Subject: BS: Hi Alison! From: harpgirl Date: 27 Aug 03 - 12:42 PM So I guess now that the kids are older you aren't at home as much anymore, huh? I haven't seen you around much. What's up? harpy |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Noreen Date: 27 Aug 03 - 02:30 PM Did you intend this to be a PM, harpgirl? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: harpgirl Date: 27 Aug 03 - 02:46 PM No Noreen. I thought other people miss her, too! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Bob Bolton Date: 27 Aug 03 - 06:26 PM G'day harpgirl, When I was following up (by 'phone, locally in Sydney) a request from Alison to help with accomodation for a 'Catter intending a visit to Sydney, I realised she has moved house again! On the basis of the old English proverb: "Three removes is a good as a fire" ... does that mean that over the past couple of years she has had the equivalent of 2/3 of a catastrophic fire ...? No wonder she is too busy too dash moff lightning reponses to Mudcat! Regards, Bob Bolton |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Amergin Date: 27 Aug 03 - 06:32 PM Well, I miss Alison, too...and I hope she's ok. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: alison Date: 27 Aug 03 - 07:48 PM thanks for the concern..... I'm fine... well getting there anyway... I'm still around as far as mudcat goes, I drop in most days.... I just don't find as many threads to interest me as I used to.... so I read through and move on... and offer my tuppence worth if I can..... I've got 3 festivals in the next month & a half... so I'll be kept busy thanks again ..... hope florida isn't too hot Harpy slainte alison |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Ed. Date: 27 Aug 03 - 08:01 PM One thing that Alison forgot to mention: She still looks gorgeous! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: GUEST Date: 27 Aug 03 - 09:31 PM ... even with that "unsexy" Belfast accent ;-) Jon (who has a lot of respect for Alison) |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: harpgirl Date: 28 Aug 03 - 12:00 AM Alison!!! You're still about!! Flori-DUH has been very rainy and thus wet and relatively cool this summer (low 90's). How's winter treating you? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: alison Date: 28 Aug 03 - 02:26 AM hahaha - thanks Ed, & Jon.... that Belfast accent is dead sexy... the Ozzies keep thinking I'm Canadian!!?!! winter hasn't been too bad... low 20s C most days (60 - 70F) gets a bit cooler at night..... not bad for winter though..... still spring starts next week and things will get warmer!! slainte alison (plus a bit of what I've been getting up to) |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: smallpiper Date: 28 Aug 03 - 05:58 AM Alison I've just followed your link, nice site. Ed you are right she is beautiful but (sorry alison) I went weak at the knees when I saw the picture of Siobhan! WOW! 'scuse me just had a singlemanmoment! Off for a cold shower now |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Hrothgar Date: 28 Aug 03 - 06:22 AM I thought McKittery had stuck his head up again! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Jeri Date: 28 Aug 03 - 09:36 AM Alison, I'm glad to see you're still around. I've missed you! I noticed from your pictures that, like Merlin, you're aging in reverse. If this keeps up, in a few years, you'll be too young to play in pubs. Better start going in the other direction with the rest of us. (Now if you could just move the links menu so the advert doesn't cover part of it...) I wish you much joyful success! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: wysiwyg Date: 28 Aug 03 - 12:03 PM Oh, the cruise-ship Alison looks very much in her element! No wonder she's not been here much! ~S~ |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Big Mick Date: 28 Aug 03 - 08:41 PM camera cuts away from THE FAIR ONE and the mad gala she is presiding over on the cruise ship (where she is attended by nubile, adoring young men)to the biggest damned Irishman you have ever seen. He wanders aimlessly through cyber hill and dale, longing for THE FAIR ONE and his lost youth. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Brendy Date: 28 Aug 03 - 09:04 PM .... and instead found me! How's Mick? Website looking good, Alison. B. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Big Mick Date: 28 Aug 03 - 09:09 PM HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..................it's like friggin' old Mudcatters week. I am fine as frog hair, lad, how ya keepin'? All the best, Mick |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Amos Date: 28 Aug 03 - 09:19 PM Mick, me lad: Here's a touch of original Fayre One comfort for you, then. It's called "Hold Me Close". A |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: jaze Date: 28 Aug 03 - 10:15 PM HI Allison, I've missed you around here,too. Hope all is well with you. Drop in more often ok? |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: GUEST,Jon Date: 28 Aug 03 - 10:15 PM Thinking more about accents, Alison, I'm having horrors about Angel and Tom (niece and nephew) right now. They sound normal (if Tranmere/Liverpool is normal) but if things go well for Tim and family now they are out there, I've visions of the kids sounding like little aussies in a couple of year's time... I'm even seeing them finding "mates" like Skippy or even Tingha and Tucker... Jon |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Big Mick Date: 28 Aug 03 - 10:34 PM Yeah, Amos. She whom I pursue shamelessly over cyber hill and dale wrote that beautiful piece of music for Darla, who was the wife of the fella in my band who got away. I play it at their grave site when we gather to share a little music with them. I will play it again when the veil thins. Brendy, you old piece of work. You are still causing me trouble...hahahahaha. I went to take a look at the link, and it said to download a java virtual machine. Went to do that, and Windows had me do an update, so now I am in the middle of a three hour download. But I am going to get that friggin' thing loaded and look at your mug. Mick |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Brendy Date: 28 Aug 03 - 11:17 PM Sorry about the inconvenience, Mick. Is a java virtual machine some sort of a cyber coffee maker?. Could be a handy thing to have, though. Especially if its the plug-in variety! ;-) Catch you later my man. B. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: harpgirl Date: 28 Aug 03 - 11:43 PM Gee whiz, Alison...you just don't look fifty at ALL in those pictures! Way to go! harp |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: dwditty Date: 28 Aug 03 - 11:55 PM Ah.... You Came Back, Baby!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Amos Date: 29 Aug 03 - 12:34 AM I can tel ya this much, Mick -- Allison is still worth a long walk in the rain, and Brendy's mug hardly worth the effort of closin' yer eyes against! A |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Brendy Date: 29 Aug 03 - 12:42 AM Brendy's mug is hardly worth the effort of closin' your eyes against, Amos. Did you know that your name (when written backwards) spells 'soma' B. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: alison Date: 29 Aug 03 - 01:52 AM good grief they're all crawling out of the woodwork.... I'm glad you started this thread harpy....... nice to see you Brendy....... when are Thin Lizzy reforming?? *grin* Amos....... Mick has already told you... but that piece of music was written with him in mind...... he had told me about Darla.... I just sat down with a tape recorder thought about them, picked up the whistle and "hold me close- a tune for Darla" is what came out......., I think about Darla, Jim & Mick everytime I play it... don't see you very often big fella.....but you know I miss you..... smallpiper I'll pass on your regards to Siobhan..... she is indeed a "looker" but you want to hear her sing!!... some of these days I'll put on some sound files...... this thread has cheered me up no end.... BTW all of you that have visited the site I hope you put some little people on our guest map (thanks Amos) slainte alison |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Brendy Date: 29 Aug 03 - 02:29 AM Oh, we have our versions, Alison. Glad to see that you're keeping the music going down there; I downloaded the melody from Amos' link. It's a lovely piece of music, so it is. B. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: smallpiper Date: 29 Aug 03 - 03:48 AM Alison that would be appreciated ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Amergin Date: 29 Aug 03 - 04:10 AM boy, that's one lucky bloke to be sitting between two beautiful women....(is that why they call it the lucky country?) ;) I know I'll be lucky when I come over...cause I'll be tying my life and my soul to another.... ;) |

