Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 13 Mar 10 - 08:00 PM I had a belter of a session round my gaff the other night but the session tonight was naff. I was tired . I had had a all nighter the night before doing gawd knows what had a rotten head and body this morning and felt drained ,tired and was half hearted. Frame of mind has a lot to do withp laying properly and accurately and when one does perform the latter you are both please with the people you play with and beside with yourself. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 13 Mar 10 - 07:51 PM If you make a cock up playing ,smile ,nod and find the chord and carry on. If you can acknowledge it your self then folk wont have much of a opinion and none the more for that if you carry on and finish what you are doing then at least you have started and finished. The only time one should I think stop and start again is in the first few bars. Its takes time for me to warm up and forget the nerves (6Pints Normally} Then I play a belter and I hear folk say "Stop now Pierre that was great. Thats the kinda of wit I like . Does that make sense? Regards to all Pierre. |

Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: morning wood Date: 13 Mar 10 - 04:26 AM "Maybe we should consider a summer folcecue with open mic this year - to give a certain MEMBER a chance to wear his mankini." Don't make it July as I'm usually busy Busy in July Anyway the mankini does a great flossing job! Not sure that I'm brave/able enough yet to come along this month, makes me bloody nervous just thinking about it!! Paul. |

Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: VirginiaTam Date: 12 Mar 10 - 04:06 PM If it is near St George's Day, doesn't Upnor usually have something going on then? |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: GUEST Date: 12 Mar 10 - 03:27 PM Well, I'm all for an April event but having to drive in means not as much of an attack on the barrel as I'd like. Al |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Crow Sister (off with the fairies) Date: 12 Mar 10 - 03:20 PM For the last one, the weather was shite. I kinda prefer the slightly less packed vibe myself - even if it's not so good for the beer. I'd like to see an April do... April 18th almost coincides with St. Georges Day & FAF week, in case it's of any moment. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 12 Mar 10 - 02:45 PM I am glad to say that the fakebook group now has 18 members (some of whom have not got members, if you get my drift) but that is still not a full house. So if there is anyone you know on Fakebook who ought to be a member please point them in the right direction. So to speak. Maybe we should consider a summer folcecue with open mic this year - to give a certain MEMBER a chance to wear his mankini. I am only mildly miffed with the parish council. And the reason is that I would have thought they might prefer nice quiet folkies in the Nags than rowdy pillocks. Ho hum. Hoping for a good turnout on the 21st. Maybe we can have a straw poll about whether there should be one in April (maybe the 18th, does anyone know what else is on in April?) when we see what sort of turnout we have this time. I was a bit disappointed at the last one, and the barrel of beer seemed to linger on in the pub for ever. We have to do most of that barrel in if we want Peter to keep getting one specially for us. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 11 Mar 10 - 03:56 PM Haw ,Haw Thank fuck you didnt put a banner up? |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 11 Mar 10 - 03:47 PM Parish councils, cassocks and bed shirts wide floppy hats Pious folk about a few leaflets? The going on in the Nags Head are great fore people who every now and again want to play mucis and have FUN. What is the matter with them? |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 11 Mar 10 - 03:40 PM Richard put a link up re video of "Read my lips. If we watch it enough we might get the point? |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 11 Mar 10 - 03:37 PM I am not the only one who got the impression re 28th March? Having said that I think the confusion may come from last years lower stokes events. It does not matter. Who cares so long has its happens. Pissed off re missing it last time due to thoughtless sister. Dont wanna miss this one. I think its more of a concern that someone complained about flyers in the village. Dead horse I love your humor. But having lived in a village for much of my married life I put the flyers issue down to the saying thats "It Takes all sorts. Kindest regards to all Pierre. