Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for the latest meeting of Mad Over Fifties Club. Igor is at the door eagerly awaiting tonights arrivals so that he can gather up their coats, cloaks a broomsticks for concealment around the Towers, members should note that all items left for concealment are left at their own risk and we cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of our revels
Tonights Tailcock will be the "Dyspeptic Daiquiri", shall we say it's an "interesting brew" not to mention colourful!
Our hot plate special tonight is roast chicken with all the trimmings! For those who might prefer something lighter, we have a selection of volly vonts
horses doovers and canopies. On the pudding trolley, we have a special request by Queenofmean for an Ice Cream Gateau, layers of different flavours of ice cream, swathed in whipped cream and topped with a selection of fresh fruit.
We are pleased to announce the return of the bungee to the topmost tower
and the hot tub is also back in his rightful place atop the North Tower, and of course his best friend the Mini bar has returned there too (fully stocked)
(sadly the indoor pool is bereft now his friends have relocated from the dungeon) Now that the lighter evenings have returned we are delighted to say that the gardens and the maze are also open for members use. Rowing boats will be available in a few weeks for rowing on the lake, and the racetrack has had new floodlights for night time driving and the cars are all ready for racing!
Our indoor entertainment comes in the shape of our Minstrels who are tuning up in the gallery of the Great Hall getting ready to serve up their usual selection of madrigals and toccattas. In the Ball Room, we have engaged the services of the Tone Deafs a selection of Eighties Hits. As always our indoor facilities are available to all members, as it will be a few weeks before we can use the outdoor pool, members are reminded that the indoor pool is ready for use (swimsuits are available) I would urge members to give it a try, he's feeling very low since his friends have returned to the North Tower.
Our well stocked library has all the latest magazines and periodicals, including the latest edition of Quantum Physics for Midwives. Members must remember not to feed the Triffid if they visit the conservatory, its next feed is due at Easter. (would the owner of the green hat found at the feet of the triffid please collect it from Lost Property) I am happy to say that owing to members good behaviour in not throwing litter into the moat, the piranhas have recovered from their bout of indigestion (the pepto bismol was turning the water pink!)
Please hand all contributions for the rofl to Belle in the vestibule)
For tonights rofl I offer:
- Pack of needles (rusty and blunt)
- tangle of embroidery threads
- half finished cross stitch picture (chart lost)

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Enjoyed that one. Play Dead is the next one I intend to read. Think it is about time I restocked Oxfam.
Cheer up Sir Alec? Let me see, my Brunhilde was fond of bending metal bars or banging metal bars on the anvil (she was very popular down at the Smithy)
Madame, spends time with her needles making pictures from threads, maybe not, Queenie likes to spend time watching motorcycles going round in circles (they have no brakes) I would suggest a walf around the maze but it's dark outside now, Oh chocolate, everybody likes chocolate, we could break into Mammars chocolate store, she hasn't been here for a while and maybe her chocolate store could be getting near it's use by date so it will need checking anyway anything like that?

silver spoon in the wrong place Sir Alec, to quote the late Kenneth Williams
"mm nice" (Round the Horne)
Never mind Sir A, look on the bright side I'll give you a lift home on my windsurfing board.
Tony, if you have forgiven me could you please put on Mamya's thread something by Frankie Lyman and the teenagers? My cousin who died in Canada last week loved their music and it would be a happy way to remember her.
Will do, Daisy.
It's okay, Igor. I shall go on ebay tomorrow and look for something Guinnessy for my collection. I haven't been on for ages.
I'm not one for chocolate much, but thanks for the offer.
I don't know how they got away with all that stuff on Round the Horne, nungate. 'It's an old Navajo trick!'
Sorry to hear that about your cousin, Daisy.
Sir A, thank goodness I am not the only non-chocaholic. Fancy some marmite toast?
Question Author
Seriously though Sir Alec you really should go back to your doc about those pills those side effects seem pretty strong - it could be that the dosage needs adjusting or a different combination of pills, you shouldn't be suffering like this
Question Author
I love all the Round the Horne stuff, one of my best Christmas gifts ever was some cds of the radio shows from my husband, wasn't the most expensive gift he bought me that year but in my book it was my favourite
Thanks Tony. Went to stay with her many years ago after she had emigrated and got married. Another ridiculous story of my life!
Thank you Daisy, I love Marmite!

Can you believe I'm on the lowest dose, nungate. They are 25mg and go all the way up to 300mg according to the leaflet. I'll bet any money that increasing the dose is exactly what they have in mind for me, since this dosage is not working.
Question Author
tell them about the side effects, and how bad they make you feel. I had to go through a few painkillers before I found one that suited me - and it was the same drug just a different brand and the side effects were much less troublesome, then they changed me onto something else because of a heart scare and these ones aren't quite as effective as painkillers, though they did change the dosage on my gout tablets which has helped
Because they are fools Tony? Thanks.
Sir A, should I bring some Twiglets next week?
I've tried a lot of painkillers, nungate. They got stronger and stronger until I ended up on Duragesic patches. The idiots forgot to send me my prescription once and I had appalling withdrawal symptoms. I was behaving like a junkie, shaking and pacing, couldn't lie down or I got severe restless legs and couldn't sleep at all. It was vile!
This is a new one on me though.
Sir A, the doc will sort the dosage out I'm sure.
Hey Daisy, I have cousins in Canada ( don't think their ridiculous, all though they might be I haven't seen them for a few years now ).
YUK, Marmite is the food of the devil !.
