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.

[DTCwordfan]

I'm but a sassenach and it has been 30 years since I lived in Fife, so am not doing that bad......thanks to taped copies of Monty Python-esque local dialects titled, "Learn Fife" (author one wee Kenny Brown of Kirkcaldy) with such gems as, "Hae ye a frit jiss?"

[sackville]

Have I missed the dancing? Must have nodded off!

[Mamyalynne]

Sackville we have agrammyfone thing, let us see what the tune is , we can dance on the terrace under the moonlight hic!!

[anneasquith]

[ladyalex]

The raffle has not yet been drawn.

I'm afraid wee Kenny Broon of Kirkcaldy has got me beat with that one, DT.

[DaisyNonna]

Evening milady. Have I missed the ruffle? Have brought along two doilies and an antimacassar. Hand embroidered.

[ladyalex]

Good evening , Daisy.
Lovely to see you ( and you too aneesquiffy , of course.)

welcome back, sackville. Let's get the music started.

[DTCwordfan]

As we serfs have to rise early tomorrow dawn, and given that it is the day of sacrifice of the God, Ra, in that we lose an hour of our humble lives, I shall retire to the hessian sack that sitteth on the old oak beams up the ladder.

Enjoyeth your comets and remember the Old Bard (Julius C)

"When beggars die there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes."

Goodnight

[Mamyalynne]

Hello Anne and Daisy, do have a Census Comet## they are very very good, in fact they are getting better by the glassful

[sackville]

I think the record I brought in earlier was by some chappie called I;ve a Novello (don't have any idea what a Novello is I'm afraid)

[anneasquith]

i have a dozen " used "terry towelling nappies. 2 baby binders " used" 4 teats ( big holes ) one half tin of national dried milk ( blue )

[ladyalex]

Good night, DT, see you again I hope.

Gosh you're waxing lyrical.....

[ladyalex]

Is a Novello not a tiny book ?

[DaisyNonna]

Census comet? Sounds intriguing. Yes please!

[Mamyalynne]

Coming up Daisy, ooh teats now they are handy for icing buns.

[sackville]

Why didn't he just call himself I've a tiny book then? People do make things so complimicated.

[ladyalex]
