My current favourite expression at this juncure is FOG (figure it out yourself) but I would really like to explain to this guest in person by knocking seven shades of shit out of him. Apart from the fact it would be impossible. He/She has neither the courage, the commitment nor the sense to show themselves in person.

Remember that people like this feed on people like us. It turns them on. It feeds their otherwise empty lives. It is a form of internet wanking. They only exist by the good grace of people like Big Mick and Gareth and LJC.

Do your worst, dear guest, you cannot harm us. We are and always will be better than you. You cannot prove who you are, what you do or where you live. I can. Check it out -

Dave Polshaw. Manchester. UK. Folk club organiser for 25 years. Festival organiser for 20. Mudcat contributor for 3. Arranger or Mudcat gatherings for as long.

What do you do guest? Apart from piss people off?

Oh, and don't go down the 'I have wound you up' route. Coz you haven't. I just like to make you look as small as you realy are.

Now go down whatever sewer you live in and smell the shit.

Cheers

Dave the Gnome

One of our mudcat members from Denmark has just donated the vast sum of £295 for mudcat. I will not disclose his name but I am sure you will join me in thanking him very much for his very generous contribution. Cheers Bill

I will certainly join you in thanking him, bill. Max's "dream" of one machine big enough to run everything is getting closer with such generousity. It should also cheer Max up just to know that people really do value Mudcat so much.

Many thanks to the Danish Mudcatter!

Service for (some) non-British Mudcatters:
GBP 295.00 = EUR 465.64 = USD 451.81

I wish I could afford to give that much as well.

I have consulted with Max who has made it clear that he feels that the membership should be thanked for thier generosity. He has also pointed out that although this thread is 2 days old, he is far to busy to perform this duty.

I feel rather inadequate in deputising for one so great but,

Thankyou Mudcatters

In credible donation from Denmark with thanks and best wishes.

More seriously folks, if you want to contribute a small amount every month PM me with your snail mail or E Mail address for full details, and standing order forms ( Sorry Brit Isles only)

The ammounts will build up.

Now no names, no pack drills, but a very seniour Mudcat source has suggested that $500.00 will see the Cat with a reconditioned 'Dell' Server. I think our Danish Comrade has gone a long way to fulfilling this ambition.

Oh and by the way if anon guests, and there are some sensible ones out there, can always send Crossed Postal Orders To me or Bill Sables.

The Addresses

Bill Sables, 12-14, Chapel Lane, Rawcliffe Goole East Yorkshire DN14 8QN PLease make cheques out to Bill Sables. The money will reach Max.

Gareth Williams, 72 Commercial St., Ystrad Mynach, Hengoed, Caerphilly. CF82 7DY Cheques etc. in Favour of The Friends of Mudcat, and crossed A/C Payee only, please.

I will be at the Mumbles Maritime Festival on Saturday you can bell me on 07721 585081. I am short, fat, and with a beard - Oh and a Black Computer Error Tee Shirt. I will have copies of various documents, and Standing orders.
