Mad over Fifties CLub

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

Good evening and welcome to all our members, old and old.

Due to a misunderstanding last week, the raffle was not drawn and no raffle prizes were distributed. As all Members will remember, in this event all prizes revert to the Committee to distribute as they choose. The Committee met mid-week and have made their choice. If you have not heard by now, then unfortunately, you have not been chosen to receive one of last week's raffle prizes. No appeals are permissible as can be confirmed by checking Rule 54 , Subsection 28, paragraph (iiii).
As all Members will also be aware, Rule 7 ALWAYS applies.


So far, tonight for the raffle we have:

2 pencils, one red, one blue

2 erasers

six paper clips (hardly rusted at all)

[Mamyalynne]

Good evening Milady and all, I hope all are well - the buffet table is as always well presented, spicy chicken kebabs and lamb samosas, lots of breads and dips too.

Tonight's tailcock is the Bravissimo, a bright and bouncy number.

For the rofl:

4 coat hangers
bag of mixed vegetable peelings
an espadrille (right foot)
vinegar bottle.

[ladyalex]

Oooh! AN Indian theme for the buffet. How spiffing!

All are well here and I hope all are well there too.

A jug of Bravissimo would be, well, bravissimo !

[rosamundjohn]

Please send me the rules as I must have forgotten them and will have missed out on the paper clips.
I am worried about rule 7. Is rule 7 dangerous?
if it is then can it be changed?
What was the misunderstanding? I do hope nobody was ill.

[rosamundjohn]

can we have some sangria at the buffet? Not too much lemonade though....

[ladyalex]

Worry not, Rosamundjohn...and welcome to you .

The paper clips are still available for this week's raffle.

I wouldn't say Rule & is dangerous, exactly. More unmoveable.

[ladyalex]

Meant to say Rule 7...these Bravissimos are rather good.

I'm sure you could have a rummage around for some sangria.
Personally I don't think it goes with samosas, though...but that's just me perhaps.

Good evening one and all; my apologies for absence last week - I was watching those wonderful doggies on Crufts!

For the rofl this week I offer:

a ball of red knitting wool

one size 8 knitting needle

4 scrummy Hot Cross Bunnies

[ladyalex]

Hello Jumbo. Thanks for the prizes.

are you one of those Yarnbombers too ?

[Mamyalynne]

Hello all - come get your Bravissimos, ooh I fancy the red wool!!

[DTCwordfan]

Good evening all.

I was thinking of adding:

1 case of Irish Champagne
1 Hermes handbag
1 single trip to Tipperary
1 bowl of Colcannon
1 shamrock, leaves pulled off
1 1/2 hour meeting with the Irish President
1 Bank of Ireland account
1/2 gallon of Irish Cream and Seaweed Ice cream
1 trip of an Aer Lingus plane, engines removed cos of austerity
1 weekend in the Marfield House Hotel.
1 used Cheltenham ticket.

But if rule 7 is in effect, well, all bets are of.

[Jumbo747]

Sorry m'lady, where should I put my umbrella tonight? It's SO wet outside!

[Lie-in King]

Good evening m'lady, Matron & guests.

For the rofl I can offer

A large zip...
A dead Rotavator
A unique purple Chambers Dictionary

I shall begin hiding coats & serving tailcocks immediately.

[Lie-in King]

Allow me, miss Jumbo - your umbrella is in safe hands...

[alexanderd]

hello all, sorry I am a bit late, had to clean my teeth and I couldnt remember where I had put them

[Jumbo747]

Indeed m'lady - I always like a good yarn.

Bravissimo.....sounds just what I need on a cold, wet night.

But I'm worried about Rule 7; what implications does it have?

St Patricks Day Ditty

Ed was a character
A grand old nungate sot of a soul I’ll say
Whose favorite AB saying was
“Tis a foin day to-day”

Bereft of Sqad health and Lady A’s wealth
Caused him no Lie-In-King dismay
You would hear that old Mamya refrain
“Tis a foin day to-day”

He never met a trollish stranger,
And so many AB people say
The words he spoke he the Uber-Moderator meant
“Tis a foin day to-day”

He had his Polarbear faults and AB failings
But he would kneel and to the Over-Fifties pray
“Oh my Gnomeish God I thank Thee
For this foin day to-day

Oft we meet the Castle challenge
As we go our own williness way
And honestly say to others
Tis a foin day to-day”

We saw Ed on his AB Davenport,
We could see dave’s last sunny ray.
We know we heard him whisper
“Tis a foin, foin gnomish day to-day.”

[alexanderd]

For the riffle I have
2 candy floss sticks
a slipper(left foot) and a ball of string

[Jumbo747]

Oooh please may I request the left-footed slipper from the rafl? It will make a nice pair with my solitary right one............

[Lie-in King]

Tailcocks, tailcocks! Get 'em while they're cheering, they're lovely!

[rosamundjohn]

Good evening all. I want the purple dictionary please but will want to know where the paperclips went before I put my wordsearches into the raffle.
MY BP has gone up since I found your club
I have just returned from holiday in spain-has anyone been? Hence i have an abundance of Sangria mix
