Mad Over Fifties Club

[nungate]

Good evening and welcome to tonight's meeting of the Mad Over Fifties Club.
Tonight at the Towers we are pleased to announce that the Tailcock will be the Storm Flurry and for the hot plate special we have a delicious Chicken Chasseur, with veggies from the estate and mash (of course) and on the pudding trolley, a rich and dreamy chocolate torte with whipped cream! As I this isn't enough we also have our customary volley vonts, canopies and horses doovers.
The Minstrels are busily setting up their instruments in the gallery ready to play the madrigals and fugues we have come to expect from them, in the ballroom we have the Woody Forest Swing Band - anyone for a jitterbug?
We have nice blazing fires in the most of the rooms (would anyone wishing to stay in one of our guest suites please inform Belle in order that fires may be lit in the suite) From the library to the snug the Towers is waiting to welcome members. The hot tub is bubbling away on the north tower and the bungee is ready to bounce, down in the dungeon the indoor pool is ready and waiting for anyone wishing a late night swim.
For the rofl tonight I offer:
Dry cleaners hanger - the cleaners put a pair of leather gloved on a hanger?
4 empty cardboard boxes - the Avon lady left them in the front porch

A warm welcome awaits all who dare enter these portals

[tonyav]

Evening Magyar, I recommend the tailcock, try a bucket.

[lady-janine]

they really exist then nuns. i though most of them had been made up. author's licence, etc. i know minty is another fan of rebus.

[lady-janine]

evening magyar. does your name suggest your heritage?

[nungate]

Oh yes, I can't remember whether it's the Oxford Bar or the Cambridge bar that is frequented by both the author and his creation but exist they do.
I'm sure Minty would be able to advise which one it is. I know where they are as well and I could take you to them but I can't remember the street name - daft isn't it?

[lady-janine]

igor is there another bucket of tailcock i could have please? the excitement of winning a tube of handcream on the dt beauty give away is too, too, too . . . . . . . . .

[lady-janine]

rebus spends a lot of time in the ox.

[lady-janine]

grandson has come to stay with us for the weekend. he has to go back to camp early lunchtime tomorrow. so far he has gone shopping in penzance on his own. and now he has gone to the pub. offered to drive him (2-3 miles) but he said he needed to go for a run. gave him a torch as there are no street lights in narrow, cornish lanes. ?did he come to see us? or just get away from camp or should i say come ashore?

[DaisyNonna]

Will give them a go and report back. Always happy to find an author I have not read. What would I do without my books?

[lady-janine]

waiting for this. so exciting.

[lady-janine]
