Mozart, I used to call him Mozzy you know

[DTCwordfan]

lost you now, daisy, not sure I ever understood.....which part, as certainly nothing was meant....or intended. Just put the timing if necessary.

[tonyav]

nungate, loved my mom to bits, but gawd she was a lousy cook, when I first started work she asked me what I would like on my sandwiches, I said cheese and onion, big mistake that was I then had cheese and onion sandwiches for the next three months !.

[DaisyNonna]

Please Igor.

[tonyav]

Mmmmmm, think I might go for a row and then have a wonder around the maize. Quiet tonight without queenie.

[tonyav]

Why are you stressed, Daisy ?.

[DTCwordfan]

I am completely lost too, tony. But that's not unusual.....

[tonyav]

DT, I have been in the lost and found dept for a few years now !.

[Mammar]

Evenin' all.
Nungate, I'm so sorry the fountains are feeling unwell. Ginger biscuits settle my upset tums. You think that would help?
Igor, could I have a bucket of Cat please? I fear a Kitten will not be feisty enough to soothe my fevered brow. Oo and a Kit Kat too.

[nungate]

My mum just didn't have the imagination or the patience for cooking I'm afraid, and she worked most of my childhood though. It was always a case of if she made something,and you said it was nice or good no matter what, you got it until you couldn't face it any more! Even now I can't abide Scottish tablet! (a sort of hard fudge) She made it so often ....

[DaisyNonna]

DT's post. For Daisy, some thumb found in a dyke.
Told you to behave.
Go away!

[Igor61]

My arm Madame Daisy .....

Madame Mammar, I shall ask Plant to fetch your drink ... I don't think you'll need a cat, the kitty should be sufficient! I saw what went into it, there's definitely Irn bru in there, and it's made from girders!

[nungate]

Hello Mammar, oh here's Plant with your drink. The fountains are supposed to be like that, like Louis XIV I like "full throated fountains"

[DTCwordfan]

You have really got the wrong end of that, Daisy.....it was just a reference to being in Holland as I was - and if you re read it, it was "Tony behave....." - just a play at him on the possible innuendo, a la Les Dawson, on ITV at the moment, by the way. There was no malfeasance meant at all.
