Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for tonight's meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties Club.
Igor is on standby at the entrance to welcome you and take care of your coats, cloaks and broomsticks all of which he will conceal in a variety of crooks and nannies throughout the Towers, whether they are seen again will be purely accidental!
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Waterloo Sunset" a small tribute to the inimitable Ray Davies of the Kinks.
Our hot plate special tonight will be a Chicken Chasseur - you catch it and you can eat it!! Of course there will be the world famous (here at AB) volley vonts, canopies and horses doovers. On the pudding trolley we have a white chocolate bread and butter pudding (made with croissants for that continental touch [i and white chocolate chips)
Queenie sends her regrets, she is away from home this weekend staying with friends, her father and I are glad of the peace and quiet ....... [i] cricket.... cricket... cricket [i]
The Minstrels are back in the gallery all ready to start with their customary madrigals and toccattas ... [i] one of these days I'm going to loosen the screws on that gallery ..... ] Down in the Ballroom we have engaged the services of a wandering DJ or mobile Disco for those members wishing to dance, boogie whatever (just keep it on the vertical guys ok?)
The indoor pool is ready and waiting for members wishing a swim, the hot tub is still keeping him company as is the mini bar. The library is available for members, we have a great selection of books, magazines and periodicals, I understand we have had the latest edition of "Needlepoint for Wheeltappers" delivered - a right riveting read I'll be bound! I'm delighted to say that Triffid in the conservatory "enjoyed" the company of the person wearing the green hat .... don't know who it was but if they can collect their green hat from Belle in the vestibule otherwise it will be put in the Lost property Cupboard. I have asked nicely, Do Not Feed the
Triffid [i
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

[i] Would members please refrain from throwing litter into the moat, it gives the piranhas indigestion, thank you ]


carriages at midnight

[tonyav]

Evening DT, am I right in sensing that you may have a bog problem ?.
Tony wipes face with a wet one !.

[DaisyNonna]

How about the dancing?

[nungate]

very suave and sufficated DT

I remember my mum having Tangee lippy Daisy

[tonyav]

You asking, Daisy ?.

[DTCwordfan]

A toilet is, the Castle centre of life.
To pee alone, is a god given right.

A toilet is, a place you can think.
It's easier than, to sit on the sink.
ask Tony[i

A toilet is, a friend to all drunks.
Supports you all night, when hurling up chunks.
[i] Now who can testify for this[i]

A toilet is, a place for your buns.
That you appreciate, when having the runs.

A toilet is, used by us all.
It's universal, to answer the call.
[i] Where in the Castle is it?]

A toilet is, just what it is.
It gets rid of our Mofc garbage , in a river of ***.

[tonyav]

Upset stomach then, DT ?.

[DaisyNonna]

Whenever you are ready Tony.

[decmangan]

Quizzes & puzzles?

[DTCwordfan]

Not at all Tony, in rude health post the bard's gout.

[nungate]

Is your last Ode from your "Tales of the Dunny" collection or from the "Selected Odes from Outback" ;-)

[DTCwordfan]

decmangan - the answer is yes - if you can identify the year that MoFC was created, then we'll stop. I warn you that it dates back to pre-Roman times apparently.

[DaisyNonna]

Understood the rude bit, have you tried immodium?

[DTCwordfan]

Down the Cornish Can by Johnny Betjermen

[nungate]

Decmangan, you seem puzzled?

The Mad Over Fifties Club is an AB tradition and it has long standing permission/tradition of being in Quizzes and Puzzles. It was the heading where it originated and has remained for many years

[tonyav]

Thank gawd for that then, DT, could cause a queue outside the castle conveniences.

I'm ready now, Daisy. Are you going to teach me ballroom dancing.

[nungate]

Must look that one up in my Betjeman anthology DT

[DaisyNonna]

My friend Boudicca would agree.

[DTCwordfan]

He's buried in a great church, right in middle of a beautiful links golf course, St Enedoc.

[DaisyNonna]

Shall we start with a waltz? 1 2 3 1 2 3. You lead (forwards) I follow (backwards)

[nungate]

Haven't been there DT but I have seen it on some documentary about him,
I love his poetry, the way he plays with words and that other word that I have trouble spelling - akin to "beat"
