28 Jun 04 - 10:47 AM (#1215536) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull how about a no smoking night to welcome them that don't smoke? [the smoky people could still smoke downstairs] Last time there was only 4 smokers [me, Les, Mick and that singing woman [i forgot her name now]. Also Geff Laws has got a bad chest and told me he coughs after been in smoky places. post your ideas here. |

28 Jun 04 - 11:34 AM (#1215577) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: greg stephens John: I have been busy on and off, and seem to have missed your elevation to the rank of knight, and your acquisition of an MBE. What was the occasion of this great honour? Something to do with your work for adult literacy, I suppose? Anway, very well-deserved I have no doubt, and itis a tribute to your modesty that you are still prepared to come to Mudcat and share your views with the likes of us. |

28 Jun 04 - 12:10 PM (#1215592) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: ossonflags Here is my three ha'pence for what it is worth. One of the reasons I come to the marlborough club is because you do allow smoking.If the room was very smoky people would have a point, but as it is a big room with plenty of ventilation and the amount of smokers are minimal I do not believe you have a problem.In fact it is a lot less smoky than a lot of pubs were they do have singarounds and there is no ban on them............yet. Mrs.Ossonflags - a non smoker - hates smoky pubs/clubs with a passion, but she does not object to the amount of smoke in the Marlborough folk club. I think if you are going to impose a no smoking ban - as they have at Cottingham - you should do it straight away, then people will know how they stand. |
|
28 Jun 04 - 12:15 PM (#1215594) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: el ted I have to agree with Mick here. Smoking is still a perfectly legal ( and heavily taxed) activity. |
|
28 Jun 04 - 12:45 PM (#1215610) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: s6k how about a mud wrestling match: smokers v. non smokers, dress code = underpants only. the winner could win a pint of whatever they choose, and decide whether it is to be smoking or non. |
|
28 Jun 04 - 12:54 PM (#1215619) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: greg stephens This knighthood of JOhn's is a bit odd, it seems to be retrospective. I've had a few PMs from JOhn over the last year or two, which I have saved till I've got time to try and figure out what they mean. And do you know, that Max or Joe or someone has crept in to my little cupboard of letters and changed the names on them, They used to say "JOhn from Hull", and now they all say "Sir JOhn from Hull MBE". He must have got some serious influence with the powers that be to be able to get them to do that. So I reckon if says "dont smoke" you'd better do what he says, or you might be in trouble. Or, as it were, trubble. |
|
28 Jun 04 - 01:14 PM (#1215635) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: JennyO Funny you should mention that Greg. I was wondering when he got this new name, so I clicked on Sir jOhn from Hull MBE in this thread, to do a search, and lo and behold, all 5523 of his posts are now in that name. Fascinating! |
|
28 Jun 04 - 01:20 PM (#1215642) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: greg stephens Given that emails and stuff can be used against you in a court of law, I find it a bit disturbing that they can be changed retrospectively with the click of a mouse by some computer person somewhere. When I had that letter, it came from JOhn from Hull. Now it's been changed. If they can change the name, they can change the text. Worrying. |
|
28 Jun 04 - 01:49 PM (#1215661) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: Sooz I'm more worried about the mud wrestling at the moment - might be good for the complexion but not for my sciatica. |

28 Jun 04 - 01:52 PM (#1215666) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Thanks for the feedback so far Re smoking at the Marlborough, I feel it would be counter-productive to introduce a smoking ban, as the main people involved in this venture [me, Les, Ossonflags, El Ted and Basic, all smoke, [at least one of us as been there on each night] though as Ossonflags states, the room is a good size, [I would guess around 500 sq ft], and it does not get smoky. We would loke to welcome everyone to our club [and the city of Hull], we could designate the area near the doors no smoking, however if this is not acceptable, feel free to visit some of the other Folk Clubs in the area, Mondays=The White Horse, Hengate, Beverley Tuesdays=The Processed Pea, Etton, near Beverley Wednesdays=Cottingham Live, Cottingham All Non Smoking. |
|
28 Jun 04 - 03:18 PM (#1215715) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: Rt Revd Sir jOhn from Hull Having said that, i reckon the wrestling is a good idea, how about S6k representing the non smokers Versus Ossonflags representing the smokers? |

28 Jun 04 - 05:09 PM (#1215773) Subject: RE: Marlborough Club, Hull, 1st July From: greg stephens OK, that's great, but you weren't "Sir John" two years ago, were you? I'm a bit surprised, actually, because I'm sure I've read you expressing some anti-Royalist sentiments. And as the Queen is an avid Mudcatter(I wont reveal her pseudoplume), she would aware of this. I'm surprised she's magnanimous enough to knight you, in the circumstances, however impressive your rogan josh. |
