Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter Nungate Towers this evening. We have a varied selection of volly vonts and canapes for your delight, on the "hot" trolley there is steak and mushroom pie, a pie packed so full of deliciousness that the gravy has to be served separately as there was not mushroom left inside for it. For the Vegetarians there is a nut roast and bean burgers. On the pudding cart we have Eve's pudding - she put up a fight but we got her in it just the same, of course served with custard!
In honour of the return of Strictly Come Dancing tonight's tailcock is the Strictly Delicious a potent brew guaranteed to bring Sparkle to our festivities. As always the rofl will be drawn later in the evening, and I have some broken lute strings (donated by one of the minstrels), a tin of armour polish, and Igor has stepped up and donated a used corn plaster (thank you Igor)
The second running of the Great Hall Sack Race will be run around ten and we have rigged up the old gibbet on the south tower for bungee jumping!
Tonight's music will be provided by the Minstrels as usual and they have informed me that as well as the customary madrigals and toccattas they will be playing a selection of ZZ Top's greatest hits and a selection of Salsa and Samba music for those who want to give their maraccas a good old shake
Igor is on hand to conceal coats, cloaks broomsticks (and bodies is required)

[DaisyNonna]

Thankyou for taking care of my friends. May I just watch the sack race? Daughter made redundant this week after 18 years. Slightly sniffly.

[tonyav]

Oh sorry to hear that DaisyNonna, hope she finds another job.

[DTCwordfan]

Now the gin of that wet martini finished, time for the Strictly Delicious.....

[tonyav]

And so it is indeed DT.

[nungate]

Oh, dear that isn't good news Daisy, has she made any plans yet? It's a crying shame that so many people with experience are being let go - quite often they are replaced by people with no real experience but are cheaper to employ.

[tonyav]

That is very true, nungate.

[DaisyNonna]

All down touniversity cuts. Re training as a midwfe?

[nungate]

Retraining as a Midwife, that's a good thing Daisy. I have a couple of friends who went on to train as midwives after their nursing training, though I've lost touch with them now - maybe one day I'll try looking for them

[DTCwordfan]

well good midwives are necessary

as are vets for all the animals, birds, reptiles that float around here. I need to get myself a pet (not just sibbo, as she is more!).

[queenofmean]

that reminds me....can we try find the nurse that saved me as a bambino pleaaaase??

[DTCwordfan]

and, of course, the goats.

[nungate]

Lordy, I'm not sure where to start looking for her, much as I would like to.
Though I think I might know someone who might know of her but as to where she is well that's a long shot sweetie

[queenofmean]

well its worth it!! I just want to say Thank you

[tonyav]

gawd he had to bring the bloody goats up again lol.

[queenofmean]

sounds painful bringing up a goat :s

is there any nibbles left or has everyone eaten it all??

[Psybbo]

I love goats cheesed

[Psybbo]

where there that d come from? must be dtc

[nungate]

loads of nibbles, and pies and bean burgers..................
The Tapster is also doing wonderful things with ale in the Great Hall, and Scoff the Chef (suitably chastened) has whipped up even more deliciousness for this auguste company..........

[DTCwordfan]

moi aussi, ask tony about keeping goaties, QoM.....he knows all about them. A world specialist in "Capra aegagrus hircus" - it wouldn't be a surprise if is middle name is "Wiliiam" (Billy)

[DTCwordfan]
