Welcome all Mad over Fifties to the hallowed halls of Nungate Towers. Tonight's tailcock is the "Ding a Ling" a concoction of a few spirits and fruit nectars with a berry chucked in to add that certain "je ne sais quoi" The offering on tonights hotplate is a chicken casserole with herby dumplings (rolled by these fair hands!) also on offer are our usual tasty selection of volly vonts, canopies and other delightful nibbles. Our pudding trolley tonight is groaning under the weight of Knickerbocker Glories (we've had trouble finding original knickerbockers but we found them nonetheless) The Minstrels are already in the gallery tuning up and getting ready with the usual selection of madrigals and toccattas, later on they plan to regale us all with their favourite songs by Bessie Smith, I, myself am particularly looking forward to hearing "Gimme a pigfoot and a bottle of beer" echoing within these walls! The hot tub is gently bubbling away on the North Tower, the mini bar has (again) been replenished, sadly the bungee on the South Tower is still awaiting new elastics (having trouble obtaining the right strength of elastic) However, we have again opened up the bowling alley in the dungeons (Sir Cumference is looking forward to some company this evening) and the games room has also been furnished with a variety of games for your amusements - I have the tiddlywinks table booked for 9.30.................
For the rofl I offer a years back issues of The Lady magazine
Ten years back issues of the Speedway Star,
a dozen odd socks
a variety of chipped or broken china
(yes we've been having a clear out)
The warmest of welcomes is assured for all who dare enter these Towers
Oh dear, no bananas for you and Lady J then DT - you might like the Copa Bali
scoop of lemon ice cream (not a sorbet) scoop of strawberry and scoop of vanilla, sliced peaches, raspberry sauce topped off with lashings of whipped cream and a cherry------I could go for one of those right now
They might have a problem with that Excel, they don't have the electronics for it ....................come to think of it there are no power points in the minstrels gallery either even if they had................could get a man in though....
Oh I know all about spoiling daughters Sibs (quicker to type Sibs than Psybbo)
To give her her due, Queenie does spoil me too - she's a very generous soul