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: VirginiaTam Date: 11 Mar 10 - 02:10 PM not for me... I put all the dates when they were first published and emailed to me in my outlook calendar... Am I teacher's pet ☺ |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Dead Horse Date: 11 Mar 10 - 12:58 PM Bang goes their entry for the best kept village in Kent, then :-) |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 11 Mar 10 - 06:35 AM Read my lips: there never ever was a 28th date. it was always the 21st. Back to school and detention for the lot of you! I am tickled that the parish council has formally written to Peter the landlord to complain that someone had flyposted the village. I wonder who might have done that? |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: fisheye Date: 11 Mar 10 - 06:30 AM sorry Richard, babs and I planned to be at the 28th date. A good reason to change for you unfortunately we shall be in Scotland that weekend. Hopefully if an April date happens we can attend. fisheye |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 11 Mar 10 - 01:33 AM My supervisor booked the wrong date in the leave book at work. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 10 Mar 10 - 06:00 PM Right In have booked off the 21st March. My supervisor said "I wish you make your bloody mind up. "Pierre Le chapeau is confused again" (My supervisiors a Ape faced old git anyway) |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 10 Mar 10 - 04:25 PM Herewith my post starting the LC WS Freds this year: - Subject: Lower Coke Winter sings (Kent, UK) From: Richard Bridge - PM Date: 05 Jan 10 - 06:58 PM OK, after much blandishment, and Paddy and the landlord Peter both having bribed me with alcohol, and having taken due account of the risk of re-appearing on the 'cat, here is the eagerly awaited announcement of the Lower Coke (Upper Dogsbotham) winter sings, on the ground that no-one else appears to be doing anything competitive. Folkies do not compete, they co-exist. It is the music of the people. Right. Here is the plan. From opening time until closing time or earlier surrender to darts matches, darts competitions for the Sunday joint (meat, what else might I have meant?) foolsball on the square eyed God - usually till about 6-ish or 7-ish on the following Sundays: - Jan 31 Feb 28 Mar 21. Where? Oh, silly me! The Nag's Head, Lower Stoke, Near Rochester, Kent, ME3 9RD. It's in Hogarth's diaries doncher kno? Promises of a real fire (maybe 2), roast spuds, maybe some Yorkshire puds, proper beer under gravity on the bar, and great acoustics thanks to the wood floor. NB if you have specific real beer requests for Kentish Beers or Beers of Kent, PM me URGENTLY as beer arrangements are likely to occur on Monday 11 Jan. Beer ties being what they are suggestions for non-Sheps beers will be treated confidentially, hint, hint. If I like you selected invitees may, in my discretion, receive squidge in my gaff over the road on termination. Squidge comes in variants. Basically there will be veggie (actually I mean Vegan for the real fanatics) stoo, plus the adjuncts to vary it: there may be a pot of meat stuff to turn the meat into meat stoo, and a pot of very peppery and chilified stuff to turn either the meat stoo or the Vegan stoo into dragon fuel – stand back and strike match (at either end). At least that is the plan. Remember I have a dog and my lodger has a cat, so allergenists may be discommoded. You will then kindly please F orf to assist me to be unpleasant at work on Monday. Paddy is back in the village and may bring his banjo, so please encourage him. I propose to message Jeff, perhaps the best serial murderer on the clawhammer guitar in the county. I have just tonight met a traveller who may invite some of the local travelling families who remember the old songs to come (this is a long shot, I have been after one of the Rai to come and sing old songs for some time, to no avail – he prefers Elvis.) All guarantees warranties and/or conditions and/or innominate terms, express or implied, whether statutory or otherwise, save as expressed above are hereby excluded. I accept no liability of any kind or nature whatsoever. Any attendee by act or omission causing any actual or alleged damage or liability to me will on demand keep and hold me fully and effectually indemnified against any cost claim or liability of any nature whatsoever arising out of the event or their attendance.

Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 10 Mar 10 - 01:49 PM Thanks John Thats good news has I have a lot of leave sitting on a Sidmouth strewarding placement and looking forward to it very much. Kind regards Pierre, |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: The Barden of England Date: 10 Mar 10 - 01:35 PM Pierre - Sidmouth WILL want you - they just take their time. Don't fret. There are NEVER enough Stewards John Barden |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Dead Horse Date: 10 Mar 10 - 01:20 PM I have given Faceboot the book, or is it the other way round? I got really bored with inane comments from young twerps who are either related or friends of related or just plain obnoxious types I dont know anyway. Who the hell wants to assist virtual farmers with their fertilizer or become a friend of 10 Ways To Insult A Corn-beef Sandwich? |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 10 Mar 10 - 01:14 PM ok The event was set for Sunday 28th then and then changed to the 21st. It does not matter Richard I was just looking forward to it has I was the last one. I will try to book it off has "leave in leiu which is all I have left to take. There again if Sidmouth dont get there finger out and contact me regarding stewarding I will withdraw the 10 days leave I have put in to cover Sidmouth. and have ten days to reuse I aint awaiting forever for them lifes too short. Parlava. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 10 Mar 10 - 10:04 AM It was never Sun 31 Mar - not least because 31 Mar is a Weds! |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 10 Mar 10 - 10:01 AM I have only just noticed, This event has been moved back 10 days I had transport on the 31st and the day off to boot. Now the event is the 21st whereby I have no transport (Fisheye away) engineering works, with replacement bus service on my line> and I am working on that night so I will have to take the night off and I have no leave left because I am doing sweeps, Pigs Ear. 2 knockholts, and umpteen other day events, including Sidmouth I look forward to the april event . |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: GUEST,Abdul at work Date: 08 Mar 10 - 11:23 PM Well I look forward to hearing it and hopefully, Richard, at the April Lower Coke session if it is to be. Or if it is not to be, in Rochester. Al |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: morning wood Date: 08 Mar 10 - 10:37 AM Al, how very dare you when I own a Martin!! Oh, and a Yamaha, a spongebob square pants flying v uke and some other bits of dross. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: GUEST,Abdul the .....sans cookie Date: 08 Mar 10 - 09:57 AM Is that your surname or your guitar morning wood? Al |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 08 Mar 10 - 06:03 AM PMs sent to both the above |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: melodeonboy Date: 08 Mar 10 - 05:30 AM Is Faceache really the most efficient way of disseminating information? I'm rather reluctant to waste time on the thing unless it's absolutely necessary; it sounds more trouble than it's worth. And I've got things to do, people to see and songs to sing, you know! :) I'm not completely sure why you don't want to use Mudcat, Richard, though I have my suspicions! PM me if appropriate. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: morning wood Date: 08 Mar 10 - 05:29 AM I DID join the facebook group but I think I've been booted off!! Perhaps because I'm an unknown or the mankini offended ;-) Paul (Taylor). |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 08 Mar 10 - 05:02 AM Dear Riyad Rover You use a known email (or mudcat PM) to ask the user if the Fakebook ident is him her or it. Doh! Or you wait until you meet the person (for example in the pool of the hotel Triton, Torremolinos, doing the breaststroke) and ask. Or you message on Fakebook to ask for a detail that you hope only you and the "Friend"'s real identity knows. Lots of ways. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: GUEST,Edward Camelface Date: 08 Mar 10 - 04:46 AM If we all carry out steps 1-4 the step 5 is impossible as there will be a load of false names with animal faces so how do we know whether to accept the friend request or not? |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: melodeonboy Date: 08 Mar 10 - 04:12 AM As Pete would say, "What a palaver!". |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 08 Mar 10 - 03:37 AM I should prefer it. I am becoming increasingly concerned about the Mudcat. If you do: 1. Go to gmx and get a discardable email address. 2. Use a false name that only friends will recognise you by, possibly a reference from a song you are known for. 3. Do not put up a picture, or use one of a camel or something. 4. Max out all your privacy settings. 5. Accept "Friend" requests only from identities that you are sure are really the people they purport to be and whom you know and trust. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: melodeonboy Date: 08 Mar 10 - 02:53 AM Does that mean that I've got to sign up to "Faceache" to find out what's happening? |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 07 Mar 10 - 09:11 PM Indeed I should be grateful if the above facebook group could be used as the primary point of communication about the Lower Coke Winter sings |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 06 Mar 10 - 08:04 PM Just in case my rupture with the Mudcat becomes irreconcilable I thought I'd create: - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=359561594296 I may also create suitable groups regarding relevant summer events. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Richard Bridge Date: 06 Mar 10 - 07:16 PM No, Pierre, we expect it. |
Subject: RE: Lower Coke Sun 21 Mar From: Pierre Le Chapeau Date: 06 Mar 10 - 05:37 PM Sorry about the Gibberish above? |
