Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

Good evening and welcome, everyone.

As the weather has been a little kinder to us of late, the clocks are due to change tonight and the Dark Blues have won the Boat Race, perhaps there is some truth to the rumour that Spring is on its way.
However, the nights are still a little nippy, so gather round our cosy hearth for another Club Night.

Drinks and nibbles will no doubt appear shortly and we can only hope that our trusty Matron will again excel herself with a new tailcock recipe. (Last week's amazing creation, the 'Lunar surprise@ lingers firmly in the memories and possibly also the livers of the members who attended last week.)

The raffle cupboard seems to be bare, so presumably all items were won last week...is this a record ?

Here are my donations for this week's raffle:

A packet of cheese and onion crisps . (Hardly flattened at all.)
A small tin of Mint Balls. (No, not Uncle Joe's, they're for the raffle)
A Fair Isle pattern mitt. (Right hand .)

Please feel free to add to them.

[ladyalex]

Was the e-mail informing you of your £117million windfall from Nigeria, perchance ?

[petal54]

do I need to assume the position,klieber?

[Mamyalynne]

elsie welcome, long time no see,

Kleiber no , mountains are off the agenda, tis the knees you know, like a bit of mutton though.

[Kleiber]

Hee hee, ladyalex - yes, I'm the only Scot in the Village!! Very embarassing when it comes to the 6 Nations!!

[ladyalex]

petal, if you go to Mamyalynne she will give you some nice pills.

There is no need for you to make any assumptions.

[lcg]

hello, my lady...i'm really sorry - i also had a kebab on the way in. my offerings for the raffle are: one half eaten jelly (strawberry); two sock garters (different colours); and a calculator with no batteries. does anyone else require a tailcock? x

[Kleiber]

No, petal, you're quite safe. Despite being the newest member of this crazy club, I do have some "normal" traits!!

[DTCwordfan]

Kleiber, I do indeed sympathise - a Scot living in a land of woolly prostitutes. I shall expidite a case of our finest Cornish grain distilled liqueur to you, fermented in the presence of the finest wild garlic, which coincidentally is sprouting at the moment in a gargantuan harvest. I have but reaped at least 70 pounds of the said "spinach" this very day and am reeking like the "Twelve Old Men of Tain" at the moment.

Is that the Morangie (pronounced as it should be "Maurangie" rather than this heathen Mer-angie) or is it indeed, also a bottle of the finest Domaine Le Bosquet (£5-99)

[Mamyalynne]

Come now Petal, take these and have a sit down till they work.

[ladyalex]

I feel your pain, Kleiber.

[ladyalex]

Thank you so much for those prizes, elsie..handsome!

[albaqwerty]

good evening m'lady

may I offer a tin of unpickled pickled cabbage for a raffle prize

[ladyalex]

(whispers)<<<Matron , perhaps DT could do with some of your 'special' pills .>>>

[petal54]

many thanks,Mamya,been out in the sun too long,not used to all this day light

[DTCwordfan]

if pickled in the finest Cornish garlic, I would think that is a most generous offering, worthy of myrrh and franckincense but not the gold....

[Mamyalynne]

Ssh Milady will sort that out.

Evening Alba, unpickled eh, makes a change.

[ladyalex]

Good evening alba, how lovely to see you .
Unpickled pickled cabbage....marvellous what can be done these days.....was it hand-unpickled ? or is there an unpickling machine now ?

[Kleiber]

Ah, DT, you sound like a foodie out of my own heart!! My wild garlic is up, too - I had some in a mayonnaise the other evening, with some delicious poached (don't ask!!) salmon - local, of course. As for the wee dram, I prefer the Islay malts, although Glenmorangie (with the emphasis on the "mor") is fine stuff, too. The Welsh do quite a nice brew, but not a patch on the real stuff.

[ladyalex]

your wild garlic is up where, Kleiber ?

[DTCwordfan]

I like a mayo with my "saumon" a hint of chipotle pepper perhaps, from the fair shores of Le Mexique.....as long as the salmon has the vat, referred to earlier, covered on it. It is such an effective way to eliminate a crap blended scotch....though that word whould not apply to a fiery hooch like that from your fair nation. For me a wee tipple of a Lagvulin, a Highland Park, an excellent vintage of Islay, (or many, many others)
