Mad over 50's Club now open.

[Mamyalynne]

As I am not sure whether her Ladyship has returned from her travels in New England, I am happy once again to invite you all to pop in.

There is a large selection of tailcocks on the side buffet table and some warm melton mowbrays pies straight from the aga. That should cheer us on a damp and chilly bank holiday weekend.

I feel turnout will be low tonight, so perhaps any donated items could go into a bran tub instead of the non raffle (that should appease the committee-whoever they are)

My small donation is
3 apostle spoons
and a jar of vegemite.

Yes Matron its a bit cool and damp over here today but typical for a bank holiday, though why banks need holidays I havent a clue since they are shut most of the time

[Mamyalynne]

Society my witty skills have been dulled by years of domestic duties am a poor replacement.. Milady is visiting the wonderful son and heir in Massachusetts.

Hi Alex, do windmills stop the moles, never heard that before.
Did you find a purse in the moat? If so it's mine, ta.

[askyourgran]

Good evening everyone, I do hope there are some pies left, I'm feeling a bit peckish now. I've been waylaid on the Eurovision channel, never heard such bawling and catrwauling in all my life.
For the bran tub I've bought a bottle of Benedictine, made by monks doncha know, tastes awful, but someone might like it if you drown it in orange juice or somethink.
A tailcock would do nicely thank you.

[Mamyalynne]

Draw up a chair gran heres a tailcock and a warm melton pie, yes never heard such a noise, thought someone had stood on the cat.

[alexanderd]

yes miss meg the windmills turn in the wind and sends a vibration into the groun and the moles scarper quick. Didnt find a purse Im afraid just some loose change which, under the terms of my contract I must share with Matron

[Meg]

Thanks alex, worth a try. Welcome askyourgran, Euro whatever gets more appaling year after year, think I may enter next year.

[society]

[wazzamatter]

Nurse my brow needs wiping

[boxtops]

Good evening troops, I cannot stay long, I am just back from foreign parts so have just popped in so you can admire my suntan. Welcome wazza! How is we all?

[Mamyalynne]

am here with my swabs wazza, have you got over excited or are you operating?

[alexanderd]

Hi Boxtops, hope you enjoyed your trip, matron has popped out but drinks and nibbles are in the usual place

[alexanderd]

oops Matron has returned

[Meg]

Hello boxy, did you have a good time? Welcome back, did you bring us a camel? Humph is chomping on the bit in anticipation of a new chum.

[boxtops]

Fabbo thank you all, we have come back completely rested out. I have a dromedary in the back yard, they did not have one-hump camels, it was either that or a donkey (of which there were many). Dromedaries are excellent as passenger vehicles but I forebore from a test ride. This may be one for his lordship when he returns....

[Mamyalynne]

welcome back boxtops, I do hate to correct you but the Dromedary is the one humped variety!! But good fun all the same.

[wazzamatter]

Well I have been known as a smooth operator sometimes mamyalynne

[boxtops]

You may Mamya, I have no personal knowledge of the camel family, only that our chauffeur referred to them (when we went to the camel shop) as "les dromedaires" in his impeccable French, so I have made a poor translation!

[alexanderd]

boxtops, you should have gone to "camels r us" I find the assistants there are ver helpful

[boxtops]

I guess that would be Dromedaires Sommes Nous then alex.....and no, I can't give you that in Arabic either!!
