Pete, we can collect and/or give lift back to Strood. You have my mobile number.

I have been practising Bonny Portmore. I may even bring She Moved Through the Fair out of moth balls. I have never done either of these or Siúil a Ruin publicly.

Please go easy on me.

I think I might give See Lyin, (or Sea Lion, She Lyin) Woman a go. I know it is not Irish, but it is a joiny in song.

Blimey, Don, first it's swinging from the light fittings, then it's flying around! I don't know what you're on, mate, but can I have some?

As for you, Pierre, I'll see you tomorrow at Strood.

I will probobly fall asleep on the train after working all night and end up back at Waterloo East? I HAVE 4 cans of Red Bull so I should be ok and I am not working Sunday night.

I wonder what would happen if I downed all four cans of Red Ball in one go

"we should especially encourage Irish songs this month? "

Judging by some of the other threads this must be akin to playing stairway to heaven or smoke on the water in a guitar shop ;-)

The hot sauce now needs to simmer for an hour before I cogitate sweetening and thickening. If I had a kitchen door I would close it since the kitchen atmosphere will be about as burning as mustard gas. Sweetening is tricky, since it involves tasting, and since one teaspoonful of hot sauce will turn a whole plateful of food into a vindaloo (give or take) tasting the sauce neat necessitates using extremely (er EXTREMELY) small quantities.

The one I catch is the 0952. That arrives chez Bridge exceeding early, 1035, or thereabouts, following which I offer assistance (get in the way) with the food preparation.

Since I can't get to evening gigs at the moment, I try to squeeze in every second at the daytime ones.

I'll be flying around on the Sweeps weekend, between Medway, Maidstone and Farningham.

Busy trying to work out bus times at the moment.

I came on here for another purpose. I popped in to the pub to check the wares for tomorrow, but the beer is not yet on. A propos it is designated and "Irish Stout" by the brewers. I do not think there will be another beer on the (newly refurbished) handpumps but there will be bottled Nun's Pleasure (Bishop's Finger) and Focke F*cker (Spitfire) as well as yellow and brown fizzy drinks under pressure.

Did I get a shock? Peter the Landlord and Nova (his Rubens-esque lady friend) have become affianced to each other and are leaving the pub.

Just as I get them trained they go and I have to start on a new lot!

So let's make it a good send-off for them.

The Hot sauce is being made later tonight with red Scotch bonnets.

Pierre: The 191 leaves Strood for Lower Stoke at 1152 and 1352 on Sundays. If you're thinking of the 1152, you can get a lift with me instead - I'm picking up Rachael at midday from Strood station. You should be able to get a lift back easily enough, either with me later on or someone else earlier.

If you want a lift out there at midday, let me know!

Simples!

That could be because Stroud is near Bristol, whereas Strood is near(ish) to Lower Stoke.

Don, what time is the bus to here from Strood that you will be on?

Absolutely not into stout. Hoping there will also be a bitter available, otherwise it's a mix of softs and coffee, which just might see me swinging from the light fittings.

I'm much more placid on beer.

I do come equipped with one or two Irish songs though.

Stout! That means it is dark and sweet right? I may just have some of that.

Date: 20 Mar 10 - 08:51 AM

Hmmm.... I've always considered stout an English drink. Didn't it originate in England?

Also, in my experience, the best stouts are English (despite Guinness's multi-million pound advertising campaigns and market flooding!). Compare a pint of Goacher's Stout with a pint of nitrogen-charged Guinness, for example. No competition!

I'm already licking my lips over tomorrow's offering! Chugalug, chugalug!

Sorry - slight thread drift! I shall be singing as well as drinking tomorrow!

Perhaps as there is a stout on (and it has recently been plastic paddies night) we should especially encourage Irish songs this month?

Bags I "Step it out Mary" before Brian does it to the chord sequence of "Tales from a raggy tramline".

I might do "The Thieves of Peckham Rye too, unless the Leopards come and do it.

Who can do "The sick note"?

Pierre, I have had a look at the trains and there are no engineering works planned for either your line or the Dartford to Strood line on Sunday - you just need to change at Dartford and trains leave every half an hour.

Has I was saying>
I have to go to work Saturday night and do a 12 hour shift. Take in travel time there and back it a 15 hour shift.
I have no lift arranged to get to the Nags and the thought of public transport on a sunday with possible engineering works on route with a bus replacement service .I think I would rather stick pins in me eyes. which may just keep me awake on route?

Has for replacement buses they go all round the world.
I went to Tonbridge Wells once on a bus replacement ,clean shaven.
Went via bloody Norway.
Time I got to my destination the event was finished and I had grown a f,,k... Beard. and I had the same Fiasco home again.

If anyone can give me a lift from the Eltham area or Lewisham area that would be great if not I will see you all at sweeps
