Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Our Tailcock tonight will be the "Supervolcano" something hot and spicy to warm the cockles on a cold January night. Something else to warm the heart and stomach is tonight's Hot Plate Special, a delicious Chicken casserole with herby dumplings, mm yum!! On the pudding trolley, we have a lovely Lemon and Sultana Steamed pudding with lashings of custard or whipped cream, and as always there will be the usual selection of volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers, and, also a choice of other delicious nibbles.
For those brave (or foolhardy souls) the bungee is in full working order (try and aim away from the moat one of these days I must have it re-sited [i
as it is common knowledge that the piranhas in the moat bite! The hot tub on top of the North Tower is bubbling away nicely, and the mini bar up there is fully stocked. In the Great Hall Gallery, the Minstrels are warming up to give their customary selection of madrigals and toccattas [i] it must be nearly time for time for them to go off on their tour of Muckelflugga - can't come soon enough [i] and they have also promised to perform their own versions of the greatest hits of Alice Cooper ............... mm fairy 'nuff. However, we have also engaged the services of a folk singing trio known hereabouts as the Four Sheepherders, they sing in a traditional manner (one hand over the ear and Arran sweaters all round) somewhat akin to the famed songs of that great of yester year Rambling Sid Rumpo ..... [i] cough ]

I have a few things on offer for tonight's rofl:
2 tins of Quality Street (empty of their contents, Thank you Mr Nungate)
12 inch wide terracotta flower pot (broken)
LP of Joe Dolce's Great Hit ..

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals. Igor is on hand for the concealment of coats, cloaks, and jackets (and the occasional broom)
These items may or may not be returned to their rightful owners at end of our festivities. (this matter is somewhat dependent on Igor's ability to remember where the um bodi items have been hidden) As always Igor will be your server for tonight ably assisted by Plant and possibly Frank the minion in training.

The group, Lindisfarne used to use them, tony....

[tonyav]

Frank and I were sword fighting with a pair of pokers in the great hall, he's not bad at fencing for a trainee minion.

[DaisyNonna]

Tea? Yugh! Cannot drink it.

[tonyav]

Had they, DT.

[tonyav]

Ok, coffee then, Daisy.

[nungate]

A woman after my own heart! Can't abide tea either! Last time I drank some was 22nd July 1988, and only because I was in a state, my wee one had to be taken to Special care as she had meningitis - they thought tea would calm me! (nobody thought to give me gin that might have worked!)

[DaisyNonna]

Foiled again by nungate Tony?

[DaisyNonna]

Scotch works best for me nun. Did they load the tea with sugar?

[tonyav]

Afraid so, Daisy.

Frank wanted to try some Errol Flynn type of sword fighting, but he broke the chandelier don't tell nungate.

[DaisyNonna]

Your secret is safe with me. Hope mine are with you.

[tonyav]

Of course, Daisy.

[nungate]

No, thank God! Would have made it even worse!

[DTCwordfan]

what's happened to that Psybbs....?

That must have been horrendous, nungate.

[nungate]

bit traumatic, she was there for four weeks but it turned out fine in the end (I think)

[DaisyNonna]

Remember people trying to ply me with sugared tea after an accident. Managed to break the cup.

[tonyav]

Don't know, DT, she seems to have disappeared wonder if she is hiding out in the wine cellar.

[nungate]

shudders at that thought Daisy!

[Igor61]

Do you require anything from the kitchens or from the bar Madame?

[tonyav]

Four weeks is a long time, nungate.
