[Mamyalynne]

Good evening everyone, Her Ladyship is somewhat delayed, so welcome to all.

Please leave all wellies, snowsuits, skis etc in the vestibule, hopefully someone will be along to hide them very soon.
All fires are stoked and roaring away, we have warming chilli beef broth with crusty rolls and Jacket potatoes with a wide variety of toppings, should warm us through.

This week's guest tailcock is the old familiar but very lovely Snowflake#

For the Rofl:

3 Icicles (there were more?)
Half packet of green lentils
2 pot thimbles
Jar of Bloater paste (BBE 1987)

So settle in and get warm.

Well I was going to see if I could get in tonight, but I reached the door, coughed,and wet my long johns. (Its the cold caused that) Am hovering by the door, do I battle my way home and change, or would it be permisable to dry them out by the fire please. (I do carry Febreze with me ) For the rofl I have a packet of stuffing and a cup a soup stuffed in the rather damp long johns.

[DaisyNonna]

Broth. Just what I need. May I have a potato and crusty bread? Carbohydrates help to keep out the cold.

[DaisyNonna]

A sheet bend. Is that like a wrinkle?

[Mamyalynne]

Dt as usual spectacular.

Daisy oh yes do take your pick of topping too.

Beattie, well it happens to the best of us, use the guest cloakroom and I will lend you a pair of overalls.

[Lie-in King]

Good evening sir & miss - under orders from Matron I am to provide guests with steaming broth as well as flagons of tailcocks...

Miss beattie - the screen over in the corner should provide adequate cover for the removal of any - ahem - garments from... beneath other garments... - ahem - if you would kindly place them in one of the bags provided, I'm sure we can prevail upon Matron's laundry skills :-)

[Mamyalynne]

Prevailed upon am I - as if my wash day hands are not sore enough, very well I shall light the fire beneath the copper and retrieve my posser.

[Lie-in King]

Potatoes & crusty bread, potatoes & crusty bread! Get 'em while they're - well, hot & crusty, frankly - they're lovely!

Ode to a Castle

Lady A has a beautiful castle,
With moats, towers and battlements fair;
And many an AB banner, with joyous device,
Floats aloft in the winter air.

The walls are of Petal chocolate;
The towers are of massive gold;
And the lights that stream from the windows
A Noble scene unfold.

Ah! Mad visitors enter her castle
With its pomp of Daisy sheen,
You would say that it Nonna surpasses
The palace that holds the Party so ready and keen.

Could you but enter as we do,
And pace through the vaulted hall,
And mark the hidden closets with our coats Giveup and Mrs Overall behind the choccy wall;

With the costly riffle prizes about them,
That send their offerings afar,
With a chaste and softened Mamya
Her icy tailcocks stirring on the distant bar.

And where is this wonderful AB castle,
With its rich Alex emblazonings,
Whose Slinky pomp so far surpasses
The homes of the greatest noble kings?

Come out with me a winter morning
And lie by the iced moat grass,
And lower your eyes to the inky blue,
And you will see it pass.

There! can you not see any grasscarp fish;
But the croc so stately and high,
Who thinks his teeth are tipped with llama skin,
And from his keeper, a snore and a drunken sigh.

Dear Mad 50s friend, you are only dreaming,
The castle so stately and fair
Is only a comfortable structure,
PolarBear asleep in the chair.

Perchance Guests are plentiful. We know not
If a Sibton, Nungate or Maggiebee;
But yet, in our inmost sir-prized hearts, we feel
The gossip chatters and the food is free.

For when thirst and hunger are round us,
And our hearts are heavy with care,
we steal away from the Jogger crowd,
To Nibble a buffet morsel, so sating a fare.

There are Butlers to do our bidding;
There is a Lie-in-King to heed our call;
And Milud and Milady, with an air of pdust pride,
May pace through the vaulted hall.

And We fear not the Editorial Moderators
With horrid Trolls under their sway;
For we are not, in our own AB right,
Harsh critics as proud as they?

What matter, then, if to others
Lady A’s castle a vision may beattie,
Since we feel, in the depths of our own heart,
Saturday night, tailcocks, and the occasional banshee?

A glorious castle in Ann AB Land
Frivolity, humour, bliss and gaiety
The weekend evening draws into an AYG night
Our lives short-while, no pain or Anxiety.

[Lie-in King]

Quite splendid, sir! May I enquire as to whether or not you will be partaking of a tailcock or six this evening?

[beattie819]

Thank you, so kind of you. Do you have xxl mamyalynne. Lie-in-King my long johns arent beneath any other garments, but I will do as you suggest and remove them if you dont mind. I have had my pneumonia jab. I would very much like some hot broth, does it have ginger in it?

[DTCwordfan]

I am back on the tailcocks this said evening and would propose the half flagon, oh my pride one. thank you for your kind words as to the dubious verse.

[DaisyNonna]

Mamya, what has the local policeman done to deserve that? I thought he looked rather sweet and young.

[nungate]

Brrrrrrr! It's a bit nippy noodles out there tonight. A pailful of your warming broth if I may Mama, just to thaw the old joints you know, I may partake of your excellent (if somewhat chilly looking tailcocks later). I just parked my skiddoo out in the courtyard - too chilly to bring the llama tonight, so I hope no one falls over it in the dark, I shall venture out soon and place a warning light by it.............am I correct in thinking I spotted the croc and his cat practising a triple salchow on my way in?

[Mamyalynne]

Dt most splendid and is in the anthology.

Daisy I said , Posser!

Beattie xxl coming up.

[humbersloop]

A flagon would be lovely then LiK.

The otter is firmly velcro-d down in my oily storm pocket tonight and will not be playing Texas Hold 'em with anything other than house cards in future.

[Lie-in King]

Very good, sir! I note that you have your own flagon, engraved "Best Bard In The World!"

Good evening, miss nungate - your pail of broth, miss. Indeed, the croc & his cat seem to have taken to the ice rather well...

[nungate]

Yes it was an impressive show - how long have they been skating?

[beattie819]

Its snowing very hard now. We might all get snowed in together. Do we have enough blankets? You can use my damp long johns to keep warm if needed.

[Lie-in King]

Some 3 hours or so, miss...