And, now I can put a mug to Brendy's postings, too...not sure if that's good or bad...**bg** Take care, womon, and keep us posted, eh? luvyakat |

Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Amos Date: 29 Aug 03 - 08:55 AM Well, woddya know!! The power of psychic ignorance should never be misunderestimasized, huh?? LOL! A |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: harpgirl Date: 29 Aug 03 - 12:36 PM Hi sweety! I've sent you a PM to keep from throwing anymore spanners in the works! I love you and miss you around here. You have lots of friends in this global community...abby |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: alison Date: 29 Aug 03 - 09:54 PM wasn't a problem Harpy... cheered me up no end... thanks everyone slainte alison |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Paul G. Date: 29 Aug 03 - 10:57 PM Hello Alison from another just-turned-50 who now lurks more than contributes as well...and also swelters in Florida a couple of hundred miles east of the Harpster. Glad to hear you're doing well! Cheers, Paul |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: harpgirl Date: 29 Aug 03 - 11:41 PM Paul...I should tell you that the fifty thing is a joke! Alison is much, much younger than that!!! |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Paul G. Date: 30 Aug 03 - 09:44 AM Well, thank goodness....I honestly thought she had a magic portrait in her attic... |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 01 Sep 03 - 11:46 PM What about ye, big girl? You look smashin', so you do. Brendy, I went to your website and saw a picture of you singing into a bicycle seat. New style microphone? Mick, see you in a week or so.No poitín this year, I'm afraid. Seamus |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Brendy Date: 02 Sep 03 - 06:09 AM Not quite Seamy... we were thinking of holding a Raleigh later on in the evening. Love the bit of photo manipulation on the old mcnote.com website, though. Much superior to my humble efforts B. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Big Mick Date: 02 Sep 03 - 10:37 AM Are ye bringin' yer clubs, there wee man? Mick |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Seamus Kennedy Date: 02 Sep 03 - 12:37 PM Sorry to hijack Alison't welcome back thread, but it's either me or McKittery. Brendy, a "Raleigh"? For shame, for shame! And it was not photo manipulation on the website; that was actually me takin' a buck-lep into the air. One take. The oul' knees couldn't do it more than once. By the way, I've never sung into a bicycle-seat in my life. (I've sniffed a few, though....) Mick, I won't bring the sticks. I don't think there's gonna be time. Plus, guitar, bodhran, luggage.... See you there, big lad. Right, back to the regularly scheduled thread... Welcome back Alison. Seamus |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: Brendy Date: 02 Sep 03 - 02:50 PM Takin' a buck lep, eh? Thought perhaps you were originally impaled on something, and you managed to retouch the offending object out of the picture. But then again, I suppose you've never done anything stupid, like sing into a bicycle seat, or anything? Let me guess... B. |
Subject: RE: BS: Hi Alison! From: catspaw49 Date: 02 Sep 03 - 04:38 PM Geez, what a nice "Old Home Week" thread.........meaning of course that most of the participants including both the subject and the progenitor belong in a Old Folks Home.

That'll send him on a yard or two...and a looter up the lug...and maybe a dig in the gub.. Haha, Brendy, yer in trouble now, so y'are. Alison'll turn this thread around and go home if you don't stop actin' the maggot, you big glipe. Fondest regards old chum. Seamus PS. Thanks Alison. |
