Mad over Fifties CLub

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

Welcome again, one and all on this wintry evening.
The fires are all banked up, the Aga is glowing and the warming drinks are almost ready.

Sadly the drawbridge has been frozen shut , so access can only be gained by skating over the moat.
Members are respectfully reminded to leave their skates at the door as the blades would play havoc with the parquet in the grand hall.

There are these prizes for tonight's raffle:

A fish supper. (Uneaten , still in it's original newspaper)
A hot water bottle. (Only one visible leak covered by elastoplast)
Two ounces of pink wool. (Double knitting...different batch numbers.)

Members are also reminded that the buckets in the downstairs conveniences are there for a purpose and are on no account to be used.

Bill is great, he is my friend
We have a truce that will never end
Friends are few and far between
but the ones I have, they are a dream
Never nasty, never cruel
always there in times of trouble

[alexanderd]

Hi Bobbi, had any snow over your way today?

[ladyalex]

AAAArrrgh. Didn't get my fingers i n in time.

Limps back inside groaning and moaning.

[Mamyalynne]

Phew are we safe now, bobbi you ain't no bard, but poetry is hard, worth a shot, but not too hot.

[Meg]

They're a disgrace, seen them off again, well done all!!
Another mulled wine would reward us!

[starone]

Lady Alex, what a magnificent show you put on there. You have saved us all singlehandedly (is that a word?) Anybody got any tweezers for those thorns?

[ladyalex]

Puff, puff groan Mamya, mamya...strong beverage required over here..

[alexanderd]

[ttfn]

Good job I can still hit a high C - never did believe the crystal glasses were real! Routed they are - well done Alex - we make a fine team and miss meg is heaven sent for crow's nest position. See matron has gone missing - have you seen her Bobbi?

[Meg]

God forbid

[ladyalex]

I think I may have to lie down for a bit.

[Bobbisox]

[starone]

Are we going to do poems again? If so I'll find my Methuselah's Diet one. Can't quite remember where I put it, you'll be glad to know.

[alexanderd]

This is all too exciting for an old man I am afraid I must take my leave and let you all get on with your merry-making. Goodnight all and have a good week will see you next week if I am spared

[Bobbisox]

Goodnight Alex pet, sweet dreams

[Meg]

Right you lovely lot,
I'm off, will not be back in the club till mid January.
A very merry Christmas and I wish all of you a really happy New Year!!
Take care, Wendyxx

[ladyalex]

I want to be alone
well not really

We threw them out
Hope they get the gout
Sent them packing
back to their shacking
