Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Welcome to tonight's meeting of AB's Mad Over Fifties Club.
I trust everyone has battened down their respective hatches in readiness for the oncoming storm.
Tonight's entertainments will be as always the Minstrels in the gallery (with a candlestick, piece of rope and glitterball) In the ballroom we have engaged a tango ensemble who will play the music of the Argentine tango, and to demonstrate the dance, we have engaged the services of Muckleflugga's top tango duo Roberto McTavish and his partner the lovely Gladys Oglethorpe. We do hope we can send you all on a "trip" down "Argentine Way"
Our tailcock for this evening will be the Autumn Breeze, an interesting yet, potent brew. Also our hot plate special will be a delicious chicken and ham pie, creamy mash and a selection of veggies! On the pudding trolley
we are offering a treacle tart with lashings of cream. In the best MOFC tradition there will be the customary selection of volley vonts, canopies and other nibbles.
For the rofl I offer
An umbrella (broken spoke)
Avon catalogues (used and past order dates)
Queenie's favourite glass - broken, thank you Teddy
a set of matching anti macassars

Be sure to have your tickets ready at the appropriate time
Members can rest assured that if the storm arrives before close of the evening's proceedings, guest suites will be available in the west wing for any travellers unable to get home safely.
Otherwise, we have the hot tub bubbling and all set to go, the mini bar has been refilled. In light of the latest weather forecast the bungee will not be in use tonight (the piranhas in the moat can sleep safely) The games room is at members disposal as is the indoor pool and gymnasium (do try not to disturb Sir Cumference when you are down in the dungeons, he gets a bit grumpy if disturbed too much) Igor will be on hand to assist members with their outer garments and will hand them over to Frank for their concealment. Frank has been demoted from minion to assistant minion and has had his chains confiscated until he breaks his "unfortunate habit" He has also spent some time on the naughty step for his disobedience.
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Away, DT.


I played the wardrobe, Daisy !.

[nungate]

I regularly play the fool ...

[DTCwordfan]

Little Bumbleboffin......

[DTCwordfan]

Does that make you a closet goat-keeper then, tony?

[tonyav]

LOL, yes sort of, DT.

[nungate]

His goats are still in my stables .....

[tonyav]

I know nungate, minty told me to keep an eye on them !.

[nungate]

They're all fine Tony - some of them are talented - see Queenie for further information

[DaisyNonna]

Igor, could you please replenish my bucket? Must go check on my cloak. Poor thing gets an awful stutter when he is upset. So upset that it comes at the end of a word. His name is saucer. Don't know whether he was a cup-bearer or a commis chef before he came to me.

[Igor61]

A refill for you Madame Daisy. Can I reassure you that your cloak is fine. I took care of it myself, it's in the conservatory making friends with our pet triffid

[DTCwordfan]

remember that Mr Tumnus is one of the characters in the play....and he is half man, half goat.... http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs16/i/2007/194/1/f/Mr__Tumnus_by_Nahlei.jpg

So?

In Nungateland, Santa is joulupukki.
That in Finnish means “Christmas Goat”
That’s rather funny to translate,
and on that unique pissed note…

Here are a few things to share with you
about what makes goats so minty great.
Take one small second because I reckon
this stupid poem won’t make you late.

Goats were domesticated around 7000 B.C.
Domesticated goats are found worldwide.
Pygmy goats are a species, not a breed.
Ancient Greeks made parchment from pee and goat hide.

Goats are somewhat picky about what they eat,
Sometimes treacle tart, sometimes vonts, but not tin cans.
Careful ‘bout a mouse, but a goat in Nungate's house?
Well, it won’t eat Queenie's Avon make-up pans.

Contrary to belief, goats do not eat tin cans,
but rectangular eyes do let goats see in the dark.
One Angora can give four mohair pounds per year.
Goats were on the tail of many an ABer, we know by the the farts.

Goats are also quite strong-willed.
They have to make up their own Minty mind.
You can’t push or pull. You can only bribe cajole.
Goats only acquiesce when tony's berated or resigned.

Thanks for taking a moment
to learn about goats and their AB lives.
Please pass this rhyme along, keep it going stable and strong,
so that this knowledge that tony's goats will survive.

[DaisyNonna]

[Igor61]

Refill anyone? Anyone needing a piece of pie?

[tonyav]

Then I'm dancin then, Daisy.

Yes please, Igor.
