Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

Good Evening and Welcome to all our members and to any other waifs and strays that care to grace our clubhouse.
It is a miserable night out, as the poet says:

No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease,
No comfortable feel in any member--
No shade, no shine, no butterflies, no bees,
No fruits, no flowers, no leaves, no birds,
November!

But we shall be warm and cosy inside with our drinks and nibbles .

Any members wishing to volunteer to give tonight's talk should make themselves known.

Don't start milady 'we' have not been well you know!

Has the riff raff been drawn yet?

[ladyalex]

hello docspock, a welcome visitor.
Are you a full member, or has someone signed you in because of your skill with the words ?
Do you also do Dangerous Dan McGrew ?

[ladyalex]

Sorry to hear you've been out of sorts, Ena.....any better yet ?

[Mamyalynne]

There is always tossing on the crossing but think that is best left alone for such genteel company.

[anneasquith]

ttfn, chest again?

[ladyalex]

Careful, we'll be on to Barnacle Bill next....

[ttfn]

Hello alexander my dear - my moving parts are kindly brought to you tonight thanks to WD40 and Damp Start. Milady I am beginning to think I am better than my IT equipment - so now you know how lucky indeed you are to have my company. Matron - are you really cooking pancakes for me - my favourite - keep 'em thin though please

[Mamyalynne]

Well yes pancakes are another of my specialities, I believe gary has a keen interest in sausages.

[ttfn]

Hello anne - no my chest is fine tonight ta muchly. My problems are more electronically challenging I am afraid but I hope I can last a little longer. Are you well?

[anneasquith]

usual grumpy self. thanks ttfn.

[ladyalex]

Impressed by 52 verses, Doc. Hats off!

Annesquiffy I refuse to believe that you are grumpy...squiffy , but not grumpy...

[ttfn]

I don't believe you anne. Have a little tailcock and you will be as cheery as milady is when she wins the riff raff <ahem>

[ladyalex]

no riff raff here, Ena
I snare them with your hairnet.

Anyone seen askyourgran tonight ?

[anneasquith]

is there any chance that ladyalex will NOT win the ruffle again tonight ?

[ttfn]

Does the sun shine at night ? Exactly!

[ladyalex]

I am rising above this discussion as otherwise I might go into a decline again.


Raffle winning is a skill
When you win it it is brill
Envy is an awful curse
I'm glad I don't suffer from it as I'd have to go into blank verse

[Mamyalynne]

There is no fix to our draw
to hear it said sticks in my craw
It really is all fair and square
Milady is lucky yay so there.

[ladyalex]

Thank you, Mamya.

Mamya's my pal
What a great gal!

Tom Bowler makes her lady's hats
Her ladyship turns the tombola
When she draws the tickets fast
Alas - we too, she has turned over

Boom boom
