Subject: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 19 May 01 - 06:46 AM The YORKSHIRE GATHERING is well up and running. See here for a blue clicky some photos Have fun! We are!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Eric the Viking Date: 19 May 01 - 09:18 AM Looking good Geoff. See you in about 1 1/2 hours. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST Date: 19 May 01 - 09:31 AM Dear me!!! You don't look too happy??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Llanfair Date: 19 May 01 - 10:12 AM You look as though you're having a great time!!!! Is that Beer FOR REAL????????? Lots of faces I don't know, so I await the introductions with bated breath!! Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: lady penelope Date: 19 May 01 - 03:55 PM I reckon the beer's the reason for the red eye, your all going to be turned into folkie zombies by the end of the weekend!!!!! Hang on, isn't that what normally happens after a long folkie weekend? Ah, so it's all going to plan. Good. I like it when a plan comes together. TTFN M'Lady P. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 19 May 01 - 04:13 PM Yearning for captions..... (I see Micca, Ian, Sam, but who are the rest of you?) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: lady penelope Date: 19 May 01 - 04:16 PM Yeah, yeah, apart from Micca I don't know nobody !! M'Lady P. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 19 May 01 - 04:19 PM And Bill! There you are, Bill- I wondered if the place could open without you! Pour me some of that Mudcat beer, please? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 19 May 01 - 05:12 PM I'll try to get some captions done during the week. I have had to retire home early after twisting my ankle at around 3pm today. I have been to casualty, and nothing is broken. It was diagnosed as ligament damage, and the doctor told me to continue doing what I have been doing since the fall (and I don't mean Autumn in America). I said "What! Limp???". As for the beer, the "Mudcat DT's" has been absolutely excellent. Shortly before I left, Syd had to change the second barrel. We had supped two times 18 gallons, and there is only another 18 in two nine gallon barrels. It may last through part of the evening, but there will definitely not be any going to waste. We were still hoping that somebody might turn up with a laptop computer which has a working microphone socket (unlike ours, where we can listen on paltalk, but not broadcast). Tyke may have brought one with him, but I was busy being strapped up when he arrived, so we hadn't had opportunity to ask him before I was transported home. Jane has returned for the end of the ceilidh, so if she gets it sorted you will be informed on our other current thread YORKSHIRE GATHERING ONLINE. Our original plan was to finish the ceilidh at 10.00pm and get on paltalk at around 10.30pm (British Summer Time) about 5.30 ESB mudcat time. I will be watching out and hoping to be with them in spirit if no longer in person. quack With sore ankle Geoff the Duck.

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: roopoo Date: 20 May 01 - 04:39 AM Just to start the introductions if I may, the person in the green polo neck jumper sitting opposite Micca, and with the long hair and big hooter is me!!! The bearded guy on the left of him in the hat is Badger, and the lass in the Mudcat shirt across from me and right of Micca is Tig. The lady in the yellow shirt sitting in the corner is Mrs. Duck. The tall lad by the bar dangling beer glasses is Sam Pirt, and that's Magician on his left. Oh, and on the tables may be seen some of Val's excellent food. Behind the bar are Jason and the now very famous Syd. Andrea |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: AllisonA(Animaterra) Date: 20 May 01 - 06:21 AM That helps a lot, mouldy- thanks! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 20 May 01 - 01:31 PM The third barrel pulled off at 11pm last night and the fourth was well down by lunchtime. It was beautiful stuff!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 20 May 01 - 08:36 PM By the way. Does anyone know anything about Mica's Tankard????? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: bill\sables Date: 21 May 01 - 06:51 AM I've got it |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Noreen Date: 21 May 01 - 08:32 AM So it was just wishful thinking that he'd left it in my tent? :0) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: bill\sables Date: 21 May 01 - 09:06 AM Noreen, do you think we should put Micca's tankard into the auction and make the bugger buy it back? Bill |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Les from Hull Date: 21 May 01 - 09:11 AM I'm sure that if he had anything in it he'd have known exactly where it was! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST,magician using loki Date: 21 May 01 - 01:49 PM 2 18's & 3 9's of Mudcat, 1 9 of Just For You, 1 9 of How Now and Micca did the cider a lot of damage. That's pretty good going. Just got home and looking forward to Chester Festival next weekend where I shall no doubt see some of you again. are you sure you have Micca's pot Bill? I thought Badger and Tig had it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tig Date: 21 May 01 - 02:21 PM This may or may not be true! What's it worth to find out:-)))? