It is believed that Punch the Horse may thread, please be warned of this impending action. It could result in serious injury for those unwary enough to approach too closely. Treat this threading with extreme caution.

Then, on the other hand, is there not the distinct possibility the Punch the Horse may NOT thread???? And what will be the fate of this thread if PTH decides not to thread????

Of course, you could just start another thread called "Refusal to Thread in The British Folk Movement".

I can tell you, however, that my session at the Sun Inn, Beverley, will be taking place from 2pm till 6pm this coming Sunday, 4th May.

Although numbers may be slightly down due to some people being in Whitby, that means the rest of us get a better go!! It does seem that quite a few of my regulars will still be in attendance, and a jolly afternoon is likely to be the order of the day. Even if the dastardly idea of sitting in a pub all afternoon does mean that I won't be able to go out on my shiny new Triumph motorcycle!

John9, please post no further on other PTH threads. Am trying to keep it down to a single thread per month. And this is it!

Thanks to all attendees of the Sun Session on Sunday. It was a fairly quiet one due to several regular singists being away in Whitby (and the USA) but we had a luverly time nonetheless. I got quite tiddly, went home and promptly fell asleep, so I think it was a success!

Saturday 10th May, just to clear things up, PTH will be gracing the hallowed turf at Durty Nellies, with Brother Oakley in the driving seat. Hope to see the usual rabble there.

THIS INVOLVES ACTUALLY PUNCHING A HORSE.
For all you Britts who love animals (all Britts BE ADVISWED that the horse got the better end of this confrontation.

When I was 16 years old (1945), stood 5' 3" tall and weighed 106 lb (7 stone 7) I sometimes taught little rich kids to post to the trot at a stable run by a guy named Kennedy. I don't know his first name, except, "Mr."
He had a strikingly handsome Irish thorobred named, "Sligo". Sligo was a whole horse, (as opposed to a gelding) about 4 years old, and my choice of mount. I struck up, so I thought, a friendship involving mutual respect, and a lot of apples.
Sligo would whinny when I came into the barn, because he knew I had a couple of apples for him.
Kennedy had advised me, when I first began riding Sligo, to use a check rein as Sligo was very high spirited and somewhat rambunctious.
This was fine for about six months, until one day, (yes here it comes)I was sure that Sligo was my buddy and would not betray my confidence in his friendship. (Yup, slight mistake) So, I decided to take him out with a single straight bit.
This was, by the way, in Brooklyn New York, and the "taking out" involved a nice ride around the Prospect Park bridle path, including the half mile straightaway with a dead end known as the "Flatbush Avenue Extension" One usually let the horses go ful;l out along this straightaway, pulling the horse to a stop before one reached the iron picket fence, five and one half feet high, on the other side of which was the intersection of Flatush Avenue and Empire Boulevard.
I suppose that most of you who are familiar ewith thorobred horses and their reputation for "being trustworthy" are anticipating what transpired as I left the main bridal path, tickling Sligo's sides with my cavalry spurs to urge him into a full gallop. This part proceeded perfectly according to my plans. However, when we reached the point at which we started to slow our mounts into a canter and then stop., Sligo ignored my efforts, which became more and more frantic as we approached the end of the extension, with the bit firmly in his teeth, and hit the fence at a full gallop, thereby tumbling slightly up the hill ar one side and throwing me bodily out into the intersection of Flatbush avenue and Empire Boulevard, whilst at the samee time knocking himself silly when his head hit the fence or a tree or something. I'm not quite sure, nor does it matter.
Luckily for me, there was no traffic in the intersection at the time. Gasoline (petrol) was still rationed and there was seldom any motor traffic at all. This does not happen any more. I climbed back over the fence, and soothed poor Sligo's trembling. I got back on, and we walked and trotted back down the extension. At the point where the main bridle path and the extension intersect, there is a footpath which arches over the bridle path, made of brick and concrete. Wherepon, my trusty steed slammed his flank against one wall of the underpass,. cracking my ankle nd knocking my foot out of the right stirrup.
He then decided to chew on his bit some more, and once again took off at a dead gallup.
I hung on to the pommel of which there is very little on the Maclelland saddle (cavalry) with only one foot in a stirrup. he charged out and around the bridle path wuith people scattering before us as I screamed out a warning. then he left the bridle path and proceeded down Ocean Parkway which has a pilon type traffic light in the middle of each intersection along the way. My trusty pal slalomed down Ocean parkway, working himself into a lovely foamy lather. Around one on the right, and the next on the left, et. etc. etc. With me hanging on for dear life. About three blcocks from the stable, he slowed to a walk and calmly walked past Mr. Kennedy, and into the barn.
"Did you take him into the lake, Joseph"? Inquired Kennedy.

