Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and a Happy New Year to all members of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Tonight we may try to keep our proceedings on the quiet side, in total contrast to all our recent festivities. So tonight, our tailcock will be the optimistically named "Summer Breeze" more in hope than expectation of an improvement in our weather.
On the Hot plate tonight, we have a delicious Cottage pie (we had a few spare cottages around the estate so why not?) on the pudding trolley a blast from the past in the shape of a jam roly poly with lashings of custard! Of course we will also have the usual volly vonts, horses doovers and canopies ready for our members.
Owing to adverse weather conditions the bungee will not be in use tonight and we have also decided that the hot tub on the North Tower will also be unavailable. We do have many other delights for our members, the indoor pool is ready for use, and we have installed a smaller hot tub down in the cellars by the pool, for those members who do like to use the hot tub) The games room have a wide array of games and amusements for our members use. Our well stocked library has all the latest magazines and periodicals including the Wheeltappers Gazette! Somewhere up in the gallery the Minstrels are already tuning up the madrigals and fugues and in the ballroom the Tone Deafs are returning with a selections of the Hits of Yesteryear!
Igor has returned from his short holiday relaxed and ready to serve drinks, hide coats and generally be the masterful ancient family retainer! He will be ably assisted by his minion Frank who has returned from Minion School a reformed (we hope) character!
Finally, a quick Thank you to Queenie for taking over last weeks's meeting owing to my indispostion
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

[DaisyNonna]

Sent a post about Villa result. Obviously not received. Difference of 51 places between them and Sheffield United.
Did not then get DT's or Igor's posts.

[nungate]

Oh dear, how far up the league are Sheffield United?

[DaisyNonna]

In League 1.18th. I despair. Need Martin O'Neill!

[nungate]

You really think Martin O'Neill is the answer to your prayers Daisy?

[DaisyNonna]

Perhaps not but at least he got them playing as a team. Are they really that inept or don't they care?

[nungate]

A collective boot in the appropriate place might be considered!

[DaisyNonna]

Let me at them! Could try a hex.
Anybody there able to play some music later on Mamya's thread for me?
Usually ask Tony.

[nungate]

What would you like Daisy? I could do it for you. You know it really is quite easy to do, Queenie showed me how and I regard myself as being road kill on the information superhighway! The only thing I can really do with a computer is type!

[DaisyNonna]

Please tell me how.
But until I have mastered it I would like April in Paris.

[nungate]

Whose version? Do you have a preference?

[DaisyNonna]

Either Frank Sinatra or Count Basie.
Got to get my insurance sorted!

[nungate]

I do the legwork for that Daisy, get the figures (occasionally a meerkat toy..) and himself does the rest!

Check out Mama's night night thread - have fun!

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks nungate. Now just got to keep the secret. Absolutely bursting.

[DTCwordfan]

Going to say night all, crashing here........thank you for the hoshpitality as always!

[nungate]

secret? now you have me intrigued!

[nungate]

Good night DT, sleep well, and stay dry!!

[DaisyNonna]

Lekker slaap DT.

[Zacs-Master]

Not what it once was in here is is? Where's Igor?

[nungate]

He's floating aaround here somewhere Zacs. It has been a bit quiet here this evening, think everyone is keeping their heads down in case they get blown off!

[Igor61]

Would you care for a bucket of Summer breeze, Zacs sir?
