Going clubbing!

I'm ready. My 2nd jabber said I was ok to go clubbing, so with our local nightclub doing a special Freedom Day opening, I'm off.
As the last time I went was in the 70's I've had to dig deep to channel my inner boogie wonderland.
Replaced the platforms with some wide fitting Pavers, but glad I got my varicose veins done before lockdown.
Think I can find a low cut vest but may need to borrow GC's felt tips as no tattoos.
Booked my ticket on line and admitted I was over 18.
Starts at 10pm so will set my alarm as usually in bed by then. Hope my hearing aids don't whistle.
Anyone else want to come?

Bit of advice! While being chatted up by a young man last night (in my dreams) I needed to pop to the loo so grabbed my Walker and trotted off. By the time I got there I was desperate and got in a right pickle hopping up and down trying not to wet myself with my Spanx stuck on my arthritic knees! I fell down, one leg down the toilet and had to wait for a fireman to cut me out of my knickers! I think they wore body cameras so watch out for me on Tiktoc !

Firemen? Bring them on! We need some hunky men
The Admiral's fallen asleep in the corner, he's no good after tot-time.

Thanks for the password - Crash Mat got me straight in and they didn't even frisk me for my Warnink's Advocaat!
I'm raring to go - can you all do the Hitchhiker? ??

Callistemon Mon 19-Jul-21 23:04:37

That's a new one on me - I'll follow your lead!

I can do The Time Warp, just a minute, let me put my teeth back in so I can sing properly.

I've got the hand of this Time Warp dance

"It's just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips

You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
That really drives you insane"

?Think someone had better call for an ambulance. Think I've just put my new hip out.

I've done it again I'm embarrassed to say blush At my first school disco in 1962, my mum let me wear shoes with little heels for the first time. I swanned in to the school hall, slipped on the polished floor and skidded from one side of the room to the other much to the amusement of all the boys.
I've just happened again in these new Aldi slippers. Where's me coat?

Is it the plaid pac-a-mac?

Here's the Zimmers groovin' on down!

Good night had by all, especially after someone spiked our Horlicks.
GNetter 'x' narrowly avoided arrest for raffling her vaccine passport. GNetter 'y' went as bit wizzy after trying to blow up the balloons she got from a machine in the ladies, mistaking it for a Tena dispenser ( wrong glasses on)
Stretched them over handlebars of her walker in the end to improve grip.
I've managed to get felt tip off my arms with CIF but OH used indelible marker on the back of my neck to write 'this way up'
Why did no one tell me it wasn't a butterfly?
In trouble with my GS who rang me to see if I was home at 3.30am. Would have got away with it if you lot had stopped singing.
He new I was fibbing anyway as he'd set up a location tracker on my phone.

It’s called growing old disgracefully ( and am all for it!)?

lemongrove Tue 20-Jul-21 09:06:16

Oh wot a nite!

Callistemon Tue 20-Jul-21 10:11:36

Oh, what a night,
Late July in twenty twenty one
What a very special time for us,
As I remember, what a night.

Phew!
I need some R & R

hollysteers Tue 20-Jul-21 10:22:21

Well I have the hangover from hell but great to cop off with a posh boy!
Knock it up to them as my mother used to say.
Head can’t cope with the sun so no one can speak to me today, more water!

maddyone Tue 20-Jul-21 10:33:21

I ‘ad to take me boots off, couldn’t stand up in ‘em after ten shots of spiked ‘orlicks. Hoo did that? I’m nursing a mamouth angover this mornin’.

Theoddbird Tue 20-Jul-21 10:48:00

I will be going dancing in September...love a boogie. Flat shoes now though.

KnittyNannie Tue 20-Jul-21 10:55:27

Sounds very inviting. Had my second jab in April. BUT - I’m part of the ONS COVID survey, and have just found out that I tested negative for antibodies this month (positive for the last two months). Not sure where that leaves me!

Chigleys Tue 20-Jul-21 11:06:37

This all sounds like my kind of night out, may I join you all please, I could bring my own Horlivka as I have one of those mugs that keep drinks hot.

Alioop Tue 20-Jul-21 11:15:42

Yes please, I'll be a cheap date. One drink needed and I'll doze off, so I do hope the music is not too loud. I'll have to hunt out my body shaper to get my skimpy dress on, although with my post Covid weight, all that extra fat will then be flopping out anywhere it can.

Aepgirl Tue 20-Jul-21 11:28:18

Just give me some music that I can sing along to. I think I’ll get there early - about 7.30pm - then I can be home in bed by 11pm.

Ellianne Tue 20-Jul-21 11:34:02

Great night!
Some of you are lightweights though!
When is the next one?

Clevedon Tue 20-Jul-21 11:39:18

?????
Needed that laugh

Gabrielle56 Tue 20-Jul-21 11:49:21

Oh yeah! Breakout those cherished bazooka Joe tats! Still got it! Floaty top à là earth wind and fire n the emotions paired with tight Trews(with a bit of elastication of course) too much eyeliner too much mascara too much lippy. Gin secreted in a gaviscon bottle in me bum bag....not paying those bar prices......

Gabrielle56 Tue 20-Jul-21 11:51:49

Just a thought though.everyones saying how much the 'yung' have sacrificed for the greater good!?! You'd think they all isolated on their own so the rest of us could carry on regardless! We ALL made the sacrifice it's just that the 'yung' think 16 months is a long time........ They'll learn.

Peff68 Tue 20-Jul-21 12:13:45

??? you are all hilarious!

I’m LOLing at my desk!

Thanks for cheering me up and I think there’s money to be made for an oldies nightclub, especially Horlicks shots mmmm sound lovely, perhaps made with baileys!

FarNorth Tue 20-Jul-21 12:26:35

Yeah, okay, I was slumped in a corner later on - I wasn't passed out at all.
I was conducting social observation.