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Cobble Date: 21 May 01 - 02:37 PM How many tankards has Micca? 'cos I thought the one I have here was his!!!! Wow!!! what a weekend, Good music, good weather, yummy food, Mudcat DT's ale and best of all nice people. Cobble and I were the last to leave at 3pm Monday. I'm sure all who attended will join me in a BIG thank you to Sid, Val and staff for a great weekend. Mrs C. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Noreen Date: 21 May 01 - 10:19 PM I have Spartacus's tankard... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: roopoo Date: 22 May 01 - 02:54 AM I'll re-echo the votes of thanks; took some organising, but it all worked out and everyone should be proud of themselves. Pity I had to miss Sunday, but I had to be elsewhere. Andrea |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Linda Kelly Date: 22 May 01 - 03:10 AM No I have Spartacus's tankard!!! (rehash of old joke0 |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Micca Date: 22 May 01 - 03:49 AM Will all those who Think they have my tankard PM me, and I will make arrangements about retieving my precious treasure Before The Festival season starts!!!!!!! as without this ESSENTIAL piece of kit the necessary lubrication may be absent and prevent me singing( so that may be a method to shut me up!!!) But more seriously, A real big Thank you to all.Especially Mrs Duck, Syd and Val, and Bill/sables, for there friendship and the sheer fun of it all, and to Mouldy for the "tour" and showing me some new things and Novel experiences!! and for the Lovely bottle of wine!!. I will try and write a longer description of what the Gathering was like later...I have got back to ground enough yet... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 22 May 01 - 07:29 AM I'm a bit worried about these novel experiences Does Ian know??? Don't worry Micca I have your tankard at school with me unless those two kids I just saw running away from my car now have it! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: bill\sables Date: 22 May 01 - 07:36 AM I have to come clean Micca I don't have your Tankard I did have it. but I don't have it now, on the other hand I do still have the handle from your tankard but where the rest of it went is a mystery to me. I will gladly send you the handle when I get back from the USA. It's such a famous handle that I am sure Max, Bert, Rick, Ctaspaw, and the other US catters would love to see it. Bill |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 22 May 01 - 08:04 AM I definitely do not have anybody's tankard, but I do have a right foot which is about 15 shades of purple, and about twice the size of my left one. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Les from Hull Date: 22 May 01 - 08:07 AM Are we talking about a silvery metal container, holding about one Imperial pint, with a handle on one side? No, haven't seen it. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 22 May 01 - 08:18 AM No Les, I was talking about a long thing, about 12 inches with purple toes! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 22 May 01 - 08:19 AM Mudcat Gathering Photos I would like to get a selection of photos from the weekend gathered together on a corner of my "Almost" web site, with suitable captions and names. Because of my abrupt departure, I do not have much other than FRIDAY EVENING. If you have taken any suitable snaps PLEASE send copies to me so I can compile an online record of the gathering. Also, any anecdotes from the weekend might be of interest. Post them elsewhere, by all mmeans, but please send me a copy also. Many Quacks!!!! Geoff the (lame) Duck.

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 22 May 01 - 08:38 AM The travels (travails?) of Micca's tankard seem to be acquiring the status of a Grail Quest. Can a ballad be far behind? RtS (the only ballad I know is the Ballad of Bethnal Green!) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Patrish(inactive) Date: 22 May 01 - 09:29 AM I thought I had Miccas' tankard - or at least bits of it. I'll bring them to the Jug tomorrow night. Someone said they had the handle, well I have a rim, perhaps we can fit all the pieces together and come up with one whole complete vessel! Patrish xx |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Bagpuss Date: 22 May 01 - 10:03 AM So, it wasn't Micca's tankard that was crushed under the wheels of my mini as I left? Someone else's? If we collect all the bits together, I'm sure the mice will fix it and put it in the shop window so that Micca can come along and find it again.... Bagpuss |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST,Lanfranc at the orifice Date: 22 May 01 - 11:12 AM The poisoned pellet was in the vessel with the pestle The chalice from the palace held the brew that was true This is all a smokescreen - the tankard dissolved in consequence of having been filled with cider shandy once too often! (AND it was stainless steel, as I remember.) Sorry about the foot, Geoff, but we all had a good trip, and didn't see why you should be left out, being local and all. Also sorry you had the wrong kind of trip, an understandable mistake, under the circumstances.
