Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Hello, and welcome to Nungate Towers for another gathering of the Answerbank's Mad Over Fifties Club. As we all gather in the vestibule before scooting off in pursuit of our favourite pasttimes shall I tell you of all the treats we have in store for tonight?
Tonight the Tailcock will be the "Woffy" a tailcock of distinction and created as a celebration of British Speedway Rider's Tai Woffenden's victory in tonight's Speedway Grand Prix in Poland. Ladies and Gentlemen of MOFC. Britain has a new World Champion! He needed only 6 points to become World Champion which he achieved in the earliest races of this evening (I might also add that he achieved this suffering with a broken collar bone!) A quick round of applause for opur latest world champion!!
Our hot plate special this evening will be a delicious roast chicken with all the usual trimmings! I might also add that our chicken tonight was raised on the Nungate estate - the chickens here are vicious but delicious! On the pudding trolley there is a lovely apple and blackberry crumble (there seems to be a glut of Blackberry's these days since the advent of the Iphone - nice to be able to use them up!) and lashings of custard!
Of course as always we have a wonderful selection of volly vonts, canopies and a welcome return to our menu, horses doovers! mmm yum!
The minstrels are again up in the gallery warming up to give us their toccattas, fugues and madrigals! As the evening progresses they will give us their own interpretation of the greatest hits of Kiss! (?) Moving along, performing in the indoor swimming pool we have the Muckleflugga and Penge
Formation Drowning ..... sorry Swimming team! Up on the north tower the hot tub is bubbling away, the bungee is full of bounce (I reiterate to take care where you "aim" the bungee - moat is full of piranhas) There's a roaring fire in the snug for those in need of a quiet moment, there is also a good fire in the Library, and, the latest edition of Crochet and Arc Welding weekly has just arrived! Tickets for tonight's rofl are available from Belle in the vestibule. Igor has sent a message from his sick bed. He thanks you all for your good wishes, poor lamb is still in traction but hopes everyone will have a good time and he will be back in his chains as soon as he possibly can.
Be assured a warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals!

The chicken thighs are rather good...they are laced with something and a thigh will make you high.

Aaah the pub lunch tomorrow is decided upon.

A Woffee/Toffee bucket please.....

[nungate]

Plant, would you fetch more buckets please?

[tonyav]

One for me as well please, Plant. Mmmmm and some of those horses doovers as well please.

Good evening all. Apologies for the late appearance but the plane from Milan (loaned to me by Donatella) got lost.

[DaisyNonna]

Where exactly is a horse's doover?

[tonyav]

I won't mind the first five !,
Evening mrs overload.

[tonyav]

Not to sure about that, Daisy. Taste good though.

[DaisyNonna]

Evening Mrs Overhaul. How may bullets in each magazine?

[nungate]

It's best not to ask too many questions about the horses doovers Daisy, though it is safe to say there is no actual horse contained in them.

Good evening Mrs O. Save the best till last I always say. I do hope the copies of the Embalmer Magazine might come my way, they'd grace any library!
Do have a bucket of "Woffy" or would you prefer it in a crystal glass?

[DTCwordfan]

I'm feeling shot with that.....it reminds me, I must get some lead in my pencil for drawing tomorrow.

[DaisyNonna]

Thank goodness, nungate, was starting to worry. Perhaps Plant could bring me some on his next foray into the room. Missed dinner. Too busy practising my heel leads.

[mrs_overall]

Evening all.
Nungate - a bucket would be most welcome but seeing as I am a lady, could I have a straw with it please

[tonyav]

No ice then, mrs overkill ?.

[nungate]

And how are you managing the heel leads Daisy? I'd be glad enough if my legs would stop acting up and work properly, it would be grand to practise a heel lead or two when I think of it..... I like a nice waltz
Speaking of waltzes, which waltz music would you most like to dance to? I'm very fond of the Merry Widow waltz myself, or as I once called it the Merrow Widdy (Queenie was in fits)

[nungate]

Plant, there are some straws in the cabinet next to the bar - ask the Tapster if you can't find them ....

[mrs_overall]

psssst tony. I don't want ice....it is watered down enough as it is

[nungate]

Plant ... bung some more of that firewater into the Woffy mix

[DaisyNonna]

With difficulty nungate. The Skater's Waltz helps. Difficult to put toes down first on ice skates.

[tonyav]

Wondered why I needed to have that extra bucket to get a buzz !.

[DTCwordfan]

Mine had a hole in it, I think.............bring back Igor!
