The hallowed portals of Nungate Towers are yet again thrown wide open in welcome all the Mad over fifties out there in AB land.
Come and frivol in the Great Hall, the Tapster has concocted possibly his best ever tailcock the "Cats Whiskers" (where he found the whiskers we don't know) but he claims it is a tasty brew which packs a real kick! For those among us who abstain the demon alcohol, he has been hard at work brewing you a delightfully decadent alcohol free drink the "cats paw!" guaranteed to refresh and deliciously quaffable. The hot plate special for this evening is a warming beef casserole with dumplings, and on the pudding trolley there is a creamy rice pudding (with jam if desired) plus a variety of ice creams (Scoff the chef has been busy this week!) The Minstrels have finally managed to return from the Minstrels convention on Muckleflugga (a bit of a per adventure by all accounts) and they will again deight us with their selection of Madrigals and fugues, later on they have promised to play us their own versions of the Greatest hits of Freddie and the Dreamers! (I can't wait) We have dancing in the great hall, food in the dining room, the hot tub in the North Tower is all fired up and ready, the bungee in the South Tower is primed and awaiting it's first .... vic.. volunteer of the evening.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these doors

Well, Tony it was like this - she was on the Christmas "do" with her colleagues from work, when we got a call to come and pick her up - she was (we thought) wasted, and Daddy and I weren't best pleased. Next morning we thought she was hungover, until we met one of the girls she works with who told us she had hardly drunk anything, (about 2 glasses of wine witha meal) When we got home again, she couldn't keep anything down (not even some water) and her sugar levels were all over the place, so we called NHS 24 and she had to go into hospital and was put on a drip to keep her fluid level up and medication to stop the vomitting - poor thing had that norvirus! Since then, she has more or less forsworn alcohol - she even takes the hump when I cook with it! (my little teetotaller......yeh right!)
Seeing that Murray is a manufacturer of scotch. I quote:
"Murray is an independent bottler of single malt Scotch whisky. Its bottlings are usually diluted-strength (rather than cask strength), and blended from multiple casks (rather than being single-cask bottlings). They are not chill-filtered, nor do they have any colouring added.
Murray was established in 1996. It was founded by Mark Reynier, Simon Coughlin, and Gordon Wright (who had previously been a director at Springbank Distillery).
To help in giving the company a Scottish identity, it was named after Reynier's grandmother, Harriet Murray.
Among the first Murray bottlings was a nine-year-old Laphroaig. Its release prompted legal action from Laphroaig's owner, Allied Domecq, alleging infringement of copyright. To comply, Murray ceased using the "Laphroaig" name, and released the next Laphroaig bottling with the label indicating the distillery of origin as "Leapfrog". These bottles are now sought after by collectors.
On December 19, 2000, Murray purchased the then-dormant Bruichladdich distillery and returned it to production."
Now we know.
