Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

Good Evening, all, the Club is now open.

Tailcocks and nibbles will no doubt be arriving soon.

As Easter approaches, our talk this evening will be on "Eggs ?"

Madame Esmeralda has returned this week . She had to cancel her engagement in Ecclefechan due to unforeseen circumstances, so will be setting up her tent in the outer courtyard.
Members are asked to reward her as they see fit. She says that the fees go to charity.

[boxtops]

If you haven't got menthol, then I'll nip up (with permission) and pinch a bit of Tiger Balm off his sir-ship, please - not so much chest as nose, milady...

[ladyalex]

Hello fordward, how nice of you to call. Is this your first visit ?

I'm sure we can rely on you to keep us right about falling forwards and springing backwards....

[boxtops]

Thank you milady, I switched off the hall light as I came in, I am all for do my tiny bit to save the world. Mind you a bigger light in the courtyard would have helped me to see Madame E, is mamya back yet from ministering to her, I was afraid that the tent catching fire from her artistic mystery candles might have caused Madame E some damage.

[ladyalex]

You are welcome to as much Tiger Balm as you can carry, Boxtops.

Evil smelling stuff...or perhaps it is not the balm ......

Anyway, very sorry to hear about your nose.
Did you see that fordward has warned us about changing our clocks ? He says we have to do it now .
Can I ask you to help me ? we have a clock in nearly every room , so it takes a while to fix them all.

[ladyalex]

Is there a fire ?
Has Mamya called the fireboys out again ?
Oh no, that's the licence gone this time.
Pour me another tailcock, I'm going into a decline.

[boxtops]

Bags I not do the one in the turret, at least not until the lights have come back on. Do we not have a tame horologist on the team? I beleive at Windsor Castle there is someone solely dedicated to this job - perhaps QE2 would lend him to us when he's finished there?

[petal54]

had therapy for my hight of fear,so will do the clock towers,as on my way to get chish & fips

[ladyalex]

I can't help, I've declined

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry just sorted Mea and have made some jammy doughnuts and have made up a tray od creme de menthe tailcocks to help with suidollps and blocked doses

[Meg]

I think QE2 is docked in New |York at present. They have a different time system.

[fordward]

well ladyalex im not stealing your holes , havent had one for ages!!

[boxtops]

mamya, you are a gem. Slurp. Ah, Bisto!

[ladyalex]

Oh no...I've declined even further...no one seems to know the time now and Miss Meg says that the Americans have a different system. I cannot cope.....

[ladyalex]

That's plenty, fordward.
I'm in a decline, you know.

[boxtops]

Milady have a tailcock, I can pour it through a funnel for you if you are too weak to lift the glass. These are stonking strong this week, one slurp will revive you!

[ladyalex]

Thank you , boxtops.
I'll try to swallow a little, but I'm not sure.....

[fordward]

shall sit here in the dark with my Mcallans

[Mamyalynne]

What time is it am all confused ?? Does esmerelda know do you think? I will have another drink and worry later.

Has someone lost some holes I tripped over one on the lawn earlier

[boxtops]

The holes are for the raffle mamya. Black ones are particularly sought after.

[Meg]

Are you sure the holes are not the moles. Esmerelda says it's 3.30 in Ecclefechan.
