Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open


Hello, good evening and welcome to all our members.

(Hasn't David Frost been putting himself about on TV lately ?)

Do draw up to the fire and get cosy for tonight's club.

After the great success of the talk 'Knitting patterns through the ages', the Committee tried to engage the same speaker to give the companion talk 'Crotchet patterns I have loved ' but sadly, she said that she was tied up. So, unless any members feel they can step into the breach, I am afraid we will have to forgo our talk tonight.

For the raffle so far I have

A bottle of Sanatogen
Six oranges
Two tubes of Polo mints
and three knitting needles sizes 10, 8 and 7.

Good evening, miss flicrat - may I relieve you of your coat in exchange for a flagon of Moondrop? Please be assured that it will be hidden with care.

[DTCwordfan]

Eccles will be in for the seeds to go on her cakes and for the heckles.

[flicrat]

Thank you LIK. Mind that little head peeking out of the pocket!

[ladyalex]

Heckles ?

Are we combing fibres tonight, or horripilating ?

[DTCwordfan]

Red wool, what next.....

[Lie-in King]

Thank you, miss - dare I enquire as to the species? We get some strange ones here, you know...

[Mamyalynne]

Oh red wool, need more - am well into my next project.

[ladyalex]

Pah! We spit in the eye of red sheep here

[ladyalex]

Now, we'll all promise not to tell, Mamya, so you can tell us.

Are you a Yarnbomber ?

[DTCwordfan]

that was the village ijiut who bought the tartan paint from the back of the village shop, £2 a litre.....

[Lie-in King]

Indeed sir & for authenticity, no undercoat...

[ladyalex]

I didn't think you could get tartan paint any more, DT...

I could do with some for the outside of the shed...fed up with green...

[nungate]

Tartan paint? Evening all, I trust everyone is well. Thee was a famr near me which had Tartan sheep (I kid you not) and there were once red sheep in a field off the M8! I've parked the llama in the stables Milady, I trust this is fine with you?

[flicrat]

Just offer it your finger LIK and see what happens. If it doesn't remove it, it's probably a guineapig as they seemto know the difference between fingers and carrots. No rodent does!:-)

[ladyalex]

I can confirm the sightings of the tartan sheep.
I think they caused a few accidents...certainly made lordalex sit up.

[Lie-in King]

Good evening, miss nungate - your usual bucket of tailcock...

[DTCwordfan]

the croc is a dab hand with a paint brush - likes to give things a Mulberry look......

[Mamyalynne]

Good grief, someone locked me in the scullery - that was a scary few minutes.

[Lie-in King]

Indeed he is sir, however, I believe that at the moment he is teaching his cat the intricacies of Monopoly...

[nungate]

If you please, your Maj, my usual pail will be most acceptable.
