Mad over Fifties Club

[ladyalex]

The Club is now Open.

The Committee has decided to re-instate the raffle this week.

Prizes so far include :
A tin of sardines, sell by date illegible
4 reels of black cotton
Half a box of chocolates (Hard centres only)

As we have not had a demonstration for some time, perhaps we can prevail upon one of our members to give us an illustrated talk on the subject of their choice ?
The Committee is aware that many members are very talented and in these straitened times we must make our own entertainments.

Members will also be glad to know that the oubliette has been cleared and cleaned, ready for .....

[ladyalex]

[ladyalex]

[alexanderd]

[anneasquith]

lol ladya answered question before being asked. i blame the interbreeding .

[Prudentia]

Marjorie is down in the cellar, checking out her late bottled vintage port, I only told her yesterday that it was fine, as good as it has always been!

[ladyalex]

I used to like you, anneasquith.....

How did you know about that business with the cousins ? We never speak of it in the big house.

It's the mirrors that are off, alexanderd, not my tiara.

[alexanderd]

Careful Anne touchy subject, i mentioned it once and was sent to Coventry(and thats a long way from here)

[ladyalex]

Do you have cellars in the spirit world, Prudentia ?

[anneasquith]

cousin ?mmm, do you have arranged marriages ? to keep the "stuff" in the family ?

[alexanderd]

they sell anything over there, magic carpets, aladins lamps, ectoplasm

[flicrat]

They must have cellars if only to have somewhere to leave the clanking chains and cut off heads.

[ladyalex]

Please can we stop this talk of cousins and marriages.

All our stuffing is kept in the family.

[Prudentia]

Yes we do lady alex, but we are very wary to go there, it seems very hot, I,m sure the reds will not be at room temperature1

[flicrat]

Whereas most people's stuffing is kept in the turkey or the cushions.

[ladyalex]

Perhaps you could give the talk next week, Prudentia......

[ladyalex]

Speak for yourself, flicrat

[Mamyalynne]

Oh my we have gone all spiritual, get the spuds while still hot.

A drop of red sounds good too.

[ladyalex]

What a good idea. Ready-mulled wine.
Pass the punch bowl.

[alexanderd]
