Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

The Club is now open, welcome one and all! For tonight's festivities we have a celebration of 50 years of James Bond with the 007 Tailcock - certain to leave you both shaken and stirred. The Tapster also has a selection of brews from the Towers Stillroom for your delight and delectation. Scoff has again surpassed himself giving us the "Casino Royale Casserole" made with real casino chips as our "Hot Dish" this evening, as usual there is a selection of volly vonts and canapes and vegetarian dishes. On the pudding trolley is Moonraker Mousse with Goldfingers. The Minstrels will be playing their customary Madrigals and Fugues, and later they will be giving us a rousing rendition of all the Bond Themes - a real treat!
Sadly owing to overstretched elastic the bungee won't be operational this evening - we're still waiting for Greengrass (the gardener) to string the elastic bands together to make a cord long enough to bungee from the South Tower, however, we have installed a trampoline in the vestibule for any guests wishing to "bounce" (just be careful of the chandeliers). For your further delight Peppino and his performing Poodles will be giving us a performance in the Music Room.
Any guest wishing to take part in tonight's Sack Race is requested to put their name on the entry forms in the vestibule
My offering for the rofl tonight is 1 Overstretched bungee cord and half a dozen gold hands (fingerless)
A warm welcome is extended to all who dare enter the Towers this evening.

Malkin and Eric are both happily in the kitchen. Both bask in warmth. Thankyou for asking. Not sure a helmet would fit over my hat. Lovely drink!

[nungate]

My hair is just like hers these days (sadly!) I also think she is wonderful.
There is a piece in this weeks Lady magazine by Roger Moore about the Bond women, and apparently there are rumours that Skyfall might be her last playing M (say it isn't so!!)

[excelsior-1]

i can confirm that it is not so.

[tonyav]

Hi excel, how do you know that about Dame Judy ?.

[Psybbo]

She owned a horse called Smokey Oakey

[tonyav]

Did it ever win anything, sibo ?.

[nungate]

I'm glad to hear she'll still be M, she has a nice ruthlessness about her in that role

[excelsior-1]
