Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Gulliver Date: 16 Oct 07 - 07:55 PM Am definitely planning to go, and I'm sure Gerry will come as well, and maybe one or two others from our neck of the woods. Don |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Emma B Date: 16 Oct 07 - 10:32 PM Thinking about coming over again, would love to meet up with you and Gerry next year. |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 23 Dec 07 - 04:11 PM Now it's official, my surgery (hernia inguinalis) will take place in the last week of January, so I definitely can't make it in 2008. Even though the stay at the hospital afterwards will be much shorter than they told me before, I am supposed to stay in bed mostly for one to two weeks afterwards, and the doctors forbid me to go flying so soon after the operation. I wish you all a merry Christmas and a happy new year! Enjoy Loughstock Sixpack 2008 (which might be much easier than the last few years as I won't bother you ... ;-) Andy/MudGuard |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 23 Dec 07 - 04:16 PM Shame Andy, we shall miss you. Happy Christmas and a good new year to you too. Giok |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Emma B Date: 23 Dec 07 - 04:22 PM Andy, you will never lie 'short' in bed :) Seasons greetings and good luck with the operation. |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 23 Dec 07 - 06:01 PM >> Andy, you will never lie 'short' in bed :) Depends on the surgeon - if he confuses me with some other patient who should get both legs removed ... ;-) |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: GUEST,Philippa Date: 27 Dec 07 - 08:09 AM so is the flock definitely coming to Strangford Lough FEBRUARY 1, 2 AND 3? What does Fibula Mattock say? (if she wrote the constitution she can also change it) |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: GUEST,LTS pretending to work Date: 27 Dec 07 - 08:19 AM Not so much a flock... more like a small bird table's worth at the moment. Health and other problems are preventing an awful lot of people from attending next year. LTS |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Peter K (Fionn) Date: 01 Jan 08 - 08:49 PM Thanks Giok! My view last year was largely informed by self-interest, because we would have been able to attend OK if the gathering had been on the "traditional" weekend. There is another point, that the traditional weekend coincides with a monthly session at the Fiddlers for locial Irish traditional musicians. I always hoped that some sense of joint enterprise would develop between the locals and the invaders, but it never seemed to work out. (Herge and Jim would be the ideal catalysts for that chemistry to happen, but they usually head back to the deep north before the Sunday session gets going.) This year I'm sorry to say we won't be there whichever weekend it is. White Tiger's thoughts are now (inevitably) consumed by other matters, and I am more often in Bosnia and Croatia. Are Greg and Eric still Mudcatting and potential attendees? I hope enough turn up to keep Loughstock alive and kicking, as I'd like to think we'll be back in a year or two. Enjoy! |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Slushpuppie Date: 06 Jan 08 - 08:57 PM i regret to say i wont be going =[ really wish i was havent seen any of you in a very long time!!!!! sorcha x |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Fibula Mattock Date: 07 Jan 08 - 04:43 AM Can't make it, as I think I said before - I'm moving house without the Hi Sorcha!!!! |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 08 - 08:27 AM So... a quick count up reveals Gulliver EmmaB Maryrrf Suzanne Gerry Leadfingers and Phillipa.... will be there. It's going to be a small gathering this year methinks. LTS |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Maryrrf Date: 07 Jan 08 - 09:18 AM Sorry, but I won't be going either. |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: John MacKenzie Date: 07 Jan 08 - 09:52 AM Terry said he wouldn't be there either, as he has an insurmountable transport problem. G. |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Catherine Jayne Date: 07 Jan 08 - 10:13 AM We won't be able to make it either this year but I have fond memories of Portaferry, and the music and madness! |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Slushpuppie Date: 07 Jan 08 - 10:49 AM hi fibs!!!!!!!! Shame you wont be there as it is for me =] Really wish i could go but have a great time anyway!!!!!! sorcha x |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 07 Jan 08 - 01:32 PM >> Terry said he wouldn't be there either, as he has an insurmountable transport problem. Did he loose his driving license due to his reckless driving? ;-) |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 08 - 02:22 PM And then there were 5.... Gulliver EmmaB Suzanne Gerry Phillipa LTS |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Gulliver Date: 07 Jan 08 - 02:37 PM I haven't seen Gerry for a while, so don't know whether he can come. If the group is going to be so small, there is hardly any point, is there? If someone would like to come to Ireland this year, there's a few sessions on here in Dublin every weekend and I don't mind showing folks around. Don |

Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 09 Jan 08 - 08:35 AM Slushtiger/Whitepuppie, "other matters" probably refers to "boys" ;-) How is the Cadbury fiddle? |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Slushpuppie Date: 09 Jan 08 - 08:54 AM Haha slushtiger i like that What boys?! Me ?! Neverrrrrr :o It is fine thankyou =]]] And how are you? XD Sorcha x x x |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Herge Date: 09 Jan 08 - 03:29 PM Hi should get up on the Sat for a tune or two with some of the others from Larne if its still going ahead. Herge |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Leadfingers Date: 09 Jan 08 - 03:34 PM Various things have combined to stop my involvement this year , though all things being equal I hope we can get things together for next year . |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Susanne (skw) Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:15 PM I'm sorry to say I too have to pull out. I'll probably be on a course in Berlin at the time. Would have been nice ... |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:23 PM And then there were 5.... Gulliver EmmaB Suzanne Gerry Phillipa Susanne removed, Philippa as well (see here), Gulliver seeing no point and Gerry not known, it looks like EmmaB meeting EmmaB ... I hope to be there next year though. |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 09 Jan 08 - 06:31 PM Uuups, got the information that EmmaB is not going as well. So the list is reduced to: |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Slushpuppie Date: 09 Jan 08 - 07:52 PM i also hope to be there next year aswell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =] |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Sorcha Date: 09 Jan 08 - 08:40 PM Looks like a Why Bother to me. |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: Emma B Date: 09 Jan 08 - 08:57 PM I'm sorry that no one thought to check with me before publishing my name here Andy, I had made my intentions known to my friends. I must send you the recipe for the Beef in Guinness I cooked for dinner last year, it's even better than chicken soup to aid recovery :) |
Subject: RE: Loughstock 2008 From: MudGuard Date: 10 Jan 08 - 04:09 AM >I'm sorry that no one thought to check with me before publishing my name here Andy, I had made my intentions known to my friends. Your last statement on this thread was "Thinking about coming over again, " ... >I must send you the recipe for the Beef in Guinness I cooked for dinner last year Yes please! |
