Mad over fifties Club

[ladyalex]

Puff, puff.....

The Club is now Open


Welcome again to all who enter.

Tonight's talk is to be given by a mystery speaker who has promised to show us slides of their holidays in the UK and abroad.
The equipment and chairs have been set up in the big sitting-room upstairs .
Clearly an event not to be missed.


So far for tonight's raffle , I have

5 green bottles
5 eggs (sell by 12th May 2012)
5 spice powder ( half a pack)

Your ladyship, what a scandalous suggestion.
You can't help being spectacularly lucky.
The fact that you sell the tickets, fold the tickets and then draw the tickets (in private behind a locked door) is pure coincidence IMHO

[sunny-dave]

My old mum used to swear by her 'lucky purple drawers' for Bingo & Roffling ... I am too delicate to ask if others have similarly auspicious accoutrements ...

[polar-bear]

The iceberg is fine milady. It was 100 years old last month.I am going to put a piece of it in my flagon.

[ladyalex]

Modesty forbids that I reveal the colour of my lucky undergarments...suffice it to say that, should there be a requirement to stop a train on the nearby railway line, I would have no difficulty in flagging.

I knew that you would understand, Mrs O.

[ladyalex]

Did you throw it a party, PB ? Or were you afraid that the candles might melt it ?

[mrs_overall]

I didn't realise we had guest speakers.
If you are ever let down, I can do a short 1 hour talk and slide show entitled "How to Tell Right from Left Using a Snooker Ball for Illustration"

[ladyalex]

You'd be all right for cake frosting, though...boom boom!

[Lie-in King]

You're flagging, m'lady.

I mean - your flagon, m'lady..

[ladyalex]

You're booked, Mrs O...two week's time suit you ?

Or if tonight's mystery speaker is a no -show, perhaps you could extemporise tonight ?

[ladyalex]

Thank you , LiK. Your buttling is , as always, excellent.

[Mamyalynne]

Hope it isn't a lotto ball, I need a tenner tonight.

[sunny-dave]

I believe that the old 'cue ball in the marigold' trick is still used by some of the rougher wenches in our Northern Fishing Ports ...

[mrs_overall]

I would be delighted and honoured your ladyship.

For your future reference I also do a riveting talk on

"Seaweeds of the British Isles"

[ladyalex]

I'm trying not to think too much about that, Sunny.... it's a difficult image to get out of my head, though...

[ladyalex]

Is there no end to your talents, Mrs O ?
I'm sure we would love a talk on Seaweeds..as long as you promise not to bring samples along

[polar-bear]

We loaded it with bears, food and drink and floated it out into the channel and let it drift among the shipping lanes. Oh what fun we had.

[Lie-in King]

Tailcocks, tailcocks! Get 'em while they're Moony (oh-oh), they're lovely!

[sackville]

Good evening one and all ! I would welcome a small titfer of moonkist and luckily I don't like Gin.
For the riffle I would like to proffer:-
6 back-copies of The Spectator
2 x packs of gummed paper strips (for the making of paper chains)
1 Life Jacket (only slightly perished)
and
2 jars of home-made Fig Conserve (a very moving experience)
I'm wearing the duffle coat tonight so hide it wherever you will.

[Mamyalynne]

ah Duffel coats....sigh

[flump1]

Another tailcock would be welcome as I sample some broth and a volly vont. Wonderful evening, I shall away to the sitting room and await the speaker.
