Canadienne - I think you're mistaken... that's not like the potiate that I was shown earlier on today... looks to me as if someone has sold you a pup!!!

Ruth - I trust that you are going to be careful when getting to know Steve.. I reckon he's likely to be a bit scared in his new home to start with, and you know how when they're apprehensive they can be a little irrational... make sure you're using padded gloves when feeding him to start with. I'd hate to think of you coming to any harm!

er, I didn't mean that your wife is wide, George...

Reminds me - this IS a music forum...


Mt wife is wide, I cannot get oer
Neither have I wings to fly
But first it bent and then it broke
So did my love prove false to me

I reached my finger into some soft bush
Thinking the fairest flower to find
But not so deep as the love I'm in
I know not if I sink or swim

I pricked my finger to the bone
And left the fairest flower behind
But love grows old and waxes cold
And fades away like the morning dew

or something like that...

SouthWestern Troll Pudding.

Ingredients : first things that come into your head.

Preparation: pour everything into a large bowl and stir and stir and stir. (If being filmed, ensure that hands are prominently shown).
Cooking: place bowl in oven for as long as you like. Pudding can be reheated.
Servings: a little goes a long way and can be doled out to serve hundreds if not thousands.
Warning - this meal can make many people feel nauseous so toilet facilities must be provided.

Ralph, Diane and Ruth all know each other. Ralph admitted to 'ganging up' going on, on the BBC thread...the David Gilmore one for your information DA.

Also, I did not engineer anything, merely put the question to Ralph.
I like to talk about artists that I like to talk about, and I have a right to...as does anyone else.

I have never interrupted any of Ralph's threads about Nic, or anyone else....

However, as I said to Dave earlier...you are at liberty to take my words, twist them and use them for your own spinning tactics.

I actually wanted Ralph to answer my question, that's all. And the question I asked was:

"Ralph, purely as a matter of interest, what would you think of people who took over a Nic Jones thread in the way that some, including yourself, have on here?"

He chose not to answer that question at all, but to personally attack me, yet again. It was ENTIRELY his choice to do that.

I'd suggest, once more, that he works out what his, imo, obsessive problem with me is and sorts it out as this behaviour will end up making him poorly.

I will not stop writing about the people I want to write about, despite Ralph Jordan throwing a complete wobbly every time I dare to mention the name of Show of Hands or Seth Lakeman.

Get over it guys.

And then...realise that no amount of your bullying will get to me. You only serve to show yourselves up in the eyes of those who read messageboards, but never write on them.

Potiates? We have them where I come from, delicious grated with a little Flavian pobble bean and baked in a slow oven for 4 days.

3 potiates in their jackets (unless the jacket is tweed, in which case, peel carefully, VERY carefully).
1 gudge of Flavian pobble beans, shelled.
1 thermo-nuclear device.

Prepare the pobble beans in the usual way, but instead of flaying them, grate them over a bowl of soapy water.

Wash and grate the potiates, simmer in their own juices and when slightly brown, add the pobble beans.

Place in a flameproof bunker and bury bunker under several thousand gudges of soil and rubble. Add the thermo-nuclear device.

After 4 days, dig out your bunker and your potiates will be ready.

Enjoy.

"Well Ralph, At least your words are there for everyone to see."

And I suspect that's what you intended, wasn't it Lizzie? You're very adept at picking on points which mean something to your target, and then pushing the button, standing back and waiting to see what happens.

"I'm very glad I didn't say them."
But you engineered them and deserved them!

"As always you've done nothing but attack me"
Most untrue. It takes a lot of provoking to result in an outburst like that... and you do do a lot of that, don't you!

"I'd suggest you start putting more love into your soul than hatred.
And that goes for your pals too."

Heed your own words - oh and by the way, you keep referring to "Ralphie and his pals", as though they come as a ready made item and that Ralph is the "leader of the pack". Totally ridiculous! Before you started having a go at quite a few of us individually I don't think we knew each other or knew OF each other - and indeed some of us still don't.

Now back to the potiates....

Well Ralph,

At least your words are there for everyone to see.

I'm very glad I didn't say them.

As always you've done nothing but attack me. I've no idea why you suddenly changed from being 'Jolly Ralph' to this one, but I prefer you as you used to be way back.

Use your words to wound if that's what you think words are for. Personally I should think that Nic Jones would be ashamed of those words of yours above.

I know other people who are also very close to Nic, and they never would dream of using words like that to me....or indeed to anyone else.

I'd suggest you start putting more love into your soul than hatred.
And that goes for your pals too.

Why, when you kept putting similar messages to that on the BBC, you have been allowed to remain on there, whilst I've been banned, despite the fact that not once did I respond to you 'in kind' or should that be 'in unkind' I've no idea......

But, that is the way of the BBC these days.

I wish you well

Smilie Pie

Take 3 million smilies. Mince fine. Lard well with pork fat.
Fry several tear inducing onions in fake butter. Garlic optional.
Mix with some flower. Slap between hands til shown well.
Add plastic flower seeds to suit.
Bake in a Sidmouth oven (a Whitby will work in a pinch) til nearly burnt, turn out for the masses. They shall natter about it for yonks.

Qoute from Ms Cornish (aka Mrs Route)

"Ralph, purely as a matter of interest, what would you think of people who took over a Nic Jones thread in the way that some, including yourself, have on here?

Anyone have any recipes for Hypocrite Pie at all?"

Liz.

I have been warned not to respond to your posting.
But, I can't resist a little repost.
All I can say is that you are not worthy to even speak the name of Nic Jones..... Do you know him?? Have you ever heard his work??
Didn't think so....
You can have a dig at me and others, but don't take Nics name in vain.

Who do you think you are?
Some sort of valiant knight, fighting the good fight on behalf of you little friends to keep Old England English????

Nic, even 25 years on, has more talent and humanity in his little finger than you have in your whole body.

It is, of course, a little known fact that the name of the potiate is derived from the Italian verb "to prune". Although the beasts are principally thought of as carnivores, the long fangs were originally used for herbivorous purposes, and they were kept in smallish herds in order to keep the grass down in the Venezuelan meadows - which in turn provided them with that succulent grass fed flavour when the Venezuelan farmers turned to breeding them for meat.

Never mind the Venezuelan potiates - what about the Swaziland cross variety - a much gentler and sophisticated beast, with delicate markings ,and no need to de-fang. Evolution has worked such wonders with them ! Safe with children ... well nearly... but good guard potiates as well. You never need to worry about mad intruders with them - just don't give them water after midnight!

I would suggest so - unless you are an experienced handler - but the definite de-ing that needs doing is to prevent pots (the collective terms for a group of young) of unwanted potiates ... if you follow me.

Do they need to be de-fanged and de-clawed before being introduced to a domestic environment?

No, these are of the Charlotte variety.
And a steam roller is built like a Chieftain (get the 'music' allusion, though that is somewhat debateable) tank these days.
It might be a bit much for the internal organs, though, now that Goerge has mentioned them.
Potiate livers can be conserved as a delicacy and made into paté (can't be arsed to remember how to do an 'a circonflex').
But you do need rather a lot of them.
