I have never read such a pityful load of cobblers since I had to endure DEFRA's notes on the correct filling-out of livestock returns. Most of the contributors to this feeble thread are proving my belief that those who always speak their minds often have such little to say. This thread is a bloody disgrace and I am outraged. I am now going to find a nice middle-eastern political chatroom and start to pose questions about the best places to buy banjo strings in Riyadh.

I thought my ears were burning. And yes, Smallpooper, it would be quite an uncontrolable blaze. If you go to 28 Meadow Road, Oldbury (off j2 of the M5, up the 4123 towards Brum turn left up Pound Road (opposite the college) you will start to see signs to Oaketworld - "where dreams can come true". It is a theme park dedicated to my life, work, hygiene, punctuality and my brilliant mind. Admission is £7.50 which goes to fund the Oaklet Foundation which is busy improving the lives of many, in the construction of a two-car brick garage in South Ferriby and the procurement of some double glazing for a dilapidated farmhouse.

I can't recommend the jars of body cheese (£3.00) strongly enough - it was a long hot summer.

Had meeting last night with the fellas I intend to play with next year, for anybody who's interested. We appear to have formalised an initial set list of material, 20 songs, to include The Police, Crowded House, ZZ Top, The Eagles, Hall & Oates, The Quo, Del Amitrie, Tears for Fears, Huey Lewis, Thin Lizzy, The Stones....

It ain't folk music, boys and girls! But I reckon it's gonna be a whole lotta fun. I know that a lot of you folkies are also old rockers too. Would you enjoy a set like that? Any thoughts? The band is a five piece, 2 guitars, Keyboards, Drums and Bass. And we all sing.

Like I said, watch this space. For those of you who don't know, I shall continue to play once a month next year with PTH at Durty Nellies.

Cheers, Pete.

Fogie,
You wouldn't like it, Punch the Horse are a fine 4 piece band based in Hull in the East Riding of Yorkshire. They consist of fiddler, accordianist, guitarist and vocalist and perform with much vim and vigour both contemporary and traditional music, mostly of a celtic flavour to an appreciative audience most of whom are the loonies who contribute to this thread as well as the band themselves. They seem to be duty bound to consume vast quantities of alcohol and thoroughly enjoy themselves at all times. As you will understand this is very hard work and not for the faint hearted. You would do best to avoid them at all times

Thanks a million for that frank, honest, truethfull and unadorned description of one of the hardest working bands on the circuit. "Punch The Horse" is indeed all you say and more, as will all the thousands of people we have entertained over the years vouch for.Not to forget all the jolly publicans whose coffers we have stuffed with many the fee.

For the one or two who seem to still have have trouble with what we are and what we look like,if you go to members photos look under "Oakley" and "Ossonflags" and all will be revealed.

The Hope and Anchor restaurant-that-sells-beer sits on an alluvial promentary at the confluence of the river Ancholme and the Humber estuary very close to 17 contented Freisians. The grid reference has two letters and 6 digits but I don't know what they are.

If you approach Bob the landlord and exclaim at the top of your voice "thank's for last night, honey - you were fantastic", he will give you a free pint of what-you-fancy.

4.Take the first available left turn that says south ferriby and keep going untill you see the cement works dead ahead.Oh, before you see the cement works the road vears left about a mileish from that roundabout.

This is becoming unbearable. I presume that this site does have a serious purpose. Forgive me, but when I read posts urging the procurement of small quantities of milk for personal consumption, I think it entirely understanable that I turn bright red, start to tremble and almost pop a kidney out of my arse, out of sheer fury.

I will be discussing this with Thornton Curtis and Melton Ross at the lodge this afternoon.

However, if I'd known that the van ride to Uddersfeeled was intended to be a flatulence competition, I would have brought a wind instrument along as well as my collection of wood and ironmongery. What do you people eat?

Mr Raggytash, I think it premature to deduce that Thornton was not in your presence Saturday last. I am given to understand from your postings that several people from your musical community here were indeed present, so that should be where we first look. Thornton, who we mustn't assume is male, is obviously highly literate, which we know from his annoyance at semi or illiterate imposters. If we assume this, that would eliminate most of your guests who embarrass themeselves so publicly here. My initial deduction would be that it is the one called Oaklet, in that he is the only Hull-based contributor who even approaches exemplary syntax.

However, Mr Raggytash, we then peel back the next layer of the onion that is inducing this lacrymose reaction, and examine the modus operandi of Thornton to see if that gives us any clues, and again eliminating poor imitators' scribblings, the last two 'genuine' Thornton entries are visible here as having been made Saturday last, and the timings recorded suggest that the one called Oaklet would have struggled to have been playing with the eponymous band and crafting invective on a keyboard.

