Shit, how I'd love to be there.Hope everybody arrived healthy and with good condition for the night. Where is the hourly report on what's happening I expected to find here*bg*? I have to play a little gig in a pub run by friend of mine just beside the Lake of Constance(Bodensee). I'm gonna think of you all when playing tonight. Have a good time and enjoy yourself and your music. Slainte menzze |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Susanne (skw) Date: 04 May 01 - 04:48 PM This is Internet realtime! I'll be starting in an hour or two, but first I'll slip into my bath to avoid smelly feet. (Can't do anything about the garlic, though ...) See you all soon! And to those unavoidably left behind: Enjoy yourselves while you've got the chance to do what you like! |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Cobble Date: 04 May 01 - 12:05 PM They are on their way ! Bill and crew left our house about an hour ago, they should be arriving at the Hull ferry terminal about now. Fair wind for a good trip. Mrs. C |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Eric the Viking Date: 04 May 01 - 10:49 AM I'm sitting here waiting for Skip, only about 30.minutes to go-how we will get to Hull over 140Km in one hour is beyond me, but my faithful friend has his superman vest on I am told. I even skived out of school early and missed assembly!!!!!! (Hora!!) I am changed, washed, coffeed and CLEAN SOCKS-Cobble can't change his now until the boat!!!! Oh, I'm all of a dither** zither? Oh balls. I AM EXCITED. See you in less than a couple of hours (the brits) and less than 24 for you Europeans. Eric |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Skipjack K8 Date: 04 May 01 - 04:26 AM I'm kicking corporate ass in Leeds 'til 4, then burning down to pick Eric up. Hope there's no rozzers on the M62. Shoite, the boot of my Alfa looks tiny, with an enormous accordion taking up the bigger part. Buggered if I know where I'm putting Bill's 2m fags (cigarettes, yankees!). Skipjack |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: MudGuard Date: 04 May 01 - 03:24 AM 3 hours 40 minutes till my departure, and less than 30 hours till we meet. I am packed, got all my baggage here at the office and start from here to the train station (home is about 5km from train station, office about 0.5km). See you all tomorrow! MudGuard |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Cobble Date: 03 May 01 - 08:36 PM Noreen... Up or down makes little diffrence after a few beers !!! Have a great time. Viel Spaß : )))))))) Mrs. C |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Noreen Date: 03 May 01 - 08:15 PM Thanks, Pat- we'll try to enjoy ourselves... despite miserable songs... (I don't know any like that. *g*) |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Susanne (skw) Date: 03 May 01 - 08:13 PM Thanks, catspaw - we'll be thinking of you! (And other absent friends!) |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Noreen Date: 03 May 01 - 08:00 PM You mean upwind, Mrs C?? Or is this a windup?? :0) |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: catspaw49 Date: 03 May 01 - 07:47 PM Watching this build over three threads has been a treat.......Have a great time as I know you will. Spaw |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Cobble Date: 03 May 01 - 06:56 PM Noreen enough to say stay down wind !!!!! Then there's the miserable songs he sings! Mrs C |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Noreen Date: 03 May 01 - 06:24 PM Oh really, Mrs. Cobble???? Come on, forewarned is forearmed. What should I know? (PM me if it's too shocking for general consumption...) (Hee hee) |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Cobble Date: 03 May 01 - 06:12 PM Noreen.... Cobble's feet are the least of your worries!!!! : ) Mrs. C |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Noreen Date: 03 May 01 - 05:56 PM I was just trying to get in the mood, Eric.... :0) So, two reasons to avoid Cobble, his feet and the "golden rivet" - the mind boggles. Only one more sleep... (as the reception class would say)! I would have baked some cookies to bring, Wolfgang, to go with the beer.... but am prohibited. Sorry! Noreen |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Llanfair Date: 03 May 01 - 05:47 PM I've just had another look at the "Pride of Rotterdam" info. There is an Irish bar, cabaret(!), and, "for the youngsters", a cyber room where people can surf the net. So, all you landlubbers, watch this space!!!, though we will probably have to browbeat some pimply youths to let us near a computer!!! I am so excited, and not a bit sleepy!!!! See you tomorrow! Cheers, Bron. |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Eric the Viking Date: 03 May 01 - 05:07 PM I didn't say,"saw a melodian in half!" I said, " If you want to smuggle cigarettes, take all the insides out of the melodians!!!". Anyway, ask Billy two mllion. I won,t be swimming astern, I shall be swimming down to the bottom!! And Noreen- I never take issue with what you say, but Fresh Humber air? ICI, several petro chemical works, and cobbles feet!!! Oh well, takes all sorts I guess. 22.00hrs now, and less than 24 hours till we go. Next time we chat, it will be for real. Goodnight all. By the way- If Cobble asks any of you ladies or gents to go and see the "golden rivet" -WATCH OUT!!!!!!!! cheers. Eric |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Noreen Date: 03 May 01 - 02:03 PM mmmm- smell that fresh Humber air..................... |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Cobble Date: 03 May 01 - 01:56 PM This time tomorrow we will be sailing down the Humber leaning on the after rails watching Eric swimming astern of us, (he should never have said he was going to saw my melodeon in half , in the Jug last night). 24 hours to go. Cobble. |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Wolfgang Date: 03 May 01 - 04:45 AM Ah, the Welsh narrow gauge steam railways, what a fond memory. I've travelled them all with the exception of Snowdon mountain railway (too much fun to walk that bit up and down). I'm getting second thoughts about the completeness of my preparation after reading Bill talking (I mean listening him writing) a funny language in the Geordie jokes thread. Do we need an interpreter? It is still a very hot day over here, today, 25+ degrees centigrade, but there'll be rain tomorrow! Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: MudGuard Date: 03 May 01 - 04:18 AM Bron, just in case you don't know, there is a railway going from Llanfair Caereinion to Welshpool ;-) It's narrow-gauge, but still a railway ;-) Btw, greetings to Jim! Less than 60 hours! MudGuard |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Lady McMoo Date: 03 May 01 - 03:52 AM Perhaps a final check on addresses and meeting places/times might be in order? mcmoo |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: GUEST,Llanfair Babysitting Date: 02 May 01 - 05:38 PM One more day to go. I've double checked the railway timetable, made arrangements for the care of husband/aged P's/pets/livestock, got my passport, marks and guilders, all I have to do now is pack a bag and scrounge a lift to Welshpool. 's a doddle, really!!!!! Cheers, Bron. |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: MudGuard Date: 02 May 01 - 01:35 PM Yes, I am touring! Yes, I am touring! Yes, I am touring! Hope that answers your three questions ;-) I do about 500km per week and I usually tour for 4 to 6 weeks at a time. But I don't get slowed down by numbered or named children, as I usually tour alone. Last year I toured Wales - that's where I met Bron (Llanfair) and also Jon Freeman and Sian (West-Wales). Nice to know I am not the only tourer at the meeting! See you all very soon now - less than 70 hours from now. Btw, my tooth is very quiet right now, I hope it will stay like this for the next five weeks... MudGuard |

