Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to Nungate Towers, time for AB's Mad Over Fifties to meet for an evening of culture and reflection or failing that the usual mayhem and madness which usually takes place on these evenings.
Igor is lurking at the main entrance waiting for the arrival of our guests so he can help them out of their coats, cloaks and broomsticks in order for their concealment in the variety of crooks and nannies he has found around the Towers members are advised that their items are left at their own risk and the management cannot guarantee their safe return at the end of the evening
Tonight's Tailcock will be the "Eurovision" an international sort of brew, yet interesting..........
Our Hot Plate Specials Tonight have a truly international theme, we have Paella, Sauerkraut, Spaghetti, Fondue, and pickled herrings.....of course there will also volly vonts, canopies and horses doovers. On the pudding trolley, we have Tiramisu, Danish pastries, Crema Catalana, and Gateau St Honore (I have just gained 10lbs just typing that!)
For our entertainment tonight we have engaged the services of our favourite local band the Tone Deafs who will be performing the greatest hits of Eurovision, and we have also decided to have a Karaoke evening, it's going to be busy down in the Ballroom tonight! Yet again the Minstrels have found a way in, and are setting up in the Gallery in the Great Hall ready with their usual selection of madrigals and toccattas................spare us..........please!
For members not wishing to indulge in any musical interlude, we have an interesting variety of amenities for our members, from the indoor pool down in the dungeon, (swimwear is available for members who didn't bring any - skinny dippy is frowned upon - indoor pool does not approve! On the topmost Tower, members will find the bungee, all ready and waiting for bouncing, just be careful not to land in the moat, the piranhas bite! On the North Tower we have the hot tub just bubbling away, nearby his friend the mini bar, (suitably replenished from last meeting) is waiting. Members are welcome to wander in the extensive grounds of the Towers, and they can also access the beach, though bathing is not recommended as the water is too cold at the moment. Also outdoors, there is a race track and cars ready for racing and the rowing boats are again available for rowing out on the lake. Back indoors, members can also use our library, gym and the conservatory (though members are reminded not to feed the Triffid its not due another feed until midsummer)
A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

Camel milk? Think I'm glad I don't travel too far afield ...

[Igor61]

Madame, is it just me or do those singers on that contest, Dixie Chicks wannabes?

[tonyav]

nungate, could I have another bucket of eurovision please, only without the euro bit, I'm a bit of a sceptic see.

[nungate]

Who isn't Tony, who isn't? I voted to be in trading union not the United States of Europe!

You may have a point there Igor, well they tried Igor, they tried and missed

[Igor61]

Your drink Tony, sir, I have removed the Euro though you may find it has lost it's "kick"

[tonyav]

Ted Heath conned us, nungate.

[DaisyNonna]

Tony, thinking back I still have the broom used by an ex boyfriend. It's too big for me. He was 6'4" to my 5'2". By now it's a Classic model I think. I could send Ernie (my sea eagle) with it to you and he could fly alongside you to the Towers next week. He could give you flying lessons on the way and is better than a SatNav. Must remember the broom's name.

[tonyav]

Thanks Igor, regarding the ''kick'' don't worry about that, I'll ask madame later if I can sample one of her fine single malts.

[nungate]

Think we were deluding ourselves, I seem to remember a documentary from when I was just a kid about the EEC, and they were touting the United States of Europe way back then - I was in primary school so you can imagine how long ago that was!

[tonyav]

Ohhhh, that sounds great, Daisy thank you. Is it a fast broom ?.

[DTCwordfan]

One pissed off Bard here, now on the wine big time when Saturday is oft a dry night.

The riffle will say why.

One Asus PC about to be thrown at the TV for (i) its ability to drop out of the broadband when sending this message as it just has and (ii) the fecking Eurovision on

One Audi A3, one new alternator and rebuild of the under-engine, crankcase etc.

One sump with a hole in it, the size of my wedding finger.

One empty bottle of redwine (shortly), a Quattro Riserva (I hadn't realised the irony in that until now).

[tonyav]

To tell you the truth, nungate, I wish that de gaulle bloke had managed to keep us out.

[DaisyNonna]

Wasn't Europa raped by a white bull? Zeus in disguise in Crete?

[tonyav]

What has happened, DT, another holed sump pan ?. [i]by the way I understand why that would seriously *** you off[i].

[nungate]

Oh DT know exactly how you feel, I had two freezers (full of food) and a washer/dryer die on me in the space of one week! Pull up and chair and drown your sorrows, Igor a nice big bucket for DT

[tonyav]

I had a Lotus Europa once, Daisy !.

[DaisyNonna]

HI DT, so I'm not the only one having connection problems? Quatro? Glenister?

[nungate]

I thought it was Tommy Steel with the white bull Daisy, wasn't aware that the Europa bull had a designated colour but I could very well be wrong. Zeus used so many disguises!

[tonyav]

Quatro? Glenister?


LOL, fire it up, Daisy.

[DaisyNonna]

Like a Lotus.
The broom's name is Indie after Clive of India. Yes, it is fast. It's owner became a solicitor!
