Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.
Welcome, one and all.

How wonderful it is to be back amongst you all.

All members will be pleased to note that The Committee will be meeting next week to consider the important matter of subscriptions. In these times of economic downturn, it may be necessary to make a small...er...substantial increase.
Staff wages will also be under consideration and new posts are always available to suitably qualified applicants.
Usual terms and conditions apply. (See Mamyalynne for details).

I am very hopeful that one of our members will be carrying on the now-established tradition of giving us a talk on their specialist subject...come on now, I know that there are many talented members out there, bursting with knowledge of knitting socks and turning heels, crotcheting toilet roll covers, origami through the bamboos, the history of the apostrophe from medieval times and many other topics of interest to us all.
Again, usual terms and condition apply, the box for the speaker's fee is on the hall table. (Large denomination notes only, please.)

[ladyalex]

Well, someone had to show it the compassion that was so sadly lacking in alexanderd.

[ladyalex]

Please, please don't get people started about stripping.

[Mamyalynne]

I did no think it was a seabee, thought it was an earthly one?

[ladyalex]

Perhaps we should ask Prudentia...she is our spiritual adviser.

[alexanderd]

Now I am hurt I have had that bee since it was a baby. I was keeping a stiff upper lip not showing a lack of compassion

[ladyalex]

Sorry, alexanderd......didn't know that it was so old.

If you had it from childhood, you'll know if it was a Seabee or an Earthlybee

[Meg]

It's gone now, just get over it. Too late to stick it in an aircraft.

[ladyalex]

So true, Miss Meg, so true.

Man up, alexanderd.

[Meg]

When it performs give it a cuddle and a kiss say "good camel" and gradually move the paper out doors.

I feel people are being a bit harsh on Alex, the poor man is probably gutted after losing a life long pet.

[Mamyalynne]

Yes we could sing I'll beeee seeing you in all the old familiar.........

[ladyalex]

I must say you give a good talk, Miss Meg......yawn, yawn....

[anneasquith]

[Meg]

You're obviously to au fait with camel training M'lady. S ure some other members are still awake.

Well maybe not!!

[alexanderd]

I am still stung

[DaisyNonna]

Of course, it was a late spelling bee called Ethelred. Perhaps a Viking funeral.

[ladyalex]

Where is Ena tonight ?and Gran ?
They haven't had to move in with that lot next door, have they ?

[ladyalex]

Would you like me to rub something on it, alexanderd ?

Or shall we send for Matron ?

Vinegar for bees and baking soda for wasps, is it ? or is it the other way round ?
Matron ! we need assistance here.

[DaisyNonna]

wasps- raw onion

[Meg]

God forbid, they're not that daft yet.
Lovely to meet you daisy, raw onion is better on a burger.

[alexanderd]

well since Matron isnt coming to my assistance I shall suffer in silence