Only tomorrow and The day of Friday to go.tonight is JUG night, so it's good as well. Bye for now Eric |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: menzze Date: 02 May 01 - 05:42 AM Hi Mudguard, I'll have an open tooth closed this afternoon. Seems to be the season for open teeth *gr* Yeah, it's spring and even holes are growing.
Wolfgang, So the sad result: I'll be with you in my thoughts and I envy all of you. I'm shure this won't be the last meeting, maybe when you're all together at Muenster you can fix the date for next year. All my best wishes to all of you, have fun and music and maybe raise some glasses "for absent friends". menzze

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: MudGuard Date: 02 May 01 - 03:57 AM Thanks for all your support!!! Only three days till we meet! Yes, we will meet, as the news from the tooth is: The dentist cleared all living material from the tooth. And she told me she has to leave it open for at least 8 to 10 days before she can even think about closing it. She told me 4 weeks are no problem if I am not in pain again. So I will be there for the MudGathering!!! It might just be that I have to cut short my cycling tour which I am going to start from Münster through Netherlands and Belgium towards France (Normandie/Bretagne) and Channel Islands. MudGuards |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Wolfgang Date: 02 May 01 - 03:10 AM Andreas, that's not a convincing reason yet. We'd feel very uncomplete without you. Mcmoo: That's the second closest hotel to my place. My parents often have stayed there. 5 min walk. Wolfgang |

Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Susanne (skw) Date: 01 May 01 - 06:50 PM Andy, not wanting to put pressure on you in your plight, yet I have to support Bron - I've had a tooth left open for weeks before the inflammation had cleared entirely and a filling could be put in. It didn't stop me from getting about (not for weekends - I certainly wouldn't risk going on holiday with an open tooth!). The only thing is to keep the hole clear of foodstuffs (for which I carried a small pointed pair of pincers - I think ...) and get a chance to brush your teeth regularly. Gute Besserung, und ich druecke Dir die Daumen, dass Du kommen kannst! |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Llanfair Date: 01 May 01 - 05:18 PM Mudguard, don't worry about your tooth. I had the same problem, and the hole was left open till the infection cleared. I really would miss you if you were unable to attend. I'm looking forward to Friday and the weekend so much!! Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Eric the Viking Date: 01 May 01 - 04:27 PM Mudguard, you can't let a tooth stop you please. You can have permission to drink wolfgang's whiskey for pain relief (That's kind of me!) But it would be a shame not to meet you.There are very few things that hurt like tooth ache, so get well soon. Only 21/2 days to go. The "Pride of Rotterdam" made her maiden ferry crossing today, complete with 2,000,000 !!! Smuggled cigarettes which were found at Hull in a lorry-what a start, 2,000,000 fags Tuesday and us lot returning on Sunday night/Monday morning!! The boat leaves later, as it's a faster crossing, does that mean we'll have a later check in time Bill? Stay longer in Germany? I know it will only be a few hours longer, but the Pride doesn't leave hull until 21.00hrs instead of 18.00 normally. I expect it will be the same from Europort. I wish Wednesday and Thursday would fly by, then it will be Friday at last. it's a bit like a kid wishing for Christmas or a birthday, much like me wishing for the end of term!!! Cheers. Eric |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Lady McMoo Date: 01 May 01 - 03:39 PM Dear Wolfgang We'll be staying at the Hotel Garni Frond. Telephone 0251 133 430. We'll probably arrive 13h00-14h00. Is that far from your place? Best regards, mcmoo |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: MudGuard Date: 01 May 01 - 11:43 AM Thanks, Patrish! I also hope I can come... |
|
Subject: RE: Germany MudGathering, Part 3 From: Patrish(inactive) Date: 01 May 01 - 11:37 AM Sorry to hear about that Mudguard. I had wisdom tooth trouble this time last year - I shudder when I think back. I hope your tooth gives you no more pain and we see you soon Patrish |
