Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Yet again I'd like to extend a warm welcome to all the happy mad over 50's
who dare to enter our hallowed halls this evening. In keeping with the time of year, tonight's festivities has a Hallow'een theme (fancy dress is recommended but optional) The Tapster has excelled himself this week brewing up a heady mix guaranteed (he says) to "pop" the pennies off the eyes of the dead! He calls it the "Deathly Cauldron"
On the hot plate tonight we have a delicious Hallow'een Hash, with a selection of Horses doovers and canopies for your further delectation. On the pudding trolley are treacle scones and toffee apples (the toffee apple harvest has been extremely good this year)
The entertainment for this evening will of course be the Towers Minstrels with their usual selection of madrigals and fugues but tonight for one night only, they will be joined by the Crypt Kickers, direct from their sell out tour of Transylvania. In honour of the occasion Igor has taken his chains out of mothballs and will wear them tonight (please forgive him if service is a bit slower tonight) the castle ghost Sir Cumference will also be around to haunt the proceedings and Horace has also promised to leave his comfy dungeon to join in the fun!
There will also be "dookin'" for apples in the swimming pool in the West Tower - full immersion will be required (cossies are provided)
For the rofl I have 1 Hallow'een Mask (used)
1 Witches Cauldron (in need of a good scour)
Come one, come all, and join in the fun....................

LOL, very good.DT.

[DTCwordfan]

well that was a show stopper!

[nungate]

You've noticed how the Towers look so beautiful bathed in the moonlight then DT?

[tonyav]

Hey remember that no matter what the show must go on, DT.

[DTCwordfan]

Oh I thought that was the North Berwick light.....................

[nungate]

Can get pretty dim down there at times......................and so cold! My mum swears that when God created the world he forgot to finish NB off!

[DTCwordfan]

Did a good job of the golf course though..............

[tonyav]

Gawd all this talk of cold, could we have the great fire lit please, maam.

[nungate]

Now which one would that be? There are so many golf courses around here I wouldn't be at all surprised if the whole county was turned into a golfers theme park! (best beloved would be pleased I think!) I'm with Bill Shankly - a waste of a good walk (I think it was him who said that about golf)

[nungate]

I thought all the fires were lit - I'll have Plant help Igor, those chains are nothing but a hinderance Tony........ or I could invite the Dragon up to warm everyone through?

[DaisyNonna]

Sorry to be so late. Was watching strictly so forgot to put my dinner in the oven. Then found athread by Talieisin I HAD to re[ply to.
For the rueful I have:

My 3rd best broom
Wolfsbane cutting
Pumpkin seed
Recipe for pecan pie
Paperback of M.R.James short stories
A reproduction of a Lewis gun

[DTCwordfan]

the one that finishes near the harbour..........1st hole (other way) dog-legs up the hill.....

[DTCwordfan]

Are witches allowed in, nungate?

Welcome DaisyN, glad you have had your nut and chickpea dinner!

(I love pecan pie - however, pumpkin, forget it).

[tonyav]

mmmmmm, a Lewis gun.

[DaisyNonna]

Scuse me, DT. Biriani with Madras sauce. Chicken, pork, beef and prawn. Why would you think otherwise? Answer required or I start referencing my spells.

[DTCwordfan]

table tennis balls in the Lewis gun perhaps?

[nungate]

Hello Daisy, and welcome, There's a small gathering of brooms in the understairs cupboard if Eric would like to attend, the Towers cats are all in the snug if Malkin would like to join them.

We don't discriminate here DT witches are allowed, providing they are over 50!
I know the course you mean, Best Beloved thinks that's the Glen. Like I said so many, and don't start me on all the courses down in Gullane the only one whose location I am certain about is Muirfield, as to which is which among the others I'm clueless - he has tried to point them out to me but.....
I fear I am a lost cause

[tonyav]

Iwas thinking of marshmallows maybe DT.

[DTCwordfan]

thanks for telling us, did you bring it with you to nungate towers - Daisy, Horse doovers are an acquired taste? the puds though are good. (also, note, I didn't say what else you had with the nuts and chickpeas...).

[DTCwordfan]

Marshmallows - next thing some smores, perhaps.
