Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

The Committee has decided to re-instate the raffle this week.

Prizes so far include :
A tin of sardines, sell by date illegible
4 reels of black cotton
Half a box of chocolates (Hard centres only)

As we have not had a demonstration for some time, perhaps we can prevail upon one of our members to give us an illustrated talk on the subject of their choice ?
The Committee is aware that many members are very talented and in these straitened times we must make our own entertainments.

Members will also be glad to know that the oubliette has been cleared and cleaned, ready for .....

Hi Ena like the new hairnet suits your colouring, dont worry Matron I am immune to eye-fluttering (cant see that far )
I have some raffle prizes, a toasting fork
a cheese grater
a garlic crusher
If nobody wins them they can go in the dungeon till needed

[ttfn]

Please don't mention the word 'd-u-n-g-e-o-n' in my hearing ever again. <shudders>

[slinky.kate]

[slinky.kate]

hey askyourgran,how did you get the teeth out,were you sucking the toffee,c'mom,admit it???

[alexanderd]

Why is gran sat in the corner muttering to herself while noboby takes any notice?

[ttfn]

I am waiting for gran to get to the heel-turning bit alex. No problem for gran though, her glass is magically topping itself up.

[slinky.kate]

cause the treacle toffee has stuck to her gums

[askyourgran]

Hate to see toffee wasted,............ the wonders of plain and purl can be seen in the pyramids, if you noticed when the tomb of King Tut was opened underneath all those bandages he was wearing knitted underwear, and the wallpaintings show queen neferttittes knitting soft toys.........................drone...........
.........drone.

Think I need a drink what is on offer tonight mamya.

[Mamyalynne]

I bet she has dropped a few stitches in her time, and toffee in her wool.

[society]

Gran mouth is to full of toffee to speak.

[Mamyalynne]

Have just taken some jacket spuds out of the Aga, and have a vast array of toppings. help yourselves
