Mad over fifties club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening all and welcome to our club.

I am sure the usual sumptuous array of drinks and nibbles will appear shortly.

Raffle contributions so far

Two under ripe bananas
A jar of Branston Pickle (sell by date June 1998)
A pair of long johns (salmon pink)
4 books of sudoku puzzles only some completed.


We are having trouble attracting speakers at the moment. Apparently the word is out on the 'circuit' that sometimes it can be rather damp here. Cannot think why.

Good evening to you ll. Am just fresh in from my little holiday in the countryside. No, I did not fall in the river, just fresh as in 'rejuvenated' I have had a surfeit of fresh air and (some) exercise, so don't expect help from me with the washing up tonight. My back tells me I have done enough gardening for this summer.
For the ruffle I have
5 free range eggs (free, because I acquired them from the field next to Big Sis, where the chooks range all day)
First Edition of 'Walkies' - pawed copy - by Barbabra Woodhouse
Selection of spirit/liquer bottles ( all empty, of course )
Old penknife, multi-bladed, with a wotsit for hooking boy scouts out of horses' hooves
A large one for me, Mamya, if you please ;o)

[Mamyalynne]

I am lost and is still early, confused . com

[ttfn]

Nothing has changed since my last visit then ...

[ladyalex]

Welcome, Ena, so pleased to see you after your short sojourn .

Mamya is lost
I think we should organise a search for her.

Form into 2 lines , one go upstairs and the other start in the basement.

[anneasquith]

lets phone the fire brigade !!!!!!

[DTCwordfan]

the moistness, maam, well its the moat......I have tried cleaning out his Nibs old underwear, but quite frankly I would have preferred to be Imogen cleaning out her lover's wear - and I suspect that despite their deviancy, his underwear would have been easier to dispose of than His Nibs.

I thought you were running a wee trip to North of Hadrian's this week. More fool me as on offer is

1/2 a bottle of Buckfastleigh hooch, the other 1/2 having disappeared down the throat of Lady Karenmac or one of her friends,

1/2 a piece of chewing gum from your namesake, LadyA, as he is watching the contretemps between the Picasso's and the Lowry's this evening on the screen known as a TV, the programme, BGT meaning Barcelona's Got Talent. (Not at the moment).

1/2 a haggis as donated by an Scottish ABer friend of ours, who has no taste buds whatsoever

1/2 a bottle of the finest Highland Park, (was full until the Ed got hold of it)

1/2 a pair of Princess Zara's panties but then one England Rugby Captain got to the other 1/2 and tore it off me.

1/2 a Scottish Moat cleaner, Steg thought it was a sheep worth saving and we had a wee scrap for it. Sorry.

Cheers (would you like Sir Alex's kecks if I can get Ryan Diggs to nick them tonight, after the fight on ITV?)

[ttfn]

I will search in the basement (that is near the cellar?)
DT - you don't do things by ½'s - oh yes, you do actually, lol

[ladyalex]

Good evening DT. Thank you for the usual vast array of raffle prizes. I'm sure someone will want some of them.

Can you help us search for Mamyalynne, please? She seems to be lost.

[DaisyNonna]

May I join the upstairs line? Being underground does nothing for my blood pressure. Hate travelling through London because of the "you know what" between mainline stations.
Can anybody whistle? Mamya might hear us.

[ladyalex]

If only we had that comb and paper from last week.....

Mamya!

Mamya!

Search ad lib, peeps.

[DTCwordfan]

Who has a halfpenny whistle? - I suspect that she may be deaf on one ear......

[ttfn]

Stand easy, everyone, Mamya is taking in more supplies from tradesmen. I thought I heard the dray horses just then :o)

[Mamyalynne]

Thank heavens you found me, it was the mention of green and yellow that did, rreminded me of the incident of which we dare not speak...

Green Ganders all round

[ladyalex]

Phew!

Thank goodness you are returned to us, Mamya, for we are as nothing without our dear Matron and her tailcocks.
These Green Ganders are rather moreish.

[DaisyNonna]

Perhaps we should have the Fire Brigade in case we need to pump empty the moat.
Or sniffer dogs. I believe some of the handlers are quite sweet.
What about Lt. Wales. with his whirly thing. Believe he is back from that island place.
Mamya! We need you! Are you playing sardines and forgot to tell us?

[DTCwordfan]

I am reminded of that poem by the Chinese poet, Luò bīn Wáng of the 7thC AD
(not that Wu Tang for whom I have no time),

To Ganders
goose, goose, goose,
Sing to sky with necks incurving.
White feathers afloat on verdant waters,
Green palmate feet push the clear water.

If you want the Chinese version of this with the anglicized pronounciation....

É é é
鹅 鹅 鹅，
Qŭ xiàng xiàng tiān gē.
曲 项 向 天 歌。
bái máo fú lǜ shuĭ,
白 毛 浮 绿 水，
Hóng zhăng bō qīng bō.
红 掌 拨 清 波。

[ttfn]

Mamya - an early black coffee for DT, I think ;o)

[DTCwordfan]

A smidge of Kultur with it, I think, Mamya......

[Mamyalynne]

Coming up, are you well DT or have they changed your meds?

[ladyalex]

Gosh! Oriental poetry so early in the evening.

I think I may have to apply cold towels to my throbbing temple if this goes on.