No says I, he did everything else, but.

"Well said Kenned, you'd better walk him to cool him off before you put him away" Kennedy's remarks were in a fine "County Cork" accent, sort of like Barry Fitzgerals withou the smirk.

Now I must tell you that I was wearing a pair of cavalry boots that I had purchased with a month's pay, for the first time. I had the reins over my shoulder as I limped along with my cracked ankle. As I turned, for the last time, Sligo the treacherous bastard that he was, stepped on my foot, neatly slicing the toe of one boot, clean down to the sole, and missing my big toe by a scant millimeter.

AT THIS POINT i YANKED SLIGO'S HEAD DOWN TO MY LEVERL HAULED OFF AND PUNCHED HIM IN THE NOSE AS HARD AS i COULD. HE SAT DOWN AND Kennedy fired me.

I MUCH PREFER MULES TO HORSES (except for pure bred Arabians, which are trustworthy)

wherepon, my trusty steed

Cranky - this is why I feel justified in being the only girl in the school (and incidentaly, the only one whose background actually involved working horses) who hated the nasty things. I've never liked horses - I've met several thousand and only one of them I ever liked. He was a bloody big Shire called Prince who at one point was the biggest horse in the county and he lived at the bottom of my road. He was a working turned show horse, and no-one except his owner rode him.

How anything stuffed with hay can be so uncomfortable I shall never know.

Ah, Sweetfire, old boy,(or girl, whatever the case may be) Pure bred Arabian horses form a solid bond with one or two people. They will actually fight for their "frined" and if the rider falls off, unlike every other breed, they will stand there and wait for the fallen rider to get back on.

You said, "unpredictable bitch and hates just about everyone(except me, of course)

Well, pal, the "except me" is what I'm talking about. And, they have to be 100% pure bred Arabs. O.K.?

I still, on occasion, ride horses,but, I don't completely trust them.

By the way, Mules are trustworthy and a hell of a lot more intelligent and resourceful than horses. They don't lie3. If they like you, they'll let you know right away and you can depend on their trustworthiness. If they don't like you, they will likewise let you know right aweay and then , forget about riding it.
Mules will not work to exhaustion, as horses will. When they get tired, no power on earth can get them to work any more until they are rested. A horse will work itself to death.

Contrary to the way stagecoaches are portrayed in the movies, they always used mules,
The type mule you get depends entirely on the breed of the mare that mothered it. A mule from a thorobred mare will perform like a thorobred, except, of course, for their truswtworthiness and superior intelligence.

SToo bad that they are true, sterile hybrids

Sorry, Raggy, but I gots ta tell my mule story.

My friend Phil had several horses and one mule. The mule kept getting out of the fenced field, but none of the horses ever did. So, Phil got some taller fence posts and put another strand of barbed wire around the field. The mule still got out. So, Phil put a strand of electric fence wire around the field. The mule still got out. Finally, Phil gaught the mule in the act. The mule was getting down on all fours and crawling under the fence. A horse would never be smart enough to crawl under a fence unless someone taught him how to do it. A strand of barbed wire placed about six inches from the ground solved the problem.

Now, carry on with the usual Hullstuff.

Hello, Oakley! I trust you are enjoying the fine Spring weather as much as we are here in Twillingsgate? Various gossipping tongues have been trying to embarrass me (and you) lately by spreading fanciful stories, but I pay them little mind. Regardless of that, I hope to make another trip to Hull shortly and hear you play the fiddle again...always a real delight!

Winston has joined a shooting club and is attempting to pass himself off as a ruthless and dangerous man, making idle remarks about "potting wogs" and so on. He really is a dreadful braggart, but I've seen worse. It's a flaw among the overly rich and idle, I'm afraid.

The pervert "poet", Malcolm Buggeroll, still has half the women in this town swooning over his dreadful doggerel. I could fix his wicket permanently by letting slip certain revelations, but I'd rather let the cad hang himself on his own rope, as I expect he will shortly. His audacity knows no bounds. I believe he would make advances to a Barbary Ape if he could find one around here.

This town has its share of odd characters, I can tell you. But that's England, isn't it? We value our eccentricities here.

A father bought his two sons two horses. The boys were very pleased with the gift and amicably chose one each. But they thought how to tell the difference.
One boy thought I know we will cut the mane on mine that will do it. And for some time it worked until the mane grew back.

