Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Once again it gives me great pleasure to throw open the doors of Nungate Towers to welcome all of Ab's Mad Over Fifties (we can be flexible about the age thing.....if you are of a similar mind set as the rest of us) We have an interesting and varied programme of entertainments for your pleasure this cold wet evening. Tonight's tailcock is the "Shocking Shamrock" a pleasing (if not potent) concoction of creme de menthe and other "secret" ingredients......We are not serving a hot plate special this evening, instead we are having a Breakfast Buffet, a hot and tasty selection of sausages, eggs, bacon, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, hash browns, square sausage (a house speciality) tattie scones, dumpling and other delcious breakfast goodies, all served up with lashings of toast, fried bread, coffee and tea. Of course there will also be the usual volly vonts and canopies. On the pudding trolley we have my very own recipe Hot Cherry Pie with ice cream.
The hot tub is bubbly away nicely in the North Tower, the mini bar has been filled, the elastics on the bungee has at last been replaced but, sadly, the moat has been stolen. Ossifers from our local constabulary will be around later to take statements as the crime was committed after last week's meeting, and they are hoping to turn up a lead.
The Minstrels are in the gallery tuning up, in addition to their usual selection of madrigals and fugues they have also promised us their version of the greatest hits of Dean Martin - we can all "Sway" later! There is a roaring fire in the snug for those who prefer a quiet evening, the bowling alley in the dungeons is ready for play, we will have dancing in the Great Hall and Queenofmean has decided that there will be a tea bag lifting competition, which she will be organising.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

yeah tony....ME not at the moment he's looking into a few things though I'll see what he says later if he can drag himself out the mess and away from his laptop lol

[nungate]

Sorry, Triggs no bowl. Bucket of Shocking Shamrock instead?

[tonyav]

Yes Daisy I think at the moment the Villa should be concentrating on not conceding goals.
Strange that PB I used to know a girl called Flo but she scarpered.

[queenofmean]

this song, apologies if it isn't to everybody's taste but they must have had Minty in mind when they wrote a line in this song.
I expect to see her busting some moves in that sparkly on the dancefloor

[tonyav]

I fancy this a bit more nungate.

[polar-bear]

Do we have any Meatloaf songs

[nungate]

Ah, Tony, takes me back to my brother's "plooky" youth - this music emanated from his bedroom a lot - he could do all the moves as well - tried it again at a wedding a few years back - not recommmended while wearing a kilt!

[tonyav]

I can find you one if you like PB, which one would you like ?.

[DaisyNonna]

PB, which team do you support or is it just footy in general? I like most sport, comes of being an only child of a father who wanted a son. Darts however bores me rigid, as does snooker. Although did have a mad aunt who loved to watch snooker on a black and white TV.

[nungate]

Not sure about Meatloaf songs but queenie and me both cook really nice meatloaf! Sometimes we use my aunt's recipe (came from the States) or one from the lovely Mary Berry (favourite) or the delectable Nigella's meatlof which comes all wrapped up in bacon. Might put it on the menu next week....

[tonyav]

LOL I'd have loved to have seen that nungate, hope he didn't injure his self. Was he wearing his kilt in the true Scottish fashion ?.

[murraymints]

Someone's took the band away !! Where they gone ? Some funny monkey music on ....Igor Igor over here !!!! Think I'll have a wee...slurp...shot at that bowlin in the dungeons...Igor !! ...slurp...

Don't know about PB's team Daisy, but I'm sure everyone is aware that Queenis and I both follow the fortunes of FC Barcelona (great game on Tuesday too!!) but since we like to support our MOFC friends, we do admit to a soft spot for the Villa (more so since the play in the same colours as our beloved Barca....
