Here we are again, another meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club! Welcome to Nungate Towers, one and all.
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "November Noggin" a lovely spicy brew - guaranteed "central heating" for this cold damp evening! On our menu tonight we have a rich hearty beef casserole with dumplings, as our hot plate special, on the pudding trolley we have plum duff and custard! Other treats for tonight are volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers!
Up in the gallery the Minstrels are currently playing pontoon but later on they will be regaling us with their usual selection of madrigals and fugues, down in the ballroom our favourite local band The Tone Deafs have joined with the Hotel Spendido Palm Court Orchestra to form a "supergroup" and they will be swinging along to the popular tunes from the "Swing" era! (pass me my bobby socks!) Meanwhile down in the Music room we have a special treat, the return of Flamenco Flo and her performing poodles!
Everybody dance now!!!
For the rofl tonight I have to offer:
set of broken lute strings (courtesy of the Minstrels)
1 cardboard box (empty but useful)
Spare set of chains (thank you Igor)
My mother had a poodle which rejoiced in the name Flint. He hated my cat, Trixie. When Flint was taken for his last walk in the evening Trixie would insist on going too. Jumping on the walls and scuttling around Flint as if to say, "Look, no lead."
Yes, poodles Tony Sir, Flamenco Flo and her flippin' poodles, only gone and made a mess on the Aubusson carpet!!!!! Will take ages for Dyson to get that cleaned, we may need to call in a professional, it's a valuable carpet!
Madame will not be amused!
