Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers and the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Igor is at the main entrance waiting to collect your coats, cloaks and broomsticks for concealment in a variety of crooks and nannies around the Towers, known only to him members should note that al personal belongings are left at their own risk, we cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of the evening, though members might wish to check the lost property office for anything that has gone astray recently
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Daffy Dilly", nothing better for a "jaundiced" look at life!
Our hot plate special tonight comes in the form of a Chinese Banquet, all your favourite take out Chinese dishes are available for members to make their selections, so get your chopsticks ready...... keeping to our Chinese theme, on the pudding trolley we have apple and banana fritters, and ice cream. It would not be a true MOFC evening without the world famous volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers for tempt you...
As usual, the Minstrels are up in the Gallery in the Great Hall, preparing their customary selection of madrigals and toccattas for our delight and entertainment....................yeh right! For those members wishing to trip the light fantastic, down in the ballroom we have secured the services of the Bert Campfire big band complete with two of the Dagenham Lady Pipers, to ensure our evening goes with a swing!
The bungee is well secured on the topmost Tower ready for the most daring of members, and at the top of the North Tower you will find the hot tub and mini bar, on a clear day you can see forever! Again, the maze and gardens are open for members wishing an evening stroll, (the head gardener is particularly proud of his spring bulbs this year) the race track is at the ready and the cars all fuelled up and ready to go!
Within the confines of the Towers, our well stocked library is open for those members who prefer a quiet time, the indoor pool down in the dungeon is still missing his friend the hot tub and would welcome any member wishing a swim (we do have a selection of swim wear for members to use). Members should also note that if they enter the conservatory they are requested not to feed the triffid, as feeding it out of season can be annoying.
Since I forgot to make the draw for last weeks rofl the prizes have been held over until tonight, tickets can be had from Belle in the vestibule.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Jeza, was just leaving but lovely to see you here.
My broomstick, Eric will not mind staying a little longer and my cat Malkin loves new people.

[Igor61]

can I fetch some refreshment for Madame Jeza? There's still some of the tailcock and I spotted that there are still some dishes on the banquet table

[Jeza]

63 Tony and mad as a hatter. Even angry at times.

Had my first honeymoon in Paris Nungate 1970. I found it expensive to buy cheap if you know what I mean.

[Jeza]

Slow to type...sorry. I have a B&C but if you're offering I will have a top up.

[Jeza]

Daisy, I'm curious why do you call your cat Malkin?

[nungate]

It can be done on the cheap the Jeza, first I went there my friend and I had about £100 each for a week we managed rather well, I think the trick is to go "native" and we made our own entertainment - just sitting on the steps of the Opera people watching, fascinating! This was the 80's haven't been back there since Queenie was about 3 years old - I keep meaning to round up my friend (her Godmother) and we can take her to Paris and we could maybe relive some of our misspent youth!

[tonyav]

Jeza, you didn't have to give your exact age only I know you gals can be a bit vague on that lol.

[Igor61]

From your mouth to my ears Madame Jeza, one B&C coming up!

[DaisyNonna]

Excellent choice Tony, thanks.
Taking granddaughter to Paris for her 16th birthday Jeza. The best time to feel romance.

[tonyav]

we can take her to Paris and we could maybe relive some of our misspent youth!


Oi, nungate make sure that you give the French fair warning first !.

[nungate]

vague? Tony I haven't a clue, only this afternoon I had to ask Mr Nungate how old I am - certainly don't act the age he said, there again he's been waiting for me to grow up for more than 25 years, he'll have a long wait!

[nungate]

We don't need to alert them to the "oncoming storm" that is my daughter, we'll just surprise them! they should be used to my friend and I, well at least they were....

[tonyav]

Good gal, nungate, may you stay forever young.

[DaisyNonna]

Once had a beautiful cat called Greymalkin and my son swears I am a witch because I always seem to know what he is thinking. Always loved the Scottish play.

[tonyav]

Ah, the old take them by surprise trick, it always works, nungate.

[Jeza]

Tony, this time last year I looked and felt 40. Now I look and feel 80. I am 63 til September if I live that long.

Nun, It was a honeymoon, you don't do that on the cheap.

Igor, Thanks a large one please.

[tonyav]

How do mothers do that !, always seem to know what your thinking and be one step ahead ?.

[nungate]

ah, the Scottish play Daisy, I once took Mr N along to an RSC production starring Derek Jacobi in the title role and the so and so slept through it!
(philistine! - though I wasn't surprised he sleeps through just about everything - that's why I have custody of the remote!)

[tonyav]

Jeza, I can understand you feeling tired, but your doing a great job looking after Mic.

[nungate]

it's in the manual Tony, we all get one!


A honeymoon is an exception Jeza, I didn't really have one, we still talk about it but have never quite got around to it! Maybe someday, he was going to take me to Paris though, then we found our house and brought the wedding forward and the honeymoon sort of got missed..
