Welcome , one and all to the Mad over Fifties Club where Members are expected, nay encouraged, to be Mad and Over Fifty.
Anyone seeking membership who has not yet attained fifty earth years will be considered eligible by virtue of their wishing to join such a club.
Anyone not mad and seeking membership should reconsider.
The night is still nippy for the time of year, so gather close to the fire and let the festivities commence.
The topic for tonight's Speaker is 'Weather...whither ?' .
He has not yet arrived, but we have received a message from him saying that as soon as he can find his waders, oilskins and umbrella, he will be along directly.
Prizes so far for tonight's raffle include:
A bottle of sun screen (unused)
A sun hat (new)
2 yards of deckchair canvas (pristine)
There was a Zebra called Spot
Who was covered all over in black dots
Nungate had been out with her kitchen wipes
to wash off his lovely African stripes
"Poor me the Zebra, no lines but dots, that's not a lot"
I also have to leave now got to go and collect Daughter No 2, but I will see to all the rest of the plumbing next week. Good night all ( and go easy on those Tailcocks they are extremely powerful ).
Oh Maidup, quite alright, though it can't have been Spot, he's never been here before, might have been Alberto the alpaca, he had a tendency toward grumpiness...........
sandy bottoms - was he the one with condoms over his ears to keep off the gull attacks? or was he the one walking on his hands to stop his feet getting wet in the rain?
