Welcome to Nungate Towers for the latest meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties Club.
After a very busy afternoon, we finally managed to get things ready in time.
Tonight's Tailcock is the "Clasico" (Barcelona 2, Real Madrid 1 whoop, whoop!) Colour me happy!
For tonight's Hot Plate Special we have chicken in a hot spicy tomato sauce. served on a bed of rice and on the pudding trolley there is a delicious sticky toffee pudding, served with custard or whipped cream (yum!)
Members will be pleased to know that our Igor has left the wheelchair behind him and now has a walking plaster and a crutch (alas he is still not permitted to wear his chains)
The hot tub is bubbling away on the north tower, the bungee is ready for bouncing (though I advise anyone using it to try to avoid the moat on the downward journey - the piranhas do bite!) Down in the dungeons, the indoor pool has had the heating turned up a little and there is a nice selection of cossies available for any member who didn't bring their own.
The Minstrels are in the gallery tuning up their usual selection of madrigals and fugues. Down in the grand ballroom, our favourite local band The Tone Deafs, is also warming up, tonight they have promised to play a selection of '60's classics.
There are roaring fires in the snug and also in the library, where members will find in addition to our vast collection of leather bound tomes, a good selection of magazines and periodicals, including the latest edition of The Arc Welder's Weekly Almanack.
For tonight's rofl, I offer
Best Beloved (he knows what he has done)
One bottle of frozen diet coke
Lady of Burlesque dvd (Barbara Stanwyck good film) faulty!
2 clips from a Beko dishwasher - broken
(been a heck of a week!)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals
Evening all, Igor glad to hear that your almost mobile again, my usuall bucket if you please colour me sad in my case, Villa lost 2 nil.
For the roffle I have one container of plumbers mate ( turned solid !) and several mixed spark plugs.
Evening Tony, sorry to hear your news. I hope I didn't sound too triumphant - it was a good game, Neymar scored in his first Clasico, back to earth again come Tuesday we're away at Celta Vigo. Plant will be along in a moment or two with your bucket. Sad to hear Sibs isn't feeling up to puff today
Hi ya, queenie.
This plumbers mate is a putty like substance in a plastic container, it is supposed to never go off, Daisy. Mine has ! doh.
Yes well done Barca, and good luck at Celta Vigo on Tuesday, nungate.
Depends if you are into 21 year old Brazilian strikers Daisy, personally I prefer the long haired centre (wasn't playing tonight) or the deliciously dark haired striker who was substituted for him (Pedro)
Evening Anne. I'm sure they do take requests, you simply have to ask.
it would seem we are to be awash in pens tonight, we shall never be short of a pen again!
