Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: George Papavgeris Date: 24 Mar 03 - 08:49 AM Any room for a REAL Southerner? If so, put us down for definites - me, with Vanessa and in all likelihood Lyddie. We'll bring a tent ot something - Lyddie can sleep in the car (she's the dog). Or she can sleep in the tent and I will sleep in the car. Or something. But put us down anyway...Will arrive on Friday 16th May. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Noreen Date: 24 Mar 03 - 02:19 PM Woop-di-doo! Can we cope with REAL southerners, Jane? Translation of menu needed, at the very least- you know they won't recognise a REAL Yorkshire pudding... A truly splendid weekend is in the offing. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 24 Mar 03 - 02:44 PM You're asking an Essex girl if she can cope with real Southerners? I might manage - come one come all!! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Mar 03 - 04:58 PM OK, put us down for a tent space please.... Draper Mansions complete with East Wing will be coming, mainly because I'm bored witless and need a bloody good sing out! LTS and Bratling |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Catherine Jayne Date: 24 Mar 03 - 05:02 PM Add Micca and I to the list as definates!!!!!! Cat |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Allan C. Date: 24 Mar 03 - 05:07 PM As a semi-native Virginian I think I am more qualified to hold the label of a Real Southerner - and yes, I'll probably need a translator just about as much as you will. *G* |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Noreen Date: 24 Mar 03 - 05:26 PM But we'll not change how we talk for your benefit, Allan... don't wnt thee feeling patronised, tha nose... :0) |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Allan C. Date: 24 Mar 03 - 06:26 PM One o' th' things ah've lurnt t' do iz t' adapt. Afore ya know it, ah'll be talkin' jes' lack yew. Singin's diffrent, tho. Ah allus do that in muh native langage. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: George Papavgeris Date: 25 Mar 03 - 03:50 AM Naah, Allan C/Mrs Duck, not Essex or Virginia, I am talking REAL South, as in "Southern Europe", the land of the Mediterranean pine, earthquakes, gold medallions on sun-bronzed chests, retsina (what a giveaway) and old ladies in black. The land of real men (you HAVE to be a real man, if you're wearing a pleated skirt and bobbles on your shoes). OK, so I'm a reject from that land, as I look nothing like any of the above; but I prefer to think of myself as a cultural ambassador... As for Yorkshire pud - isn't that the frozen stuff you get at Tescos? Nice fingerbowls, but they get soggy after a while. But I shouldn't tease - I am ready and very willing to be taught the comparative benefits of northern fare, adding to my heretofore patchy knowledge. Joking aside - really looking forward to it! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: My guru always said Date: 25 Mar 03 - 06:30 AM OOOOooh, I am SO jealous - you guys are gearing up for a REALLY FAB GATHER!!!!!! I wonder if I ought to just give in & cancel our holidays????? |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Micca Date: 25 Mar 03 - 07:59 AM Mgas, you would Hate it!! it is Just like Portaferry, in Spades!!!! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: My guru always said Date: 25 Mar 03 - 08:36 AM In spades, eh? Darn! I suppose taking a day trip from Loch Awe is a bit out of the question really? And I'm moving cottages that weekend too.... Ah well, 'tis fate again. I'll just have to check the dates next year before I book my fishing holiday :-) You guys are going to have such a good time - we'll need lots of Piccies!!!!!! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: George Papavgeris Date: 25 Mar 03 - 09:05 AM We'll be thinking of you, MGAS; in fact, I'll set the alarm to make sure (oops, there goes another flying piggie...). |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: George Papavgeris Date: 25 Mar 03 - 01:48 PM We will (miss you) really, Hil... |

Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Micca Date: 26 Mar 03 - 03:12 AM GUEST,Gary & Tracy at The Black Dog, Hi there,nice to see you, the CRUCIAL question is "Do you have Deraught Cider and if yes, what kind"???? |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 26 Mar 03 - 12:18 PM Of course it will be brilliant Tracy and Gary and nice to see you on here!!!! We are all very well house trained really! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: selby Date: 26 Mar 03 - 12:57 PM I don't think so Micca, but they could always hire a tanker in just for you!!!! Keith |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: MMario Date: 26 Mar 03 - 12:59 PM You've managed to house train Micca! CONGRATULATIONS! ;) |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 26 Mar 03 - 01:08 PM Well maybe most of us then! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Catherine Jayne Date: 26 Mar 03 - 01:46 PM LOL Would you be able to get a large enough tanker for all the cider Micca can drink over a weekend!!!!! Looking forward to seieng everyone again! Cat |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: GUEST,gary & tracy Date: 26 Mar 03 - 02:24 PM draught cider strongbow,larger carlsberg & export, bitter abbott ale and greenking ipa..... plus guest's....open to suggestions !!! gary. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: GUEST,alanww Date: 27 Mar 03 - 01:06 PM How about guest beers of Bathams Bitter or Timothy Taylors Landlord - please!! "Come fill up your glasses and let us be merry ...!" Alan |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: George Papavgeris Date: 27 Mar 03 - 01:26 PM Ouzo? retsina? evil-smelling grog made by fermenting the spittle of ancient women chewing roots round a cauldron? Alternatively how about Bombardier? Brakspears? Old Thumper (Hampshire's best)? Davy's Old Wallop? Ma Parlow's (Black Country)? Or Courage (forget that, the above evil-smelling grog would be better) |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 27 Mar 03 - 01:31 PM I like Old Speckled Hen but am not fussed about Landlord - too sharp. |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: KJ Date: 28 Mar 03 - 08:12 AM Plenty of vodka please & grapefruit juice, not toooooo fussed about grapefruit juice, will make do with orange but LOTS OF VODKA. Any of you coming to Newport on Monday so we can put some faces to names? |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Geoff the Duck Date: 29 Mar 03 - 05:39 AM I'm wondering about what size tanker to house-train Mikka? |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: selby Date: 29 Mar 03 - 11:57 AM If any of u require imformation on how to speak Yorkshire proper, or need to know local customs, or how to eat Yorkshire pud reght, now would be a good time to ask.I understand a supertanker is coming up the Ouse for Micca, pipe's are being laid from the river to the Pub Keith |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Susanne (skw) Date: 29 Mar 03 - 05:35 PM :-(((( I hope you'll all enjoy yourselves (not to mention each other) - but I won't be taking part after all. There is no boat on the Friday, so the earliest I could arrive would be early Sunday afternoon, by which time most of you will have gone back home. Sadly, Susanne |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: alanww Date: 30 Mar 03 - 02:17 PM Now, now, Jane (Mrs Duck). Please don't be greedy about the beer. Abbott Ale is strong and sweet, Green King IPA is also sweetish and Old Speckled Hen would be another strong, sweet beer. So surely it would be alright for us other beer drinkers who prefer a quaffing ale with a bit of a bite to have Timothy Taylor's Landlord! "Ale , ale, glorious ale ...!" Alan |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: GUEST,Eddie in Leeds Date: 31 Mar 03 - 04:33 AM Is it an ommission that Mr Bulmer and Mr Sharpley with their keen interest in music sponsorship (!) have not been invited to the gathering? Shoowerly we shoood be told? |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 03 Apr 03 - 12:05 PM Not greedy at all Alan you can have all the landlord you can drink - just stating my preferences. Actually Geoff doesn't like sharp beers either but I'm only telling you all this to bring the thread back to the top anyway! Currently we don't know what's on their list anyway but will let you all know as soon as we do. xxJane |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: GUEST,Raggytash Date: 03 Apr 03 - 12:54 PM Would it be a good idea to start a YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 #2 thread, this one is killing my steam powered computer ! |
Subject: RE: YORKSHIRE GATHERING 2003 From: Mrs.Duck Date: 03 Apr 03 - 02:51 PM Shouldn't really need to now nick if you click on the number on the right of the thread title it comes up as four (soon five?) separate pages and you just choose the last one. |
