Here I am - nobody was posting yesterday so I had to get on and work

I didn't have a winner on the National - Someone suggested Slim Pickings at work but the local bookie in Barton ran off with all the money and hasn't been seen since and I was too lazy to go elsewhere

Evidently someone had a £10,000 bet on the Gold Cup and was expecting over £60,000 in winnings - they broke the bank

I once cycled over Bodmin Moor - it's very high and hilly

But nice sandwiches

So where was Mr Scrivener today?

Off round the world with his Grand National winnings?

Or even as far as Bodmin?

Hi John - yes, that is bad news about Paul & Frankie

There is a thread here - thread.cfm?threadid=100362&messages=73#2025450

I think the mudcat name Scrump has confused Mudcatters

I hope everyone joins me in wishing Paul/Scrump a full recovery

Cheers Guest - Bodmin sounds interesting?

As retold told by Roger Bryant at the Bodmin folk club yesterday night

Whats the difference between a shag and a cormorant?




You cant get a cormorant in Bodmin on a Saturday night

Hi

have you see the thread about Scrump having a bad car accident?
He was quite seriously injured.

It seems it will be some time before we hear from him again.

A recent scientific study found that women find different male faces attractive depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle.
For example, when a woman is ovulating she will prefer a man with rugged, masculine features.
However when she is menstruating, she prefers a man doused in petrol and set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a cricket stump shoved up his arse.

Good to see you are calling it the Common

Say the village green to us locals and we go berserk

There is a blue lagoon in Arlesey

Which is quite close to fairfield hospital before it closed

Where they have black squirrels

We have a variety of monsters in Stevenage. But I think that your pond monsters turned up in 'Creatures from the Blue Lagoon'. That wss a scary film.

I will have to take my laser gun now to get to Redbourn car park tonight in case they materialise on the Common.

Hi

I have just seen the last episode of Life On Mars, having missed the rest of the series. I am glad I didn't read your post first Ross, or you'd have given away the ending!

That's what happens if you wear a leather jacket - timeless fashion.

I went to The Globe last night. It was a good night with all 3 of Rick's band. (That's The Globe Dunstable, not Shakespeare's with The Doctor). Oh dear , all this time travel is warping my reality. Let's focus on reality - The Bull, Barton and...........

Hi PA - yes it was very good - life on Mars

I think I understood the ending - was it a clever twist

He was really living in the 70's and the future was fantasy

Or was it?

How did he?................oh never mind

Watched the final episode of Life on Mars - brill, and they actually played my favourite Tom Waits song, and my husband cooked dinner - does life get any better.

Is there a demand in Morris Dancing?

The reason for the St Neots Folk Club moving is the King's Head has been raided and closed down for drug dealing - shock/horror

Messages from Theo at the Unicorn magazine

A couple of messages that have come our way that may be of interest to you.

Firstly, Pump House Clog Morris is a women's North West side, founded in June 1979. The group is for women dancers and mixed musicians and they meet at Pump House, Local Board Road, Watford, on Mondays at 8pm from September to May. During summer the group performs at various venues, and they are desperately looking for musicians (male or female) to join them, otherwise they may have to cancel some or all of their bookings planned for this summer. If you can help, please call Sue Rawlins on 01727 823791.

Secondly, St. Neots Folk Club has a new venue as from this Tuesday (10th Apr), as the King's Head will be closed.
From now on they will meet at The Priory Centre, St. Neots, which is situated on the banks of the River Ouse, close to the Market Square. For more information on the club call Patti Pitt on 01234 376278.

Hello Easter Bunnies - Oh it's midnight here - Easter has arrived.

I went to Orpington Folk Club on Friday and had a nice evening. A man sung one of Yvonne's songs. I won a raffle prize.

Well if the truth be told - nobody else wanted the third prize which was a box of Cadbury's creme eggs. So it was offered out to any takers and I was the only one. Wasn't that kind.

I hear there's a vacancy in Iran for a fishing crew.

There are lots of jokes doing the rounds here about the fact that the only woman on the boat just happened to be reading the maps.
Another said they would not have been caught if she were driving, cos she would still be trying to reverse out of the parking space.

I think I'll be sending a few more abroad if they keep it up. One way tickets to Bolivia are quite cheap at the moment.
