Hellllooooooo people!!!!! The equine pugilists will be consuming 9bear9 at the Forester's Arms, Beckside, Beverley this coming Thursday, 12th Sept. If we can still stand, then music may follow from nine pm onwards.

Brother Oakley will be there, having recovered from his 120mph launch off Skidby Hill on Sunday. Comrade Ossonflags, we are hoping, will have returned from overseas destination unknown in one piece. I myself am planning a fearless stage diving expedition at about 10.45, assisted by Oakley style pyrotechnics. Mr Watson will be catching me from the far side of the room. I hope. Depends on how many bear9's the prettiest Bar Manager in Yorkshire has supplied him with during the evening. If not, am counting on landing on dodgy bird.

Be there, folks!! Hope to see you, and take an aerial photograph for the Mudcat library.

Ossonflags will give you chapter and verse on this once Mrs Ossonflags has finished with him in mainland Europe. The (now notorious) Irish band "Punch the Horse" takes its name from one of a pair of horses, employed to deliver milk in the Cottingham (a few miles north of Hull) area when things were in black and white. Hope that's enough for now. By the way, lurker, are you local?

Hoping to be there. Me, Mrs. Ossonflags the Robe and Dennis have just returned safely from the unknown destination (Amsterdam) Excellant weekend, but every time we went for a coffee people kept offering me strange tasting roll up cigarettes that gave me a sense of well being, a tendancy to giggle and call every body man. I find now I have a strange liking for the music of a chap called Bob Marley.

Lurker,the explanation of " Punch The Horse"is quite simple.many moons ago when we got our first paying gig we did not have a name as such. Jon Smith who played with us at the time had a penchant for telling long convoluted stories.The upshot of one of these was that he knew a milkman in Cottingjham who had two horses. One was called Judy and the other clled Punch.Johns son had a band at that time who were also looking for a name,and was going to use the name "Punch The horse" one of the band did not like the name so it was discarded. I thought it suited us,the rest is history. Out of the original line up at the time I am the only original member left but the name carries on.

Nowt wrong with shameless self promotion.

On the same road as the Minster follow the sign(away from the town centre) for Hull walking along with the Sun Inn on your left and you will come to the Foresters at the head of Beverley Beck. Landmarks along the way include Hodgsons pub on the right, the army museum on the left and the Mariners arms again on the right and eventually reaching the Foresters on the left about half to three quarters of a mile from the Minster.

Ossenvenger, I should be a tad more cautious when welcoming phrases such as the Notorious P the H, according to my, albeit limited, knowledge of English (as she is spoke)Notorious can translate to flagrant, arrant, stark staring, or pronounced. Alternatively it can be deemed to signify shocking, outrageous, scrubby, dirty or even ignominious. I am sure the goodlady Ossenvenger would be mortified to be associated with such dastardly "praise"

Hi Gerry,

Not yet. One of the perils of trying to create your own job I'm afraid. I am too arrogant to apply for pre-owned jobs apparently. Got word this afternoon that the thing is going ahead to a final meeting between a UK company and a French company. If they can agree who pays then Bingo! I should be in clover for months until they find out.

I met Mr Chadwick at the Sloop on Tuesday. A fine gentleman, that there Doug.

Oakley...

I feel it is best that I advise you to stay strictly away from Twillingsgate AND Ms Penelope Rutledge. The lady is under my personal protection, and I will thrash you within an inch of your miserable life if you bother her in any way whatsoever.

I captained the boxing team in my senior year, and I am fit as a fiddle. You will not be the first yobbo that I have trounced, I can assure you.

It will not be the horse who gets punched my friend, but the horse's hind end, if you have the very bad judgement to show your loutish face around Twillingsgate.

You have my word upon that, sir.

Yours faithfully,

Winston Wellington-Jones

Sir, you are a fat idiot and it would not surpise me if your fedora smells of stale yoghourt. I have met your type before. It would be an honour to pit my cheerleading skills against your ancient boxing skills; prepare for humiliation, you finch-rearing maggot.

