Good Evening and welcome to Queenies Quay for this week’s Mad Over Fifties Club.
Tonight we are going themed...it’s Movie week so dress up as your favourite film character. I’ve come as Richard Hannay from the 39 steps.
Rahul has been to an educational class and has learnt basic ‘eengleesh’ his words not mine. He can understand please, thank you and bucket.
Tonight’s tailcock is The Storm. It’s a wild brew a little like the weather outside.
For eats we have a Mexican feast! We have chilli and rice, burritos (beef, chicken,pork and veg), enchiladas, tacos and corn fritters. We have the usual volly vents and horses doovers. On the pudding trolley we have ice cream and sprinkles.
Entertainment comes from the Tone Deafs, they are doing their own versions of 70s disco classics. We have in the cinema room the option to screen any film you feel like. So sit back and make yourself comfy. Popcorn and pick and mix is available. The Bungee is up and running so feel free to have a spring around. In the library we have the new editions from our Subscriptions The Trout Farmers Weekly, Goat Farming Basics Monthly and Backwards Hill Walking for beginners.
For the ROFL I have
Opened box of paracetamol used
Benylin Chesty Cough bottle used 1 dose left
1 empty card board box cat sized
1 Heat shield from a Vauxhall Corsa
1 clean unmatched sock, blue
The hills are alive with the sound of AB
With MOFC songs they have sung for a thousand days
The hills fill Queenie's heart with the sound of tailcocks
Her throat wants to drink every glass it sees
Her larynx wants to beat like the wings of ducks
that rise from the Quay to the cranes
Her head wants to sigh like a chime stuffed full of flies
from a Ibuprofen on a breeze
To laugh like a crook when Tony trips and falls over
stoned on its way
To sing through the night like Sharon who is learning to pray
Queenie goes to the Lothians when her bar is lonely
She knows she will hear what she's heard before
Her throat will be blessed with the sound of a tailcock
And she'll squawk once more
