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
There's loads of everything left Tony, I'm glad you like the meatballs, Queenie would have me make them every week, but too much of a good thing and all that....
Oh dear, do try not to splatter the walls Mammar dear, I doubt a coffee coloured pebble dash would sit well with the silver grey granite of the Towers walls ...... do be careful, I'd have to get steeplejacks in to clean the walls
I have the answer to the problem, Nungate, dear.
Before taking the leap I shall put this empty silver bucket over me 'ead thus solving several problems in one go.
Minty, you were merely "tired and emotional" last week, nothing to worry about...............
Queenie, you could make the chicken in white wine with the grapes (it's actually called Chicken Veronique - same idea as sole Veronique only without the fish (you know how much I hate fish......)
