Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 29 Jun 10 - 10:16 AM Damn, everyone knows we are better at 4/4/3 |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 29 Jun 10 - 10:25 AM That's a harmonious blend of 4/4/2 and 4/3/3 of course. Or it may just have been a typing error. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 29 Jun 10 - 01:06 PM Oh No don't talk about football.. I put my England shirt to dry on the outside line last night... and this morning I found the pegs had been stolen!!!! Not only that... I expected that heavy fall of rain last night... I heard that a right shower was coming from Africa. |

Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,MC Fat (at work) Date: 30 Jun 10 - 06:57 AM Breaking News that Stanley Knives are sponsoring the Bodhran Championships. The Pick Your Own Bodhran service will be sponsored by Moor and Coast who will have two new lines on the menu Goat Curry and Kebabs |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 30 Jun 10 - 06:58 AM The committee have informed me that Willam McTell... (the Folk singer who shoots apples off his sons head with bow and arrow) will be performing for us... at Blitherscrum this year. It has been decided that see through tents,,, such as that used by that gorgeous blonde last year are to be banned this year as the noise from some of the men watching her get ready for bed kept their wives awake. Still open to suggestions for a few more performers and anything we can do to make it a happier festival... It has become better each year so far, let's keep it up!.. if you pardon the expression! |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,MC Fat (at work) Date: 30 Jun 10 - 07:08 AM Rumour has it that the Spanners are to reform for the event |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 30 Jun 10 - 07:34 AM I heard that they are a great turn!! |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,MC Fat (at work) Date: 30 Jun 10 - 07:38 AM The SAGA Mobility Scooter Morris Side are also thinking of performing. Along with The Blitherscrum Old Folks Home Zimmer Sword Team just how they intertwine those zimmers without falling over is amazing. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 30 Jun 10 - 12:59 PM Jack, one of the Old Folks Home Sword team. sings "Zimmer time, and the Living is Easy" whilst they perform... gotta be worth a watch. Also one of the residents.. a woman rides a motorcycle... a Vincent I think. She suffers highly from Blood Pressure so they nicknamed her 'Red Molly' |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Vic Smith Date: 30 Jun 10 - 01:12 PM I really hope that the Spanners do reform for Blitherscrum. I love their version of "Turn, Turn Again". |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Vic Smith Date: 30 Jun 10 - 01:17 PM Is it true that the Welsh singer David Wrench is the support act on the Spanners' concert? |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 30 Jun 10 - 02:06 PM I think David is actually in a home at the moment... having trouble getting a grip on life I heard. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Tim Leaning Date: 30 Jun 10 - 07:23 PM Let's keep this British I find American threads tend to be awkward. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Jul 10 - 02:11 AM I agree... some nut always seems to screw things up a bit. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: MC Fat Date: 01 Jul 10 - 02:57 AM David's wife Monkey will possibly be a guest member in the support group Jock's Trap |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Tim Leaning Date: 01 Jul 10 - 05:26 AM Love the spanners do the Irish washer woman, though not sure is suitable for a mixed gathering. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Jul 10 - 05:43 AM These comments just reminded me of what happened at Blitherscrum about four months ago.... A patient from the 'Special Unit' at the local Mental Hospital escaped, went into Blitherscrum Laundrette, raped three women and ran off. The headlines in the following days Blitherscrum Guardian were "Nut screws washers and bolts"! |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,MC Fat (at work) Date: 01 Jul 10 - 06:17 AM Wasn't that the same nutters who killed two people at Blitherscrum TESCOs. Apparantly he was a hitman called Artie and he would top off people for a quid. This Blitherscrum resident wanted his wife bumped off so he shows Artie a photo of her and says she does the weekly shop every Thursday at TESCO. Artie follows her round and every time he tries to choke her there's someone around eventually she has nearly finished her shop so he just goes for it a throttles her but a till girl has noticed so as he flees he strangles her too the headline that time was ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR A POUND AT TESCO |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,old git Date: 01 Jul 10 - 06:55 AM Don't you just love traditional jokes!! |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,old git Date: 01 Jul 10 - 07:06 AM Apparently the fringe is featuring the Spanners' tribute group "Steeleye Spanner" |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,MC Fat (at work) Date: 01 Jul 10 - 07:28 AM Aren't THE ALBUMEN BAND reforming too |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Jul 10 - 07:35 AM Anyway, to get back to the serious business of the Festival.... The fish and chip shop will not be serving peas this year as the word 'peas' is no longer PC..... It sounds too much like pees. We are still looking for Stewards for this years event.... so far we have only three only...Jo King Will Guidum... and E Jectum........ Jo King has been around the Blitherscrum Festival for a number of years and always gets a good laugh. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,old git Date: 01 Jul 10 - 07:55 AM does that mean the chippie won't be serving pollock either? |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,old git Date: 01 Jul 10 - 07:59 AM or cod pieces? |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 01 Jul 10 - 08:01 AM Kika Mout doesn't take any nonsense and might be available. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Vic Smith Date: 01 Jul 10 - 08:55 AM Maureen Myjobsworth is a good person to have on the door for any event... except, of course, that she makes it a rule never to let people get in. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Jul 10 - 09:17 AM The Cloakroom for those who wish to leave items of over clothing will be manned this year again by our two Asian friends Mahatma Coat and Mayum Brela |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 01 Jul 10 - 09:24 AM But please try to avoid Renata Bogroll in the toilets this time. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Vic Smith Date: 01 Jul 10 - 11:30 AM Yes. let's a better role for Renata and while we are about it could we have someone different on the sound desk than Noah I. Deer? |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,old git Date: 01 Jul 10 - 11:35 AM Kent Cummin should keep out any undesirables |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 01 Jul 10 - 04:28 PM No, that's C.Sonticketsonly's job. Rhonnda Vapplause doing the MC'ing, no doubt. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 01 Jul 10 - 05:34 PM Could be Avina Goodclap MCing....... Mike Ondablink and Ivor Duffone are sorting the PA system again. Promises to be the best Festival ever this year.. who's coming then?? |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 02 Jul 10 - 06:25 AM Apparently Jezlo is bringing his backing group 'The Bad Penis' this year.... The committee has decided on a new strategy regarding health and safety and the decibel limit... guitar strings at this years festival must be made of cotton or some softer material thus reducing the sound output to a reasonable level.... and bodhrans cannot have skins but must be made of silk or satin on the wood frame. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 02 Jul 10 - 06:33 AM Jolly good ideas. Any chance dancers' bells could to be made of candy floss, or at least be baffled between sunset and sunrise? As indeed most festival goers are. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 02 Jul 10 - 06:50 AM By the way, I saw The Bad Penis when Penny Cillin was with them. They were good live but I wouldn't touch their re-issued VDV. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 02 Jul 10 - 03:31 PM They said they didn't have D VD |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 02 Jul 10 - 05:20 PM Avina Goodclap might know something about it. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 03 Jul 10 - 12:40 AM Whilst on the subject... the problem with the PA last year... not 'transmitting!' has been solved It was not an electrically transmitted disease but a bug in the system. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Tangledwood Date: 03 Jul 10 - 05:02 AM It is regretted but the Health and Safety have been checking out the Morris Dancing and come up with the following requirements for all morris dancing whether it be In Private (the best place for 'em) or in Public (Heaven forfend):- Where used Hankies are to be in Dayglo colours. Does the committee think this to be a progessive course of action? Dave Dayglo colours would certainly aid in avoiding used Hankies but the progressive course of action would to be to use disposable tissues which should be disposed of, thoughtfully, after every dance. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Vic Smith Date: 03 Jul 10 - 08:32 AM I feel that the Blitherscrum Folk Festival would have been able to hold its head up higher on the folk scene - and would have been able to have book a more attractive bill for 2010 if it had not been for the dubious activities and actions of the financial sub-committee. I propose to name them here as the current Blitherscrum organisers are deparately seeking to trace the three women involved. They are:- May Doff Viv All Dee Takings I believe that the Blitherscrum police would also like to talk to these people. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: GUEST,Gail Date: 03 Jul 10 - 09:48 AM If I had known May was involved I could have alerted you to one of her known accomplices, her East Asian father in law Mr.Ying. I'd be surprised if this crime was just May Doff without Pa Ying. This is most disappointing news. Although I am a newbie, a mere Blitherscrum Lately, I had scrubbed my schedules ready for this festival. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Vic Smith Date: 03 Jul 10 - 12:15 PM It must also be admitted that the song repertoire of some of the festival regulars includes some dreadfully hackneyed material. I'm talking about the likes of:- Ivy Beana Will Drover-Form Ann E. O'Year Come on you three! Learn some new songs! |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 03 Jul 10 - 06:34 PM Although both have had problems with their backs.. The McClavicles are appearing this year..... So pleased they can shoulder the weight of performing at our wonderful Festival..... Blary Mack may also put in an appearance so I am informed. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Vic Smith Date: 03 Jul 10 - 06:58 PM Even at this late stage, Blitherscrum Morris are hoping to recruit new dancers as old age and decrepitude has been taking its toll. Contact any of the current active members who are:- Fee Tup Hans A. Rowan Arth Jip Kay Pers Cy D. Steppe Gay Lee Dan Sout |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Georgiansilver Date: 05 Jul 10 - 01:41 AM Since there are areas of the caravanning field which have grass growing at a greater rate than in others, only caravans with toilets will be admitted this year. Anyone planning on using said field must get in touch with Family Planning before booking to check on Health and Safety measures. |
Subject: RE: Blitherscrum Folk Festival are GO! From: Mr Red Date: 05 Jul 10 - 10:30 AM Is the inclusion of Mandy Green any way connected with Miss Sheard? |
