Mad Over Fifties Club
120 Answers
Good evening and welcome to the Summer Solstice meeting of Mad Over Fifties.
First, my apologies for my absence last week owing to a migraine I was incapacitated. Also I'd like to give my thanks to Mrs Overall for providing a welcome alternative for members of MOFC and for welcoming the only slightly insane members of AB. (something has to be done for these poor souls)
Well, tonight at the Towers it's a case of anything goes! The mixologist has brewed up a vat full of Tailcock, he has decided to call it the "let's ignore the World Cup" so everybody roll up and fill your buckets. Igor is not at the door waiting for our guests this week, he his currently leading the ceremonies at the Summer Solstice gathering down by the lake so if anyone wants their coats, cloaks or broomsticks hidden they will have to do the hiding themselves!
In view of the solemnity of the lakeside proceedings, we ask members to refrain from peeking out of the windows on the lake side of the Towers and also not to venture lake wards tonight. Thank you.
There will be a running buffet tonight so anyone who can catch it please feel free to help themselves.
For anyone wishing to dance the night away, we have engaged the services of the Elastic Band, another local group of musicians who have agreed to stand in for the Tone Deafs who are providing music down at the lake...
As always we have the usual facilities for our members, the indoor pool, the beach, the gym etc., new members who are not aware of the facilities we have on offer can pick up a brochure in the vestibule where they will find a list of the facilities we offer at the Towers.
For the rofl tonight I offer:
dozen plastic plant pots, (empty)
1 Bosch washer dryer (goosed - but people keep knocking at my door asking what I'm going to do with it! ? It's waiting for a council pick up for heavens sake! Do they think I do laundry in the front yard?)
2 Freezers both defunct (that was a bad week!)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals this evening.
Members are again reminded to show respect and avoid the Lake
carriages at midnight

Should have had tone with me today, lifting bits of a 30 year old Dart catamaran around, so that the hulls could be bleached washed, some weird red corrosion. probably from the vegetation, being very resistant to the attack!
Good BBQ though.....
Riffle,
One rudder if not one udder
Three masts, not mobile aerials
Two jib sails - not big enough for sloopy
Four cleats
Three metres of triple twain rope
Two outdoor 'muck it and chuck it' buckets, well used
One rusted Ram with a bottle opener built in
One keel
One numpty in a canoe, no whores but one kayak oar.
One deflated life jacket, designed for drowning any 'beloveds'.
One RNLI sticker 'Boats float, don't swim in coats'
Three rolls of toilet paper, wet.
Now, Igor, a bucket of your finest.....

Sometime at the MoFC when the tailcock tide is low
I shall slip my moorings and sail away
With no response to a friendly hail
In the silent hush of the boozy pale
When the midsummer night stoops down to embrace the day
And then tony's pissed voice call in the water's flow
Sometime at the Lothian Eve when the water is low
I shall slip my moorings and sail away.
Through purple Igorish shadows
That darkly trail o'er the ebbing tide
And the Unknown Sloopy Sea,
And a ripple of nungate's waters' to tell the tale
Of a lonely voyager sailing away
To mystic asquith isles
Where at anchor lay
The laden craft of those who had sailed before
O'er the Unknown Alcoholic Skye Sea
To the Unknown Boozy MoFC Shore
A few, if tony and daisy are few, who watched me sail away
Will miss my craft from the busy Lothian bay
Some friendly Humber barges were anchored near
Some loving queenie souls my heart held dear
In silent sorrow will drop a curled tear
But I shall have peacefully furled my sail
In mooring sheltered from the trollish storm and gale
And greeted friends who had sailed before
O'er the Unknown Alcoholic Skye Sea
To the Unknown Boozy MoFC Shore
I shall slip my moorings and sail away
With no response to a friendly hail
In the silent hush of the boozy pale
When the midsummer night stoops down to embrace the day
And then tony's pissed voice call in the water's flow

Not too much Tony, just fill up a few containers, (he had a hint I bought plants this morning) and we have to stake a large bush that got damaged when a new fence was erected, I could take it out but it is rather nice and I'd like to try and save it. When I get it staked and then pruned it might be alright. Then of course there at pots to be rearranged, and.......
Mr. N does need a bit of supervision Tony, he tends to get bogged down in detail. He is very thorough in all that he does but it takes him a while to complete a task!
I was planning something of that ilk for next time Daisy, a beach party or something like that, if the weather remains this nice we wont have a summer ball indoors but a huge party on the beach, what do you think?
