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.

[Mammar]

Let's see, in the Asda bag I have, for the roffle
A pair of bed socks with ventilation in the toe area of one of them
A cardigan that would have been very fashionable in the sixties
A selection of curtain rings that don't fit a single rail in the house
3 screws of varying sizes
Several tape cassette cases, just right size to put teeny tiny sandwiches in

[humbersloop]

Evening All, a flyer here

for the riffle

5kg bag easi-fill compound, is it bu66ery
various filling knives and spatulas, used, will wash up nicely
some sanding pads, used, knack all use for anything when unused

A bucket of whatever's handy and I'm off to the hot tub, dragging a toccata if I may?

[nungate]

Be our guest Sloopy .... feel free to have a toccatta or two if you so wish ..

[tonyav]

Evening Mammar giz some choc and hippy chick.

[Mammar]

Mm Igor, you are correct as usual. That was one strong Kitty.
And on the subject of mother's cooking, may I say the angels in heaven now feast on my old Mum's apple pies which were sublime. I have never tasted a good one since

[Mammar]

Tone! Share chocolate? !

[Mammar]

Let me think about that for a moment

[DaisyNonna]

So why would I want a thumb in or out of a dyke? Am not a little Dutch boy.
Need a canopy.

[lady-janine]

Thank you DTC - a paintbrush. May i be so bold as to ask what kind it is and does it any hairs


Hello Nungate and fellow MOFC members.

for the rfflo tonight i bring

an almost empty spray bottle that used to contain oven cleaner
three dead light bulbs - not useless. potters now how to use them.
a fly switch to use on trolls
two batteries that need charging
unfinished crossword puzzle
a cd of christmas carols
a christmas wreath decorated in regal puple.

and a plate of homemade (by me) of vegetable curry just for DTC.

[Mammar]

Could I persuade you to have a jar of my famed pickled onion vinegar instead?

[nungate]

I've tried to recreate my grandmother's soda bread, I've come close but not quite, I never did get the recipe from her, though I watched her bake it often enough ... haven't you tried to recreate your mum's apple pies Mammar?

[DTCwordfan]

Forget it Daisy, I'm not on here for such c..p and when people don't even read things properly.......and also it's not worth getting in a stew about.

If you hadn't realised that people take the piss out of the Dutch about this thumb saving Holland all the time, including the Dutch themselves, well there's not much I can say or do.

Talking of that stew is there some goulash around?

[tonyav]

Errrrrrrm ok then Mammar, I could do with some more.

[Mammar]

Many many times, Nungate, as have my sisters, but none of us can get it anything like as meltingly good as hers. And considering the custard that went with it was out a tin of Birds, we can't even get that to taste right either.

[humbersloop]

s'cuse speelin' mistook

and thank you for the hospitality

[DTCwordfan]

a Van Gogh hog's ear brush made out of the finest Dutch sable - it soaks up water superbly well.

[Mammar]

I have an idea she had some little "additions" that she didn't tell us about. But how she got those apples at just the right consistency I shall never know.

[nungate]

Evening Lady J, how are you this fine evening? I do hope it isn't a cryptic crossword, I'm not very good at those, I prefer the ones that test my general knowledge. Drink?

[tonyav]

Hi ya lj.
See ya, hippy chick.

[DTCwordfan]

Many thanks for the veg curry......needing the aga man in here as it's reeking a bit of diesel and sooty, making me wonder if there is a bit of a soot blockage or carbon build-up....going to knock it off tomorrow and hopefully he can come on Monday (phone message in already)......
