Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Eric the Viking Date: 03 Oct 01 - 01:55 PM And beware, the saxons and the vikings are my kinfolk (except the bloody normans-pigs!) So Beware the Northmen are coming, you may prey to be spared from the wrath, like Bede, but it'll do ye no good. for armed with axe, sword and dagger-(us Vikings are tough and need no shield for Odin and Thor watch over us!) we come on a pilage ! We come to pilage yore houses and rape your sheep!!!! And if that isn't enough---I'll sing to ye until ye scream "veritable mercy be given unto us" What say ye, shall we cross Ofers Dyke and be done? I have cast the Runes and the omens are good! |

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Gareth Date: 03 Oct 01 - 02:58 PM Ahhh ! History repeats it'self - an alliance of the People and the Norsemen against the Saxons and Normans. Tis true, the Alliance between Gynedd and Dublin lasted for many years. Be warned the white sheets are not the KKK - we used burning cages, not crosses. Gareth

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Oct 01 - 05:26 PM Eric, did I mention that Vikings settled in Dorset (we have 3 types of sheep all of our own) and that my home village (well, it would have been if my granfer hadn't had to stop for the milking and I wasn't so keen to get into the world....) has Viking roots.... even down to a Viking name - Abodes Berig! The blonde hair is all my own, as you will shortly see in the new calendar.... LTS |

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Gareth Date: 03 Oct 01 - 06:46 PM So now we know where the survivors of the Bloody Point battle twixt Alfred's Wessex Navy and the Danes went ashore !!! And just for Eric -
"Oh the Mountain Sheep are Sweeter, Gareth PS - And if you really want the rest of Owain Goch's War Song ask and I will post same when I'am sober. |

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Gareth Date: 03 Oct 01 - 07:19 PM And just to compleat the chorus here are the verse(ions) of Cosher Bailey dedicated to LtS From the "Songs for New Bikers" Thresd
"Oh Liz has bought a motor bike, "Have you ever Saw, Etc "
"Up to Llnstock one fine day, "Have you ever Saw, Etc
"Now The Cameras know her well, "Have you ever Saw, Etc," And for Eric
" Now Eric was a Viking, He was always going hiking, "Have you ever Saw, Etc," Gareth |

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Liz the Squeak Date: 04 Oct 01 - 12:57 AM Gareth - just as soon as I get me bike back on the road, you'll regret that!! LTS |
|
Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: MudGuard Date: 04 Oct 01 - 06:02 AM Liz, keep the motorbike off the road and in front of your house, otherwise your description of how to come to your place does not work anymore and I'd be lost wandering about London... ;-)

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: MudGuard Date: 06 Oct 01 - 09:41 AM Dear Lady Penelope, it took me some time to come from bolding words in HTML to do something like the footer of my messages in this thread - so don't give up!

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Eric the Viking Date: 07 Oct 01 - 07:50 AM Please include Andy, he's a fiddler who plays at the jug,(accordion as well) who is coming, don't know mudcat name,(friend of flaj) but he's been around the jug for some time. I'm sharing his car, and he's looking to put his tent up (the fool!) So that's one more. This time next week, we'll be stood outside some where taking photo's I guess, BUT think of all the music and fun we'll have had in the previous 48 hours. Let's drink a toast to surviving the weekend without too many sore heads-well for those of you who take the devils liquor. See you next friday evening. Where will we be at around 20.00hrs Bron? (Which is when Andy and I will arrive I hope. Earlier if possible) Can someone describe the caravan-trailer to me please, is there any water in it? Is there a stove, can I make coffee? Is there a toilet? Or where does one go? AND I don't want sarki answers!!!!! Or else I might change from sheep to young boys, men and then the women !! |

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: bill\sables Date: 07 Oct 01 - 08:28 AM Eric. the trailer is behind Pipins. It has water and a stove for making tea, There is a netty in the back but it is better to use the outside one, There is a sauna. and a gas fire. Sam and I are playing in Goole on Friday night, Jezabel is meeting up with us in Goole, We should be starting off about midnight, collecting Patrige in Huddersfield and arriving about 3-00am. Don't take up all the bloddy beds and have a cup of tea waiting for us. Bill |

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Eric the Viking Date: 07 Oct 01 - 11:27 AM OK Bill, No problems. See you Wednesday, where are we? |

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Noreen Date: 07 Oct 01 - 01:11 PM links to the links to the maps... (click here) |
|
Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Mrs.Duck Date: 07 Oct 01 - 02:11 PM We're hoping to leave here at around 4.30 and being there by 7 so we'll probably get there at midnight!!!Remind me please of arrangements so far - where are we on Friday? What time will food be available? What time does fish and chip shop shut (for the wee'uns)? can I bring kids into the pub? Who else is camping/caravanning by the railway? Can I stay up late? Are we nearly there yet??? |
|
Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: John Routledge Date: 07 Oct 01 - 02:15 PM I am tenting Mrs D but will not complain if noise from the wee'uns keeps me awake. Probably arriving early to give more chance of a dry interlude to put up tent!! Looking forward to seeing you all again. John |

Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Llanfair Date: 07 Oct 01 - 04:26 PM Mrs Duck, the action will be taking place at the Institute, which is not a pub, so children welcome. THERE WILL NOT BE A BAR. However, arrangements have been made for a barrel of "Cloud Nine" to be available, courtesy of Trevor, and an honesty box will be nearby. If you drink other stuff, the pubs are nearby, and the Spar sells drink. Sorry to keep going on about this, but I don't want people to be without their favourite tipple. Hot food will be served as needed, and I think the chippy is open till 9. Pippins shuts at 8. I think Friday night will be a sort of party to welcome the Friday arrivals and get thoroughly "Warmed up" Pippins will be open for breakfast 9-30ish, and there will be alternative breakfast at my mum's. PM me for my mobile number if you are not sure about anything. Cheers, Bron. |
|
Subject: RE: Countdown to Llanstock ll From: Noreen Date: 07 Oct 01 - 04:38 PM So Bill, Sam, Jez and P will will be arriving just in time for breakfast at Pippins? (Only if they stop for a sleep on the way...) Trevor, what a man! |