Morning chaps!! Forester's was a pleasant evening, but Mudcat needs to know about Oakleaf's outragious mandolin antics. In order to prevent diabolical feedback problems, David had to play a set of tunes and two songs whilst standing with his back to the audience and the band, huddled behind a set of heavy curtains whilst looking out the window into the car park. It was one of the funniest moments in the history of PTH in my humble opinion. All you could see was a big lump in the curtain, and Oakleaf's fine legs poking out the bottom, as the strains of his mandolin came mysteriously from the PA system. I was in fits of giggles. I have since learned that the only way he managed to stay in time was by looking at Mr Watson's and my reflection in the window pane, through a small crack in the curtains!!!! Thank you for making my evening complete, David.

Oakley - You impertinent, mealy-mouthed swine, you are in for a nasty surprise. What do you take me for? A fool? Or some doddering septegenarian pugilist reveling in the memories of his squandered youth? I don't wear spats, I wear the best Italian shoes, and I am 27 years old and trained to perfection. By heaven, sir, I shall give you a thumping you will never forget! I now see that I am dealing not only with a ruffian and a braggart, but a man in the grip of an obsessive complex. It is a good thing that Ms Rutledge, whose hallowed name is sullied by the mere utterance of your profane lips...or the stroke of your poison pen, did well to alert me to your delusions of romantic adventure.

Come to Twillingsgate then, come. I shall be waiting... Ask for me at the Vicar's Inn, and be sure all your affairs are in order.

Oakley, let me make one thing perfectly clear. I am nobody's "charge"! I am an independent woman in charge of her own affairs. (Furthermore, I may appear "severe" to some, but that is only due to my deep and abiding loyalty to what I know is right, good, and true.)

In the meantime I must say that I am really becoming quite exasperated with you gentlemen, both of you! You assume too much.

Now, Winston means well in his own way, but he has simply gone overboard on this whole situation since that remark you made about his "mummy". Good lord, the man is in a proper fury! I fear he may do himself or someone else an injury. He broke a perfectly good piece of bone china the other day by slamming his fist down on the table, and I have advised him to curb his emotions on this matter and act sensibly, at least in my presence. He also apparently broke his computer keyboard, and he is certainly NOT going to use mine! Accordingly, he has not posted here in response to your last remarks of 14th September.

He does little, in fact, but sit around with his "mates" at the Vicar's Inn, consume inordinate amounts of port and stout, and mutter darkly about the pummeling he intends to give you...and they, lot of fools that they are, egg him on of course, due to the fact that they are simply bored and at loose ends.

Well, it's all getting quite silly, isn't it? I suppose I should not have taken such umbrage over what I now see is merely the name of a band, albeit a band that plays rather...common music...but I haven't actually heard it, so I shall not cast further aspersions on it. That wouldn't be fair.

I see that you have a strong romantic bent, and that is in a sense admirable, as long as it is accompanied by a measure of mature judgement and restraint.

Now if you and Winston insist on wasting your energies threatening and sparring with one another, well, that is your lookout. I would regret being the indirect cause of any injurious incident, but if you are both bound and determined to behave like jealous schoolboys on a rampage...then I will have to wash my hands of the whole matter.

I think you should either commit yourself to the life and music you are familiar and comfortable with or else consider taking a whole new look at things. In the latter case, I recommend exposure to good British literature (the classics) and chamber or orchestral music of the finer sort. You can take a man out of England, but you can't take England out of the man, not if he is born to it, and that remains the hope and strength of this nation, come what may, globalization and the Common Market notwithstanding.

I feel sometimes that I was born in the wrong century, goodness knows, but one must persevere and not become discouraged. I look forward to better days, and a renewal of what made this country great.

Ms Penelope Rutledge

This from the gossip column of the Twillingsgate Herald on Wednesday, Sept 18, 2002, afternoon edition... DONNYBROOK AT VICAR'S INN

An altercation erupted unexpectedly last night at the Vicar's Inn, involving several well-known local gentlemen and a sheep farmer and his companions who were passing through Twillingsgate. The farmer, Mr. Arthur Jessop, is an enthusiast of wooden period ship models, and had heard that there was a fine one on display at the Inn. Accordingly, Mr. Jessop and his companions, two cousins (William Stroud and Peter Stroud), and a friend of the Jessop family, Mr."Skippy" Stanford De Vine (a machinist), stopped off at the Inn on their way through Twillingsgate and entered the main dining room.

