Subject: Llanstock memories II From: Catrin Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:28 AM OK that last one was getting a bit weighty - I'm sure that people still have lots to say though, so here's a new thread. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: sian, west wales Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:38 AM Well, I for one vote that Phoebe is a very nice child indeed ... bratling she may be at home, but lovely in company. And Amoret is a very together lady - kept her oldies well organised all Friday night, anyway. Probably all weekend. Teach your children well ... sian |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Catrin Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:41 AM Sian - there was an occasion on the Saturday Night at the caravan when Amoret's oldies started to get out of hand - she soon reigned them in though. You are so right! A very together young lady indeed. And as for Phoebe - I agree - a delightful child full of energy. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: GUEST,micca at work Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:41 AM Thanks Catrin, Memories? too many to sort, at the moment, as I mention elswhere I'm currently annoying colleagues by humming songs at work, but the real and enduring memory will be the people I met and how easy they were to be with, and No Prima Donnas!!!! at a folk event!!!!, they are all lovely, To paraphrase " So heres to you and our time together I raise to you a parting glass

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Catrin Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:47 AM Yeah - too many to sort - I look at my posting onthe previous thread (which was an attempt to be comprehensive). The more I look at it, the more I realise how much I missed out. Like the fact that we were all so squashed in that little front room at The Red Lion, but that didn't matter. In fact, it added to the cosy, intimate feel. And i forgot to mention Buff's curry. Yummy and, I feel sure, stopped me getting too out of hand when the end of the night came (at about 1.30am). Cheers, Catrin |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Patrish(inactive) Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:54 AM I remember dancing and dancing and dancing and really needing oxygen on saturday night. I did a clappy slappy dance with Jon Freeman and just as we were getting it right the dance finished - ahhhh never mind Jon, next time. Patrish |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: manitas_at_work Date: 17 Oct 00 - 07:32 AM Liz asked me to ask if Bron knows if Liz left her scarf in the pub on Sunday. Sam, if you're reading this can you send me "Llanfair Gathering" to paul_draper@ukgateway.net. Many thanks, Paul aka Manitas aka The Shark |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: sian, west wales Date: 17 Oct 00 - 11:10 AM Trevor said, a few blocks back, Sian, I think I'm at the meeting we talked about, and I missed the cake. Are those two supposed to be connected?? Does this mean, Trev, that you CAN come to the UK Leader II Network meeting? (yippee, on confirmation thereof) Bring guitar. These events have a soft underbelly, disguised in reports to the EC to protect the innocent. More like Llanstock than one cares to admit to funding bodies. We refer to certain sections of the timetable as Focus on Culture in Rural Development. Now, if Patrish can just make a case for tagging along with whoever is bidding for Leader + money in her area ... But don't tell me I have to make cake, too! sian! |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Llanfair Date: 17 Oct 00 - 11:24 AM I've just done the rounds, returning glasses to the Red, stuff to Pippins, and collecting my bedding from the pub. The various assorted bits of clothing left behind, including Liz's shawl will be returned shortly by post. I did suggest that we make everyone come and fetch their stuff, so we could have another bash, but they didn't think that was strictly ethical!!! Cheers, Bron. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Micca Date: 17 Oct 00 - 11:39 AM Sian, the beer in the small container, Owen Glyndwr???? was the dogs appendages,(that is very good) |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: sian, west wales Date: 17 Oct 00 - 11:49 AM Small?? That held a good 4 pints, mun. Owain Glydwr, 4.3 percent (I think). Thomas Watkins Brewery, currently Llandeilo, soon to be Swansea Luvly, luvly stuff theys gots ther. Their summer beer, Cwrw Haf, was a symphony. We must do more on the beer swap front at the next UK meet. Bronwen, thou art a treasure. sian |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Jon Freeman Date: 17 Oct 00 - 11:56 AM The beer... What was the name of that stout? I loved it - from Hereford? As for the cake, I'm afraid I missed out on that one. I was offered a slice and should have taken one for later but I was feeling more than a little rough on the Sun morning and could not face food of any kind. Patrish, I am glad it wasn't just you who felt in need of the oxygen, I felt that way after one dance! Now how did the clap clap clap bit go, I seem to remember you had it right long before I did. I think that I am a lost cause when it comes to dancing... Jon |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: KingBrilliant Date: 17 Oct 00 - 12:40 PM Was it the stout which rejoiced in the name of Dorothy Bigbody or something similar? Its a shame I was temporarily teetotal Sat & Sun. I think if Bron's scam had come off I'd have had to pretend I'd left something behind, just so I could come back. But, of course, I left my heart....... (she gushed)....but its Ok, I'm a time-lord, I have another. Kris |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Liz the Squeak Date: 17 Oct 00 - 12:40 PM Phoebe is yours, just come and pick her up. She wears nothing but school uniform, pink, sorry, that should be PINK and the little black number for parties. She eats pasta, sausage - she demolished two giant ones from the chippy Friday night after saying she didn't want anything..... She is a stage hogger I'm afraid. Give her a mike and she's harder to shift than a shite mark..... Mind you, she wasn't too bad..... So when do we get to see Micca's pictures then? LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: KingBrilliant Date: 17 Oct 00 - 12:43 PM Liz, would that be because she's a Shark Mite? She was a good lass though wasn't she? Kris |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Micca Date: 17 Oct 00 - 01:18 PM Jon, the Wye Valley stuff was called "Dorothy Goodbody" and Gomez is in love with her/it !!!!! sian, it took about 2 minutes to evaporate once it was opened, I had a glass and it went like ether on a hotplate after that.The Chocolate cake was MMMMMMMMmmmmmmmm!!!! |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: GUEST,Nynia at Uni Date: 17 Oct 00 - 01:41 PM Hey Bron, Me and Diva are going to send you a pair of socks each. That way if everyone has to collect their lost clothing, we will have to be invited. LOL. I'm really glad that everyone enjoyed all your hard work, I hope you found time to enjoy yourself as well.

