Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

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

Hi ningate. A bucket of Let's sounds like a good idea. Is the ladle next to the vat? Or is it in a barrel?
Have hidden saucer and Eric (whispered where to Malkin, just in case) and tucked Malkin in the Snug, with Hebe.
For the rifle I have 10" by 12" blue bubble wrap. Completely unpopped!
3 sheets of Christmas wrapping paper.
1 sheet of flowery wrapping paper
1/2 roll of double-sided sticky tape.

[DaisyNonna]

Apologies Nungate!

[nungate]

Forgiven Daisy,......dibs on the bubble wrap!
How are you today? I'm feeling a bit bleaaarrgh just now but I expect it will pass soon. Bit warm in here.

[tonyav]

Evening your nungateship, glad your back to normal ! after last weeks incapacitation. Why aren't we allowed down to the lake ( I wanna know what were missing ? ).
Elastic band, their pretty good almost as good as the Rubber band.
Anyhoo, for the roffle I have one half bar of Meguiars car detailing clay ( used ) and one bottle of T cut ( empty ) and one tub of Carnauba car wax ( almost empty ) and six micro cloth wipers ( need washing ).
Seeing as Igor is otherwise engaged shall I help myself to a bucket of tailcock ?.

[DaisyNonna]

Loving being warm but did get rather tired walking back from shopping.
Need to walk or I get cramp at night.
Spent an hour reading in the garden then got back to stitching. Counting in my sleep, no sheep!

[tonyav]

Evening Daisy, Had a slight problem with Indie on my way up here tonight, he kept trying to fly into the sun !, do you think that he knows that it's the summer soltice ?.

[DaisyNonna]

Hi Tony, sounds interesting...... What do you do with what?

[tonyav]

T cut to remove any slight scratches, you rub the detailing clay all over the paint work that makes it ultra smooth and then wax it using the Carnauba wax ( expensive high quality car wax, makes the car very shiny ).

[DaisyNonna]

He's like me Tony, really doesn't like the dark. You are lucky Indie did not detour via Stonehenge, he loves it there. He did go alone one year and I grounded him for a month. Yes, he knows all the solstices and equinoxes. He did really well at Broom school.

[nungate]

Evening Tony, sorry for the delay, had to pop out for a moment, plant watering supervision you know.
We are not permitted to see what's happening at the lake, shall we say that there may be dire consequences if we venture there without an invitation. I prefer to have little of no knowledge of Igor's practice's outwith the walls of the Towers.....
It's a come and help yourself evening, very informal, just feel free to make free, just don't go down to the lake....

[tonyav]

Ah, that explains Inca's behavior, Daisy thanks. Is there anything I should look out for when it's the winter solstice ?.

[nungate]

Goodies for the rofl Tony, but useless to either me of Mr. N as he has a phobia about washing his car ...... therefore no need to wax etc. We just plant something in the dirt! I did ask at the garage where we bought this one if they had a dirt coloured car but they were out of stock, shame really

[tonyav]

I was on watering duty a little earlier, nungate. Mrs av said use the watering can however I found that using the hose pipe was a lot quicker ( and the dog loved it ! ).

[DaisyNonna]

Just keep him away from fires, candles and matches. Treat him to some headlamps.

[tonyav]

Ohhhh, that lovely dirt colour really suits Land Rovers imo, nungate.

[tonyav]

Got the headlamps sorted, Daisy. Got some Cibie spot lights that I took of a 1970 Ford Escort Mexico rally car, I think he'll like those.

[nungate]

Very sensible suggestion of head lamps Daisy. I think Mr. N would be glad to be able to use our hose for watering but when we turn on the tap water splutters everywhere! We can only use it to fill the watering can if it trickles out! So her pops in and out of the kitchen - we have a lot of containers and tubs to water! (more on the way...... ssshhh don't tell him

[DaisyNonna]

Watered copiously last evening, too tired tonight, slosh it around tomorrow. Watering can gets awfully heavy. Water butt too ancient to attach hose pipe and it takes forever to fit the hosepipe to the bath tap, snake it down the stairs and into the garden.

[DaisyNonna]

Good call Tony.

[nungate]

Hate to say it Daisy, but you need staff! I have staff, or minions it depends on how they behave!
