Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to AB's Mad Over Fifties Club. Igor is on hand for the concealment of all cloaks, outer garments and broomsticks (please note aforementioned items are left at owners risk, we cannot guarantee the safe return of items left in Igor's care.)
As we maintain the Winter Olympics theme of the past few weeks, our Tailcock for tonight will be the "Icy Curl" (I wonder why.....?)
On our hot plate tonight we offer Steak and Ale pie with creamy mash, and peas. As always we have a selection of horses doovers, canopies and volly vonts, and on the pudding trolley Lemon and Sultana steamed sponge and custard (cream is also available)
The Minstrels are warming up in the Gallery (as usual) practising their Madrigals and toccattas, if you happen to be a music lover I'd advise against visiting the Music room this evening, the local hairy beardies folk singing group has been booked (not by me) and they will be performing traditional folk songs in there (no doubt wearing aran pullovers and one hand clasped firmly over one ear) In the ballroom we have DJ Funky Freddie for those members wishing to dance ............. (who booked these guys?)
Again I must remind members that the Bungee is not in operation until the spring and the hot tub has been relocated down to the dungeons by the indoor swimming pool. (mini bar too) The ice rink is still available for use as is the ski slope and the "sliding" track thingy - loads of trays for sliding too!
The library is fully stocked, and a lovely fire burns in the hearth, we also have all the latest magazines and periodicals for members use too, in fact I understand that we have the latest edition of "Mechanics for Lady Embroiderers" hot off the press.... there is a nice fire in the snug too for members wishing a quieter evening, the games room is primed and ready for those wishing to play. Be aware that strip tiddlywinks is strictly forbidden.
Anyone wishing to go for a wander in the conservatory is reminded not to feed the triffid.
Apologies have been received from Daisynonna who will not be in attendance this evening (Igor is devastated!) due to receiving a better offer but she has sent her spare broom Ernie with an offering for the rofl in the shape of and LP by the Dutch College Swing Band ............. mmm yeess!
Speaking of the rofl, I have to offer
2 door handles (broken)
Box of felt tip pens (all dry)
Pair of speed skates (thank you Elise, you wuz robbed!!!)
Year's subscription to Cow Puncher's Weekly

Would members please note anyone wishing to stay overnight in the guest suites in the West Wing should inform Belle ahead of time so that the suites can be prepared

A warm welcome awaits all who enter these portals

Evening ah wqench, Ohhhh, I could do with some new boxers.

[tonyav]

Hang on, how did that q find it's way in there.

[nungate]

Evening Alba, I think I will pass on the grey hairs though, I have plenty of my own (Queenie says I have more than enough)

Can Igor fetch you a bucket, or would you prefer a glass?

[Zacs-Master]

Good evening everyone. Igor, could I have a Laphroaig? No rocks no water.

[albaqwerty]

goodly evening our kid XX
Hope all is well with you and yours

Nun, my dear lady of the Keep-Towers, decorum suggests a glass, but a bucket sounds better, at least with a bucket you can get a chance to taste the flavours :-D

Hope you are much better, was sorry to hear you were poorly a few weeks ago

[queenofmean]

Yes Tony, it keeps you cool if its hot and keeps you toasty if its cold

[Igor61]

well Madame Alba if it is a bucket you wish a bucket you shall have, will you excuse me while I go to the silver vault for another

Mr Zacs, you may have the Scotch of your choice but it will be in a glass and not a bucket

[Zacs-Master]

Waterford crystal?

[nungate]

Dear Alba, we are all well, save for me but I am as well as can be expected under the circumstances.


I'm a little disappointed with my beloved Barca this evening though

[Psybbo]

Good evening nungate, oh thank you Igor (pinches Alba's drink)

[Igor61]

Edinburgh. Despite having some Irish blood, Madame has always favoured the Scottish glass, though I believe there may well be some suites of Waterford in one of the cabinets

[albaqwerty]

Zacs, don't be picky, just have a bucket with a long straw :-D



hic ☺

[Zacs-Master]

Minesweeper ^^^^

[tonyav]

Yeah, fine thanks ah wench.
Is it electric, Queenie ?.

[nungate]

Evening Madame Sibs, I shall fetch you another Madame Alba

[Zacs-Master]

Then go have a look, there's a good chap.

[nungate]

Igor, you are doing it again! How many times is this?

[albaqwerty]

Sibs, I can't chase after you, so enjoy!

Igor, yoo-hoo, refill please :-D

[Psybbo]

May I visit Queenie in her chambers to see how she is?

[Igor61]

My apologies Madame, I was merely trying to keep Madame Alba from being upset at the loss of her drink that I went for speed, it was quicker to use yours than mine
