Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

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

queenie, it will make my evening complete if you do me the honour of joining me in here

[nungate]

I just got that pop on the grill one - nice one Queenie! might get a little warm for him though

[BigMac]

Tired and aching, a tailcock wold be most welcome - as would the roast chicken; can I have dark and white meat, please?

For the rifle: one view of Bamburgh Castle (clearly seen behind the fog); the sand from my sand shoe; a stottie (used); and a bottle of Newcastle Broon Ale (empty).

[queenofmean]

[DaisyNonna]

[excelsior-1]

[tonyav]

Evening BigMac, very interesting riffle prizes there.

[Igor61]

Well Mr, Mac Sir, I have your refreshments, if you are suffering with back trouble I could ask Nanny to slip on her high heels and run up and down your spine

how did you dream that one up, Queenie ?, not pregnant are you.

[DaisyNonna]

Hi Big Mac. Hope I win the view of the castle. Love the coast there.

[excelsior-1]

the dinner and drink were nice, thank you

the ice cream gateux was delicious (any more of it available?)

[BigMac]

Thank you, Igor - that would be most welcome; but just the heels, not the cleats this time (readers seeking further information should study the works of Tom Lehrer)

[Sir Alec]

I already have my high-heeled sneakers on, Igor. I would be honoured!

[excelsior-1]

hello BigMac

forgive my ignorance - what's a stottie?

[nungate]

Giant chocolate buttons from the fridge has been a favourite of hers for years Tony, I don't know where she dreamed that one up - but we are into weird combinations - my own preference is for cream cheese and apricot conserve on wholemeal bread

[tonyav]

Oh gawd, she's got the stilettos on again !

[queenofmean]

i'm not pregnant Tony. It happened at the After School Café...I bought a bag of buttons and 2 slices of toast and just tossed them on the toast....god it was good....I have it down to a fine art now!

I can bring some cake up...it was massive!!

[tonyav]

my own preference is for cream cheese and apricot conserve on wholemeal bread


Actually that sounds quite nice, nungate.

[DTCwordfan]

Night all - am crashing here - I would have been more awake if Southampton could have destroyed Man City but, alas, not to be.

Thanks to our hostesses, Igor and all the rest of the team, and of course the renegades!
