14 Feb 02 - 05:46 AM (#649785) Subject: RE: Evn more after Stony Dratsford From: Dave Bryant The spelling mistake in one thread title fits our GUEST (who claims to be a "mouse with a small penis") perfectly. Let him henceforth be the "Anomymouse GUEST". Incidently - has anyone got any good pics of Linda in her "Joan the leather Queen" outfit ? - several people (especially MICCA) seemed to be busy with their cameras. None of McGrath's pics record the incident, but then his recitation on Saturday night was (very slightly) misogenistic. |

14 Feb 02 - 05:50 AM (#649786) Subject: RE: Evn more after Stony Dratsford From: MudGuard My pictures will take some time to come (though I have none of Linda with her whip) ... Right now they are away for developping, on Monday I will give the slides to a colleague for scanning... |

14 Feb 02 - 06:41 AM (#649808) Subject: RE: Evn more after Stony Dratsford From: Fibula Mattock Yup, I have a picture of "Joan the Leather Queen" in full regalia. McGrath can be forgiven for his mysogynistic reading on the grounds that I won a copy of his CD in the raffle and his marmite song is wonderful! I'll get my arse in gear today and e-mail the photos to Pene Azul. They'll probably be lacking captions though as I'm in a rush getting things organised as I'm off to Germany for a week at 5.30am tomorrow. |

Though usually if you go to the quick links bar (at top of the forum page), then select members photos and information; there is a load of photos there. Right at the bottom of this list of photos, is a link to the various mudcat gatherings and such in the events photos sections... From there it's jammed full of pictures to have a view of.

14 Feb 02 - 02:23 PM (#650105) Subject: RE: Evn more after Stony Dratsford From: McGrath of Harlow Misogynistic reading indeed! Here it is in case anyone wants to decide - King Cormac on Women.
I suppose there is a just a wee tinge of criticism of women there. But I go by what a friend told me, and she said she thought it was "very empowering" and insisted on having a copy for herself.
Anyway I'm glad you won it, Fibula, and even more glad you liked it. When I heard about the unclaimed prizes I had a horrible feeling the CD might be one of them, the way you get bath salts left till last in a raffle where people are choosing their prizes.
(Mind, I was once in a raffle where that happened to a large bottle of Baileys - and I was the one who won the last prize and liberated it. It was a Muslim Community Group, which explains it.) |

14 Feb 02 - 03:25 PM (#650153) Subject: RE: Evn more after Stony Dratsford From: Herga Kitty LtS As I seem to be the only person who has claimed a raffle prize out of the remaining ones, do I get a choice of what to claim? and how/ where to claim it?

14 Feb 02 - 03:36 PM (#650165) Subject: RE: Evn more after Stony Dratsford From: Liz the Squeak Damn, if I'd been able to read this thread an hour ago, the bottle would have been on it's way to you via Manitas, a session, and Helen.... Bugger. Ah well, the bottle of non bath bubbly has your name on it. I thought you'd prefer the Bert Hansell CD, so there we go, shows how much I don't know about you still! LTS |

14 Feb 02 - 04:48 PM (#650224) Subject: RE: Evn more after Stony Dratsford From: Herga Kitty Liz - it depends on whether the bubbly is dry (in which case, wait for another Manitas / Helen link-up unless you're thinking of going to the Anchor Middle Bar reunion) or sweet, in which latter case it can go in someone's bath and I'll settle for the Hawick mint balls... or possibly the Bert Hansell CD.

Brilliant weekend, cheers Dai. Thank the goddess that Micca is equiped with a multi-purpose 'boy scout' or else we may never have seen Bron after friday night ( the door handle came off in her hand after she had entered her room at the Bull, it's true ). As for the currently posted piccys. How many ways can I say "Does my bum look big in this?"? And how come I don't remember all them photies being took? Cathy, I have a picture of a bloke called Bob sound asleep at the wareham wail ( 1st night!!), maybe you should see him about forming a society for the somnolently challenged? I'm convinced that my instrumentalist path lies in the shadow of the KAZOO! I second the AIMKO idea and all who humm in her!!!! Fib can't get "Glad I'm a gladiator" out of her head, I can't get "Though I'll dance around my snake I won't dance around yours" Morty's tour de force on friday night. I've even been caught singing it out loud at work (and they really think folk music is weird, never mind the belly dancing ). I've decided I much prefer South Australia sung at that speed!
