Mad over fifties club

[ladyalex]

Good evening everyone, the club is now open.

It is still rather chilly, so come in close to the fire and have some sherry.
No doubt there will be tailcocks and nibbles later .

Tonight's talk will be on 'Maoris I have known'

[boxtops]

...and there's me with the gravy muffler, no chance of getting Max Clifford to be my agent now, friends with the rugby team or not.... (I made that bit up)

[Meg]

Duck!!! He's inside now!!! Mi'lady please control him.

[bookbinder]

Er - I think I must have nodded off or something. Journo? Oh, dear me, no, nothing like that. Actually, I just came in to use the toilet. Sorry.

[ladyalex]

Lordalex. Lordalex, do calm down.
No No No. LORDALEX.

Excuse me everyone, I've got to go after him.

[ladyalex]

Look out bookbinder.....get behind something.
he's totally out of control tonight.

I'll get the big cloak and throw it over him. All be ready to help so we can get him back to his study .

[Meg]

Bookbinder, you came to use the toilet, did you not slip? Watch out for the croc in there.

[ladyalex]

oh no, not the old problem with the bathroom facilities again......

[boxtops]

Oh milady you've cloaked the kangaroo, lordalex has run up the stairs cackling maniacally.

[ladyalex]

I'm after him.

[bookbinder]

Oh, is that what it was? I was beginning to enjoy it.

[ladyalex]

You're enjoying hiding from lordalex with his shotgun ?
You are Definitely a shoo-in for membership.

[Meg]

George has been cloaked, god forbid.

[bookbinder]

No, no, the croc in the toilet. Although that with milord sounds less painful.

[ladyalex]

I've got him! Got the shotgun off him too.

I managed to lock him in the upper lesser drawing room. He can't do much damage ther and I'll go up later with his meds.

Phew. I'm getting too old for this.

[boxtops]

No bookbinder, it was kanga - in the dark a sitting-up kanga looks a lot like his ludship taking aim, I can understand the mistake. George is OK though miss meg, he boxed his way out of it and he's just partaking of a tailcock, I am not sure if that is OK for a 'roo..

[ladyalex]

Can we send out for chips now ?
I'm starving after all this chasing about.
I'll have a very large tailcock too.

[bookbinder]

Er - well, it's all been - er - lovely. Yes, lovely. But I really ought to be getting along. Mother will be worried. Erm - is this the way out? Thank you, so much. Another time, perhaps? I hope you catch him. 'Night all.

[lardhelmet]

Strewth - it's all happening in here tonight isn't it? Is it always this exciting? And I won something in the raffle - woohoo!

[Meg]

Totally confused, has his lordship been restrained, are the guns back in the cabinet, where is mamya when I need my meds, met some nice newcomers here tonight but I fear the my be that rabble from the bewildered lot incognito. What do we do with George?

[boxtops]

Milady and all, I have to bid farewell so I hope I don't miss too much - the white van is at the door and they won't wait much longer for me. Please say goodbye to the All Blacks for me, I am sorry I missed their talk - perhaps next time. I will try to remember my knitting bag for next week (with a bit of luck I can slip a salami into it for our supper). Tata!
