Subject: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 25 Nov 04 - 07:11 AM Next meeting=next thursday, 8ish, marlborough club, newstead street. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 25 Nov 04 - 07:28 AM jOhn, is this now combined with the East Yorks turtle mocking society? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 25 Nov 04 - 07:30 AM no, there a different group to us. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 25 Nov 04 - 10:11 AM Glad about that jOhn, turtles already suffer enough mockery. So what bait do you use for badgers? I reckon a shaving brush would do it, put it in a cage and when the badger checks to if it's one of its relatives - BANG. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Dave Bryant Date: 25 Nov 04 - 10:38 AM Whale Nuking is much more fun. Greenpeace member genocide is the only more enjoyable pastime. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Davetnova Date: 25 Nov 04 - 10:56 AM Can you tie a chain round one's head for me I can wear it with me kilt and have a shitting good sporran. I promise I'll bait it mercilessly. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 25 Nov 04 - 11:33 AM Is that what sporrans are for then, shitting in? I thought they were for keeping your baccy and papers for roll ups. No wonder some persons of a Caledonian persuasion have a funny look on their faces! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Georgiansilver Date: 25 Nov 04 - 12:29 PM I heard a tale about two Scottish homosexual boxers who became "sporran partners" Best wishes. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: akenaton Date: 25 Nov 04 - 01:44 PM I thought it was their masters they baited in Hull..Ake |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Tig Date: 25 Nov 04 - 02:20 PM I have a very old badge that says "I support badger hunting", made for me way way back before I had caught my Badger and he was still a teacher - and after I had spent a fortune on Andy Mullin's badges!!! Am I allowed to become an absent member or do I have to attend the meetings? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Little Hawk Date: 25 Nov 04 - 06:51 PM Baiting badgers is a bothersome business best left to bastardized buggers from Bewdley...or Hull. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Rapparee Date: 25 Nov 04 - 08:50 PM We bait badgers out in Idaho. We find a badger that's sitting around, peacefully sipping a beer and eating a pickled egg, and then we start in. "Hey, badger! I heard that your momma wears Army boots!" and "Bad Badger! Betcha you don't know how much your sister is charging!" Usually ends up with a bar being wrecked. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 26 Nov 04 - 04:16 AM I think, Rapaire, that what you are describing is actually badger mocking which is on a lower level. This is necessarily so as the average badger does not have the intellectual capacity to recognise proper baiting. Higher forms of badger intelligence do exist, Hull being a hotspot of advanced badgerdom, but, alas, there is no recorded instance of this occuring in the United States either above or below the Mason-Dixon line. Please feel free to continue your mocking. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Sweetfia Date: 26 Nov 04 - 04:35 AM jOhn...what have you started!?! *grin* |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Dave Bryant Date: 26 Nov 04 - 04:38 AM What bait do badgers go for - up in Hull9 it'll probably have to be a choice of Whelks or Curry. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Big Al Whittle Date: 26 Nov 04 - 04:49 AM nah not even a badger can chew a whelk. Like the rest of us, it would try one whelk, once. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 26 Nov 04 - 05:57 AM Badgers are fond of whelks, curried or plain, and like shellfish in general. They are not overly keen on pickled eggs unless, of course, they are drinking scrumpy cider and in training for the annual badger farting competition. A contest which has led to the now familiar expression "as rough as a badger's arse". These are, of course, little known facts as the badger is a creature of nocturnal habits. As are many of us!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Les from Hull Date: 26 Nov 04 - 01:29 PM If this were South Yorkshire, it would be understood that we put badger sandwiches in our packing up (= packed lunch). |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,smiler Date: 26 Nov 04 - 06:49 PM Badger baiting is illegal hull. Just like hunting will be soon. I don't find it funny for a person like you, who participates in blood sports to start these jokey threads, on serious issues. What will you sad losers torment when you can't terrorise foxes? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Les from Hull Date: 26 Nov 04 - 08:05 PM Not a lot of badgers in Hull, Smiler, but if you like I'll organise a hunt for your sense of humour. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 26 Nov 04 - 09:14 PM Heloo Les! [I reckon we'd better keep quiet about our "torturing cuddly little kittens club", folk might start moaning]. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Dave Hanson Date: 27 Nov 04 - 12:12 AM Here in Halifax we have the ' Pussy Stroking Club ' eric |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Les in Chorlton Date: 27 Nov 04 - 02:58 AM Anyone re-call pig-gripping? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Raggytash Date: 27 Nov 04 - 05:37 AM Here in Huddersfield we have the Beaver Baiting Society and the Beaver Faciers Club which enjoys a liquor licence |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Dead Horse Date: 27 Nov 04 - 02:22 PM Load of bloody heathens up in Hull. We in Kent stick to the old traditions, like sheep worrying, etc. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Hand-Pulled Boy Date: 28 Nov 04 - 09:53 AM I'm organising a coach trip to Huddersfield for the 'ull lads (We need a driver jOhn. You may need to cut back on the guiness). |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 28 Nov 04 - 10:17 AM My friend called Rob the Bus driver can drive buses, you seen him anyway, he give me a lift to your gig in town one day. He works for Stagecoach buses now, so he doesn't go out much now, he just drives buses, and stays in house eating meat pies. but i will tell him to go on thursday, if he's not doing nowt. PS-I talking to a guitar bloke called Jobey, he is friends with Harri Watts band, he plays Spanish Gypsy Guitar Music, I told him to go on thursday as well, he's in a Gypsy guitar band with 4 other people, they might go as well.I think El Ted will like him. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Date: 28 Nov 04 - 10:20 AM he's not a proper gypsy, he's a stewed ant. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: *Laura* Date: 28 Nov 04 - 12:34 PM save trees! eat a beaver! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Desert Dancer Date: 28 Nov 04 - 03:51 PM Wot! Ant stewing as well! I must start up a petition. Heavens. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: s6k Date: 29 Nov 04 - 03:50 AM thursday 8pm |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 29 Nov 04 - 04:13 AM More details on the Pussy Stroking Club please. There can be few greater pleasures in life than stroking a warm furry pussy which is laid across your lap. I love those little contented noises they make when you catch a particularly sensitive spot. Guess I'm just an old softie. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: Hand-Pulled Boy Date: 29 Nov 04 - 06:42 AM You're right. The bus will not go to Huddersfield. It will be driven to Halifax instead via Hell (Hull, Hell and Halifax). I still think Huddersfield should be in there somewhere! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 29 Nov 04 - 06:48 AM Obviously both our clubs are VERY exclusive (as one would expect in Huddersfield) memebership is limited and quite expensive, however I could be persuaded to use my considerable influence within the clubs to facilitate new members application, and as I'm sure you will appreciate the application citeria for members of each gender varies (slightly) |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 29 Nov 04 - 06:55 AM http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4050691.stm Intersting developments for tradition badger baiting clubs, fortunatley our beaver baiting is somewhat different and does not entail killing the beaver in fact our beavers seem to positive enjoy being baited |
Subject: RE: BS: Hull Badger Baiting Club From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 29 Nov 04 - 07:04 AM As I recall from my baiting days, beavers like to be baited with something hard and shiny, wet sticks being widely used at one time. I'll go back to me lodge. |
