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.

Methinks you have lived in the land of song too long, Kleiber.
Hagges are eaten in Scotland, not molested.

[ladyalex]

SOOO sorry, wrongly accused Kleiber there...DT was the culprit.....

[DTCwordfan]

"Non mea culpable - petit moi?"

[ladyalex]

You made the infamous and horrid suggestion that scots molested haggis......when everyone knows that scots batter, deep fry and eat anything edible.

[Kleiber]

Think I'll take the dogs round the estate for a bit of haggis lamping (some have found their way down to Wales & are breeding in the mountains here) and then shall retire for the night. Has been a lovely evening at the Club - hope to join you all again soon! Nos da. K x

[ladyalex]

Good night, Kleiber. Hope to see you again soon.

[DTCwordfan]

you do but unfairly accuse me a shag being but an ancient Scots word for an informant.....after that Phalacrocorax aristotelis bird that squawks so profusely.

[Kleiber]

p.s. it's only the Glaswegians that do that!

[Mamyalynne]

Nos da kleiber ♥

[ladyalex]

I think you'll find that the word is 'clype' DT.

A shag is the same all over the UK.

[ladyalex]

ps Kleiber..Fifers do it too...and Dundonians....and even Edinburghers

[Kleiber]

Really, ladyalex?? I'm from Monifieth and we only had battered fish there (well, and the occasional sausage...)

[ladyalex]

A Fieifer !
That's amazing.
We were practically neighbours!
I'm up in Angus. (Originally from Kirkcaldy)

[DTCwordfan]

or a kleipie?

[Kleiber]

I really am going this time, now that I've finished my glass of Pinot - the dogs need to go out & I've got to check the sheep. Night, night all. K x

[DTCwordfan]

I am but a graduate of the ancient pile known as St Andreae!

[ladyalex]

Night night again, Kleiber.

DT...spelling these Scots words is somewhat idiosyncratic. I spell it Clype. You can be a kleipie if you want, but I would never stoop so low.

[DTCwordfan]

Good night in those lonely Welsh valleys - and watch the batchelor farmers out there on a Saturday night!

[ladyalex]

Tartan night tonight!

[DTCwordfan]

nae insult meant, nae insult given. ladyalex.....
