I thought you had the cure for everything, KJ...??? You been overdoing the HRT again? I recommend entry into Miss North East Lincolnshire wet tee-shirt competition, followed by two weeks on a chicken farm in Newbiggin-by-the-sea. That should do it.

The first deck is in place, the water feature is being built, we've shifted about 4 or 5 tonnes of Barton Clay. I now swear like a trooper, sport sunburned shoulders and a builder's bum, have sprouted muscles and have an uncontrollable urge to wolf-whistle at passers by, no matter how ugly they are. Pete HELP!!!

Oh how the vanquish hove together, you both know in your hearts that you lost the contests but the judges took pity upon you. My Lord MC Fat was clearly the victor on both occasions and will again truimph (with my gallant support, of course)when the next challenger strikes his metal at Whitby

I would probably choose the Endeavour though I suspect McFat would prefer the Tap...........it may have to be somewhere more neutral

Old Git: I would have given you my total support ( I always hated sooty and that bastard sweep and as for that condesending bitch Sue.........) but then you go and say things about me being buggered! sigh! However, I am a forgiving kind of chap so I may give my support anyway.

DM , I did warn you about McFat.
When bribing the judges doesn't work he resorts to the "ahh" factor with Sooty and Sweep.
and when that doesn't work he just lies and claims victory.
I have a rematch in Whitby
will you be there? I will need all the unbiased(?) support I can get

LOL! I find myself wishing sometimes that I lived in Hull, where all the action is. That duel sounds worthy of the Twillingsgate scene to me.

Approximately how many members does the Punch the Horse crowd consist of? I am not referring merely to the band, but also to the friends, business associates, hangers-on, camp followers, and so on...

It would seem that he specialises in duelling. But he plays dirty, and loses. At least, to me. Perhaps he will stay quiet from now on?

How often does our esteemed MC Fat require a second? Every time I read a thread he seems to be duelling with someone!!

AH LH that would explain it .... it happens to us all. The mother thread is too big for us of little attention span however some of us have posted to it (I think) and I don't think Oaley has changed his name but he does have multiple personalities that manifest themselvs in all sorts of odd ways (Bless him).
You should see him when he falls off the bus shelter!

Long time no see, LH. You missed the duel of all duels on Sunday, my friend. Bribery, curruption, unauthorised use of firearms resutting in a calamitous ruling of a draw, which has since been overturned in favour of the honourable DeanMeister.

There is justice in the world after all! DM.

Well, it was rather rude wasn't it? I was in a raffish mood, I'm afraid. It's all Wolfgang's fault! He keeps going on and on about science and rational explanations for things that are essentially subjective and it disturbs my equilibrium (how's that for passing the buck?). :-)

So tell me, why are you people not drawn like vultures to the famous Mother of All BS Threads, the Mecca of Mudcat BS-er's? And how is Oakley? Did he really change his name to Oaklet? If so, why?

In truth, I would much rather leave your aunties entirely to themselves. I was just trying to say something provocative in the UK vernacular style. There's some9thing about Punch the Horse threads that causes me to lose my normal sense of 9decorum.
