Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

Good evening all.

It has come to the attention of the Committee that the electricity bills for these premises have increased to enormous proportions. They are now electricity williams.
Consquently, they have asked that members ensure that all windows and doors are closed to prevent draughts and that all unnecessary lights are switched off.

Candles have been provided in various convenient locations, but members must provide their own matches.

The chimenea is no longer in use. Those wishing ciggy breaks must make their own arrangements with coals, shovels etc.

Tonight's raffle prizes, appropriately, include

a fleecy blanket (some dog hairs)
a hot water bottle cover (pink, knitted only one hole)
half a pair of blue bed socks
half a pair of orange bed socks

Any further prizes will be gratefully received.

You have to give a PowerPoint presentation on Catflaps poodi1 before we decide if you're impostering(?) or not

[ladyalex]

If you speak like that about members then you may have heard correctly........

[ladyalex]

Calm down please.

I thikn tonight's talk is going to be on 'Good manners'.

[boxtops]

that's poodicat1 milady, not our usual poodicat.

[Mamyalynne]

Shall we unleash the menagerie to rid us of intruders, shall I break out the tin hats??

[ladyalex]

I think we'd better protect ourselves from this unseemly outbreak of hostilities.


Inyour own time, Mamya, Let slip Humph and Ellie....

[Lardhelmet_2]

I've got some fat balls I was going to put out for the birds - we could lob them over the ramparts or flying buttresses

[ladyalex]

Excellent, lardhelmet

Perhaps we could all help Mamya to make up a vat of porridge to pour over too ?

[Mamyalynne]

I think we require stronger ammo, maybe the boiling oil, like the good old days??

[Prudentia]

....so sorry I'm late just caught my heel in the leg of my knickers and fell over, frenchies may be known as 'easy feelers' but they are very comfortable, both Marjorie and I wear nothing else, sorry, just to put the record straight we do wear daywear!! Prudentia xxx

[ladyalex]

I was improvising with the porridge...plus we've got quite a lot of that ....stuff up on the catering front, lordalex made the breakfast today.

[ladyalex]

Welcome, Prudentia...are you quite recovered now ?
A fall like that can be nasty......

[Mamyalynne]

Hi Pru, can't beat a camiknicker.

Milady we can start with the porridge then.

Good evening all, my apologies for being tardy. I have a p/t security job and will be with you all asap. Beware the ides of march and any bugger with a number after their name. See you soon ♥

[ladyalex]

How lovely to see you Ena.
Glad to hear you are in gainful employment.

I think we are already aware of the dangerous strangers around, but thanks for the warning anyway.

[ladyalex]

Sorry, I meant lovely to hear from you.....that mulled wine packs a kick!

[Lardhelmet_2]

But now I've got a number after my name & I really am the original lardhelmet. I explained my circumstances last week. Am I under suspicion too? (gasp, gasp)
