Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Time to open up Nungate Towers once more for the meeting of the AB Mad Over Fifties Club.
Thanks to Queenofmean for keeping things going last week when I was having techinical problems, these are still ongoing and it's largely thanks to Igor (ancient family retainer) that I can be with you tonight. Sadly Igor can't be here as he has suffered a broken leg when he tripped over his chains when he was polishing the cobwebs in the dungeons. He may be out for a few weeks, and as his minion Frank is still away at minion training school, Plant the undergardener has stepped in to try and fill in for Igor (no mean feat!) Many regular members will no doubt be aware of Plant, he has assisted Igor many times and though generally to be found out around the grounds, he has been on hand to assist in the Gentlemen's Ablutions on meeting nights. He has many skills not least his ability to make things "disappear", cloaks, coats, boots, bodies anything at all, he can also be relied upon to return them to their owners as and when (or if) required.
Now to tonight's meeting. The Tailcock tonight will be the "Grizzly Bear-tini"
a new take on the classic martini! Our hot plate special tonight is a tasty cottage pie and lots of lovely veggies! On the pudding trolley we have a nice selection of ice cream sundaes, and of course in the bery best tradition of the Mad Over Fifties, volly vonts and canopies! Up in the gallery, the minstrels are warming up, getting their madrigals and toccattas prepared. Meanwhile back in the ballroom the Tone Deafs are warming up for tonight's trip back to the '60's! Up in the North Tower the hot tub is bubbling away, the mini bar has been refilled, the bungee is full of bounce (just be mindful where you aim, there are piranhas in the moat). As the evenings grow darker and cooler, I'd like to remind members that the library is open to all members, you will find a fine selection of leather bound tomes and all the latest periodicals including Cow Punchers monthly and the Wheeltappers Gazette, the games room is well stocked with all sorts of games for members amusement. For those in need of a quiet moment the snug is always there, a roaring fire, comfy sofas and a few trays of nibbles - drinks can be found in the cabinet in the corner)
For tonight's rofl I offer:
Slightly used strip light (from the garage)
Pile of colouring books (all coloured in)
Pack of yeast (use by July 2012)
1 bad tempered cat (see avatar ...... kidding, I am keeping her!) she's been naughty!
a warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Ah yes nungate ' The Five Iron' it has also let me down on numerous occacisions, I find that i can bend then pretty easily !.

Hey DT, those cats sound like the dogs doo dahs.

[nungate]

Hello Mammar, Plant will be with you directly, how are you?

You made it back then Tony? Teh five iron was the bane of my husband's life! I thought if I bought him a new one he might stop blaming the club and so on but .... then he had the accident and it put paid to his golfing!

[DTCwordfan]

To give you an idea - the french boat here

[Mammar]

Five irons?
Crikey, I've only got one Morphy Richards and I hardly ever plug that in.

[tonyav]

Evening Mammar got any choc ?.


Yes nungate, that bloody five iron, sorry to hear that about Mr nungates accident though.

[tonyav]

Cool boat DT, I'd love a go on one of those.

[DTCwordfan]

I think that you may find that adrenaline can be coloured brown, tone.

[nungate]

They certainly shift through the water. Aesthetically speaking though, there's a lot to be said for those old fashioned sailing yachts, it's difficult to get enthused by a couple of slender hulls joined by a net .... there's no artistry, sleek lines and all that sort of thing, guess I prefer the old fashioned style of racing yachts

[tonyav]

LOL, I have often found that to be the case DT.

[Psybbo]

Sorry, party pooper here, 4 dogs have tired me out, off to bed goodnight and thanks, nungate xx

[DTCwordfan]

By chance, these had their championship on-going in Falmouth today, as we brought the cutter back into its berth.

[tonyav]

Ah your dog sitting the grand dogs then, Psybbo.

Good night, sleep well.

[DTCwordfan]

I'll give you a lift in a few minutes, sibs....

some thrills and spills from the Plymouth A-Cup earlier on.......about 2/3rds the size of what Ben Ainsley won on in San Fran

[tonyav]

Well that's bloody well exciting DT, hasn't put me of wanting to have a go though.

[nungate]

Good night to you Sibs, I know how you feel I'm whacked trying to keep Teddy (kitten) away from grumpy old Molly (my avatar!) she keeps cornering the poor wee thing - and he hasn't got the sense to stay safe where I can watch both him and her!

[tonyav]

Poor Teddy is still getting knocked about then, nungate.

[nungate]

'fraid so, she's always after him, as soon s she thinks I'm occupied with something else and not paying attention she's after him! It's alright if Max one of the other cats is about as he steps in to protect the little one, and he's never stood up to Molly before Teddy's arrival. She is a bit of a grump and a bit of a bully

[DTCwordfan]

better give sibs a lift then, so night to all and ta...hope igor feels better soon.

[tonyav]

Good old Max the minder then, nungate. When Teddy is a bit bigger things may be different then.

[tonyav]

G'night DT.