|
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tig Date: 22 May 01 - 12:08 PM Sorry Micca. I DID have the missing tankard, then Firecat saw that photo ....... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 22 May 01 - 01:14 PM I think I have the base, the Wombat has a new ashtray! On amore serious note Mrs Duck I would like to talk to you about the "Incident" on the A19, my mobile is 07796 253621, could you give me a call. Thanks Raggytash |

Had a great weekend everyone. We officially closed at 1pm on Monday lunchtime. Then I made the long 5 mile drive home!! And proceeded to return to the jug after uni that evening!! Nice to have met you all. I shall see you all sometime soon I hope. I miss you all already!! :( Emma xxx |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Linda Kelly Date: 22 May 01 - 05:10 PM OK Micca, put fifty quid in a used brown envelope under the clock on platform 4 Paddington Station......OR THE TANKARD GET'S IT ............... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tig Date: 22 May 01 - 06:01 PM It's disappeared into the deep pit Firecat calls her bedroom!!! The last thing that emerged from there was a life force from a different planet - and I don't mean her. When and where is your next festival/outing with the Moragon Micca? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 22 May 01 - 06:06 PM Oh dear! You'll never believe what those two babies just did in your tankard, Micca and it says on the milton not to use of stainless steel!:) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Micca Date: 22 May 01 - 06:34 PM So, Alright, WHO really does have my beautiful Stainless steel tankard,??? and remember Firecat " Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizards"( or long established "practitioners") because energy flows both ways and evil intent can rebound remember also ....... "The Rules clear as water strong as air Our guide. Seek not justice lest you get it Seek not revenge lest as its source you receive it for revenge is circular returning whence it came Personal gain puts many things beyond reach only the price remains hidden, some stakes are too high, all outcomes are not understood or clear. But if you would catch a knife in your teeth your nerve must be good and your eye steady" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: bill\sables Date: 22 May 01 - 06:43 PM Micca,If you go to the top of this thread you will see your tankard on photos 3 and 7 just in front of you. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Cobble Date: 22 May 01 - 07:14 PM Dont worry Micca your tankard has just left Manchester airport bound for.....? Cobble. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Liz the Squeak Date: 22 May 01 - 07:32 PM Do not meddle in the affairs of Wizzards for they can fart not at all subtly and are mostly noxious. The next Morrigan outing is this weekend at Conway Hall, Red Lion Square, London. I have limited bed space left. Next one up shares with Phoebe..... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tyke Date: 22 May 01 - 08:22 PM After reading the thread from Liz the squeak could someone going to the Jug tomorrow send my apology to the Horse. I thought it was the Horse that was farting all night! So I picked up a tankard I found lying around the campsite and through it at him! Do you think it could have been…………….!!!! :-) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: roopoo Date: 23 May 01 - 02:31 AM And I thought it was merely Eggborough power station's boilers venting! Living where I do, across the road from one pub, just over the river from the Jug, and down the road from the power station, one accepts deep rumblings and roarings as part of life's rich pattern. The tankard will do nicely for a birthday present for Ian - if I can ever get the cider smell out of it. Would Domestos help? I could always use Jeyes fluid. (It works a treat on the yard where the dogs "go"!) Andrea

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Linda Kelly Date: 23 May 01 - 03:53 AM Micca, P& O ferries are now using it for the Hull -Rotterdam crossing.... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Les from Hull Date: 23 May 01 - 06:48 AM A funny thing happened last night. I was just dropping off to sleep and I heard this ethereal music, all harps and sopranos, and there was this sweet perfumey small, and then something slowly materialised in front of me, something that floated in mid-air on a golden tray. I couldn't exactly make out what it was, because it was covered over by a finely embroidered damask cloth, but I would estimate that it was about five or six inches high, maybe four across, and probably made from some costly silvery metal. Do you think...? Les |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Patrish(inactive) Date: 23 May 01 - 06:57 AM I do sometimes............ Patrish |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: John J Date: 23 May 01 - 08:06 AM Tha's pissed again Les.