Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

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


Carriages at midnight

[DaisyNonna]

Children's picture book. Absolutely lovely.

[DaisyNonna]

Is that the same as a lock in Steve?

[nungate]

The carriages are here at midnight, no one need to leave at midnight. The band plays on, the tailcocks flow, the food is replenished, there are guest suites for those who wish to remain, quite often the Tower are a bit like the old Windmill, the never closed, we seldom close

[Igor61]

Madame the staff are assembled.

[DaisyNonna]

Actually just waiting for the electric blanket to heat up.
Pouring with rain here and the wind is battering in off the coast.

[nungate]

tell them to party on Igor, party on!!

[DaisyNonna]

Last lock in I went to was in Hartlepool.

[tonyav]

Last lock in I was in was at Walsall police station !.

[nungate]

Never been to a "lock in" I've led a very quiet life ..... honest!

[DaisyNonna]

At least you could probably understand the accent.

[tonyav]

LOL, well I ought to, hadn't I Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

nungate, you sit in the semidarkness, have another drink and wait for the police to arrive. Then slide out of the back door. Just a game. Keeps the nightshift awake.

[nungate]

I sit in the semi darkness most nights Daisy, sometimes I sip raspberry gin, but I don't have to watch for the police as I'm here at the Towers.
Though I did live next door to a pub, and he used to have lock in's on Sunday afternoons, he close the shutters and make like there was no one there. Nobody was fooled!

[tonyav]

Knowing what the police are like in my neck of the woods Daisy, they would be there for a drink as well !.

[DaisyNonna]

Can't remember the last time I saw a policeman. Did see a community whatever on a bus about 2 months ago. A police car did break the speed limit down the main road about three weeks ago.
Are they all playing online games?

[nungate]

Feel much the same Daisy, but I know they exist Queenie spoke to two, first time to report her Dad's missing wallet, and then second time to tell them to close the case it had been found, it had slipped under the front seat of our car and couldn't be seen from outside - he was in Newcastle when he missed it! He called me, then his office and someone pooped out to his car to see if they could see it......that was when we decided we should cancel all his cards! ooops!

[nungate]

^^^that should have been "popped" out ^^^
