Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,Ronan Keating Date: 01 Feb 02 - 08:32 AM I'm a rocker I'm a roller, too, honey (Jaysus, Snowy ... it was nice o' you to ask me to take over from Phil in the new line-up. Rumour was you were goin' to ask Stephen Gately!) |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: Fibula Mattock Date: 01 Feb 02 - 08:35 AM QUICK!! Someone zip up the door of this tent. I've just seen Brian Kennedy out there. ("Put Brian Kennedy in a box/Put the box into a car/Drive the car to a cliff and push it off"). Next thing Bono will be up there doin' his bit for World Peace. I don't think I can stomach that without bokin' my ring up. |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,The Edge Date: 01 Feb 02 - 08:39 AM Thank Christ there's a bit more room in this new tent! I was squashed in there between Lupari and Barney McKenna in that last place.

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,Footnote Date: 01 Feb 02 - 08:54 AM You might think that the Eamonn Holmes stuff is an irrelevance. But, the other day I came across THIS! Eamonn's Ireland advert on Amazon Is this the funniest thing you've ever seen or what? What would thon tube know about music? |
|
Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,UTV Community Message Date: 01 Feb 02 - 09:03 AM (Cue crap Community Message music) Subtitle (superimposed on a picture of a sunset or the suchlike): DRUMCREE CAMPSITE (formerly one of the Four Green Fields) (There follows a slide show of positive images such as beardy singer/songwriters; soldiers crouching down to talk to children; bowler-hatted individuals laughing avuncularly; spides in band uniforms playing football; more sunsets; possibly a Tommy Sands song playing softly in the background.) Voiceover (read slowly in a culchie accent with precise enunciation and some kind of learning disorder): "This summer, musicians from all over Northern Ireland and the Republic are coming together in a campsite to promote understanding and cultural awareness. Do you have a part you can play? Can you bring the gift of music to Drumcree? If so, why not contact any member of U2 who will be happy to have you watch them stand on top of a hill and hold hands with politicians. Let's work together to put the harmony back into all our lives" (More jangly community music to fade.) Van the Man chips in "Wouldn't it be great if it was like this all the time?" (Repeat ad nauseum during the ad break every teatime before Frank Mitchell comes back on to do weatherwatchers and to tell you where tonight's cryptic clue referred to.) |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,Gino Lupari Date: 01 Feb 02 - 09:03 AM Holmes ... I'll own up to being a big, fat man. Fair do's! But you're just a skinny wee gawk who's been slappin' too much Kerrygold on his sodie farls! |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,Gloria Hunniford Date: 01 Feb 02 - 09:06 AM If you stopped lyin' about on your hole all day like a churn a-dryin', you'd soon lose a bit of thon beef, Eamonn! (By the way ... good to see The Portadown News in the house!) |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,Puzzle Corner Date: 01 Feb 02 - 09:16 AM Seein' that the word "spides" was referred to in a post above, here's a wee poser that those of us of a certain vintage might be able to answer … "What is the origin of the derogatory expression "spides"?"
|
|
Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: Fibula Mattock Date: 01 Feb 02 - 09:17 AM I do believe it stems from "spiderman", from tattoos? |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,Head of NI Papular Culcher, QUB Date: 01 Feb 02 - 09:49 AM In February 1979, Good Vibrations Records released a 4-track e.p. called "Battle Of The Bands". Three punkish bands – Rudi, The Outcasts and The Idiots – and one bunch of very straight, moustache-touting lachakoes, called "The Spiderz". The cheap artwork which graced the fold-out cover included the question "Who are the spidermen?". Shortly after, people of a punky persuasion began referring to those who were "non-aligned" (in a musical sub-tribe sense) as "spidermen", "spidies" or "spides". |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,Christy Moore Date: 01 Feb 02 - 11:07 AM Ah Jaysus this is great! "Westlife" are only after doin' a fockin great a cappella version of "Dearg Doom". Only beltin', it was! Now I'm goin' to do another funny song for yez "Don't forget your fiddle if you go to Portydown Don't forget your groundsheet, else you're sleeping on the ground Which isn't very pleasant when the rain is tippin' down Fal-dee-deedle-do Pity oul' Phil Lynott wasn't with us at Drumcree Beltin' out "The Rocker" and crooning "Rosalie" He'd be chattin' up Sinead and soon he'd have her on his knee Fal-da-deedle-do And poor oul' Rory Gallagher, he'd have loved to have a strum Him and Noel Redding, wi' Ringo on the drums Joining in on vocals, my main man Pecker Dunne Deedle-eedle-do Where is Terry Wogan, let's have him for MC Him and oul' Gay Byrne and from the UTV Let's have Gerry Kelly – he looks like one of we Deedle-all-de-day He's a big oul' hairy bugger with a belly big and round He's as fat as Eamonn Holmes, begod, although maybe pound for pound More talent in Gerry Kelly would probably be found Dal-the-deedle-do" |

Subject: RE: Campsite at Drumcree II From: GUEST,Mairéad Ní Mhaoinaigh Date: 01 Feb 02 - 11:33 AM Shove your arses over there, boys and let a real musician into the company ... Donal ... give us a wee 6/8 riff in G, a wee bit like the intro you did for the "Kesh Jig" with the Bothy Band. (Lunny strums. Lupari hits the bodhrán a dunder or two. Cooney joins in with a restrained bit of picking. Arty McGlynn slides in tastefully.) Ah, jaysus that's lovely. (Mairéad is about to pull her bow across the strings, when the spell is suddenly shattered as Brush Shiels windmills a huge big fockin power-chord.) Get that hoor's get the fock outa here. And take Bob Geldof with him, would ye? |

When I stuck the neb into the Poland situation the Russkies were'nt long gettin' the fuck out. Isn't that right Guido. (turns to Swiss guard) Guido: Yes Holiness. Holiness we have a small problem.

We ended up goin' into Lurgan to catch Rudi at the Ashburn. I scored some Es for Derek Bell off Enya. (But since he didn't want them I sold them on to Brendan Shine.) Eamonn Holmes - the carn - drunk about four dozen Bailey, hoiked his ring up and then tried to slip the han' on Caron Keating. Great crack. Up the republic. |