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: GUEST,Diva Date: 17 Oct 00 - 02:31 PM Just beeen reading the threads. Sounds like you all had a magic weekend. Thanks to Bernard for posting the photos. Oooer, just dropped a stitch in the socks. :-) |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Morticia Date: 17 Oct 00 - 02:52 PM I'm still rummaging in my head for scrappettes of memories,my God-daughters performance was a highlight, as was Amoret's.Isn't it a comfort to know there's a whole generation coming up behind us who will sing the songs, tell the stories and hopefully,buy the beer. 'Tis sad but true that Gomez now has another....brown, curvacious (sob) and with good taste.....let's face it, I don't stand a chance. Dancing with Bill was a highlight but I hope to God no-one caught it on camera ( umm, sorry about your feet,Bill) and all the musicians and singers.....you couldn't find a flat note with a spyglass and a map. I don't think I left anything behind Bron but I could pretend I did. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Llanfair Date: 17 Oct 00 - 02:59 PM Don't let Dalek know you're a timelord, KB, there'll be ructions!!!! Isn't the bit about turning the heels of socks the place where we started all this?? I think ffyby had a profound effect on the little boys next door, they've been ever so quiet since the weekend!! Just wait till Llanstock 12!! Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Catrin Date: 17 Oct 00 - 05:29 PM Micca - How're you doing with your photos? I'm sure I left something behind too (honest guv!) Cheers, Catrin |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Llanfair Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:11 PM I was just talking to Noreen and Micca on Hearme, although we are all a bit croaky with colds. I suggested getting together on Hearme on Friday. About 8?. I'll post nearer the time. I'm going to bed with a lemsip, goodnight. Bron. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Micca Date: 17 Oct 00 - 06:50 PM I have sent some pix to Pene Azul. .. |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: GUEST,Skipjack at ancestral home on Essex Coast Date: 17 Oct 00 - 07:27 PM Mrs Skipjack was waiting for me with the rolling pin. Scotland beckons! Skipjack |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: sian, west wales Date: 18 Oct 00 - 04:34 AM You can pack Phoebs off to me anytime. This county has a tremendous music programme in schools - we'll have her playing harps and eating seaweed in no time. (But let's call her Ffibi - FfyBy would be pronouced FfuhBuh, maybe a character in the ChubbaChub lollies pantheon?) Hope youse guys get over your colds REAL fast. Don't suppose this weather helps, though! Get well or keep well, all. sian |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Micca Date: 18 Oct 00 - 07:49 PM The photos I took are up ,thanks to Pene Azul and are here Click here |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: KingBrilliant Date: 19 Oct 00 - 11:09 AM Lovely photos - especially the two Micca-Bernards (or Bernard-Miccas depending how you look at it). Kris |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Catrin Date: 19 Oct 00 - 12:51 PM Luverly photos Micca! Just spent ages looking at them and reliving the weekend. *sigh* Catrin |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: MudGuard Date: 19 Oct 00 - 02:09 PM Lovely pictures! But could someone explain the abbreviation SO to me? It seems to mean husband/wife, but why is it an S and an O? MudGuard |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Micca Date: 19 Oct 00 - 02:13 PM Mudgard, it is Significant Other, it refers to both "married" as in legally,and informal but long term relationship, and applies to relationships of either or same sex regardless of the "legal" definition. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Catrin Date: 19 Oct 00 - 02:27 PM Ans there was me thinking it meant Senior Officer *BG* |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: MudGuard Date: 19 Oct 00 - 03:08 PM Thanks for the explanation, Micca, I am always trying to improve my English (which is a foreign language to me)... And having heard all the stories about Llanstock and having seen all these pictures I now would like to seriously beat up my employer for sending me to Italy at the time of the meeting. When I was there only Bron and her SO Jim were in Llanfair Caereinion... MudGuard |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Noreen Date: 19 Oct 00 - 04:20 PM But I hear you made an impression when you were there, MudGuard! For MudGuard's sake as well as my own, can I just check about the term SO - is it used seriously? I have only ever seen it used on Mudcat, and assumed it was used sort of tongue- in- cheek. I understand the need for such a term, but this seems rather cumbersome? Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Llanfair Date: 19 Oct 00 - 05:20 PM I've just seen the pictures, and they are great. You've got Linda down as Noreen, though, halfway through the second page. I think they reflect the atmosphere of the weekend very well. Damp outside, warm, dry and well oiled inside!!! Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Noreen Date: 19 Oct 00 - 06:12 PM Hi all! Got my electronically-challenged photies back from the processors, and I've now learned to scan & send them into the ether!! Try The Llanstock Album and see if you can fetch them down from where they're flying around......... Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Catrin Date: 19 Oct 00 - 06:31 PM Noreen, I've had problems looking at the photos. Perhaps I wasn't patient enough though. Or my pc could be feeling tired - I've been abusing it recently. See if others have problems too... Cheers, Catrin |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Liz the Squeak Date: 19 Oct 00 - 07:15 PM Some great photos there, Noreen, a rare one of the shark on his melodeon. He usually just gets a back or an elbow.... Nice ones from Micca too, but I don't remember having that much to drink!! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Llanfair Date: 20 Oct 00 - 04:32 AM Those are great pictures, Noreen, I start the diet on Monday, when this lousy cold has gone!!!! I have been asked to do an article for the local paper, (so they can change everything and spell my name wrong!!) Has anyone who posted photos got any problems with me using them for this??? Obviously I'll let you know which ones I send, and I'll get copies of the paper when it is printed. Talk to you tonight, Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: GUEST Date: 20 Oct 00 - 05:25 AM Bron, No problem, so long as they are credited to either you or me.. but go for it ... |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: GUEST,micca at work Date: 20 Oct 00 - 05:27 AM Sorry, the above is me.. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Noreen Date: 20 Oct 00 - 06:24 AM Feel free to use my piccies, Bron, assuming that nobody who appears in them has any objections. I'd like to see the write-up in the paper when it happens: you could scan it in for everyone to see? Liz, I think the photo of Linda looking at the shark with his back to the camera, invites a caption... :0) Prizes for the best! Catrin, hope you've had more luck since. You can see the originals on Monday anyway. L8R Noreen |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Catrin Date: 20 Oct 00 - 02:30 PM Well, computers are such moody buggers. Got them no problem this time. Memories *sigh* |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Trevor Date: 20 Oct 00 - 02:40 PM Sorry Sian, I thought that you baked the fabled cake for last weekend, hence the hint. |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Morticia Date: 20 Oct 00 - 05:35 PM Great pictures Noreen..........I especially like that there's none of me :)I see that Viking sneaked off to your place for his tea........has to keep his strength up for sheep-chasing I suppose |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Terry K Date: 20 Oct 00 - 06:23 PM I know it's bloody silly, but its just like I'm still there. Everyone I talk to - I just can't wait to get in my bit about where I was at the weekend. I babble on til their eyes go glassy, then babble on some more. I can see them looking through narrowed eyes, thinking "get a life" or somesuch, even though all my friends know that I have a massive 3D life. I can't begin to understand the magic - oh please, I'm not about to get religion am I? Great photos everybody; I have some too, but it may take until next year's reunion to get them organised. Cheers, Terry |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: bill\sables Date: 20 Oct 00 - 06:37 PM Hi All, Sam Pirt and I took Linda down to Gainsborough tonight where she is staying till Sunday with a group of American Old Time Musicians. Then I think she is going on to Micca's (It is her birthday tomorrow)Sam and I visited the Gainsbourough Folk Club who are holding their first ever folk festival and Wullie was there along with other catters who I did not know. The photo's are bringing back good memories of last weekend . Do we realy have to wait a whole year for another Llanstock? Cheers Bill |

Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Skipjack K8 Date: 20 Oct 00 - 06:45 PM Terry, it was braw meeting you in Llanfair. I was serious about getting you down to Tollesbury for a sail soon. I was down on Tuesday night, to find the good ship Natterjack had sunk at her mooring, the combination of too much rain and a self draining deck turning into a self filling deck! Two solid hours of pumping out, making Mutley noises, and getting cross with myself that I'd left her so long. Hope your Norfolf Oyster is snug in her berth @ Rutland. Skipjack |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: bill\sables Date: 20 Oct 00 - 06:55 PM Are you talking about accordions again Skipjack? |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Skipjack K8 Date: 20 Oct 00 - 07:23 PM There's little else I can talk about, Bill! Skipjack |
|
Subject: RE: Llanstock memories II From: Terry K Date: 21 Oct 00 - 02:55 AM Greg, I know how you feel. "Euterpe" has self-filling bilges aided by the cover which collects the rain really efficiently - I simply dare'nt go up there as I know I'll have the two hour pumping exercise too. At least she's on land! Am certainly looking forward to Tollesbury when we can get it on - nothing too scary though!!! Cheers, Terry |