Having eliminated Oaklet by demonstrable alibi, and the rest of the revellers (however lamentable their command of English grammar), the next most likely suspect has to be someone connected with this 'Punch The Horse' collective who has cleverly not maintained a risible profile within this domain. That person was not, at face value, present on Saturday night, and would need a publicly accepted alibi to avoid detection. To cut to the chase, I have written the name, or at least the occupation of the suspect at the bottom of my report, but can you guess it?

My dear Miss Marple, you have left a broad spectrum of suspects open to examination with this deduction.

As Mr. Watson was suffering in bed with rather unfortunate bout of influenza, I suspect it is unlikely that he was in fact posting as Thornton Curtis on saturday night.

It may have been the founding member of Rural Sex, but as I have no information relating to his his whereabouts on said saturday evening, my speculation is, as yet, unfounded.

Has anyone ever heard of the tune Bootyman's Umbrella?

On Tuesday last TC and I breakfasted extensively. We discussed, amongst other things, how Thornton seems to have become the object of opprobrium on various threads on this chatter forum. The poor person was beside him/ herself.

On Wednesday, following a panic-stricken text message, I was forced to bundle TC into the back of my Humber Sceptre Gti and take him to the apothecary who dispensed wisdom, succour and a remedy containing witch hazel. Apparently, some of TCs more hurtful outpourings have been directly related to a back injury sustained on a canal towpath ambling holiday taken at the start of October. There is considerable discomfort. We should all try to understand a little more.

You may have been under the impression you were lavishing the tender mercies of the National Health on your friend, but due to an unfortunate outcome on some experimental breast weighing therapy, my practice is no longer of Fundholding status. I can't comment on my name being removed from the Medical Register, as the matter is still sub judice, but I do assure you, Sir, that I will take any slander to law, and advise you in the strongest terms to examine your scribblings here for actionable content. That includes medicines that I may prescribe, as you devalue my professional intervention with such disclosures.

Notwithstanding the above, I trust Mr Curtis is convalescing from his rubbishing here, and pass my fond regards to Lady Ootton, and my thanks for her dignified silence through the aforementioned criminal investigation.

I remain your humble servant

The current World Cup competition has already been marred by complaints made
to the IRB about the All Blacks being allowed to motivate themselves by
performing the Haka' before their games, which has led to the other
competing nations being asked to suggest pre-match rituals of their own.
As a result, the IRB Rugby World Cup 2003 Organising Committee has now
agreed to the following pre-match displays:

1.    The England team will chat about the weather and drink tea before
moaning about how they invented the game and gave it to the world, and how
it's not fair that everyone still thinks New Zealand are the best team in
the world.

2. The Scotland team will chant "You lookin' at me Jimmy?" before
smashing an Iron Bru bottle over their opponents' heads.

3.    The Ireland team will split into two, with the Southern half
performing a Riverdance, while the Northerners bang drums & march the
Traditional route from their dressing room to the pitch, via their opponents
dressing room.

Subject: RE: Punch The Horse - November fred
From: The DeanMeister

4.    Argentina will unexpectedly invade a small part of opposition
territory, claim it as their own "Las In-Goals-Areas" and then be forcibly
removed by the match stewards.

5.    Two members of the South African team will claim to be more
important than the other 13 whom they will imprison between the posts whilst
they claim the rest of the pitch for themselves.

6.    The Americans will not attend until almost full time. In future
years they will amend the records to show that they were in fact the most
important team in the tournament, won it single handedly and Hollywood will
make a film called 'Saving No.8 Lyle'.

7.    Five of the Canadian team will sing La Marseillaise and hold the
rest of the team to ransom.

8.    The Italian team will arrive in Armani gear, s£xually harass the
female stewards and then run away.

Subject: RE: Punch The Horse - November fred
From: The DeanMeister
Date: 27 Nov 03 - 07:19 AM

9.    The Georgians will sneak into the other half of the pitch, mow it
and then claim that it was all in line with European "grass quotas". They
will then curl up under the posts and have a kip until half time, when their
appeal for compensation against the UK government will be heard.

10. The Japanese will attempt to strengthen their team by offering good
salaries to the key opposition players and then run around the pitch at high
speed in a highly efficient manner before buying the ground (with a subsidy
from the UK Government).

11. The French will declare they have new scientific evidence that the
opposition are in fact all mad. They will then park lorries across the
halfway line, let sheep loose in the opposition half and burn the officials.

12. The Australians will have a barbie before negotiating lucrative singing
and TV contracts in the UK. They will then invite all their mates to come
and live with them in Shepherds Bush, London.

13. Unfortunately the Committee were unable to accept the Welsh suggestion,
following complaints from the RSPCA.

Sir William, a thousand pardons! My wayward brother Melton has artfully avoided his medication, and sadly also his probation officer, and absconded with an expensive electronic tag to resurface in our childhood home of Lincolnshire. It is also my sad duty to inform you that his medical credentials were in fact purchased rather than studied for, and that you should urgently seek genuine medical assistance for your friend, the good Mr Curtis.

