Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Rapparee Date: 04 Jan 05 - 12:14 PM Don't forget Martin Luther King Day (1/17), Anniversary of the (Mexican) Constitution (2/5), Chinese New Year (2/8), My Birthday (2/11), Lincoln's Birthday (2/12), Valentine's Day (2/14), President's Day (2/21), Washington's Birthday (2/22, but originally 2/11), (Mexican) Flag Day (2/24), Mothering Sunday (3/6), St. Patrick's Day (if you don't know, ask in Boston or Chicago), Spring Solistice (3/20, also my sister's birthday), Benito Juarez's birthday (3/21), Easter Monday (3/28), April Fool's Day (4/1), Passover (starts at sundown on 4/23), Administrative Professionals' Day (4/27), (Mexican) Labor Day (5/1), May Day Bank Holiday (5/2), Battle of Puebla day (5/5), Mother's Day (5/8), (Mexican) Mother's Day )(5/10), Armed Forces Day (5/21), Victoria Day (5/23), and Memorial Day & the Spring Bank Holiday on May 30. Then there are things like Imbolc that I didn't mention. Gracious snakes, he thinks while reaching for another, but people sure celebrate the darnedest things. "Throw away the cork, Landlord -- we'll likely have a couple." |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Geoff the Duck Date: 04 Jan 05 - 02:45 PM I think I must have dozed of for a week or so...... Isn't a Gibson a Martini with an onion stuck up its bum? Seeing as I missed all the fun, I think it must be time to go Gregorian. I'll be wishing you all a Happy Christmas in about three days then... It's a better time to post cards anyway - misses the Julian rush.... Quack!! GtD. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 07 Jan 05 - 12:41 PM Wot, Me???? It was that damned Green Fields track on 'Frost and Fire' - for some reason it won't play on the computer, and keeps jamming the Media player.... LTS |

From: SINSULL Date: 07 Jan 05 - 09:08 PM "Once there were green fields Kissed by the sun Once there were vallies Where rivers used to run Once there blue skies With white clouds high above Once they were part of An everlasting love. Where are the green fields that we Used to roam?" That the one, Liz? |

From: Nigel Parsons Date: 09 Jan 05 - 11:09 AM And with the population in apparent decline due to snow blocking people being snowed in, and people being shut out by The 'Cat (shouldn't leave the door ajar when you're outside!) MBSLynne requested that someone enter the tavern for some carry-outs. I thought I'd oblige, but the fire's still roaring, and draught beer is always better inside, so I'll just stop right here... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 09 Jan 05 - 12:02 PM I dunno... it still jams up the works so I've not been able to listen to it! Probably.. if it was Waterson/Carthy recorded it, as it is on 'Frost & Fire'. I'm pulling up my last bowl of whatever and my last mug of mulled wine, starvation from midnight my time on....... LTS |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: el_punkoid_nouveau Date: 09 Jan 05 - 12:05 PM The punkoid sees the roaring fire... sees Nigel Parsons drinking draught beer... thinks "draught...fire...what's he doing nicking my job as resident pyromaniac!" Then he turns away... in time to see an enormous slug slithering in, with a big jar firmly held in it's eye stalks. He reads the label - "Property of The Anchor Inn, Sidmouth - Nigel Bait". "Very silly!" he thinks... |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Nigel Parsons Date: 09 Jan 05 - 12:31 PM Nigel spots the enormous slug, and passes it a supply of Ready Salted crisps. Hearing comments about draught and fire, realises that the one always causes the other. Maybe that explains his dislike of central heating, and his attachment to a pair of warm, comfortable, carpet slippers. Crosses to the bar to refill his pint of "Freefalls" and avoids the green sludge on the carpet next to an empty crisp packet. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MBSLynne Date: 10 Jan 05 - 02:39 AM MBS Lynne wanders in and settles herself in 'her' comfy chair. "Ok Nigel, where's the brandy and babycham you offered me? Chuck another log on the fire someone and give it a good poke..... I have to agree with you about central heating Nigel. Now, who's going to start the singing?" |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 10 Jan 05 - 11:50 AM Logs duly chucked and poked, a nice display of sparks and crackling of dried timber. The beer is still good, the slug has gone, Nigel's wallet has appeared (!) and we look set for a good night. A very good night if Lynne gets through ALL THAT brandy and babycham. "So bring us barrel and set it up right" |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Stilly River Sage Date: 10 Jan 05 - 01:16 PM The food is put away, the critters are all fed, many have been put outside. Inhabitants are lulled by the glowing fire as the Mudcat Tavern drifts into a somnolent January dream time. . . |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Geoff the Duck Date: 11 Jan 05 - 03:33 PM Duck looks across from the Minstrels' Gallery. He watches as a somewhat jellified squid curls itself into a circle in the pit of what by now is just lime flavoured slime. He fluffs up his feathers, turns slowly and disappears into the shadows which extend behind the pews and domino boards. Who knows where he might end up. The search party has not yet returned since the last time someone traversed that way.... Oh Well. We shall see what the year holds in store! Quack!!!! Geoff the Duck. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: MMario Date: 11 Jan 05 - 03:35 PM Minstrel Gallery? When did the Tavern acquire a minstrel's gallery? I tell you - you turn around in this place and something new shows up. |

Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: Liz the Squeak Date: 11 Jan 05 - 04:43 PM But never where you want it...... LTS |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Christmas Tavern too.... From: GUEST,Mingulay Date: 12 Jan 05 - 11:47 AM The minstrel gallery was left over from one of Leadfinger's 'Men in Tights' gigs. It is only cardboard and should not be used, nor should it be placed near any pyromaniacs. Why dominoes should be bored no one knows, after all it's not as though they lead lives any more drab than draughts or tiddleywinks. Perhaps they should appreciate their station in life, after all St. Pancras did! |
