Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: lady penelope Date: 01 Dec 01 - 06:23 PM You do realise the same sick person did another three books of dead cats don't you ? Apparently you can get all four books as one now. Should be in stores in time for Xmas! 'Ere MudGuard, it's a terrible thing for your T to be missing something. Is it your toast, crumpets or scones? Do say and I'll try to get some to you! *BG* TTFN M'Lady P.
"Xmas is coming (As sent to me in a Xmas card 4-5 years ago, honest!) |

Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: John MacKenzie Date: 01 Dec 01 - 06:00 AM Talking about cats, animals of which I am not too fond. Has anybody still got a copy of the hilarious book from the 70s or thereabouts, called something like "101 uses for a dead cat". I know of course that you are all far too young to remember that far back. *BG* Jock |

Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Tone d' F Date: 30 Nov 01 - 05:15 AM Don't offer a cat to Feret, every time he visits my cat mugs him for attention, so saying he'll be so busy with the cat it'll stop him singing |

Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Steve Parkes Date: 29 Nov 01 - 12:21 PM They used to do one--Roger will remember this--with a sandblasted picture on the metal body, and another one similar with three small resonators; one was called "style O" and the other was called "style T". Or am I thinking of something else? Steve |

Or maybe it's someone else, a secretive siren ....or....er..... something........ : ) + sheep TTFN M'Lady P. |

The pickled eggs will go well with the sausages! Maybe we should designate someone as C.M.O.T. Dibbler for the weekend? 'Ere MudGuard, what do you buy the masochist who's got everything? Savlon! Kazoo at the ready, Roger, wilko and out..... TTFN M'Lady P.

Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Matthew Edwards Date: 20 Nov 01 - 08:31 AM A New Song for The Gathering Let me wake up in the morning to the sound of kazoos humming, And the merry whirr of toothbrushes to greet the dawning day. The thumping of the cloggies will set the floors a-drumming, As I stumble over sleeping bags to wash my sins away! How I long to spend the daytime 'mid the sounds of voices singing, As all along the High Street 'Catters sing, and dance, and play. In the pubs of Stony Stratford sweet harmonies'll be ringing, While on Horsefair Green a hamster's guiding John from Hull astray! In the evening the 'Catscratch Band will send my feet a-leaping, Until the dancing's over, and the last notes fade away. Then I'll climb the stairs of York House where I hope I'll soon be sleeping, And I'll count the sheep with Eric, and thus end a happy day.

Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 20 Nov 01 - 06:34 AM (Off message or thread creep but might get to the right people). I was talking to Rick Fielding on the 'phone ("friends all over the world, none in this country but...) about his 2002 UK tour (probably September).His contacts are working on booking him gigs in Scotland , The North of England and Midlands but nothing further South. Any club organisers among you might like to PM him, I'm not in touch with the folk club scene myself, but if you can get him to Reading, MK or environs South wouldn't it be great? RtS (this one's another dreamer, <>I dream I can sing!) |

Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 20 Nov 01 - 06:20 AM ewwww... I'm worried about the lumps... they don't call cider mad apples for nothing |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 20 Nov 01 - 05:31 AM Oh, and there's Ken's Charity Pickled Onions/Eggs... consumption may be compulsory. |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: The_one_and_only_Dai Date: 20 Nov 01 - 05:22 AM Ella, you won't get any of those beers round here. You will, however, get Addlestone's cider, lumps optional. You have been warned... |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Ella who is Sooze Date: 20 Nov 01 - 04:25 AM Right, ok... here's the gas... Me and Fib are working on our folky beards, looking for a tankard and working on actually liking the taste of Old Peculiar, Speckledy Hen or Mothers wallop beers... Both thinking about coming along... And I think I'll even purchase a kazoo, only if I can get one of those nice silver ones... Cider me up landlord! |

Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: MudGuard Date: 20 Nov 01 - 01:34 AM Eric, where will the doctors fix a third hand on you? In case I should forget (which is probably the case) to say so just before the operation: good luck. Could somebody please tell the anesthesist that he should not order Eric to count sheep for falling asleep, as this has the effect of exciting Eric instead of making him tired. ;-) Noreen, did Eric ever look for something else? Gareth, no need to be sorry; thanks for the explanation of a Whip Round - none of my dictionaries is good enough for such expressions... So what do masocists use as a similar expression? A Wadding Round? Btw, I just found a long-forgotten piggybank holding enough money for transport to London which once again increases the chances that I will come! MudGuard |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Noreen Date: 19 Nov 01 - 07:48 PM The Whip may be needed for Rounding up the sheep? Eric, you're only looking for sympathy (again!!). Aaaah, there, there.... and you'll not be playing, will you? |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Gareth Date: 19 Nov 01 - 06:34 PM Sorry Andreas Its holding an impromtu collection between friends to pay for something. Very much colloqueal (sic) Saxon. Hence " It was the Masocists Birthday, so his friends had a Whip Round for him " Gareth |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: MudGuard Date: 19 Nov 01 - 05:39 PM Sorry for my ignorance, Gareth, but what is a Whip Round? |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Gareth Date: 19 Nov 01 - 03:13 PM Y'all I think we may have the insurance PL £2 Mill cracked, now sorting it out with Dai. If a Whip Round is needed Dai or I will post. Gareth |

Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Eric the Viking Date: 19 Nov 01 - 02:47 PM I am due an operation on my hand on Jan 10th-hope to be fit enough for the weekend. Cheers Eric |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 19 Nov 01 - 01:16 PM Yes lets go for the Stony Stratford kazoo ensemble!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Stony Stratford Gathering 8/9/10 Feb 2002 From: Fibula Mattock Date: 19 Nov 01 - 12:31 PM I'll go if Ella goes (for solidarity purposes!) and if RtS brings his kazoo. In fact, I'll bring mine! |
