Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: alanww Date: 29 Aug 01 - 09:29 AM Well I really do feel embarrassed! How did I miss this thread? There is even talk about holding a meeting where I live! That is the little village on the edge of the Cotwolds called Stratford-upon-Avon, which is in the county of Warwickshire. "Kind friends and companions, come join me in rhyme ..." Alan |

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: Greyeyes Date: 29 Aug 01 - 07:25 AM I think I'm probably down as one of the Devon 5, but have now moved back to Wiltshire. I appear to be the Wiltshire one, but I'm sure in a thread about Moonrakers a while ago I heard of a 'Catter in Devizes. |

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: The Walrus Date: 06 Jul 01 - 04:43 PM I always understood that it was Llareggyb because in Welsh "Y" seems to be pronounced "U" (as in "Cymru"). Ah well, you line and learn ($%^$£~# censors). Anyway, Chalk up another one for Surrey. Regards Walrus |

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: Gareth Date: 06 Jul 01 - 02:11 PM A Pint of S.A. to Pavane for getting it correct, And a pint of whatever Matthew Edwards wishes to drink - for first up - Sorry Matthew the BBC "bowdlerised" Llareggub and the edit stuck. I'll have a go at transcribing Polly Garters Song on Sunday, if nobody has posted it first. The Cats Whiskers Skull Attack aka Brains S.A. A local Cardiff Brew, strong & bitter bitter. Not a session beer, its in the Youngs Special or Fullers ESB catagory. Your probably right in suggesting its not the Ale for a long evening. To be honest a fammily illness has kept me confined to drinking within a few minutes walk of home for the last 2 years. But any suggestions for venues near General, or Queen St Station would be appreciated. Gareth |

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: Matthew Edwards Date: 06 Jul 01 - 12:05 PM RE Llaregyb.pavane, I spelt it that way because thats the way its printed in my copy of Under Milk Wood.BTW has anyone posted Polly Garter's song here? |
|
Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: The Cat's Whiskers Date: 06 Jul 01 - 04:24 AM Sooooo... Where are the best folk clubs/venues in the Cardiff area then? I must admit, I'm pretty stumped. Do they all insist on mics and amps and Big Scarey Things like those? Eeeeeek! Prefer the quieter accoustic thingummy m'self. And could someone tell me what "Skull Attack" is please! Sounds like a drink that heavy metal fans knock back, not a peaceable, romantic, folkie beverage at all... TCW |
|
Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: pavane Date: 06 Jul 01 - 02:46 AM Why hide the origins of Dylan Thomas's fictional village by misspelling the name? Llareggub is 'bugger all' spelt backwards, deliberately by the author. |
|
Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: Matthew Edwards Date: 05 Jul 01 - 08:16 PM That has to be the Reverend Eli Jenkins, poet and preacher, from "the small town, starless and bible-black" of Llaregyb. I'm not sure I could cope with a pint of Skull Attack, but perhaps I could follow Willy Nilly postman's example and down a bucket of black brackish tea! nos da,Matthew |

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: Gareth Date: 05 Jul 01 - 07:22 PM South Wales This calls for a meet somewhere. Suggest somewhere within staggering distance from Cardiff General (sorry Central Station for the younger generation) om say a Friday or Saturday. Just a thought. Now for the quiz. "Thank the Lord we are a musical Nation". Who, and which backwards Welsh Village. First correct answer posted wins a pint of "Skull Atack" in a Kairdiff Pub. Gareth (aka Garydd)

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: Matthew Edwards Date: 04 Jul 01 - 03:38 PM I live in Wirral, which used to be in Cheshire, but got absorbed into Merseyside in 1974, until Mrs Thatcher abolished that entity. Given half a chance I'm sure she would have quite happily physically destroyed the place as well. However we are still here, abstaining against whichever government happens to be in power! Actually I am a Brummie by birth, Welsh and Lancastrian and Black Country by ancestry, and spent a muddled childhood getting comprehensively miseducated in Birmingham, Dublin,Ann Arbour in Michigan, Colchester,Willamstown Mass., and Norwich, until I ended up here quarter of a century ago. Wuth these divided loyalties I support England in cricket, Ireland in rugby, Tranmere Rovers in soccer,Wales for mountain walking, the Holy Modal Rounders against the spirit of blandness in American music, and finally Harry Cox against the world in singing! |

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 22 May 01 - 03:18 PM Guest John Evans, you are now less anonymous than most of us. Posting contact details here is not recommended, given that there is absolutely no restriction on who can call in. If you join the club, you are immediately contactable via Mudcat without anyone ever needing to know who or where you are; you can contact the rest of us the same way; exchange email addresses aand otherdetails by this more private route; and you can do other things, like put a trace on useful threads, etc, etc. Not bad value considering it's free. |

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: GUEST,Sam Pirt Date: 22 May 01 - 04:21 AM Quite impressive. I have an idea!! If every catter were to get another 2 people into it before we know it we'd have a ferry full of people to take over. How many grand piano's would catters go through then!!!! (links to the the german gathering if any of you have heard the storys I have heard!) Cheers, Sam |

Subject: RE: How many UK catters: Part 3 From: GUEST Date: 21 May 01 - 07:26 PM Don't forget those of us who are very private by nature, who squirm at the thought of 'get togethers' but still enjoy the mudcat in our own anonymous way.
