06 Oct 02 - 05:54 PM (#797845) Subject: A break from Punch the Horse - please? From: Peter K (Fionn) It would come as a welcome relief for me at least, if John of Hull and others could lay off their remorseless plugging of the one band around which their whole world seems to revolve. No doubt that small world is important to them, but I think a sense of proportion and a little less selfishness would be in order. There must be hundreds of performers and bands in and around the Mudcat community, many doing dozens of gigs a year. If every booking provoked a thread, the cafe wouldn't be worth visiting. |

06 Oct 02 - 06:25 PM (#797861) Subject: RE: A break from Punch the Horse - please? From: Little Hawk Fionn - Well, yes, but... If I look at my own Mudcatting habits, I find that I frequently look into no more than 5 or 6 given threads on Mudcat on a given day. That's out of how many on the whole board? 60 or 70? Given that fact, how can one or two threads about "Punch the Horse" be a problem for someone? Just don't read them! Besides, if we discontinue "Punch the Horse", we may never find out what happens with the great Twillingsgate love triangle, and various other fascinating subjects like that. Now it's easy...just resist the temptation to open a "Punch the Horse" thread when you see it. Pretend it isn't there. If all else fails, try cold showers, scourging, flagellation, hair shirts, that sort of thing...until you have well and truly broken the habit. - LH |

From: catspaw49 Gee Fionn....Were you reading my mind or this post I made the other day on a different thread? ********************************************************************* Subject: RE: political threads From: catspaw49 - PM Date: 05 Oct 02 - 09:12 AM Political discussion has been a part of the place for the past four years at least and there are times when I think it goes way past the limit of reasonable, but at other times is about right. Many here, myself included, enjoy these discussions. I just personally think we go overboard at times to the point where it seems every other thread is polishit and many of them on the same subject. Every policy change doesn't need a new thread when we're talking about the Bush administration or whatever. I wish we'd all think more before starting ANY thread ANY time. If I never see another Punch the fuckin' Horse thread started it will be too soon! ********************************************************************* Italics added....... Spaw |

07 Oct 02 - 05:00 AM (#798145) Subject: RE: A break from Punch the Horse - please? From: smallpiper IN answer to Thomas the R's question...I have a combination set of smallpipes made by Hamish Moore. I have two interchangable chanters one in the key of A which allows me to play tunes in A or D and the other is in the key of D which allows me to play in D or G. So I can play in sessions with all types of instruments including melodeons. The four drones allow me to give a nice background cord in any of the above keys. Now where we we oh yes jOhn the slashed seats refers to Ms P's predeliction for stealing cars and vandalising them apparently she gets into such a lather that it takes the Acorn ages to recover, he goes all glassy eyed and unnecessary |

10 Oct 02 - 01:28 AM (#800118) Subject: RE: BS: A break from Punch the Horse - please? From: Coyote Breath Or maybe , thinks I, just maybe, the horse's name is Punch. Part of a team of huge dray horses, Percherons, perhaps. The other horse being Judy, of course. Actually Judy wasn't a mare BOTH horses were geldings. Their ambitions or at least Punch's ambition , Judy was just along for the ride, so-to-speak, was to join the Circus and pull one of them fancy wagons with the pretty gold leaf decorations. Well it all came to naught, Punch had a weakness for stout and became terribly drunk on Saint Patrick's Day. When he recovered, he found that Judy had left and taken the harness with "her". For years he could be seen, staggering through the worst part of town, cageing drinks. He was found frozen to death in an alley in Buffalo. There was only his old, worn horse collar and tucked into it was a faded and stained color graveur, a handbill for Barnum and Bailey's Circus. Such are the evils of drink! CB |
