Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to tonight's meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties Club. Sadly, Queenofmean sends her regrets as she will be unable to join us this evening, due to serious computer problems.
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Barca Blaster" (we're playing a BIG game tonight and we need the extra support) For our hot plate special we have resurrected that old favourite "Potage Bonne Femme" (you have no idea how difficult it is to locate a Good Woman these days!) served with lots of fresh crusty bread (and butter if desired) of course, as always there is a variety of canopies, volly vonts, and horses doovers, on tonight's banquet table. On the pudding trolley we have Lemon meringue pie, with whipped cream, also on offer is a delicious fruit salad.
The Minstrels are already up in the gallery warming up to give us their usual rendition of madrigals and fugues, while down in the Ballroom we have the Ecclefecchan Girl Pipers playing a selection of show tunes .. interesting
The fires are burning brightly in the hearths, the games room is ready for use, in the Library there is a fabulous selection of books and all the latest Magazines and Periodicals, including a copy of "Plumbing and Crochet Weekly". Up on the North Tower the hot tub is bubbling away and the mini bar had been refilled. The bungees is ready to use, just bear in mind to aim away from the moat as the piranhas do bite! It is possible for a stroll around the grounds as we have installed some outside lighting, just be careful to stay on the lighted paths. The indoor swimming pool is available for member's use (cossies can be borrowed).

For tonight's rofl I offer:
Queenie's laptop (broken....)
my brother (lazy oik and has totally p**sed me off)
Athletico Madrid (they are totally P***ing me off tonight)
Saturday Night TV - thank goodness for Spanish Football and MOFC!

not sure who has rattled my cage tonight but consider it rattled!

however,
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals tonight

Depends how much the Chancellor gets paid, Tony.

[Igor61]

Rules of the House State quite clearly Tony sir

"Madame is always right - even when she is wrong"

I know my place

Ah, I know that rule well, Igor !.

[nungate]

suffice it to say he's been around the block more than a few times ...

[DaisyNonna]

Perhaps he should be The Venerable Igor? As befits a Prince.

I should imagine, loads of dosh, Daisy.


Around the block a few times, nungate, I should imagine most of us except Queenie on this thread have lol.

[Igor61]

The Venerable? I don't think Madame would permit it, anyway I really like being the Ancient Family Retainer sort of suits me I think

[nungate]

Certainly not as much as Igor. The Venerable sounds somewhat grand for our dear old Igor, (though he is a prince among retainers!)

[DaisyNonna]

But retainers are what Americans call braces on teeth!

[nungate]

two countries separated by a common language!

[tonyav]

Question Author
suffice it to say he's been around the block more than a few times ...

He still looks good though, nungate considering the mileage on his clock.

[nungate]

good genes Tony, it's all in the genes! Not even a creak of arthritis!

[tonyav]

good genes Tony


Ah a man after my own heart, nungate, I to have good jeans, Levi's actually !.

[nungate]

oh kaaay! Levis .....

[DaisyNonna]

Tony, give them back to Levi immediately!

[DaisyNonna]

And braces are suspenders!

[nungate]

sheer madness! crimes against language?

[tonyav]

DaisyNonna
Tony, give them back to Levi immediately!

He gave them to me though, Daisy, they don't fit him any more well not since Christmas anyway.

[DaisyNonna]

Often been intrigued by the word Solicitor

[tonyav]

Don't forget that pants are trousers, Daisy.
