Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

I'm having a lot of computer trouble, tonight I am working on it. Have asked Daisy if she can act as host - very very short notice. Please be patient we'll get the club going as soon as we can - I'm hoping Igor can help

thanks

I must be a bit schizophrenic able to be the good cop and the bad cop

[tonyav]

Good cop spoke sweetly to it ( didn't work ) bad cop spoke nasty to it ( it worked ) lol.

Igor, yes you can be dyslexic with numbers. It is called dyscalculia. My son in law has it. The only card game one can play with him is Happy Families.
He always pays (if using cash) with either a pound coin or a note. A few years ago he complained that his legs ached (wearing combat trousers with two pockets on each leg as well as hip pocket). Daughter emptied pockets and found over £50 in change. He is a senior University lecturer.

I don't think I'm quite that bad Madame Daisy, I can add, and take away and since the invention of the calculator I have never really looked back. Though I have learned something, as for carrying around such a lot of change he must be awfully strong!

[DaisyNonna]

Right you are Tony. Collect a jar full of fire flies at the top of the cellar steps to give you some light. Choose a few bottles. Oh, don't upset the shelf elf.

doh, I'm sure nungate wrote that damned manual.

[DaisyNonna]

He has a great deal of stamina, Igor. When I worked with him doing archaeological field walking he was always almost hundreds of yards ahead of me. Not that I was much cop at carrying the ranging rods.

[tonyav]

Right, I'll go and select a few bottles then, Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

Which one was that Tony?

[tonyav]

The marriage manual, Daisy.

[nungate]

You'd better believe it Tony! ;-)

[tonyav]

[Zacs-Master]

Oh I do, nungate lol.

[tonyav]

The bottles have no labels on them, Zacs !.

[nungate]

very wise Tony, very wise!

Hi Zacs, Igor, please drinks all round!

[Igor61]

Just like being back at the Towers she's remembered I'm here

[Zacs-Master]

Ah well, just pour me a red. If it has purple bubbles that will be fine.

[DaisyNonna]

Neither!
Evening Zacs. Lovely to be able to greet you to the farm.
Igor is here to supply food and drink that Marguerite and Granny Grimbo have helped to supply. Nungate is here to make you feel at home. Tony is exploring the cellar. What would you like? Tonight's tailcock is the Daffy Doozy, there are vollys and canopies courtesy of Nungate and Welsh Rarebit, Bara Brith and Welsh cakes from our own kitchen.