The other boy thought I will cut the tail of mine and agin it worked until it grew back.

After days and days of thinking it over they decided to measure the horses. And it worked the black horse was one hand bigger than the brown one.

We even sent him on a cruse on a Russian Icebreaker but the enforced isolation made him worse (and it would seem the owner of said ice breaker - somthing to do with a card game at a rediculus drunken hour and the russian captain deciding that he would be beter off giving oaklet the ship and going to live in siberia - the details arn't too clear). We have tried all the conventional drug treatments and even Mrs Drinkall's famous cure all. I'm afraid its a hopeless case we are at a loss. So we have decided to allow him to run with his fantasies but have provided Nurse Penny with a 24 hour armed guard so there is no need to worry about her.

Yours
Dr SP

Brigg Beer Festival 16th & 17th provides various libations for infidels such as Oaklet and Skippy the Dunnock after their exhibitionisms (dictionary def. "Compulsion to display one's genitals in public") at Brigg Fiddle Fest. Allah (peas be upon him) does not permit me to inbibe, but as a multi instrumentalist, I shall be performing on my Rebec, Sarod, Sabra Wadi and Quakker - provided I'm not incapacitated by secondary alcholismm.

It is not a suitable place to drivel on about your genitals. Nor, Raggytash, is it a dating service. If you don't desist I have no option but to report you all so help me.

Antonyms does not mean inferior or unimportant and neither do you.

Your drivel is as good as any other drivel on this thread and I speak as an expert driveller, almost international class (but not in the same class as Oakleaf, that boy is in a class of his own, should be a padded cell really)

right i got a dictionary...here's what it says
Antonyms - inferior, minor, secondary, unimportant
you lot seen to be saying antonym, i'm saying antonymS. There seems to be a difference in spelling, hence the difference in meaning.

The loon is a charming water bird found throughout the Ontario, Canada northland. It has a very distinctive and haunting cry, often heard lilting across quiet lakes in the early dawn. Nothing else on Earth sounds like it. It's very beautiful looking too (exquisite patterns of black and white feathers, graceful form, long neck), and it's a marvelous swimmer. You more often see them swimming and diving than flying.

It may also be found on the Canadian one-dollar coin, which has been popularly dubbed "the Loonie".

I know it sounds odd, but it's true. This is Canada, eh?

"Totally decent, man...Canada ROCKS!!!" (to quote BDiBR)

I don't know where the expression "crazy as a loon" came from, but it must have been inspired by the bird's cry, I would think, which would sound crazy coming from a human being. The only thing in nature which resembles it much is a hyena's laugh. It's spooky.

Equine Prosthetics Patients.
Oakley is a 116-year-old, 16 hand, Thoroughbred gelding (so I really don't know why he's drivelling on about genitals!) with a right leg prosthetic, also a left leg; right arm; left arm; torso; & neck. The majority of his head is present, although completely non-functional from the forehead down.

Pete is a 21-year-old stallion with a full right prosthesis for five years now. Which is why he can't walk in a straight line. His stump terminates at mid-cannon, although he does not have any mobility in his hock anymore!!!!!! His prosthetic was rebuilt to improve upon the gait pattern.

Forgive me I've just returned from the Yorkshire gathering!

David, the Calming, Soothing, Relaxing Lizard Helmet Putty is proving a little hard to shift at £5 per scoop. I feel that is may be wise to realign your pricing structure to suit the Usbekistan economic situation. I think three scoops for a tenner might just get things moving in the right direction.

Do the Flood Prevention Anal Poppies come in packs of ten? £2.99 seems a little steep for just one.

S'fire why on earth is a nice young lady like you interested in asphalt pavements; to quote 'The phenomenon that mixtures move to transverse direction is called rutting. Ruttings are generated at wheel path of carriageway in the cases of warmer climate areas, heavily trafficked roads, approaches to intersection, climbing lanes. Ruttings are generated not only at the mixtures of surface course but also at the mixtures of binder course. Therefore, when milling and overlay is planned, it is necessary to investigate the extent of rutting influence prior to decide the depth of milling'.

