24 Oct 06 - 04:06 AM (#1867009) Subject: RE: Bedfordshire Day of Song/Tunes - 11 Nov From: Cathie I heard a Christmas song in a pub last night> I can't believe it! I expressed my surprise to the landlady but she shrugged it off as one in a continuous tape of 500 songs. I didn't ask her if it was played in the summer because she looked a bit hacked off anyway. I am going to search out my antlers ready to put on in case I am back ther in 499 songs time. |

REFRESH into a Thread and it keeps it at the top of the Fred List ... that's refreshing !!!!! Jo-Jo |

24 Oct 06 - 06:59 AM (#1867070) Subject: RE: Bedfordshire Day of Song/Tunes - 11 Nov From: Cathie Oh that's a wonderful surprise to hear - thanks so much. Are you near Bedfordshire? In folk-travel-terms that could anywhere down south I suppose. |

24 Oct 06 - 08:27 AM (#1867116) Subject: RE: Bedfordshire Day of Song/Tunes - 11 Nov From: Ross I thought it was an order to go to the bathroom I suppose that would be a reflush Any Mudcatters from far flung parts coming? I'm organising the indoor outdoor barbeque with finger buffet and periwinkle crockery |
|
24 Oct 06 - 08:47 AM (#1867136) Subject: RE: Bedfordshire Day of Song/Tunes - 11 Nov From: Scrump Fish or chocolate? (The finger buffet I mean) Far flung parts, eh? Sounds painful. I'd like to come along to meet a few Mudcatters but it will most likely be in the afternoon as I think I have a gig in the evening (not 100% sure though, need to check). (Put me down for playing, singing, listening and drinking but not necessarily in that order.) |

24 Oct 06 - 10:33 AM (#1867255) Subject: RE: Bedfordshire Day of Song/Tunes - 11 Nov From: Scrump I can't really claim to support Luton, even though I did once have a season ticket for Kenilworth Road. You'd have to be a masochist to actually support them ;-) Why do you ask? |
|
24 Oct 06 - 11:44 AM (#1867311) Subject: RE: Bedfordshire Day of Song/Tunes - 11 Nov From: Ross Cheers Scrump - we will put you down for everthing The format is a continual circle around the room Only a few will last the whole 12 hours - everyone is welcome to come along and spend as much time as they want - just for a few hours is fine Hopefully the further flung among you can come in the afternoon and still get home before all the passes are blocked Obviously they will be 'Ross frozen food fish fingers' only made from the finest endangered Cod (Oh no - they've eaten Eric) Don't answer the Luton question - it's a worse fate than masonry |

And fireworks. And a raffle. My 'That's Entertainment' LP is so worn out I must ask Santa for a new CD version. The drunken nights singing along with friends after closing time have left their scratches. |

Is this any good from Joe Offer? ............ With the restoration of Mudcat over the weekend, a number of people have had problems with their Mudcat membership, particularly if they had changed their user name in the period that Mudcat was having problems (summer 2005 to this last weekend). Usually, all you need to do to fix the problem is log in again with your user name and password. If your user name has changed and you can't figure out what your user name is, use the filter to check a thread you've posted to recently. Log in with the user name listed for you on that thread, with your usual password. Once you've logged in, you can go to Membership and change any information that needs changing. If you can't solve your login problems, Please do not submit a new membership. Just send me an e-mail and ask me for help. I'll be around most of the time over the next couple of days - although it may sometimes take a few hours for me to respond. Thanks. -Joe Offer- joe@mudcat.org ..............
