Good evening and welcome to all Mad Over Fifties as Nungate Towers throws open it's doors and bid you welcome.
For your delight and entertainment we have an abundance of treats for you all.
Our hot plate special tonight will be a roast chicken with all the usual trimmings! Of course there will be our customary selection of volly vonts and canopies, nibbles too! On the pudding trolley tonight we have a banoffee pie we have a glut of bananas in the greenhouses, so for tonight's tailcock we have a Banana Daiquiri, (other beverages are also available and we also have banana splits as an alternative pud)
The Minstrels finally were released from the Bank on Tuesday and are once again in their usual spot in the gallery ready to torment us with their usual madrigals and toccattas, later on they have a rare treat in store as they give their musical interpretation of the greatest hits of Northern Soul....... ok The vast and extensive grounds of Nungate Towers have been opened to allow club members to stroll through, the maze is now open and rowing boats are available down by the lake. The bungee is ready for bouncing, the hot tub is bubbling nicely on the North Tower (mini bar has been replenished) and
Carlos Gonzales Shuttleworth and his Band of Mexican Banditos will be playing in the Ballroom for those members wishing to trip the light fantastic.
Let me remind all members that the moat is unsuitable for bathing owing to the resident piranhas. Members wishing to go swimming are advised to use the indoor pool which is situated in the basement beneath the West Tower.
We shall be holding a rofl later in the evening's proceeedings and all members wishing to participate are requested to get their tickets in the vestibule.
A warm welcome all who dare to enter these hallowed halls.
Evening all! Coo a good full house tonight, Nungate.
Igor, I have a powerful thirst on me. Would you be a dear and bring me a bucket of anything? You choose.
And Excel, hitch up in that hot tub. I'm coming with a leg off the chicken and a bowl of bananas and custard for afters. You want me to bring you a spoon?
It's amazing what you manage to fit on your broom Daisy.
Excel the nurse gave me some extra dressings, and told me to ask the nurse
next week for ahem something for the weekend (which made me giggle) meaning dressings to take me through the weekend so it would seem that this thing is going to be a long time a healing
Oh, and for the raffl I have a working tin opener just in case
A tub of cream for any lurking strawberries (only just out of date, end of Feb)
A handful of hundreds and thousands
And a big hammer
Best beloved has rigged up a nice box with a "leg" cushion on it but it is still uncomfortable - he does his best really, but I just can't settle as it's not easy to sit and type and keep a leg so elevated that the ankle is higher than the hip! That's the uncomfy bit......

mammar. good to see you, at last we are both here together, i gather your chocolate vault (with the plaque i paid for) was officially christened last week

I'm getting Minty withdrawal symptoms. Haven't seen a sparkly for ages and although Daisy looks beautiful in her cossie, you can't beat a Minty moment
Excel, why do you think I'm bringing you a spoon to share my bananas and custard? I don't usually share but the plaque is so bright and shiny you deserve a treat.
