Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open


All Members are welcome once more.

Sadly, our dear matron , Mamyalynne will be absent tonight as she has been taken on holiday to Welshland. I am sure all Members will join with me in hoping that she enjoys her rest cure , oops, short holiday, very much.
Because of Mamya's absence we will be facing a dearth of snacks. We will have to make do with a few crisps and nuts until more Members turn up when the nut quota will doubtless increase.

In honour of Mamya, however, I have concocted tonight's signature tailcock, Matron's Mixture**.

All raffle prizes will be gratefully received, please leave them on the hall table.

May I express my dismay at your indisposition, Miss Ena? I know an old buttling trick that might help, if you'd care to divest yourself of said garments behind the screen...

[ttfn]

Alex my dear, as I feel you are in loco parentis tonight (the others may just be loco, I fear) would you be a darling and raise a loyal toast to Matron?

Maj - how very dare you! Hudson never asked that of a lady in the whole series - and I speak knowledgeably as one who has the video and dvd boxed sets.

[ttfn]

However, I am not one to bear a grudge, keep passing the Thud my dear ;)

[Lie-in King]

!!! I can assure Miss that I had only Miss's comfort in mind

(...boxed set, indeed)

[alexanderd]

Certainly Ena could I ask you all to raise your glasses(put your specs down Ena) to remember absent friends or at least one. A toast to our ever reliable Matron, Mamyalynne.( Thinks she cant be that reliable or she would be here tonight)

[DaisyNonna]

Corsets difficult to breathe when you have too much laced. Perhaps broderie anglaise would suffice.

[ttfn]

To Mamya ♥ hic
Maj - you know 'boxed' - as in ears?
Alex, you may pay for that remark next week, lol. Well said, that gent.

[Lie-in King]

Indeed... Thanks to m'lady's bust in the hallway, I have a drink & am raising it to matron

(hic)

[ladyalex]

To Mamya!

[TonyV]

Thankyou Lie in any salt and vinegar in kitchen? Anyone want a chip

[ladyalex]

Gawd bless her and all who sail ...


Oops, sorry wrong ceremony.

And youleave my bust alone, Maj , or your buttling days will be numbered.

[ladyalex]

The condiments shoud be inthe cupboatd, Tony v.
And I'd love a chip.

[ttfn]

Hello Daisy - I don't think I would gamble the 'matter' to just needlework. One has a lot more than just standards to keep up, wink, wink.

Lady Alex - you might have got your new buttling staff a decent outfit. It appears that one of his tails is missing.

[Lie-in King]

Certainly, master Tony...

...Your condiments, sir - I have taken the liberty of including plenty of sauce

[DaisyNonna]

Chips! Have you got the roulette wheel working? Always enjoyed a gamble, or was it a gambol? (Looks pathetic)

[Lie-in King]

(hmmm...) Another flagon, Miss Ena?

[ttfn]

It will take a long time before I start flaggin', I am of the 'built to last' stock. Just make sure it is XXXXXXXL. Maj - may one ask - are you Nepalese?

[Lie-in King]

One shall allow Miss her fun - no, Miss, I am not Nepalese.

[ttfn]

You are awful, but I like you!

<<best Dame Edith Evans voice coming up>>

I thought I heard someone in the long hall say that the Thud & Blunder was from Katmandu. Obviously they were mistaken.

Alex - all together now - Boom Boom hic.

[ladyalex]

Siamese , perhaps ?

The games room is upatirs, Daisy. But do beware of lordalex and Uncle Joe, They're up there somewhere, whiling the hours away together , bemoaning the absence of Mamya.
