Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers for tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Igor is at the main entrance, eagerly waiting for members to arrive so he may relieve them of their coats, cloaks and broomsticks ready for their concealment in a variety of places throughout the Towers known only to himself (members are reminded that their items are left at their own risk and the management cannot guarantee their safe retrieval at the end of our revels)
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Black Cloud" as I am currently under one my team having thrown away their chance of a title this season. Roll on season 2014/15 and better things!
Our Hot Plate Special Tonight will be roast chicken with all the usual trimmings, of course there will also be our world famous volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers. On the pudding trolley tonight we have Lemon Meringue pie, with strawberries fresh from our very own green houses, and whipped cream.
Members are welcome to try any and all of the facilities here at the Towers.
The indoor pool in the dungeons awaits his first swimmers (we have swimsuits available for those who didn't bring one with them, indoor pool doesn't approve of skinny dipping) The bungee is ready, with new elastics atop the highest Tower, (beware of the piranhas in the moat) and on the North Tower you will find the hot tub and mini bar. Members are welcome to wander the grounds and gardens, and by the lake the rowing boats are ready for use, as is the race track, race cars are also prepared ready for members wishing to try their hand at racing. Indoors we have usual treats. Playing in the Ballroom tonight are Alf Rodrigues and his Latin Banditos, for members who might fancy tripping the light fantastic, later on we may have some karaoke. Yet again the Minstrels have managed to circumvent the security measures and are setting up to give us the usual fare of madrigals and toccattas! how are they managing to get in?
Members are requested not to feed the Triffid in the conservatory, but we have left out some fruit etc. for the spider monkey who may come down to be fed by hand. This and many other treats are available to members. Why not have a stroll down to the stables and meet the Llamas, alpacas and Spot the Zebra? We also have nice little herd of goats who were left with us for a brief spell but who are still with us and have multiplied! We're keeping the babies!

for the rofl tonight I offer:
a back four defence with more holes in it than my kitchen sieve
a referee in need of a guide dog (there's no way that goal was offside!)
and a
very large boot for booting the backsides of players who are in need of a good boot up the proverbial!

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals though if anyone from A Madrid looks near, the cannons have been loaded

Thank you polar bear, I shall take the upmost care with your berg.
Yeah, the looping of the loop was great fun, nungate had to hang on tight though.

[nungate]

Oh Daisy, I forgot I got that new Quintin Jardine book last week read it in a day - very interesting I think you'll enjoy it, especially if you have read all the previous ones as parts of it hark back to the earlier books

[nungate]

no seatbelts Tony?

[tonyav]

In or out, DT, depends on her mood I think lol.

Question Author
no seatbelts Tony?


No nungate, I must have a word with Daisy about that.

[stewey]

Now I know what Tilly meant when she mentioned "confusing" in my thread. It didn't hit me that I'd used the same title as this regular get-together. So now, your Nungateship, I shall slink across the field and down a wobbly-pop or five...Cheers.

[DaisyNonna]

Will order it tomorrow nun. Thanks.

[polar-bear]

It is a brand new dark blue berg, my old black berg is going to a relative so I shall see it often. I am looking forward to one of my favourite pastimes; drifting out into the channel and frightening the shipping.

[nungate]

No worries Stewey, not a problem honestly! Just take care on the way back across that field when you may be a bit wobbly pops after imbibing the wobbly pops ....................?

[DTCwordfan]

enjoy your crate of Molsons, stewey....that's what we would plough through before a Canadiens game in Montreal....

[DaisyNonna]

Not mandatory Tony but I know of a good broom fitter if you would prefer.

[nungate]

that sounds like a fun thing to do PB, scaring the shipping, don't suppose you'd fancy scaring the ships in the Forth would you, I could join you then..

[tonyav]

Have a gud un then, stewey.



Ohhhh, a dark Blue berg, there always a GT model.

[DaisyNonna]

Do be careful pb, believe it is very congested.

[tonyav]

Thanks Daisy, yes I would prefer a seat belt, my knees are killing me from hanging on to indie.

[DaisyNonna]

Be great if you could join us occasionally stewey.

[polar-bear]

I know the Forth well. My mum was born in Rosyth.

[nungate]

there's always something in the Forth to scare PB and less congested than the channel ....

[nungate]

Rosyth eh PB? You do know that there is a whacking great carrier being assembled there, be good for a bit of scaring don't you think? Just to keep them on their toes like...........

[DTCwordfan]

Most of Polar's iceberg is under the sea
that's how it always has been for he
if Tony was to fall in the ocean and dive
one look he would say "Man alive..."
"What a load of mucky ice."
He thought the iceberg was Forth right
sweet and nice.
But now he feels it fair to say
"we think he ought to melt away.."
