Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open

Good evening all on another rather chilly night.

Do come in and make yourselves comfortable here in front of the fire in the Great Hall whilst we await the usual sumptuous array of drinks and nibbles.

Sadly, lordalex cannot be with us this evening as he is tied up.
I did warn him about trying macrame again, but he's a game old bird and insisted on giving it another go.
Uncle Joe is assisting with the big scissors but it looks as though they will be at it for some hours yet.

For tonight's raffle, so far I have

A small ball of macrame twine
A bag of barley sugars
A set of binoculars...one lens gone wonky.

[ladyalex]

Very good, tenrec.

o k m'lady,will you hold my teeth in case i swallie them,tweeter tweet tweet tweetroooooo,etc

[ladyalex]

I meant very good joke, not very good that your teeth were rotten.....that would have been cruel and unkind....it might have caused you to gnash your gums...unless teeth were provided for those without teeth...

[BigMac]

"Tweet, tweet, chirrup, chirrup, squawk" - best I can do, I'm afraid.

Am into a severalth Guinness, so will pass on the Damson, thanks very much, and - in the absence of nearest and dearest - am going to have an early night.

Won't see any of you next week - this is my worst work week of the year - so hope the butler gets back on track and the other staff resurface> Don't you just hate it when the staff let you down?

Last tailcock for me tonight - small Jameson and a hot water bottle.

xxxx

[ladyalex]

Kate, that is ...well words fail me...

[ladyalex]

Hello and good bye, BigMac...
Sorry to hear you are so busy. Is there anything we can do to help ?
There's quite a lot of talent here, even without the butler and Matron.
Please take a flagon of Absinthe Friends* away with you ..

[slinky.kate]

glad you enjoyed it ,can i have my teeth back?i will give you another tune later,eh' what is on the food table,i was planning on having my dinner here

[BigMac]

M'Lady, before I get my coat, Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.
I'll get my coat.

[tenrec]

Ladyalex, I knew you wouldn't be unkind. I mean, every week you throw open your home to the likes of us savages; you offer us food and drink and such good banter. We are all grateful.

Evening milady. For the ruffle I have one plastic clothesline, still in its wrapper, a hallf-made pink bobble (extra wool included ) andas you seem to have a slight tailcock problem I have a nearly full bottle of Pimms No. 3 Winter. Just needs ginger ale or lemonade. Any going spare?

[ladyalex]

I'm afraid it's just bread and cheese tonight, Kate...no staff you see. Unless you would like to have a rummage in the kitchen ?

[DTCwordfan]

good evening all.

for the riffle:

One bent Chris Hoy bicycle wheel

One red light for Chris Boardman's bike.

One Victoria Singleton

One spoke

One rubber...............brake

Two packets of steroids, very good for receding gums

One dead BBC microphone, could have other uses?

One Chris Hoy thigh cover, could make an excellent corset for those ripples.

One Jess Varnish saddle, a polished collectors piece for any Nerd (Oxon definition) fetishist.

No verse, yet....

[tenrec]

Oh I so love Pimms ....

[DTCwordfan]

where is the Bittler tonight and La Matron...?

[ladyalex]

I'm sure you will have no difficulty finding your coat tonight BigMac...no butler hiding them.

Daisy, thank you so much for all of your offerings. Any chance of you helping out Kate in the kitchen ? She looks faint with hunger, poor dear.
Thank you for your kind words, tenrec.

[ladyalex]

Hello DT. The butler has made his excuses and left and Matron has simply not showed up.....make what you will of that ...I know I have.

[DaisyNonna]

Milady, perhaps we should put all the coats in a safer place than a pile in front of the fire. It seems quite sparky.

[tenrec]

DT is that your sheepskin or mine?

[ladyalex]

Good idea, Daisy. We don't want to have to call out the Firies, do we ?

DT, can I prevail upon you to hide coats tonight ? I hope it will not interfere too much with your bardic duties.
