Thanks john,but I verily believe my phal days are over (god,the chalfonts!!)go more now for spicy not heat.next time i see you i will give you my special recipe for brussel sprout curry, excellant and cheap.Thanks for your special invite to the hase,this has been a closely guarded secret,other horse punchers did not tell me about it.Long time since I was in 'ezzle, is hase a boozer?

Take your point about Tap,you must understand some of the regular attenders have now left the town,Jock and Sheila to Whitby,Harpmaker and Chrissy to bev.

I have talked to Theresa about the poss of a sunday afternoon session once a month based loosly on the very succesful Nellies bev, session and she seemed keen, but as yet not contacted me. I will follow this up on my return from the whitby

don't whant to see you gloomy at whitby,if you do feel that way come and have a bear session with me,it will be merry if not exactly cheap.I may well invest in a hamster to keep brian company.

re: laptops,I do own one,but will not be taking it as I once saw one of our illustrious mudcatters using one at a sing around in lieu of a song book,we can take technology a little to far.I realy do prefer the Traditional method of actually learning a song before singing it (wharts and all ).Any way it will give us a well deserved rest from the drivel pool.But we shall be back!!!!!!!!!! Drivel on oakiepoos!!!
