Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Welcome to tonight's meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties Club.
I trust everyone has battened down their respective hatches in readiness for the oncoming storm.
Tonight's entertainments will be as always the Minstrels in the gallery (with a candlestick, piece of rope and glitterball) In the ballroom we have engaged a tango ensemble who will play the music of the Argentine tango, and to demonstrate the dance, we have engaged the services of Muckleflugga's top tango duo Roberto McTavish and his partner the lovely Gladys Oglethorpe. We do hope we can send you all on a "trip" down "Argentine Way"
Our tailcock for this evening will be the Autumn Breeze, an interesting yet, potent brew. Also our hot plate special will be a delicious chicken and ham pie, creamy mash and a selection of veggies! On the pudding trolley
we are offering a treacle tart with lashings of cream. In the best MOFC tradition there will be the customary selection of volley vonts, canopies and other nibbles.
For the rofl I offer
An umbrella (broken spoke)
Avon catalogues (used and past order dates)
Queenie's favourite glass - broken, thank you Teddy
a set of matching anti macassars

Be sure to have your tickets ready at the appropriate time
Members can rest assured that if the storm arrives before close of the evening's proceedings, guest suites will be available in the west wing for any travellers unable to get home safely.
Otherwise, we have the hot tub bubbling and all set to go, the mini bar has been refilled. In light of the latest weather forecast the bungee will not be in use tonight (the piranhas in the moat can sleep safely) The games room is at members disposal as is the indoor pool and gymnasium (do try not to disturb Sir Cumference when you are down in the dungeons, he gets a bit grumpy if disturbed too much) Igor will be on hand to assist members with their outer garments and will hand them over to Frank for their concealment. Frank has been demoted from minion to assistant minion and has had his chains confiscated until he breaks his "unfortunate habit" He has also spent some time on the naughty step for his disobedience.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

[DaisyNonna]

Oh! Hadn't you noticed?
Love dancing. You are an excellent partner. Great timing.

[DTCwordfan]

well I shall leave you to tango and my thanks to Igor, nungate and all the Towers crew for their hospitality. Could be fun watching the dawn tomorrow.....

[nungate]

You might not be able to see the dawn if the weather turns as bad as forecast.

Night night DT

[Igor61]

Madame, have you forgotten Frank is still on the naughty step?

[tonyav]

DaisyNonna
Oh! Hadn't you noticed?

Of course I have Daisy, just thought I'd try out an old chat up line.

G'night DT.

[tonyav]

Oh gawd, yes poor Frank.

[nungate]

No, Igor I hadn't forgotten, I'm hoping the long "sit" will help him reflect on his misbehaviour. We may have to send him off to minion college to have him properly trained

[DaisyNonna]

Bit out of practice at being chatted up.
Come to think of it, bit out of practice of being chatted to.note to self, never end a sentence with a preposition

[tonyav]

Minion college, nungate. How long does it take to get a minion diploma ?.


Tony thinks of more old chat up lines.

[nungate]

I guess it's one of those open ended things, it takes as long as it takes!

[tonyav]

Hope it's sooner rather than later then nungate, poor Frank is pining for his chains.

[DaisyNonna]

Is it included in the National Curriculum nungate? A written exam or practical?

[nungate]

Well we tried the carrot didn't work so we've now resorted to the stick

We must have discipline and good order

[DaisyNonna]

Did not realise Frank was a vegetarian. Perhaps that is part of the problem.
Fish needed as brain food.

[tonyav]

G'night all, thanks for a lovely evening as usual nungate.
