Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers, time for AB's Mad Over Fifties to meet for an evening of culture and reflection or failing that the usual mayhem and madness which usually takes place on these evenings.
Igor is lurking at the main entrance waiting for the arrival of our guests so he can help them out of their coats, cloaks and broomsticks in order for their concealment in the variety of crooks and nannies he has found around the Towers members are advised that their items are left at their own risk and the management cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of the evening
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Eurovision" an international sort of brew, yet interesting..........
Our Hot Plate Specials Tonight have a truly international theme, we have Paella, Sauerkraut, Spaghetti, Fondue, and pickled herrings.....of course there will also volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers. On the pudding trolley, we have Tiramisu, Danish pastries, Crema Catalana, and Gateau St Honore (I have just gained 10lbs just typing that!)
For our entertainment tonight we have engaged the services of our favourite local band the Tone Deafs who will be performing the greatest hits of Eurovision, and we have also decided to have a Karaoke evening, it's going to be busy down in the Ballroom tonight! Yet again the Minstrels have found a way in, and are setting up in the Gallery in the Great Hall ready with their usual selection of madrigals and toccattas................spare us..........please!
For members not wishing to indulge in any musical interlude, we have an interesting variety of amenities for our members, from the indoor pool down in the dungeon, (swimwear is available for members who didn't bring any - skinny dippy is frowned upon - indoor pool does not approve! On the topmost Tower, members will find the bungee, all ready and waiting for bouncing, just be careful not to land in the moat, the piranhas bite! On the North Tower we have the hot tub just bubbling away, nearby his friend the mini bar, (suitably replenished from last meeting) is waiting. Members are welcome to wander in the extensive grounds of the Towers, and they can also access the beach, though bathing is not recommended as the water is too cold at the moment. Also outdoors, there is a race track and cars ready for racing and the rowing boats are again available for rowing out on the lake. Back indoors, members can also use our library, gym and the conservatory (though members are reminded not to feed the Triffid its not due another feed until midsummer)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

[DTCwordfan]

Time for the sack from here, night all.......and thanks to our gorgeous, pouting beauties (and Igor and the team) who outshine any of those Eurovision belles, inc the gal with the beard - only in Austria, I tell you, the result of genetically crossing a Liechtensteiner with a Swiss mountain goat, or even a yeti.

[DaisyNonna]

Lekker slaap DT.

[nungate]

DT you flatterer you! I do not pout (I leave that to Queenie but we'll accept the compliment)

Good night ad better luck with the sump etc.

[DaisyNonna]

Do you need to be 8 or wear lipstick to pout?

[nungate]

Not sure Daisy, but Queenie uses Clear pout lip gloss by Avon which is why I said she could pout - I wouldn't know how to pout. In fact I was only saying to Queenie a few minutes ago that the bearded lady who won the song contest was more feminine that I am - not that I would say I was butch I'm just not all that girly, I never have been

[DaisyNonna]

Girly? You are communicating with the person whose mother dressed her in a PINK satin dress HANDSMOCKED from Peter Pan collar and puffed sleeves to waist to go to a PARTY. Spilled orange juice all down the front of it before I was due to leave. Nothing else to wear. RESULT.

[nungate]

a girl after my own heart! Was never into frills and furbelows either, only had one lacy frilly dress, to wear to an outdoor thing and it rained wore jeans one happy girl! Never ever wore that dress!

[DaisyNonna]

Mum wanted a doll to dress.
Dad wanted a mate to enjoy sport.
I wanted to read!

[nungate]

I was daddy's little helper/girl - though he did like little girls to be girly but he got the message that it t wasn't me, and we moved on, watched the footie helped with joinery - I wanted to do woodwork at school but they wouldn't allow it. Not surewhat my mum wanted but brother was favoured child where she was concerned - I wasn't bothered I lived on planet Nungate where everyone knew me and I was happy as the proverbial

[DaisyNonna]

Went to an all girls school. As well as the academic stuff we had Cookery, Needlework and Laundry! Was a wow with a bluebag.
At home would throw a tantrum so I would be sent to my room and could read in peace.

[DaisyNonna]

Forgot to say. Only child.

[nungate]

one sibling - pain my proverbial! spent a fair bit of time reading as well.
My mum worked so I did a lot of the chores once I was old enough, stood me in good stead I suppose. My mum was liberated before it became fashionable - I don't think she liked having kids or a house to look after

[Igor61]

Madame, the staff have assembled and await your orders

[nungate]

Thank you Igor, I'll let you know

[DaisyNonna]

Mum met dad when she was 17, he was a soldier , 25. Sent to Egypt in WW11. Away 5 years. Engaged by post. Married by special licence on his return. No real time or place for anyone else. Maybe why am a loner?
Night night.

[nungate]

They started out vey young Daisy, makes me feel positively ancient I was almost 30 when I finally decided to let Mr N marry me

Well time for bed then, well as soon as himself gets back from work.
Good night then Daisy, see you in the funny papers

Igor, set the staff loose I shall be in my chambers

Good night all

Igor