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Micca Date: 23 May 01 - 10:14 AM *******MISSING****** **********Stolen or Strayed********** In the vicinity of the "Jug Inn" Chapel Haddelsey, Yorkshire UK, on Sunday 20 May 01 *******The Holy Grail( aka Miccas tankard)******* Standard British pint , stainless steel, tankard slightly scratched on outside...had recently contained Cider.. This essential piece of Festival equipment is sadly missed and mourned in its home, finder please contact the above by PM,and help restore this Intrinsically valueless but sentimentally very precious companion and friend to its rightful place and owner...who is pining... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Skipjack K8 Date: 23 May 01 - 10:31 AM Well, I saw it Monday morning, from the M62, making sail down the Aire & Calder Navigation, three leagues out from Chapel Haddleseyt, heading for the North Sea! Are ye payin' salvage, Micca? Skipjack |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 23 May 01 - 12:42 PM The owner's pining? I thought it was micca's tankard. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Les from Hull Date: 23 May 01 - 01:02 PM Why all the mystery about micca (aka pining)'s tankard. Any self-respecting tankard would obviously wish to stay in the North where it can fulfil its mission of being filled with quality beverages. Why would it want to journey back to London? If you give your tankard freedom it might stay a while... Les |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Eric the Viking Date: 23 May 01 - 01:09 PM Oh shi*, as i was driving to school on Tuesday, in my absent minded state I ran over a silvers, metalic objects which was squashed beneath the wheels of my car, don't know if it was your tankard, but I thought I'd seen this thing before somewhere in Wales last year. Might have been a dream!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST,raggytash Date: 23 May 01 - 02:02 PM Mrs Duck, could you please contact me re incident on the A19 Mobile 07796 253 621. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: JeZeBeL Date: 23 May 01 - 02:29 PM The Badger has just made me a nice new shiny stainless steel badge engraved with JeZeBeL on it. He didn't charge me anything as he said it was just some old piece of scrap metal he found.....what if.........;) Emma xxx |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 23 May 01 - 06:55 PM My Word Micca, Your ex tankard could acquire the spiritual semblance of the true holy grail. The bit that the Wombat is using as an ashtray could double as a sepulchre. May the fourth be with you (sic) |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: roopoo Date: 24 May 01 - 02:03 AM I suspect that having become a little the worse for wear, it may have acquired a slight dent that resembles a spout. Anybody searched the ceilings of the pub? Andrea |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: The Badger Date: 24 May 01 - 06:06 AM Sory Micca - took your tankard for a night out with Paul and War sat on it,oopps! But he said he had a good night on the peace! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: John J Date: 24 May 01 - 06:56 AM And I thought it was just a funny shapes teapot. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST,Ickle Dorritt Date: 24 May 01 - 07:03 AM Latest tankard news -apparently it is now standing in the general election against Michael Portillo - so you may not see it again for another 4 or 5 years -other than on Prime Minister's Question Time |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Les from Hull Date: 24 May 01 - 07:43 AM I read somewhere on the Web that an object that appeared to be something like Micca's tankard was being worshipped as a god by the savage Neringi-Berber tribe of Africa. And as we all know, everything you read on the Web is true. Les |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: selby Date: 24 May 01 - 03:26 PM Well the camper's packed and we are ready for the gathering at the Jug this weekend, looking forward to seing you all. Keith |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 24 May 01 - 04:28 PM Well we'll be there Keith!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tig Date: 24 May 01 - 04:50 PM That was a quick year! We're down at Chester but I bet the beer is not a patch on Mudcat DTs. Is a treasure hunt with metal detectors organised to see if Miccas tankard got buried with those who didn't survive all weekend? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: roopoo Date: 25 May 01 - 02:44 AM What was it you told me you were washing at the Time Team dig recently, Tig...? No, it would have had to enter a time-warp. (But of course we ARE talking about Micca's tankard)! Andrea |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST,micca at work Date: 25 May 01 - 05:31 AM Andrea, the problem doesnt seem to be getting it into the time warp, but getting it out of it!!!!! "..Its just a jump to the left, then a step to the ri-i-ight, put your hands on your hips..... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 25 May 01 - 10:12 AM All together now! LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN Quack!!!!! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: John J Date: 25 May 01 - 12:01 PM Better still, let's do the Jug again! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 25 May 01 - 12:23 PM Oh we will, we will!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 25 May 01 - 12:25 PM Damn time warps! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Les from Hull Date: 25 May 01 - 12:26 PM Is that you Mrs Duck or is Mrs Doyle? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 25 May 01 - 12:34 PM Is Mrs Doyle Mrs Duck? Should we submit to the polygamy thread? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: GUEST Date: 25 May 01 - 03:18 PM So I duly arived where were you all just a bl***y beer festival, Sid said Mudcat was last week so I went home. Keith |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Firecat Date: 25 May 01 - 09:18 PM Micca, what do you take me for?!? I'm not THAT stupid (even though I frequently do a good impression of it!)! |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: lady penelope Date: 26 May 01 - 07:29 AM Could this be a message from on high Micca? Renounce cider and embrace the path of light - ale! If anyone needs a bed for the night if they want to come down Conway Hall ( London Beltane Bash , with the Morrigan etc.) I have a couch and some floor space. TTFN M'Lady P. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Linda Kelly Date: 26 May 01 - 09:02 AM Sorry, I've always wanted to know -Do Pagans wear Jesus sandals? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Dave the Gnome Date: 26 May 01 - 03:49 PM Did Jesus wear Pagan sandals??? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Joan from Wigan Date: 27 May 01 - 01:35 AM Did he drink out of Micca's tankard? (through the timewarp...)
Whether or no, I have received confirmation that Micca's tankard will definitely be coming to the Lancashire mini-gathering at Coppull next weekend (see revived thread). |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 28 May 01 - 10:26 AM I am afraid that Jane and myself were forced (they pointed a barrel at our glasses), to stop over at the Jug last night for Syd's beer festival. The caRAVAN IS STUCK THERE UNTIL MY FOOT IMPROVES. (oH BUGGER THE CAPS LOCK!!!!). There were some excellent beers on, but they were disappearing rapidly. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Mrs.Duck Date: 28 May 01 - 12:10 PM In fact we have decided to stay over on Wednesday night as well after the session. Did the gathering ever really end!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: John Routledge Date: 29 May 01 - 09:41 AM Just got back home from Jug via Chester Festival. Many thanks to all concerned with Gathering. It was absolutely superb. Roll on next one!! GB |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: davel Date: 29 May 01 - 10:33 AM Hi all.... I'm new to the scene but me and my girlfriend managed to get to the Jug over the weeken ( My girlfriend Jane was with her niece Claire at the celeidh on Sat night and I'm led to beleive they entertained you with some dancing???!!)Anyway you taught them a song bout "10 constipated men i the bible" and Jane has not stopped talking bout it since. Any chance of the lyrics this would make one young (ish) lady extremely happy and gain yours truly muchas brownie points. We call in the Jug most nights for drink. I think Jezebel may already have this request in hand but if anybody could e them to me at lowerydavid@hotmail.com I would be A extremely grateful and B. delighted to buy you a pint. Thanks for all the fun and we look forward to seeing many of you at the Beverley Folk Festival. You've certainly got us hooked. Dave Lowery |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Noreen Date: 29 May 01 - 11:49 AM Hi Dave! Glad you all enjoyed the weekend, as we did. It wasn't me who sang that particular song, but I could hazard a guess who it was...and he will perhaps surface with the words at some stage. Until then, it is mentioned in a thread here: LYR/REQ: the 10 constipated men in the bible (click here) and FIVE CONSTIPATED MEN (click) is in the DT database. Noreen (email sent) |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tig Date: 31 May 01 - 04:58 PM I haven't made it back to the Jug since the gathering due to the fact I was abandoned at Chester Festival.... but that's another story. Has anyone heard about Micca tankard? Rumour hath it that it was found PREGNANT!!!