For many many years, in Henley-on-Thames,has there been a dress-shop called " Gladys Falloon ", so at least we know that the word exists, if only as a surname. As to SOH- well, I can't say I really like them very much. I personally think that PB is a talented and gifted musician,whilst SK is supremely egotistical to the point almost of narcissism,and his boring songs all sound the same to me. But if I had an OBE to spare, I would certainly give Miranda one !!

Lets stop pissing about with interim measures, and go for immediate canonisation.

I rest my case.

To qualify for canonisation you need to be dead, and SOH don't deserve that.

I didn't know you had to be dead. Couldn't we waive the rules - its a very deserving case.

Show of Hands are Godlike and kick arse! I think they should be elevated to the Peerage today.

"As I stated before the only people calling SOH folk are the anti SOH crowd, nowhere in any interview have Steve Knightley or Phil Beer ever said they are folk".

Here's one where they do. They have called themselves folk at most gigs of theirs I have been at too.

Living Tradition

Sod MBEs. Where are their EFDSS Gold Medals is what I want to know? They have both done just as much for folk as some of its recipients. I think it might surprise some EFDSS Council Members just how many traditional songs there are in the Show of Hands repertoire, but then they might actually need to listen to Show of Hands play or more than one CD to find out.

PEACE: The Screamin' Habdabs

THAT is the best name I have ever heard for a rock group.

Personally I always wanted a rock group called the Sex Mittens. Made up of ex-members of the Love Puppets.

ELEVATED to the peerage, PR? It would be a downward step for me:-P

Incidently. Why does Prince Philip keep his chamber pot on top of the wardrobe? Becasue he is the highest peer in the land.

:D

EFDSS awards gold badges, not medals. If anyone from within the membership nominated SoH, I'm sure it would be given due consideration by the panel.

Are you a member, Liam? You could nominate them yourself.