Mr. Jessop describes what happened next.

"Well, we was (sic) lookin' around at all the fine furnishin's, what wif this was a very fine inn I might say, and right genteel it was, and I seen (sic) the ship up there on the mantle, and she was a beauty! The Justinian, she be, wot was in Nelson's fleet, and so I'm admiring the model when up steps this gentleman, wif a nasty and superior attitude, and 'e says to me' 'e says "Oak Leaf, I presume?" I fink that's wot 'e said..Oak Leaf..."

"Wot?" says I.

"I told you wot would 'appen if you showed your ugly face around 'ere," 'e says.

"Wot the bleedin' ............ are you on about?" says I.

"I'll show you what I'm on about, you stupid sod," says 'e and wif that 'e pops me one! Right in the chops. Well, I seen it comin', so 'e only 'alf caught me cheek, but down I goes anyway. I's up right quick and sees that Skippy's got 'im by the froat. Then three other toffs they jumps on Skippy and William, Peter and me we jumps on them and away she goes! It was a right nasty fight, I'm tellin' you, and I don't know where it might 'ave ended, but along comes the local constabulary and arrests the lot of us, and there it is. I do not intend to visit Twillingsgate again and I am going to sue that pretentious bugger and 'is lunatic friends for damages. 'E ought to be incarcerated!"

Well, dear readers, all of Twillingsgate is agog at the news, since the gentleman who started the brouhaha is none other than Winston Wellington-Jones, well known and eligible man about town, and a member in good standing of the boxing club, the polo club, and the golf club. Teddy Featherstone, Randolph Muggeridge, and George Clydesworth IIIrd were also involved in the scuffle, taking the side of Wellington-Jones, and they are likewise members of the aforementioned polo and golf clubs, but not the boxing club. All had been drinking and talking for several hours prior to the incident, but had not caused any disturbance until after Mr. Jessop and his companions entered the Inn.

Wellington-Jones has refused to comment on the incident except to say "There appears to have been a mistake made here. I have nothing more to say."

Now, it is well known that Mr. Wellington-Jones has been nursing a grievance against one "Oakley", a mysterious secret admirer of Twillingsgate's very own doppelganger of the young Audrey Hepburn, Ms. Penelope Rutledge. Ms. Rutledge seems to have caught the attention of this Oakley (presumably a psuedonym) while participating in an internet discussion forum.

Friends of Ms. Rutledge, who must remain nameless, claim that Oakley has fallen madly in love with her. Well, he wouldn't be the first, would he?

Miss J- "He's mad about her! He swears he is coming on a pilgrimage to Twillingsgate, and Winston has been manning the battlements, as it were, expecting his imminent arrival. It's all very exciting!"

Miss T- "I think Penelope is actually rather taken with Oakley, though she won't admit it. Of course, he is beneath her station, that is clear, but I believe she is curious at the very least!"

Miss H- "She was quite flushed after reading his last message on the computer! She says he is of no importance whatsoever to her, but I think it's quite the other way around!"

(The above initials in no way resemble the actual names of our informants, naturally...)

Our efforts to interview Ms. Rutledge have proven fruitless thus far, as she will not comment on the matter. Ms. Rutledge is of course well known to our readers as the living, breathing apotheoisis of good taste, morality, and all that is upright and proper... Yes, the very pride of Twillingsgate, needless to say. She is today hosting a meeting of local ladies in the Green Room at the library, seeking to raise funds for homeless dogs, cats, and canaries. Attendance is expected to be good, and we shall be there, dear readers, pen in hand, ready to report on any further revelations.

It looks like the autumn season in Twillingsgate just may be a little warmer than usual this year!

Miss Q, you are a star. I now feel ashamed to read about shaven-arse, botty whiffs have trousers immediately before that beautiful post.

I now need to speak to Miss T on a matter of considerable importance. Be still, my beating heart.
