Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Mad Over Fifties Club. Here at the Towers we are in Olympic mood reflected in tonight's tailcock the "Sochi doodah"
Igor has donned his ski salopettes and Plant has taken to wearing silk thermals, there are large screens throughout the Towers showing the action and replays of todays events from the games.
Tonight's menu also reflects the games, on the hot plate tonight we have Fondue! A meaty version, a cheesy version and a sweet chocolate version!
(yumm) On the pudding trolley Black Forest Gateau (is it just me or is there a seventies vibe going on?) Echoing that our favourite local band the Tone Deafs will be playing a selection of seventies hits! Needless to say our customary volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers are also on the menu for tonight. Of course we also have some warming gluhwein and hot rum toddies!
Up in the gallery the Minstrels are warming up, another evening of madrigals and toccattas await us .......................
The fires are all banked up and nice cosy rooms await all who may not wish to indulge in some of our other activities. Talking of "alternatives" we have pushed the boat out, we have a ski slope, and an ice rink has been installed
skates are available for anyone wishing to go skating (sparkly costumes are optional) Why should we miss out on some snow fun and games? If that does not appeal, why not skip the Ski and go straight to the Apres Ski? As always, the hot tub is back up on the north tower - and yes the mini bar is back there too, we still do not have the use of the bungee, (elf and safety)
However, the indoor pool is ready to use, the games room is fully equipped,
the library is fully stocked and has a wide a varied selection of magazines and periodicals, including the latest edition of Crochet for Rugby Scrums
All in all we have a full programme for tonight's meeting.

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

carriages at midnight.

Thank you for the silver bucket Igor. I see it hasn't tarnished so therefore no Russian cyanide in this Sochihooch.

[tonyav]

LOL, like it, DT, I haven't had a gritty pillow since I was last on the beach at Saint Georges well.

[DaisyNonna]

Don't really know Tony.
DT. Eric will be so pleased to be remembered!

[Igor61]

I take all the silver into my pantry every week and polish it DT sir, nothing nasty hereabouts to tarnish my silver

[nungate]

Our Igor is very proud of his silver polishing skills you know

[DTCwordfan]

Note to self: Avoid the Midlothian/Lothian area on Tuesday mornings for the foreseeable future.

Sorry to hear about the flat, Daisy - newspaper is a great insulator if you pack it in.....not pretty but a good stop-gap (excuse the pun).

[nungate]

S'ok DT you only have to avoid where we live and you know where that is

[Psybbo]

DT, what's happening where you are tonight?

[DTCwordfan]

I know - no reference - just in case the AB Licensing authorities remove it from the map

[nungate]

your secret is safe with us DT

[DaisyNonna]

Moving the furniture, rolling back the carpet, crawling around on my hands and knees brandishing the Telegraph sounds like a barrel of laughs.
Something to do on a wet afternoon. must remember to have mobile to hand in case I can't get up again
Think I need another drink Igor, if you please.

[DTCwordfan]

still very windy - squalls laden with hail (one dumped an inch this pm) coming through. I have one of those mini Toyotas from Enterprise (Hertz cars were all gone with the railway issues), the car looking like a shrivelled prune, and that was bounced on the wind a few times on the Newquay-Truro road when I slipped out for the Sino-number 56 take-away. Okay the car is tiny and lightweight but........

[Igor61]

your wish, my command

Does anyone require refills?

[tonyav]

Is it one of those Toyota IQ's, DT.

[tonyav]

Yes please Igor, another bucket for me please.

[nungate]

but? does it need some ballast or something to weigh it down DT?

Used to have that problem on exposed roads in the BMW getting blown about, can't be pleasant in a wee car

[Igor61]

your bucket sir,

[DTCwordfan]

An Aygo, Tony......

[tonyav]

Thanks Igor.

Ah yes, DT, tiny indeed.

[DTCwordfan]

better than no car!
