Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Evening all, and welcome back to Nungate Towers for the latest meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
On tonight's agenda we are having an inflatable party down in the indoor swimming pool. Plant has spent today blowing up so many, inflatable toys (sorry no inflatable dolls) poor soul I fear he might not have enough puff left to serve our members this evening! The minstrels will again be taking their place in the Great Hall gallery, playing their customary selection of madrigals and fugues, while down by the pool, we have Troy Tempest and the Stingrays providing the music for the pool party and also for the Muckleflugga and Penge Formation drow.... oops Swimming Team.
Our hot plate special tonight is a sea food platter a melange of all sorts of
fish and shellfish (also available for those with an intense dislike of all things fishy, namely me, we have a delicious lasagne) on the pudding trolley tonight there is Sussex Pond pudding, with lashings of custard or whipped cream. Naturally, we also have everyone's favourites, volly vonts and canopies. The Tailcock tonight is the Little Mermaid, and intriguing concoction I think and right up there with some of the best efforts of our resident mixologist! For those members who prefer a less riotous time, rest assured, your needs have also been catered for. There are roaring fires in the Snug, the Games Room and also in the Library, where members are free to peruse the shelves and where they can also find the latest editions of all the popular magazines and periodicals, I believe we have just received the latest edition of Corn Plasterers Monthly.
For the rofl tonight I offer:
half a bag of John Innes No3 compost
a selection of broken flower pots
a jumble of tangled embroidery threads (thank you Teddy)
1 kitten in need of a good home .... (kidding! wouldn't part with him)

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

(except inflatable dolls!)

Doh, Tony puts his back in the car !.

[DaisyNonna]

Thanks for your concern nungate. Very wet this morning but tonight was dry and calm. Full moon made navigating simple.

[nungate]

After all Tony, this is a family "show"

[tonyav]

I know, nungate !

Anyhow, Troy Tempest and the Stingrays, any chance of Marina joining them later ?.

[DaisyNonna]

About pudding nungate? Have you ever seen a Sussex pond? They are renowned for harbouring water dragons. The pond, or knuckerhole at Lyminster is famous for its dragon or knucker. Not far from Arundel.

[tonyav]

Water dragon, Daisy ?.

[nungate]

Not too aware of the Sussex pond Daisy, I chose that particular pudding as it has a "water" name i.e. pond, since we have a sort of aquatic thing going on this evening.

Tony, Marina won't be joining the band, she has no "voice"

[nungate]

There's a dragon here at the Tower's, you know. He lives down by the grotto, he can be a bit on the grumpy side though, there's a sign outside his cave saying "Trespassers will be barbecued" not terribly pc but he does keep the undesirables from the door

[DTCwordfan]

Just been out to one of the local watering cans and foul it was, on the way back - not the food and vino, that was fine.....the wind and rain is whipping in, even a flash of the sparklies to entertain me.

Advance notice, back out to the same village next Friday for a restaurant opening, the chef from my ex-local (good that he is) is opening his own place so a gang of us are going to support him Them - the 2nd chef has gone too and a rather delish Lou as front of house too) on opening......going with my business colleagues and a wee French gal who is a friend, so yes read between the sheets.

Draw tonight:

One Anvil (from the pub)
One bent fork
One empty glass of Rattler Cloudy cider
One mayonnaise pack
One windscreen wiper
One S bend road sign
One farm tractor wheel
2 tons of beetroot mud
3 gallons of rain water
One pair of size 2 shoes
One village sign saying Doddiscombeleigh, that crossed out and "Gness was here"
One pot of Devon cream, the jam on upside down
3 tons of leaves

[DTCwordfan]

cracking up - next Saturday night!

[tonyav]

Tony, Marina won't be joining the band, she has no "voice"

Oh yes, I had forgoten about that little detail, nungate. Well maybe she could dance with the band instead.

[DTCwordfan]

topless, tony, topless?

[nungate]

Salutations DT I must report that it is blowing a bit of a hoolie around the Towers as well tonight

[DaisyNonna]

Yes Tony, the dragon lives in the pond and surfaces to eat.

[nungate]

Ours has his meals sent down from the kitchens or else he has pizza delivered

[DTCwordfan]

Are we talking about Nessie - or a distant relative?

[nungate]

Nessie isn't a dragon. I will say though that she has more curves than a movie star, and a wiggle three miles wide .......

George, our dragon would be offended to be thought a relative of Nessie

[tonyav]

DTCwordfan
topless, tony, topless?

Of course, DT.

Only comes to the surface to feed, Daisy !, what does it eat ?.

[nungate]

Dragon flies?

[DaisyNonna]

Would be very distant DT. How far is it from Loch Ness to Sussex? In any case would think Nessie would be much bigger than our knuckers. Ponds do tend to be smaller than lochs. What happened to my drink?
