Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening to all or members.

I am delighted to be back after my unexpected but very pleasant stravaig to the East Neuk, a calm yet mysterious place full of artists and small people in wet suits.
I will, however, resist giving a talk on my experiences there.
Any other volunteers for tonight's entertainment should report to a Committee member at their convenience.

Prizes so far for tonight's raffle include :

four socks, two pink two blue

a roll of elastoplast

a tin of chopped tomatoes

and six safety pins


I should also say that, Hurricane Irene permitting, I am off to Massachusetts on Monday to see the son-and-heir (and the Kentucky fiddler). Lordalex and I will not be returning for 3 weeks, so I would be obliged if Mamyalynne or alexanderd or any other club stalwarts would fill the breach. I'll leave the keys in their usual place and look forward to regaling you all with tall tales of the goings on in the Wild West when we return.

But of course - East of Elie - there ought to be a song.

[ladyalex]

Well, it is if you go the long way round.

It's West of Wigan...

[vallaw]

I have always thought that 360 degrees makes for a circular argument . .

[ladyalex]

Very perceptive, vallaw.

Does everyone have their raffle tickets and I'll get on with the draw ?

[DaisyNonna]

I really need those safety pins!

[DTCwordfan]

will be seeing you all, have a safe trip to the land of the stripes and MaccyDs....and slow on the Tanqueray and Tonics.

Remember to tip some tea in the harbour if they try and tax you, or they are taxing.....bring on the Revolution!

Oh well. Must just smile when my trousers fall down. Elasticated stitching malfunction.

[ladyalex]

Thank you , vallaw. You are very kind.

Night all. Send my regards to Broadway milady. Never did trust the wireless telegraph.

Night DT, night Daisy.
Did you win the safety pins ?

Well, the time has come for me to go to bed. Lots of packing to do tomorrow.

See you at the end of September, if we're spared and if we miss Hurricane Irene.
