Another Saturday night and Nungate Towers has opened its doors to welcome all Mad over Fifties.
What delights have we in store this evening? Well tonight's Tailcock comes to you courtesy of Igor (our faithfull ancient retainer) who has invented a drink all on his own (he got into the Tapsters bar supplies it would seem) Igors' Chain he calls it! A lively and interesting (not to mention potent) brew of Peach schnapps, a few other spirits and fruity delights known only to Igor who refuses to divulge the exact ingredients! Queenofmean has insisted that tonight's hot plate is my meatballs in red wine with pasta, and continuing the Italian theme on the pudding trolley is a wonderful creamy tiramisu, naturally we also have on offer the cutomary selection of horses doovers (can I reiterate they did NOT come from Tesco!) and volly vonts.
Tonight we have drafted in our local band the Tone Deafs to provide the music for our revelries - I have given the Minstrels the evening off so they can attend the annual Minstrel convention on Muckleflugga.
As always, bungee jumping is available from the south tower, the hot tub is all fired up and bubbling on the north tower, the Tapster has set up the bar in the Great Hall so let our revelries commence!
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Minty, sweetie, the sparkly pink thingy is in the wash and will be returned to you on your next visit (Plant fished it out of the moat) Take care, and
be especially careful when lighting that candle or Tony......maybe you should just put a torch in the window might be safer......
Night night..
Thank heavens for that Tony I wouldn't want her going home and lighting a candle - who knows what might happen, (I simply don't know what Igor put in that tailcock!)

i would like to request, if it is not too forward, overnight accommodation in the guest bedroom please .... i promise to slip out quietly tomorrow morning before breakfast
You will not slip out before breakfast Excel - what sort of hostess do you think I am? Belle will organise a suite or you in the guest wing and will at the same time take your order for breakfast and it will be brought to your suite when you request it!
If you are content in the hot tub, just you carry on, please do not hesitate to ring for anything you might need.
For myself I shall be retiring to my chambers soon, once I have organised the staff in the clearing up. I do like things neat and tidy and the staff are so obliging. In case I do not see you again this evening, I shall bid you goodnight now.
May I bid you all adieu. Igor has kindly brought my trusty steed from the stable and is harnessing him to the sleigh as we speak. A delightful evening my dear nungate, til we meet again.
The sleighs are at the door for any guests who require transport home.
Igor, Dyson, time to commence the clear up. Belle, you are of course in charge of the guest suites, will you take care of our guests?
Chubb, when all the guests have left will you lock up?
Thank you, I shall be in my chambers if needed.
