Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

The Club is now open, welcome one and all! For tonight's festivities we have a celebration of 50 years of James Bond with the 007 Tailcock - certain to leave you both shaken and stirred. The Tapster also has a selection of brews from the Towers Stillroom for your delight and delectation. Scoff has again surpassed himself giving us the "Casino Royale Casserole" made with real casino chips as our "Hot Dish" this evening, as usual there is a selection of volly vonts and canapes and vegetarian dishes. On the pudding trolley is Moonraker Mousse with Goldfingers. The Minstrels will be playing their customary Madrigals and Fugues, and later they will be giving us a rousing rendition of all the Bond Themes - a real treat!
Sadly owing to overstretched elastic the bungee won't be operational this evening - we're still waiting for Greengrass (the gardener) to string the elastic bands together to make a cord long enough to bungee from the South Tower, however, we have installed a trampoline in the vestibule for any guests wishing to "bounce" (just be careful of the chandeliers). For your further delight Peppino and his performing Poodles will be giving us a performance in the Music Room.
Any guest wishing to take part in tonight's Sack Race is requested to put their name on the entry forms in the vestibule
My offering for the rofl tonight is 1 Overstretched bungee cord and half a dozen gold hands (fingerless)
A warm welcome is extended to all who dare enter the Towers this evening.

Yes, my dear Sibton, what can I do to help? Apologies for my absence I was "settling" a point regarding a penalty with Best Beloved who will now be residing in the Dog House until he admits it wasn't a penalty!

[DTCwordfan]

yep sibs - presume that you will join me in the back seat.....?

[tonyav]

Oi sibo, no need for that with the avatar, I was only joking about the horse honestly.

[DTCwordfan]

I read that as, "One of his balls is on the penalty spot and the other is in the net."

[humbersloop]

way too early to start next year's sloe gin yet - the sloes need a couple of good frosts.

[Psybbo]

Of course DT. Nungate, tony is on the naughty step

[tonyav]

Yep DT, I have the feeling that best beloved is gonna pay the penalty alright lol.

[tonyav]

Never to early to drink sloe gin imo, sloopy.

[humbersloop]

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen. If everyone has their rofl ticket to hand we shall proceed with the draw as soon as Belle has come down to the Great Hall to pull the tickets out of the hat.
