Fisheye who usually gives me a lift to these events will not be attending this event due to other arrangements.
Now I can get to Stroud and get a cab from there but I would much prefer to give petrol money to folk passing that way who can pick me up at Stroud.

If the trains are affected by engineering works on the Sunday then I may well hit Lower Stoke on the Saturday and enjoy the Saturday night in in the Nags for the Gangster and Moles party?

Early days yet so I will make me mind up at nearer the time?

In regards to Wild Boar.
I have been told that it is tough has old boots and takes a week to digest so I may get some thing else or revert back to the Cheese and Bread.

"NO" I went Leopard spotting at Whipsnade Zoo.
When a leopard gets fed up with with one spot he just swaggers off to another spot,
Loepards can change up to a 100 spots in a day. (True)

I think it's "Hypochondria". It's a Clive Lever original and Clive does it in a style that is straight out of the Grand Ole Opry.

Thanks Al and Richard.

unfortunately this camera does not has port for external mic. But the zoom mic is not doing too badly indoors and at close quarters.

Outdoors at Knockholt will be another matter.

Does anyone know what the title of the Hypochondria song Don Thompson did is?

I think the problem with the Triumph was more the notorious Triumph hinge in the middle, hence the prevalence of Tritons, rather than the forks, but I'd still have expected the T100SS to piss on the Leader. The only Jap I fancied until there was nothing else left to buy was the CB250. Certainly hated the CB72.

What did you do to stop the square four seizing, piddle on the rear two cylinders?

From: Don(Wyziwyg)T
Date: 04 Feb 10 - 06:59 AM

I went the Triumph route in 1960, and found those very whippy forks downright scary in the wet. You could never be sure just where the limit was, until the point when you clambered to your feet and said to yourself "Oh, that was it".

I rode a square four for about six months, and found it relatively stable.

You might be right about the Beezer (marginally), but the Ariel would have been ahead of my Tiger Ton SS (500cc sports twin).

Hmm, a 250cc two-stroke with relatively heavy bodywork and leading link front suspension (oh, and the CG too far back thanks to the underseat tank like a scooter) against a 4 stroke of up to 650cc, little wasted weight, and tele forks? I think I'd put my money on the Triumphs but more particularly the Beezers on wet roads. I have however always wanted a Squariel.

Brixton Bert ?? I knew him from drinking at my local pub (one of them). Great stories of riding his Ariel Leader around the dark wet streets of South London and burning off his mates riding their Triumphs and BSAs.
We played together just once ~ he didn't like melodeons nor their players much.. I remember he played an impromptu song set including Frankie & Johnny and throwing himself down on the floor at the end of the song, everybody thought he'd had a heart attack !
He would get his racing tricycle out every Christmas Day and cycle 3 miles uphill to our local pub. Forever a great raconteur with tankard in hand.
Twas great in the knowing...

When I sang/played Drunken sailor , wearing the sailors hat with the back and forth ,up and down rough sea role play during the chorus . everyone joined in and appeared to enjoy
despite appearances I do not think I was drunk? The 12 string did not after all hit the floor and clearly nor did I at any time.
'at the end of the session some one said to me with a grin,

"'They are going to love you at Sidmouth "


"indeed if I get a stewarding position at all . I know nothing about the event , so.

I will be staying sober & keeping me wits about me?
after all such a above "Carry On' may not be appropriate at Sidmouth.
having never been before i will be cautious

I have passed on the thanks of all to Peter the Landlord and to Big Mary who were duly gratified.

As it happened there was a darts match on, so I was able to introduce those eating the mild curry provided by the pub to the hot sauce. I did warn them, and those who heeded the warnings liked it. THose who were cavalier found it - well - hot.

Richard,
       Just a line to confirm how much I enjoyed your session in "The Nags Head" and express my appreciation of all the singers and players who took part. All power to your elbow and may there be many more. Since we have not had the pleasure meeting before there is no reason why you should ever know me from Adam, but I hesitate. We may have seen one another in the distant past at a Pete Hicks afternoon session in his pub.
             Anyway, also many thanks for you hospitality and a fine dish of curry. I did not need the heater on in the car going home.
TTFN,
John

Many thanks to Richard, and to the nice folks who run the Nags Head.

I had a marvellous day, thoroughly enjoyed the whole business, and, thanks to John B and Janet, didn't have to wait an hour in Strood, but was taken straight home.

If I may just take issue on one point, Richard. "Never mind John, I think Don drank your share".

Do you think I was slacking then? I drank ever so much more than that, but thanks to the lovely lady behind the bar producing a number of cups of black coffee during the six hours, I was still vertical on arrival home, and the dog-house remained unoccupied.

Also thanks to Pierre for his kind remarks on my humour and wit..........Must have been the Kent's Best improving my performance, or the Late Red dulling his critical faculties.

Thanks all round, so I don't miss anyone out
Don T.

P.S. Not a smidgeon of hangover this am. Wife says there's NO justice.
