Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

On this cold January evening, Nungate Towers has again thrown open its doors to all Mad Over Fifties, and a warm welcome awaits within.
Tonight's hot plate special a warming beef casserole with dumplings, and on the pudding trolley apple crumble and custard, and of course the customary volly vonts and horses doovers are also be available.
In addition to their usual madrigals and fugues the Minstrels will be giving their take on Banarama's greatest hits! As we are still waiting for ice to form on the lake tonight's scheduled ice gala has been postponed and instead we have installed a small fun fair in the ballroom, with stalls and a carousel (wasn't easy getting that through the doors!)
Tonight's tailcock, "the Cats Pyjamas" is guaranteed to knock your socks off!
The Tapster has been working on it all week, and he has again set up a bar in the Great Hall.
I have no offerings for tonight's rofl as I have been dashing back and forth to hospital all week so I trust you will forgive me.
Welcome to all who dare enter these portals this evening


carriages at midnight

Good evening maam and everyone who enters nungate towers. Hope your alright nungate dashing to the hospital all week ?.
For the rofl one Aston Villa season ticket North stand ( torn in to pieces when son arrived back home after the match !), one watch battery flat and one radiator grill for a 1967 Sunbeam Alpine.

[nungate]

Hello Tony, and welcome. It wasn't me who was taken to hospital, it was my mum, last Sunday, though I did get a ride in the ambulance - lights and sirens as well, she's still there I'm afraid and we've all been in a tizz going to and from the hospital, I wasn't able to go with Queenie when she had her laser treatment on Monday as mum's hospital wanted me with her.

Good evening all. I hope I can be excused from the limbo dancing contest for medical reasons,
For the rofl I would like to offer:
Teach Yourself the Accordian (chapters 1-3 missing)
A large box of flat AA batteries
A photocopy of a Jamie Oliver cookbook with the last 2" of the side of each page missing (would suit a very inventive cook)
Half of a 1955 Isle of Man TT races sticker

[nungate]

Good evening Mrs. O. lovely to see you here, I do hope you are well. Limbo dancing is not scheduled for tonight's festivities (we are saving that until you are well enough to take part)

[tonyav]

Hope your mom improves nungate, gawd I want to win that TT sticker.
A bucket of the cats pyjamas would go down well.

[nungate]

Certainly, Tony, I shall have Igor fetch up the buckets from the silver vault right now...........

[mrs_overall]

Thank you for that.
Please please tell me that MickTalbot is not in charge of the coconut shie after last year's scandal where he superglued the coconuts down.
Is Madame Craft reading fortunes at this fair?

[Psybbo]

Good evening your ladyship and all, for the rofl I bring a L A Raiders jacket, must be an antique, a variety of pens, ink frozen and 3/4 Christmas Cake.

[mrs_overall]

tony, are you serious? I had 15 in mint condition I sold last year

[DaisyNonna]

Evening friends. A carousel! What a fabulous idea. Need to have a carouse. The Cats Pyjamas sounds interesting. No Malkin you cannot remove them Sometimes I worry about that cat.
For the ruffly thing I have an empty Pringles tube (sour cream), A bottle of flat fizzy water, a Whodunnit paperback with the last chapter missing.

[tonyav]

I wouldn't mind one mrs o.

[nungate]

You know Mrs O I have absolutely no idea who is doing what at the fair. It was a last minute "thing" as we had hoped the lake would have frozen over with all this Baltic weather we have been promised. Things around the Towers have slipped a bit this week as I have been dashing hither and thither trying to be "there" for my mum and also "my lot" and standards have slipped at the Towers, however I shall get on the case and roust the staff out of their torpor...........

[nungate]

Goodness me, I turn away for a few moments and guests have be pouring through the doors! Hello Sibton and Daisy I hope you are both well...
Igor! IGOR......drinks for our guests.............

[mrs_overall]

tony I have a scrap of one left but somewhere I have a box of TT stuff dating back to the 1930's in the loft.
It will be a while before I can begin to look but I'll let you know what turns up.
Sorry for digressing, but business is business

[nungate]

Can I ask one question?

I know I've had one of "those" weeks, but what in the name of the wee man is all that "related questions" nonsense? It's enough to give me a right scunner!

[DaisyNonna]

So glad to see you here Mrs. O. Please be careful not to drop your stitches.
Tony, you know what you can do with your ticket. Think I might have to take up tatting, a more seemly occupation for slightly older lady than supporting a football team who seem to need a kick up their own nether regions. gulp, sob

[tonyav]

They appeared the other day ( Thursday I think ) nungate, the Ed's idea.
They sound interesting mrs o.

[tonyav]

Know how you feel Daisy. sob sob wail.

[DTCwordfan]

Good evening to all and the sundry

what brings the riffle:

for your library?

one book of Shelley or is that one bottle of sherry?
one book of Byron or is that a biro?
one book of Yeats or is that marmite?
one book of Poe or is that JaneDoe?
one book of Frost or is that on Nungate Towers front lawn?
one book of Blake or is that a broken rake?
one book of Sitwell - I hope the Towers loos are strong enough.
one book of Pope - I hear Venator is coming tonight?
one book of Larkin around
one book of Austen - or how to repair it, for Tony?
one book of Browning - now would you trust mooney with a machine-gun?
one book of Chaucer - sorry no cup
one book of Dryden - I'm afraid sibs and I need non-alchie tailcocks
one book of Guest - or is that Gness's finest musings
one book of Whitby - a landslide of a book.

Happy Reading to y'all.

[nungate]

Oh dear. I was just about to ask how Villa did today - best not under the circumstances.......doesn't sound too good. Sorry Daisy, sorry Tony
