Good evening a welcome to all members of the Mad Over Fifties club. we have a packed programme of events for tonight. The Minstrels are in the gallery warming up for their usual round of madrigals and toccatas and in the ballroom our favourite local band the Tone Deafs are warming up for an evening of sixties covers! Our tailcock this evening is the "Tiny Teddy" named for the newest member of our family Teddy the kitten! Tonight's hot plate special is Bangers and mash with onion gravy, and on tonight's pudding trolley we have strawberry tarts with Chantilly cream (Queenie was busy making the cream before she scooted off to the speedway) For your further entertainment in the vestibule we have Dr Zonko and Hilda (his beautiful assistant) with amazing magic tricks and lion taming!
The hot tub is on the north tower bubbling away the mini bar has been replenished (thank you Igor) The bungee still has plenty of bounce in it!
Both swimming pools are ready for members use (cosies are available in the changing rooms), the rowing boats are lined up on the shores of the lake, and the race track has been re-laid and the cars revved ready to use.
The gardens are looking splendid and the barbecue down on the beach are all set the arrival of our members.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
I wanted a career in the law. (Too embarrassed to say solicitor) No, a barrister. Father said I should leave school at 16 and go to work for his friend, a solicitor. I wanted to go to University.
Decided against the law when I realised it had nothing to do with justice, just who could make the better case.
Come in and sit down Jeza, you are more than welcome! The more the merrier in fact! Tailcock? Igor will bring one along presently, do you prefer a glass or a bucket?
Good evening Madame. I'm Igor, I'll be your waiter this evening. Can I interest you in tonight's Tailcock? We call it the Tiny Teddy, you can have it in a glass or in a silver bucket, my minion Frank will be with you in a moment with some volly vonts and canopies, unless you'd rather have some bangers and mash....
Oh, do we replenish the chocolate cupboard Mammar? I thought that was your own personal fiefdom. I'm sure we can come to some arrangement, I'll have a word with Belle
