Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 07 Mar 05 - 01:37 PM Davetnova do you know any well behaved Scotsmen then? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Mary Humphreys Date: 07 Mar 05 - 02:45 PM Anahata (treewind) and I are coming to Miskin for the first time this year. Looking forward to meeting up with old friends and making new ones. Mary |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Big Al Whittle Date: 07 Mar 05 - 02:52 PM Are the SpinDwyers making an appearance this year? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 07 Mar 05 - 03:02 PM Oh yes indeedy. The Spindwyers are running the Friday night Folk Club. Have you not seen Miskinfolk |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Davetnova Date: 08 Mar 05 - 04:36 AM Mrs. D - Of course I do. As a reformed character I would never behave with anything except propriety and you know that I always dress with exquisite taste. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 08 Mar 05 - 01:13 PM What about the raffle idea? I've just ordered a really nice Easter Egg from Choc Express as my contribution. Anyone else gonna bring a prize? It's a worthwhile cause, charity info lower down on this page!! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Eye Lander Date: 08 Mar 05 - 01:22 PM I am sure I shall be able to come up with a prize for two Jillie |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: el_punkoid_nouveau Date: 08 Mar 05 - 03:01 PM This is REALLY important stuff! Andy - is it possible to arrange a television somewhere on site on Saturday 26th (or at least within easy distance)? I have just found out from here that (and this beats Royal Weddings, Funerals and even Coronations as an important event) the most important TV event for years will be happening... And the event is... The return of DR WHO! And let's face it - a video just won't be the same! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Eye Lander Date: 08 Mar 05 - 03:12 PM Television at a festival! Phew - it would have to be a pretty good reason! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Nigel Parsons Date: 08 Mar 05 - 03:25 PM el punkoid neuveau: You're really tempting fate there. I'm also a 'Filker' (folk music with a SF bias, often with parodied tunes) The temptation to produce a new 'Who Filk', based on a single episode would have to be resisted strongly. But as The Borg (Star Trek The Next Generation) would say: "Resistance is futile!" Nigel |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: el_punkoid_nouveau Date: 08 Mar 05 - 03:46 PM I ain't a filker, Nigel - I don't even like being branded as a "folkie", having wide and varied interests in music. But who can resist the temptation to hide behind the sofa, or stuff a cushion over their face? - as the Vogon guard would put it - "RESISTANCE IS USELESS!" (Well, the shouting was good...) epn |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 08 Mar 05 - 06:15 PM Having worked my life in Telly, who am I to deny the need for such an appliance? A suitable receiving apparatus could indeed, and shall indeed, be provided, but knowing the unpredictabilities of reception patterns I feel unable at this juncture to guarantee the prevaling signal strength in such a low lying area as the Mill surrounds. Notwithstanding the above reservations, I see no reason to deprive such as yourselves from the full enjoyment of a weekend with normal "folk thinking" people, and I am sure a suitable solution can be found. yours in joint who-ness, Andy |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Cllr Date: 08 Mar 05 - 07:23 PM I am a who fan I like all that Dr stuff cqt inthe hat the grinch that stole christmas oh sorry whats that wrong who wrong dr seriously I would love to see the new episode |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Richard Atkins Date: 08 Mar 05 - 09:32 PM Will have to bring the TV with the high gain caravan aerial then, better reception up the hill on the camp site. Miskin Man will have to change events to fit it in, and with luck provide a mini bus as well ! A tingly doctor moment then ! :>) |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: GUEST Date: 08 Mar 05 - 10:08 PM The Who at Miskin, Wow !!! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Splott Man Date: 09 Mar 05 - 03:50 AM What if I wanna watch Ant & Dec? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: RobbieWilson Date: 09 Mar 05 - 05:50 AM The Dr Who episode is already available to download s why interupt all the folking about? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 09 Mar 05 - 07:18 AM I hate to put a damper on this, but what time is the programme? Ted we are running a folk club on Saturday evening! Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: RobbieWilson Date: 09 Mar 05 - 10:14 AM I was definitely coming to Miskin but now I have seen the photos; everyone has a beard. I don't think I have time to grow one before then. Will they still let me in? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Dave Earl Date: 09 Mar 05 - 10:17 AM Beards are very common but I don't think they are obligatory:-) Dave |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 09 Mar 05 - 10:36 AM I say old chap! Nothing common about my beard, it may have shrunk over the last couple of years but its still part of the family. I hold nothing against those less fortunate, beardless, chappies I even let them come along to jolly old Miskin. Some of my best friends haven't got beards come to think of it - there's My Guru, Scooby doo,MBS Lynne,Cats at work, Morticia - I could go on......(Have been known to go on a bit, don't you know!!) |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Dave Earl Date: 09 Mar 05 - 11:32 AM Andy, Your beard may have shrunk but mine has grown a bit. Did I sleep through the transplant or was I drunk again? Dave |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: RobbieWilson Date: 09 Mar 05 - 11:55 AM You see this is part of my dilemma. I might come, clean shaven and fresh faced then over night someones beard shrinks and I wake up all fuzzy and unable to recognize myself in the morning. Do you have to drink alcohol at Miskin also? