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
Good evening, nungate, I was wondering the portals of the Towers were open this fair evening. The non-alcoholic regime continues unabated so a fruity delight minus the bananas please.
Trusting that the Towers had a good Burns Bairns Barns Bash last nicht.
please May I come in .....I promise to be good tonight and stick to irn bru......have brought the contents of Xmas drinks cabinet for raffle and I may even let Tony have a dance with ...that...gulp...woman.....
As the winner of the Burns prize in 1968 DT - I feel obliged to celebrate the occasion in the appropriate manner - sadly, Queenie doesn't feel the need to chow down on haggis and neeps so we had a selection of Spanish and Italian last night, though I did give a quick recitation of part of Tam O'Shanter!
For you non imbibers I have blended a delicious and refreshing blend of fruit nectars and juices - the Hawaiian Punch, one is winging it's way to you right now......
Oh Nungate! So pleased to see you. I was starting to worry that The Towers had been invaded by reavers and you were locked in a dungeon.
Pass us some chocolate, quick. Bagsy the tiramisu.
Evening all
Come away in Minty, no need to bring your own Irn Bru, I'm sure Queenie would be delighted to share hers with you, (and if she doesn't I have her Dad's stash in the fridge!)
Well, Mammar I posted at the usual time but there didn't seem to be anyone about, only the chatter of the crickets on the hearth in the snug.
Would you care for some of Igor's concoction?
Ah, the tiramisu.
Now that's what I call a chieftain of the puddin' race.
I feel I may be risking a beheading but if I can get the wonderful coffee delectation down me neck fast enough, it might be worth it
Good evening your ladyship and all, Idon't know how long I can stay, as I'm on a strange laptop with an even stranger keypad taking me to places I've never been. For the rofl I bring a dishof dogfood, some of Mrs_o's highly valued staples and a snow shovel neverused
Queenie..you are welcome to a slurp of my bru......want to have a go at that bungee thingy later so don't want too much fizz.....good job I thought to wear my pink sparkly thong.....been watching that splash..wait till tone sees my swallow with half tuck pike....
Pardon me manners. I've got a spoon in me mouth and I've not even unpacked the roffle prizes yet.
I have brung a bag of water in which is floating 2 bits of coal, a carrot and a very wet scarf. Guess what it was when I set off?
