I'm having a very frustrating time with my computer this evening and all the delights of this evening's meeting has been lost by my computer so, in order to get this meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club underway I'm taking a short cut.
The Tailcock: Summer Rain
Hot Plate Special: Spicy Spanish Chicken with patatas bravas and allioli
The Pudding Trolley: Crema Catalana (Spanish version of creme caramel)
The Minstrels will be playing Madrigals and Fugues in the gallery and later on they have threatened to give us their take on the Greatest hits of Jon Bon Jovi
As always the hot tub bubbles, the bungee is nice and bouncy, the moat is still full of piranhas, (the bungee has been moved to it no longer bounces into the moat - elf and safety) the grounds of the Towers are open to all members of MOFC, as are the rowing boats on the lake, the games room is available to all as is the swimming pool in the basements.
Since we didn't hold the rofl last week, all prizes have been "rolled" over for tonight's draw.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
A left handed corkscrew? Oooh put me down for that please! It's awful being a leftie in a world of righties ....
Hello Minty, you have been in the wars haven't you? You'll be pleased to know the bungee has been relocated and no longer dangles over the moat, it's now on the seawrd side of the Towers - just mind the rocks below ... we haven't got the mattresses moved onto them yet ...
Evenin' all.
The table looks lovely but my need is for a Tailcock. Some cooling Summer Rain if you would Igor.
What am I talking about? There's been enough rain here the past two days. It's been 'eshing it down!
Ah....Igor..lovlee..slurp...DT....blush...hope my granny doesn't read that !...for the roffl...white cotton nightie..half a bottle of buckfast...some cold chips....box of jelly babies...no black ones, they're my favourite...Tony tone...yoohoo...bring the savlon....
Igor, another bucket if you please, that one disappeared rather quickly I am afraid. The tension of watching the tennis.
You look remarkably suave ce soir, Igor. Spats are so elegant!
Nungate you must be careful on use of the Chinese twigs at the table.....if you can't use them with your right hand, you should apologise to any Chinese hosts.....
Hey everybody, Mammar's in the house! I hope you're well. Igor will be bringing your Summer Rain in just a mo, There hasn't been too much rain around the Towers this week, even today all we had was a wee shower I daresay it'll be along in it's own sweet time
Oh Minty, you're in a bad way. If Tone won't oblige with the Savlon perhaps Igor could help. As long as his chains don't get in the way.
I've only brought two items for the roffle this week: a pair of fingerless mittens and a bobble hat. (I had to get 'em out again, it's been perishing cold this week)
thankfully I've never had that problem DT as I've never been entertain by a Chinese host, though I do use the twigs in my left hand. Can't use them now of course.
Nungate, I'm going to experiment by dipping a Kit Kat in me bucket of Tailcock to see what 'appens. If I bite the end off first, I'm 'oping the Tailcock will soak into the biscuity bit.
Here goes . . .
nothing DT, my fave rider chose to ride in the GP with a badly broken collar bone. I've spent the night fretting about him and was hoping he would score enough points just to be happy, but he got to the final...came 3rd and is STILL second in the world championship!!
Miss Queenie...why are you floating on a cloud tonight ?....Igor Igor nuvver summer thing pleeeze then I'll get off to belle..slurp....Tone tone ..bring a few band aids....