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Eye Lander Date: 09 Mar 05 - 11:56 AM If you wont grow one Robbie neither will I. Jillie |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Eye Lander Date: 09 Mar 05 - 11:59 AM most do try sample the alcohol over the weekend, it's more like medicine to be taken at regular intervals. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 09 Mar 05 - 12:25 PM You don't have to drink alcohol you could just give it to me :0) |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Scooby Doo Date: 09 Mar 05 - 12:29 PM Mrs Duck, i think we should share it between friends,say 5 other people???? Scooby |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 09 Mar 05 - 03:10 PM Yes Robbie, I'm afraid that the consumption of alcohol is compulsory...sorry to have to tell you that. However, the beard isn't...I'm looking forward to meeting you, and now I know I'll recognize you..the only man without a beard! Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Scooby Doo Date: 09 Mar 05 - 03:57 PM I am sure we can borrow Toby's television for the weekend Ted especially as i have it in my flat,the aerial will be the problem butRichard can bring his aerial down to the Mill you will be away.Scooby |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: GUEST,Seaking Date: 09 Mar 05 - 07:53 PM Not sure about this TV thing but I'm sure looking forward to the first rendition of 'Rollin down the river'.. 'Tent poles up, tent poles down'..... Andy - have you ordered good weather ? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Eye Lander Date: 10 Mar 05 - 02:04 AM Hear Hear! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 10 Mar 05 - 02:58 AM Standard booking gone in as usual - good weather, good beer, good company, who could ask for more. ( Hmm, more beer ?? ) |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 10 Mar 05 - 05:07 AM You forgot good music Andy! And good cider of course! Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Morticia Date: 10 Mar 05 - 11:01 AM that's 'tent goes up, tent falls down', Chris....and we thought everyone might be tired of it by now...... |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: My guru always said Date: 10 Mar 05 - 02:04 PM How could we tire of your Miskin song Morti Dear? Such a poignant memory, bring a tear to my eye.... Now, where's that shaving kit?? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Phot Date: 10 Mar 05 - 05:35 PM I don't have a beard anymore! But I do have a Pixie! A Triumph, and a very shiney Disco! Life is good, and will be even better at Miskin. Shame about the double chin though! Wassail!! Chris |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Eye Lander Date: 10 Mar 05 - 06:30 PM I took me ages to realise what was different about you when we were at Sidmouth then i saw a photo of when I first saw you - Bridgenorth 2002 and you were sporting a beard. Jillie |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Eye Lander Date: 10 Mar 05 - 06:32 PM Terri, Tent up or Down it's an excellent song Jillie |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: GUEST,Seaking Date: 10 Mar 05 - 10:16 PM Sorry Morti, I stand corrected. I put it down to never having heard it sober !! Anyway, it's an Anthem now so you have to do it.. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 11 Mar 05 - 03:26 AM Chris, do you mean you've never heard it when you were sober? Or you've never heard her sing it when she was sober? Or both? I haven't heard the full thing...I only heard about it after the event so it's another thing to look forward to Love Lynne |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 11 Mar 05 - 05:27 AM Third try at posting this. I put a small snippet of "Camping by the River" on the mill camposite part of the Miksinfolk site. But here is a shortcut. I recorded it at the Silly songs Session in the Anchor at Sidmouth last year. Come to Miskin to hear the real thing. "Camping by the River" |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Scooby Doo Date: 11 Mar 05 - 11:11 AM Do you mean to say we have to come to Miskin and enjoy ourselves Miskin Man???????? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Andy Jackson Date: 11 Mar 05 - 11:21 AM Who said anything about enjoyment? I've always said this Folk stuff is a serious business!! scuse the spelling in the last post by the way it took many goes to post that message and I got fed up retyping it. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Scooby Doo Date: 11 Mar 05 - 11:34 AM Ok,I dont mind some of that serious business then.It sounds good to me. |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 11 Mar 05 - 12:34 PM I take my fun VERY seriously!!! |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 11 Mar 05 - 03:14 PM So this means we can also do some serious drinking then? |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: GUEST,Seaking Date: 11 Mar 05 - 03:16 PM I got the Title wrong too so proves how sober I was ! Diplomacy dictates Terri will have to comment on her own condition. Good clip of the song Andy.. It's just been pointed out to me that the kids are still at School on Thursday (The day before Good Friday - how are families supposed to get away for Easter ?) so my original travelling plans are in chaos now. What is the M25/M4 usually like on Good Friday or alternatively M6/M5? Chris |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: MBSLynne Date: 11 Mar 05 - 03:43 PM My kids break up on Friday 18th.....Easter is always in the middle of the Easter holiday round here. No problem for us... |
Subject: RE: Miskin at Easter 2005 From: Scooby Doo Date: 11 Mar 05 - 03:54 PM What time are you coming down Chris on the M25/M4. Yas |
