Subject: BS: Newbie From: Sarah_M Date: 17 May 03 - 01:30 PM I've been lurking and browsing here on and off for a while, thought it was about time I registered and introduced myself. My name is Sarah and I'm based in Manchester, UK. A regular at the Full Circle club which meets every Friday at the Hare & Hounds, and formerly was a regular at Pete Wardle's "Manchester Unplugged" which has done the rounds of many city centre pubs (the highlight was at the Rising Sun with Mike & Irene - anyone remember that?) So I've been round-and-about the local folk/blues scene here for about 8-10 years. And of course I'm curious if there's anyone here at Mudcat that I know? I sing, mainly, but lately (at the grand age of 36) I'm learning to play guitar. xxx Sarah |
Subject: RE: BS: BS: Newbie From: John MacKenzie Date: 17 May 03 - 01:48 PM Welcome Sarah, 36 eh, well I'm 20 for the third time, and 36 seems spring chickenish to me. I'm old enough to remember the old MSG, those were the days; anyway enjoy. Giok |
Subject: RE: BS: BS: Newbie From: Amos Date: 17 May 03 - 06:02 PM Welcome to membership, Sarah! Pleasure to have you around, I am sure -- spring chickens always welcome! Don't feed the trolls or stand downwind of Mister Patterson. No magnets in the vicinity of Spaw's tocker. Do not buy drinks for anyone from Hull. Do not ask about the Reg boys or start a debate on what folk music is. Provide your own tiple, for sanitary reasons. Aside from that, relax and enjoy! A |
Subject: RE: BS: BS: Newbie From: Sorcha Date: 17 May 03 - 06:04 PM Hi Sarah, Welcome to the zoo. We're only dangerous at feeding time! Or, when jOhn9 from Planet Hull has had too many bears......... |
Subject: RE: BS: BS: Newbie From: Crane Driver Date: 17 May 03 - 06:40 PM Hi Sarah. Only been to Manchester once, and don't remember ANYTHING. Nevermind, welcome to the real world. If you want real, instant insanity on a stick, try the Mudchat. You'll never be the same again. Andrew |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: stevetheORC Date: 17 May 03 - 06:57 PM Ignore the lot above they are all certified insane, beware of Joh9o from Hull and his rampaging Goldfish and join us all in chat at some stage for the most part we are civilised LOL De Orc |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: artbrooks Date: 17 May 03 - 07:09 PM Welcome, and beware of Oakley, stay out of the strewberry jello pit, and never say anything unkind about William Shatner (you know, the has-been actor and in-name-only author of bad science fiction novels). |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: smallpiper Date: 17 May 03 - 07:33 PM That bit about buying people from Hull drinks is wrong it should read "Always buy people from Hull drinks".... Welcome to the insane zone! (Watch out for Oakley's inventions) Oh and anything with a 9 in it is good! |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Gareth Date: 17 May 03 - 07:39 PM Welcom to the madhouse. Gareth |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Cluin Date: 17 May 03 - 11:30 PM Hi Sarah M. Maybe you know me. Didn't we meet at the Blue Moon Cafe in Lafayette in fall of 1987? Ever been there? No? Me neither. Must've been two other folks. |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: GUEST,.gargoyle Date: 18 May 03 - 12:16 AM Greetings Sarah M.
Hare and Hounds is a grand sport.
Step back for a moment while I piss in your beer.
