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.


Members will please note that the management of the Towers does not accept any liability for any injury sustained on the ski slope or any misuse of equipment. These entertainments are undertaken at members own

I could put Queenie onto it - she's a bit savvy computer wise - well she tells/shows me what to do otherwise I'd be roadkill on the information superhighway! Or else we could tell her what to look for on youtube and let her find it for herself

[tonyav]

What is it you would like to send to Queenie, Daisy ?.

[DaisyNonna]

I am rather out of my depth. Will tell her the title and Band name.
Sure she will love it. She enjoys choreographing dances.

[nungate]

other way around Tony, Daisy would like to send some of the music to her granddaughter, and I though Queenie could help - she has her uses!

[DaisyNonna]

Want to send Jump Jive and Wail to Megan
No idea where to begin

[tonyav]

I will Email you, Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks Tony.
Time for carriages I fear.

[tonyav]

G'night, Daisy.

[nungate]

Still early for me - seldom get to bed before 2.00, waiting up for Best Beloved, though he was early tonight, got home a few minutes ago. He's doing some chores, then supper and eventually up the wooden stair to Bedfordshire!

[nungate]

Good night Daisy, see you in the funny papers!

Will look out the music and will also try to dig up what I can remember from my trips to the city of light

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks for your hospitality and company.
Lekker slaap Nun and Tony.
Bonne Nuit

[nungate]

bonne nuit Daisy, dormez bien

[tonyav]

Check your Email in box, Daisy, see if thats any use to you.

And anyhow whats this with the foreign lingo.

[DaisyNonna]

Wilco Tony xxx

[nungate]

Well Daisy is practising for her upcoming trip and I'm just checking to see if I can still remember it - my Spanish being better than my French

[tonyav]

Ah, right, practising speaking da lingo in a foreign land then.

[nungate]

mais oui, si, ja. aye, yes and oh, si again! (Italian)

[tonyav]

I only understood the English and almost the Scottish lingo then, nungate ;-)

[nungate]

well it's a start Tony - you could learn Spanish with the Daily Mail this week, they are giving away language discs in Spanish - first one has
Hello, Excuse me, Where's the Bar and Over There as Chapters. Nice to see they've got the most important questions right. Hello, where's the bar?
and the Reply : Over there good basic stuff!! The next one will probably have how to ask for a beer! It seems the Daily Mail knows the British character so well ..... tongue firmly planted in my cheek now! ;-)

[tonyav]

Yes nungate, very useful phrases those ;-)
