Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Merry Christmas all members of AB's Mad over fifties!
Tonight is the "Christmas in July" Ball! For tonight's festivities we have opened the Ballroom it is festooned in fairy lights and evergreens, The Minstrels have been practising Carols all week and are down in the vestibule waiting to serenade club members as they draw up in the sleighs (don't ask how we managed snow in July - it wasn't easy)
Tonight's tailcock (in keeping with the Pantomime fancy dress theme) is the Principal Boy - an intriguing mix. On the hot plate we have a traditional Christmas dinner, turkey or goose and all the usual trimmings, on the pudding trolley of course there is Christmas pudding and Sherry Trifle, and of course our world famous volly vonts and canopies. As a special treat we have booked local mobile disco "Sounds of Music" to provide the music for dancing. Later on there will be eggnog and Christmas cookies by the roaring fire in the Great Hall, and carol singing around the tree led by the Tower's Minstrels, there is a fair chance of Santa popping in with some pressies! If we can get the snow to last there are plans for a snowman building competition (carrots, scarves, hats and coal will be provided)
Igor has polished his chains to perfection and he will be joined by his new minion Frank (who has just acquired his very first chain)
As always, the hot tub is bubbling away on the North Tower (mini bar has be replenished) the indoor swimming pool is ready for use (cossies in the changing rooms for guests who require them) We may or may not have fireworks to round off our evening, it depends on the weather.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Sleighs at midnight

I can't throw, having shoulder trouble - maybe I should get a catapult?

[tonyav]

Hey Mammar I like Meryl Streep especially in 'The Deer Hunter', great film.

[tonyav]

nungate, see Mammar about the errrrrrr catapult !.

[DaisyNonna]

At last! I have been trying to fly in since 20.00 hours.
Could not get anything to work. Was very, very cross. Had been looking forward to this evening.
A Principal Boy please. Do I really mean that? Actually prefer males. Alcohol!

[nungate]

That's another film I haven't seen ...... must be something wrong with me!

It is not unknown for me to watch the end of a film before I decide whether or not I actually want to see it

[Igor61]

Well at least he's making himself useful making snowballs

[Igor61]

Madame Daisy, I have a Principal boy for you, I thought you'd got lost on the way here what with all these thunderstorms, I was starting to worry

[nungate]

Glad you could make it Daisy, flying conditions alright tonight? Been a bit hairy weather wise around the Towers these past few days

[Mammar]

Daisy! Give us a twizzle!
You look spectacular.
And Tone, it's only punishment for Meryl being in Mama Mia. dreadful mistake.

[tonyav]

nungate if you get the chance to watch the Deer Hunter you'll enjoy it.

Good evening Daisy, have you had internet trouble ?.

[tonyav]

Fair enough then Mammar, big mistake rubbish film imo.

[nungate]

Daisy, are you wearing the blue suede boots? Igor is desperate to see them! He's probably too shy to ask though. I do love your fairy godmother costume, you look splendid! Does this green suit me? Tony says it does but I think he was just being polite

[DaisyNonna]

Thank you Igor. How lovely to be looked after by you.
I was beginning to panic. No contact at all.
Minimal thunder and lightning at home. Some rain but not much.

[Igor61]

We have had some really wild thunderstorms here Madame Daisy, I thought the piranhas might get washed out of the moat at one point.

[tonyav]

Tony says it does but I think he was just being polite

No nungate, I mean't it honestly.

[Mammar]

I can hear Igor's chains trembling with joy now you've arrived, Daisy.
Bless him

[queenofmean]

Tony.......not on your nelly will you be checking my passport!

[tonyav]

I thought the piranhas might get washed out of the moat at one point



I hope they don't Igor, still have nightmares about those things !.

[tonyav]

Well I may have to queenie, if your indipendant by then lol.

[DaisyNonna]

Igor, I am indeed wearing my blue suede stiletto boots. Come see. You may stroke them if you like. They bring back such happy memories.
