Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open


Welcome once again to our wonderful Club.

Drinks and nibbles will no doubt appear as if by magic in a few minutes.

Tonight's talk was to be 'The Plumbing of Listed Buildings'.
Sadly the speaker, Mr de la Vie Diver, will not be able to attend due to adverse wind conditions. If any member would care to step into the breach, their contribution would be greatly appreciated.

Raffle contribution so far are:

1 packet of safety pins, (various sizes)
1 tin Mansion House Polish, 1965 vintage, very sought after
4 maltesers

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.

Am so sorry for losses

[slinky.kate]

it was my ex husbands sister.

[Mamyalynne]

But still any passing is tinged with sadness, now have another drink and some nibbles and sit by the fire, we can watch the pictures in the flames.

[albaqwerty]

I've brought volte vents and a half chewed jelly baby for the raffle

[slinky.kate]

[slinky.kate]

[Mamyalynne]

Yes indeed let us sing and raise the roof.

[beattie819]

Sorry to intrude, but I need to find a home for 6 chocolate peanuts, minus the chocolate. Would they be any good for your raffle?

[slinky.kate]

haleluliah,la la la .la la la

[alexanderd]

If we raise the roof I am not going up there to fix it, my memories of ladders are far from happy ones

[Mamyalynne]

Beattie all donations are welcome, do come in we are having a wake and a jolly good time, do have a drink.

[ladyalex]

Well, that's a lot better. I've had a lie down in a darkened room and feel much better.

Another drink please, Mamya and on with the singing.

[slinky.kate]

[Mamyalynne]

SAP

[ladyalex]

Well, if you're talking about drinks it would be SIP or possibly sup, but I expect you want SAP

[boxtops]

or SOP, if you spill it on the floor

[Mamyalynne]

Of course Milady, here we are.

♫Memories, like the corners of my mind ♫

[alexanderd]

I,ll sing ye a song about a wee lassie
she had one eye and it was glassie
her lips were red, her tooth was white
are you surprised I lay awake all night?

[Mamyalynne]

♪ There's n old mill by the stream, Nellie Dean ♪

[ladyalex]

She's a big lass and a bonnie lass
And she likes her beer
And her name it is Cushie Butterfield
And I wish she were here
