|
28 Jul 01 - 07:29 PM (#516835) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter K (Fionn) There's a mighty tree, known as the Mighty Oak, which is certainly a few hundred years old; there are a few hundred acres of mature forest, and a few thousand of forestry plantations. And Nottingham's castle is hugely eclipsed by many others, but the city does claim to have the oldest pub in Britain, the Trip to Jerusalem. It was from there (allegedly) that Robin and his merry men set forth on King Richard's crusade against Saladin. Until a year or two ago, you could at least have visited "the World of Robin Hood," built around the set of the Kevin Costner film, but I'm afraid even that's gone now. Maybe the sheriff is still in office though, because someone keeps hiking up the council tax. |

28 Jul 01 - 08:26 PM (#516863) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peg Nottingham is quite a lovely town, but no, there is no forest really left anymore...you might like the Forest of Dean in Oxfordhsire (I think? or is it Hampsire?)

28 Jul 01 - 10:16 PM (#516914) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Midchuck I always knew I was born 800 years too late. 800 years ago, you'd have had to play a lute with gut strings and friction pegs. Want to try to tune one of those, and then to make any real noise on it? And, of course, there's very little chance either one of us would have lived to our present ages with the medical care and sanitation they had then - and I, at least, if I had, wouldn't have had a tooth left in my head, so I couldn't sing very well. I think probably every one of my teeth has at least one filling, but I still have them all. The interesting question to me is, if I'd been born 800 years in the future, would things be better or worse? Or would they be similiar to 800 years in the past? Peter. |

29 Jul 01 - 12:11 AM (#516959) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: catspaw49 Sinsull alluded to Kendall's legal problems that he may be trying to escape and I think it's fair to warn all of you that his trip may have some ulterior motive. The Captain was recently arrested for exposing himself and has a suitcase full cut off pantlegs. Although he has been barred from purchasing trench coats in a 5 state area, I fear he is going to fly out of LaGuardia in New York where they don't know him......yet. So do be careful where you take him and do not give him any time alone...........except perhaps at the Jug where he can expose himself to any raving paranoids, and there seems to be at least one there. When the police searched his house they found a lot of articles on England, but specifically an awful lot of stuff about Charles and Camilla. My guess would be that he has a plan to expose himself to them. This is very logical as neither of them has any idea what a real penis looks like and although Kendall ain't much, he has Charlie beat hands down....or up....well, you know what I mean. Just wanted to let you all know..........just in case. Spaw

In this village is the church where, ledgend says,Robin and Marrion got married. A walk away is the Oak tree mentioned earlier. It is worth seeing. They say that it was the tree where Robin kept his pantry and concealed himself when the Sherriff's men were near. In truth in the days of Robin Hood it would only have been an acorn. Patrish lives very near to the site of Kirklees Priory where Robin's grave is said to be, unfortunatly it is on private land and not accessable to the public. Bill |

30 Jul 01 - 09:41 AM (#517627) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: Peter K (Fionn) Does your mood ever go to the other extreme, Kendall? If so you should check out a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D068483183X/102-3726647-4829727">Touched with Fire: Manic-Depressive Illness & the Artistic Temperament by Kay Redfield Jamison where you will find confirmation that you are probably a creative genius (if you didn't know already). There's even a dedicated webring to which you can link your own website. Peg, the Major Oak must certainly have been rather grand once upon a time, though Californian Mudcatters might not have been that impressed. These days it is held up by an array of props, which admittedly become increasingly vestigial as the technology advances, but the effect is still rather demeaning and touristy. If you do make it to these parts, Kendall, don't forget to have a little gloat at Newark Castle, where Bad King John ended his days (after losing all his treasure in The Wash). |

30 Jul 01 - 12:22 PM (#517721) Subject: RE: BS: Kendall in England From: kendall I dont think I'm Bi-polar, because my highs just feel like normal to me. If we draw a base line at zero, with extremes of ,say, 20 in each direction, my highs would be something like 5, and, my lows, 10-15. Right now, I'm about 12. As an example of a high, I probably hit 15 when I was told that I was going to record for Folk Legacy, and, a low of maybe, 15 when I got divorced. I've never been suicidal, although it has crossed my mind how easy it would be. I have a natural aversion to suicide, because I believe in re-incarnation, and, if you commit suicide, you have to come back as a public servant. Humor is the opiate of the melancholy. |
