I think it's the Duke of Marlborough down Holywell Hill

Singing ref has started an e-mail reminder everyweek - if you PM him, I'm sure he'll add anyone to his list - the e-mail directs you to web sites and TV channels etc.

Dear Doctor - have you changed our thread into a dear deidre column

Hi Cathy - have you mastered polywollydoodle yet - dolly parton plays okay with all her nails

It's a Folk/tunes session tonight, although we've had lion taming a couple of times

Not many people admit to even noticing Dolly's nails (!) when she is performing.

I think I will write to Deidre

I'm a gentleman - be sides, Dolly's always very discreet

Hi Martin - we were in the main pub, back bar

It was boiling

I ate the smarties - but I'm still thick

I've listened to the Allan Taylor CD - am not sure if I am feeling melancholy or depressed - some brilliant songs though

The Bull domino team won 4-1 last night against the league leaders (yes,I was the one who lost - the shame)

Hi, I'm back - it's jolly cold again - frost abounds

Hi Ross

would you mind mentioning that the St Albans clubs are closing with George Papavgeris this Friday and Jeremy Taylor on Sunday -20 tkts already sold- both gigs at the Comfort Hotel

Guru had a very good night on Friday, she is coming on in leaps and bounds, well she does stand up to sing now.

have a good week

I hear D G was dissapointing and El G saved the gig

Hi John - I was very sorry to hear that the St Albans clubs are closing - they will be a great loss to the folk circuit

It sounds a bit of a stressful time - I hope things are well with you - you have produced a magic time for both folk music and laughter in your area

You and everyone in the St Albans area are always welcome in Barton-Le-Clay for a sing song and a pint

Sorry I missed Guru

Then come to St Albans, george papa on fri and jeremy taylor on Sunday 25 seats sold

Plus fleggy, have you seen his thread and heard his song Child of Africa?

then its off into the wilderness of W Is

From: Ross
Date: 22 Nov 05 - 06:16 AM

Hi John - thanks for the badgering - it least it makes me feel wanted

I'm sure Fleggy's song is brilliant - he is quite a talent

Still not sure why you're quitting again - don't you do this every three months - is it a publicity thing - are you really gonna do it - won't you miss it - what about the stable full of talent - where's it gonna go?

A reply in less than 10000 words will be acceptable

Good win for Luton against a railway junction last night

I was at Buntingford Sunday from 11am to 2pm - there was eleven present including catsphiddle, micca, Alan Francis and Jimmy Page

It must have been a good Saturday - there were a few hangovers

That sounds like it was good. We only lost 1-0 to Coventry, so they are not so bad. Watched Luton last night had a few great jokes, as I was drinking one of many "Titanic Ales" I said "That goes down easily" And when we where playing in the thick fog the score was 0-0 at the time I said. " I can't see us winning this one dude" Oh it's a laugh a minute.

Yeah - could be Stevi - I've been there till 1/2am before the law changed

Thanks for last night to all the regulars - John B, Bert, Pat, Keith, Eve and Trevor (accord) - the hardy few survive - many apologies for my lack of practice

I've seen a Luton football match in the fog - it must be where that Herbert fellow got the idea for the book

IT's the peak of the week

The Bull domino team won 3-2 last night, away in Barcelona

We were dumped out of the cup on Tuesday though, so life not all a bowl of cherries

We all drank until 3 am and fire bombed the high street - we've never done that before, but now the law has changed - what the hell

Nun joke reprise:

Novice nun gets pregnant after a year in the service - how can this be asks the mother superior - hasn't the priest been telling you about the evils of sin

Oh yes said the novice - he made me show my nether regions and called them the gates to heaven - then he lifted up his frock and showed me the key to open them

Well the little liar said the mother superior - he told me that was Gabriel's horn

Martin. well done to you - poor Eagles.

Have you seen Hans Theessink before? If so, marks out if 10? Is he one not to miss cos I can't decide whether to go and the publicity sounds great but can always be a bit biased.

nothing libellous, slanderous, implicatory or defamatory inferred.
