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.

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!

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!"

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...)

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

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 !   :>)

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?

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!!)

Andy,

Your beard may have shrunk but mine has grown a bit.

Did I sleep through the transplant or was I drunk again?

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?

most do try sample the alcohol over the weekend, it's more like medicine to be taken at regular intervals.

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!

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

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.

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?