Melton was such a happy boy, and I'm at a loss to know where he went wrong. Quite how he fell from a promising undergraduate to a loathsome pornographer is a mystery and an abiding embarrassment to the family Ross. Our poor late father was hastened to the grave by the discovery that Melton's film about the tobacco industry was in fact a rather more sinister celebration of 'snuff'. It was a relief to have him safely back in the bosom of the family, albeit at a conveniently local high security home for distressed gentlefolk.

Anyway, to focus on happier things, you seem to enjoy a jolly pastoral community here. I've had a bit of a look round, and found at least one chap championing the true path. I can understand you seeking help for Mr Curtis, as the poor chap does seem eggy, but being trained to see both sides, I can also see the rather obvious cause of his irritation. I counsel that perhaps if the brethren here were a little less excited about round numbers and a little more accepting that non-Hullensians are laughing with them, then these local threads for local people would be a little corner of heaven.

Peace be with you

Good evening to the community of Mudcat.

I was alerted to your wee problem by my cousin Seaton Ross in his search for the origins of the tune 'Bootyman's Umbrella'. It seems he wants to put something back into this place to make up for the misdeeds of that bastard brother of his.

I can't tell you that I know it as a tune, but we do enjoy it as a parlour game here in the Western Isles. Many generations ago, the Reverend Tertius Bootyman was vicar to the parish of Bute (and both names are corruptions of the word Buty) and legend has it that the vicar was a tartar for doctrine. Anyone heard to blaspheme in his earshot could expect a sharp jab in the ribs fromm his doughty umbrella. The game evolved along the lines that one player is Bootyman, and all the others take it in turn to invent double-entendres, until someone forgets the double bit, and gets a sharp clip udside the chops with the aforesaid furled umbrella. I have to tell ye that it is hilarious fun.

I'm sad I can't help with your search for the tune, but I feel sure that it is an equally ancient lament from these shores, and it warms my heart to know that it is a pipe tune. Good luck in your search.

'The Sun' is a very useful paper, it can be used to line guinea pig cages to absorb the inordinate amounts of urine they produce,put in compost bins when the compost is too wet, to wipe one's arse when there is a lack of loo paper,to catch baby sick,etc,etc. It is not,in my opinion, a good source of reference for social/cultural/economic and military issues. Can't we send it's reporters & editors out to Iraq where hopefully they might expire!

Looks like it falls to me to raise the tone of this thread.

What a week. I can take with me to Greece the fact that El Ted has stopped his multiple monosyllabic assaults on the forum and has received from me and apparently the moderators of the site sufficient warnings to alter his pattern of posting.

I imagine that his enthusiasm for contributing to the site has diminished and that he may well regret his whole introduction to the ease at which one can post here - but I'd advise him to persevere. Ted might eventually feel confident enough to make a contribution here. When he does, I'm sure I will start to read his posts and enjoy what he writes.

The El Ted threads has also lead me to identify various forms of posting and I wondered if you would allow me to illustrate them. They are:

Droppings

These are the utterances of El Ted and his associates to a tee. Droppings are monosyllabic posts that are of absolutely no use to anyone, except perhaps to a small collection of fellow droppers – normally known or related to the dropper. A dropper's posts are small nuggets of nothing, scented by the foul musky stench from illiteracy glands, normally followed by exclamation marks and characterised by a lamentably poor grasp of the English language. Droppers are hard-of-thinking and need little encouragement. They also are result –oriented and invent quantitative targets. Droppings, if produced in sufficient numbers result in complaints.

Dung

Purveyors of dung produce beautifully written, extensive posts that achieve nothing. Dung is of no interest to the majority of readers of the threads but exists merely to attest to the erudition of the poster.

Contributors of dung are as relevant to the site as purveyors of droppings. Whilst I appreciate the syntax in the dung-postings of my peers, I ask you all to stop.

Anyway, today, I have finally sold the wool shop in ….. I was going to write the name of the town then but remembered the fatwa issued by El Ted for the insult to him and his daughter – remind me Ted, what was that again? Or was it a Doppelcurtis from your circle of now embarrassed and silenced Mudcatters?

From Tuesday, I will be over-wintering in mainland Greece with the lovely Natasha. Have a great winter.

Dear Mr Curtis

I am appauled at what you have just written (and I don't give a fig for spelling or grammar I exercise my right to choose how I speak or write, it is my choice and you are in no possition to dictate anything to me). Where was I? oh yes whilst I agree that some of the El Ted threads were meaningless to the majority of Catters, to a limited few they gave great amusement. El Ted is a very fine musician and an upstanding member of the community. The fact that he upset you in his threads is not his or anyone elses responsibility but your own. You chose to read and contribute to the threads, as indeed you have this one, therefore the responsibility is entirely yours.

I hope that you enjoy your winter in Greece with the lovely Natasha and please remember that whilst in Greece you should take lots of photographs of military aircraft. Enjoy
John