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: magician Date: 01 Jun 01 - 05:29 AM the saab decided to blow up it's clutch and gearbox 15 miles from the chester [[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[ (that was ha'pennies contribution) festival so we got the nice green flag people to take us there instead of home. we arrived in style with saab on the back of a recovery vehicle with the caravan on tow. great festival as it is every year. tuesday made arrangements for the car to be picked up and repaired on the wednesday. badger got a lift to halifax from one of the bradshaw mummers and then used public transport methods to get home to pick up his car to return and reclaim tig and their gear but had to fix his car first. he wasn't able to finish it until wednesday and got back to the festival site on wednesday evening so i had to look after tig. saab is mended and runing properly now (fingers crossed). tig and badger will probablt tell you in more detail. bye for now daffydd |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tig Date: 01 Jun 01 - 05:59 PM Yes, but Daffydd didn't add that HE abandoned me in The Royal Oak whilst he went off with the landlord (to the nearest hole-in-the-wall). Luckily there was plenty of Hook Norton to console myself with. |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Micca Date: 07 Jun 01 - 06:51 AM For lo, a plain brown box arrived in the post and when 'twas opened Golden light ( as of finest Cider in the sunlight) poured forth and in the clear Golden light was revealed the simple elegant ,silvery lines of the Grail(aka Miccas Tankard)and it has returned to its damask lined box in the sanctuary to await its refilling with the Power of the Mighty Cider,in the mystical ceremony of "going to the pub" and Festivalling,,,, What I dont understand is how it got covered in lipstick marks and little stickers, saying, Glastonbury, Frinton, Oban, Penzance, Ynys Mon, Tintagel, Grimsby,and many more,and references to festivals that I have not attended, like Chippenham and Copull, and is redolent of the aromas of strange brews. It seems to have travelled widely, unaccompanied, and been popular, I wonder if its been singing???... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Geoff the Duck Date: 07 Jun 01 - 08:33 AM Glad to hear that you have been reunited. I hear rumours that the tankard has been participating in a little Nookie whilst on its travels and was expecting a small addition when it was posted off!!!! Is the new arrival a boy or girl, and have you wetted its pate? Quack!! GtD |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: John Routledge Date: 07 Jun 01 - 01:49 PM Delighted to hear that the Prodigal Tankard has returned. As you can't smack it's bottom (Not PC you know)you had better wet it's bottom instead. Happy Reunited Quaffing |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tig Date: 07 Jun 01 - 01:55 PM I am glad to hear that it has safely returned, but WHERE has it been inbetween festivals and WHAT has it been up to? |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Micca Date: 07 Jun 01 - 02:24 PM And the addition is Female (I always thought ny tankard was Male!!!!) and may be going to be called the Holy Gail, may she never be empty (or her mother)anyone know the father??? I think it(and we) should be told!! |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Gervase Date: 08 Jun 01 - 09:58 AM Omigod! Chippenham! It's all coming back to me...visions of this northen loony with an evil grin peddling her "Arkwright's Instant Irrigation Clinic" around the festival - an attraction which featured a length of rubber tubing, some soapy water and a stainless steel vessel looking suspiciously like the one in those pix. i don't want to worry you Micca me old mucker, but... |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Micca Date: 11 Jun 01 - 08:54 PM Sorry about the delay with this but my computer has been playing silly buggers..anyone want to contribute verses please feel free.. The Yorkshire Gathering (Tune Holy Ground) By Micca Fare thee well my lovely Tankard And the Jug likewise adieu I am going a way from the Yorlshire mob That we from the mudcat knew We have drunk DT and cider Until we were quite full But still we hopes to see again Nutty M and Les from Hull, fine girl you are We started on the Friday With a splendid sing around And no one sung Wild Rover Or yet the Holy ground But we drank DT and cider and other stuff as well and one day we'll return again to the lovely JeZeBeL fine girl you are At Lunch time on the Saturday With Llanfranc and Geordie Broon We sang of whales, we sang of ships And how they both went down But we drank DT and cider and shorts and pints quite big and one day we'll return again with Mouldy, Patrish and Tig fine girls you are That evening was the the ceilidh With Sam and Ian and Bill and Skip and Spot and Noreen and the dancers danced their fill But they drank DT and cider That they'd hauled up from the Jug and one day we'll return again to dance with Mrs Duck fine girl you are So now were scattering homewards and this gatherings at an end and we are cast adrift again from our new found, long lost friends and the secrets of my mind my friends is the same as it was before that some day we may meet again Inside the Jug once more.. Fine guys you are |

Subject: RE: BS: Yorkshire Gathering Mudlarks From: Tig Date: 12 Jun 01 - 08:27 AM Have you told Les he's changed sex? Or has the shock of finding the Holy Grail was female affected your thoughts??:-))) |
