So, The Varlet has started to make puny excuses for his non-appearance at Cleckhuddersfax Festival. Me thinks MC Fat that we have the scoundrel on the run already, the yellow livered, low living, villian and rogue that he is. He has not the courage to place such weak willed prose on this thread but chooses to hide it elsewhere.
Long may MC Fat be victorious.

The Pesky Varlet Old Git has accepted the challenge Raggy but not at Cleckhudersfax. Meally mouthed yellow bellied Shant-i-ay singer.

Cleck'uddersfax or Cleck'eckmondsedge? It depended on which railway thou used. I believe the L.& Y. went to Cleck'eckmondsedge whilst the later "Leeds New Line", built by the L.N.W.R. went to Cleck'uddersfax. Unfortunately the proposal by the G.N.R. to build a line never materialised otherwise we might also have had "Cleck'uddersedge" or even "Cleck'eckmondfax"!!
Sithee.

Perchance Mrs Rabbit are you attempting to play two ends against the middle, take good care with the affections of the Wee Scot, they are not to be trifled with, (or any sort of pudding).
The scot may think he owes a slight punishment to an Englishman after what we did to William Wallace, hung, drawn (whilst still alive) castrated ditto, small parts removed stuffed in his own mouth, also ditto then mercifully beheaded before his body was quartered with one quarter sent to each corner of the kingdom, just to show who really was the boss.
They didn't mess about in those days and as second to MC Fat I am duty bound in my unfinchly loyalty to him to aide whatever punishment he's sees fit in inflict upon the miserable wretch who displays himself as your present husband. Me thinks perhaps you will be less inclined towards him where he to undergo the above

Yours in Chivalry and Underhanded Deviousness

MC Fat, if you distract him I could sneak up behind on cut off his means of retreat .............I've got a sharp knife

Town hall Friday night,then Wickham afterwards until the wee small hours. Wear your badges or T shirts;Raggy, I know you, Bagpuss, we've met before. Others of you. Perhaps, I'll met you there.

So the Old Git has a fifth column, Well James my boy, just one more thing to remove from his body, I think however that he may boast. The dirk will reveal very little me thinks

Sires I am verily worried about him watching my every 'movement' might get a bit smelly in't closet but another weapon in our armony of destruction.

James My Leige, I have had several conversations with Bulstrode McFarland at his pile in Wheatstone about this very subject, it seems we may need a Garderobe. Apparently it can be a devilishly fiendish device when used in the correct manner which can appal even the most battle hardened soldier. Perchance we have the opportunity to inflict this terror on the loathsome Old Git, although it seems from another thread he has shown his true colours (yellow chevrons on a yellow shield I believe) and given you victory before battle has commenced

Leave the soundman alone Nick ......   that venue is an absolute nightmare for soundmen ( so difficult to get a balanced sound all round the hall ) so if the soundman was up and down, it was probably because he needed to be.

Yep - I've agreed to 'run' the session at the Commercial on Saturday night - with a lot of help from my friends I hope. All musicians welcome. I think the idea is just to keep the tunes rolling along - but I'm sure they'll do that anyway.

Cheers
Sarah