Pete I fear you may have developed the exceedingly rare 'Patio Complex' (Patitious Complexio to use the more formal term).This generally occurs in males that are going through the male senna pod (or male menopause). During this period the male has conflicting emotions.He worries about the loss of his virility, wanting to shag everything that moves whilst at the same time is relieved he doesn't have to' (or can't in some cases) put too much effort into it any more. He lusts after tight jeans but is really quite happy with a pair of comfy flannel trousers. He wishes he could be dynamic & exciting but is quite content watching Coronation Street and drinking barley water and so on and so on. Of course he is most worried about developing fungal infections (see Oakley 2003). To sublimate these conflicting emotions he has to build a patio, a beatiful, well-ordered, spacious, clean patio. Whereupon he will place THINGS. He will go into the room where they keep the bright shiny things, the bright shiny sharp things.......oooops sorry getting sidetracked, where was I? Oh yes, the problem with patios is they are the mental equivalent to castration therefore to prove he isn't a castrati the male must do macho things like whistle at people, wear trousers that show off his manly bum cleavage, in fact all the things you've described Pete. The prognosis is good on the whole, you should grow out of it. But if you start building a conservatory I personally would be seriously worried.

29 May 03 - 05:12 AM (#961065)
Subject: RE: Punch the Horse May Thread
From: KJ

My dear Pete I really don't think airing an enormous penis is a good idea. Enormous peni flourish best when they are kept in dark moist conditions & given a regular mulching with added tackifier.Having reached the correct proportions the penis should then be maintained by rigorous pruning. Of course proper pruning techniques should be employed, many enormous peni have been weakened or deformed by incorrect pruning techniques.The skilled pruner first removes all dead, broken, diseased or problem areas by cutting them at the point of origin. Removal of this material opens the canopy sufficiently so that no further pruning is necessary.
Enormous peni can also be trained to develop the required shape but that is for another day. I repeat DO NOT AIR this wonderful organ it will only cause major damage & may result in irreversible withering!

29 May 03 - 05:21 AM (#961072)
Subject: RE: Punch the Horse May Thread
From: KJ

PS. If aforementioned enormous penis is to be used for rutting purposes it must be strengthened by the judicious use of elastomeric polymer modified binders. Do you really think we'll reach 300?

Subject: RE: Punch the Horse May Thread
From: smallpiper

No KJ you've got it wrong (well okay you've got it right but not in Pete's case). It's next years UK entry for the Eurovision song contest! Working along the lines that if Fr Ted and Fr Dougle can do it with "My Lovely Horse" then "My enormous penis" should be a wow right accross europe.

Sometimes the borer between this reality and other realities becomes just a little bit fuzzy especially in Pete's case and I'm not even going to mention Oakly!

29 May 03 - 05:50 AM (#961087)
Subject: RE: Punch the Horse May Thread
From: Raggytash

Sadly I cannot contest this one, however I believe pruning should only be carried out by the gentle application of Molars Grips and incisors anyway. The type of pruning you describe KJ would lead to permanent damage

29 May 03 - 06:17 AM (#961097)
Subject: RE: Punch the Horse May Thread
From: KJ

You may be right Raggy, only the most delicate & precise instruments should be used for the pruning process & of course one has to be careful that one does not damage too many brain cells. Hormone rooting powder could be of use but Pete probably has too many hormones floating round his body anyway!
I must admit smallpiper I did take Petes announcement in it's literal sense. As a theme for a song it has its merits but I think it may well clash with the Yugoslavian female shot-putters chorus 'My Beautiful Moustache'. As for Oakley I think he is rather preoccupied with his plumbing. By the way Smallpiper the little problem at Goxhill was superbly handled by Greg who used diversionary techniques!!!!

Lord bless us and save us Axeman!!!!!

This thread has put more years on me than I care to mention, what with all this swanking and posing about the size of your hampton.

Now you have the temerity to tell me (and the world) that you do not recognise your own guitar playing? And Horror of Horrors!! the voice -awful rendition or no- of the coooooooooooooolist singer around,the fellow you have accompanied for nearly five years!!!!!!

You should have been drubbing the royallties out of the man,not raising your eyebrows at my performance!!

For the love of Arthur,get a grip man!!!.

S'fire. Stop getting sunburnt on your belly! It's not good for you at all you know. You'll end up with a withered & wrinkly belly while the rest of you is still young & vibrant.Oh & never have any kids either 'cos they have the same effect.
I have just been sent home from work 'cos I have a poorly knee, my knees have always looked poorly which is why no-one ever sees them, but this knee feels poorly & I'm wandering about like some arthritic duck. But this unfortunate occurence means that we shall be attending the Sun sess on sun. SP do you want a lift? We will be going early though 'cos we want to eat prior to the proceedings. PTH we thoroughly enjoyed! hearing you in Nellies on Thurs, we also thoroughly enjoyed SP's company, lots of bear9hoi (is that right?) & lots of vodka. They sell Black Death in Durty Nellies, good innit!!