Sincerely, |

Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: khandu Date: 18 May 03 - 11:36 AM Welcome, Sarah! It is a pleasure to have you onboard! However, it is imperative that you post on the MOTHER OF ALL BS THREADS! It is an un-spoken requirement for all newbies! As a poster on this the MOAB thread, you get certain "perks". You will have your name in the most-historic thread ever published on the net. Future generations will speak of you as a MOAB contributor! You will live in infamy!!! Your car will crank better and you will find you guitar playing will grow by leaps and bounds!! So, don't be afraid...jump into the deep water, if you flounder, someone will lend you a hand! Kk |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Duckboots Date: 18 May 03 - 11:49 AM Welcome Sarah. This place is fascinating. I'm originally from Glasgow and Keighley and 'married into folk music'. You'll soon find out who's writing from the asylum! Duckboots |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Noreen Date: 18 May 03 - 08:03 PM Hi Sarah! Yes, lots of Manchester catters, a fair few of whom have been away for the weekend at the Yorkshire gathering. I live in Bury, and have sung at the Hare & Hounds a few times (and work with Sean) but found it too smoky the last couple off times I went :0( |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: khandu Date: 18 May 03 - 08:18 PM Probably the best way to see who is "writing from the asylum" is to visit the "asylum" threads...such as, THE MOTHER OF ALL BS THREADS k |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Amos Date: 18 May 03 - 08:43 PM Khandu, by the way, fancies himself of royal lineage and stature, although he is in fact a poor country boy from Mississippi. This sort of compensatory mechanism has various names depending on whether they are Freudian dreams or Jungian dreams, but in any case they are beyond the scope of things to take seriously, even here. And that is saying some!! :>) A |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: khandu Date: 18 May 03 - 09:21 PM There is my dear friend, Amos, doing his usual, following me around from thread to thread, attempting to undermine all that I say! He is somewhat jealous because he knows he will never become the King of Mississippi as I once was! Sarah, Amos is one of those of whom Duckboots spoke! ;-) Ken |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Cluin Date: 18 May 03 - 09:37 PM Break it up, you two! Other people wanna get to the veggies & dip as well. |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Amos Date: 18 May 03 - 11:57 PM K: Your usual head-in-the-butt logic is showing. It always has to be about you, doesn't it? So I am following you around even though I came to this thread at 6:02 the evening it started and you wandered by at 11 the next morning? Hmmmmmmm? But.... soft -- I know the smallest notion of a personal flaw can set you off, ole pal, so rest easy and have it your way. Just consider me nodding and smiling. A |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Doug_Remley Date: 19 May 03 - 04:05 AM Greetings! This place is surreal. |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: nutty Date: 19 May 03 - 09:42 AM Hi Sarah It's a shame that you missed the Yorkshire Gathering -- then you would have learned, first hand, who to avoid. Still there's always next year. There should be a goodly number of catters at Saddleworth Folk Festival ..... if you get there be sure to introduce yourself. |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: GUEST,HD Date: 19 May 03 - 10:23 AM Gee, I wonder if Duckboots' idea of the 'asylum Writers' is the same as yours Khandu? I doubt if she means the 3 or 4 '24/7' Mudcatters, more likely the one who goes from totally incomprehensible to just plain mean. You can recognise the poster from the combination of Scripture and Scatology. Welcome Sarah. HD |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: MMario Date: 19 May 03 - 10:36 AM I think she got scared away - only the one post from her. And you notice I refrained from asking her if she wanted to transcribe all five volumes of Child, or all four volumes of Bronson - or even the 32 hours of taped original songs moldering in the garage... |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: John MacKenzie Date: 19 May 03 - 01:11 PM Is Khandu the king that Huck Finn and Jim met while travelling down the Mississippi on a raft?? Giok. |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: MMario Date: 19 May 03 - 01:16 PM I don't think he's that old... |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: Doug_Remley Date: 19 May 03 - 06:31 PM What happened to Sarah? If she's been lurking about reading threads she knows she's not in Kansas anymore. |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: greg stephens Date: 19 May 03 - 06:41 PM Welcome welcome. There are a lot of Americans about and some people from Yorkshire, but ignore that and it's quite civilised. By the way, what is your definition of "folk music"? |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: khandu Date: 19 May 03 - 10:05 PM Alas, I am undone, I am bereft. Amos has revealed me for what I am... a fraud. No, I have no Royal Blood...I am a mere poor country boy trying his best to fit in a world made for some one else. I even invented the persona known as "khandu". I am really nothing like him. I am a lowly dog. I am sorry. Nonetheless, Welcome, Sarah!! Really, we are glad to have you here! We look forward to hearing more from you! Ken |
Subject: RE: BS: Newbie From: artbrooks Date: 19 May 03 - 11:33 PM And don't pay any attention to Ken-doodoo |
