So I guess now that the kids are older you aren't at home as much anymore, huh? I haven't seen you around much. What's up?   harpy

G'day harpgirl,

When I was following up (by 'phone, locally in Sydney) a request from Alison to help with accomodation for a 'Catter intending a visit to Sydney, I realised she has moved house again!

On the basis of the old English proverb: "Three removes is a good as a fire" ... does that mean that over the past couple of years she has had the equivalent of 2/3 of a catastrophic fire ...? No wonder she is too busy too dash moff lightning reponses to Mudcat!

Regards,

Bob Bolton

Alison!!! You're still about!! Flori-DUH has been very rainy and thus wet and relatively cool this summer (low 90's). How's winter treating you?

From: alison

hahaha - thanks Ed, & Jon.... that Belfast accent is dead sexy... the Ozzies keep thinking I'm Canadian!!?!!

winter hasn't been too bad... low 20s C most days (60 - 70F) gets a bit cooler at night..... not bad for winter though.....

still spring starts next week and things will get warmer!!

Alison, I'm glad to see you're still around. I've missed you!

I noticed from your pictures that, like Merlin, you're aging in reverse. If this keeps up, in a few years, you'll be too young to play in pubs. Better start going in the other direction with the rest of us. (Now if you could just move the links menu so the advert doesn't cover part of it...)

I wish you much joyful success!

camera cuts away from THE FAIR ONE and the mad gala she is presiding over on the cruise ship (where she is attended by nubile, adoring young men)to the biggest damned Irishman you have ever seen. He wanders aimlessly through cyber hill and dale, longing for THE FAIR ONE and his lost youth.

From: GUEST,Jon

Thinking more about accents, Alison, I'm having horrors about Angel and Tom (niece and nephew) right now.

They sound normal (if Tranmere/Liverpool is normal) but if things go well for Tim and family now they are out there, I've visions of the kids sounding like little aussies in a couple of year's time...

I'm even seeing them finding "mates" like Skippy or even Tingha and Tucker...

From: Big Mick

Yeah, Amos. She whom I pursue shamelessly over cyber hill and dale wrote that beautiful piece of music for Darla, who was the wife of the fella in my band who got away. I play it at their grave site when we gather to share a little music with them. I will play it again when the veil thins.

Brendy, you old piece of work. You are still causing me trouble...hahahahaha. I went to take a look at the link, and it said to download a java virtual machine. Went to do that, and Windows had me do an update, so now I am in the middle of a three hour download. But I am going to get that friggin' thing loaded and look at your mug.

Sorry about the inconvenience, Mick.
Is a java virtual machine some sort of a cyber coffee maker?.
Could be a handy thing to have, though.
Especially if its the plug-in variety!

Catch you later my man.

good grief they're all crawling out of the woodwork.... I'm glad you started this thread harpy.......

nice to see you Brendy....... when are Thin Lizzy reforming?? *grin*

Amos....... Mick has already told you... but that piece of music was written with him in mind...... he had told me about Darla.... I just sat down with a tape recorder thought about them, picked up the whistle and "hold me close- a tune for Darla" is what came out......., I think about Darla, Jim & Mick everytime I play it...

don't see you very often big fella.....but you know I miss you.....

smallpiper I'll pass on your regards to Siobhan..... she is indeed a "looker" but you want to hear her sing!!... some of these days I'll put on some sound files......

this thread has cheered me up no end.... BTW all of you that have visited the site I hope you put some little people on our guest map (thanks Amos)

Not quite Seamy... we were thinking of holding a Raleigh later on in the evening.
Love the bit of photo manipulation on the old mcnote.com website, though.

Sorry to hijack Alison't welcome back thread, but it's either me or McKittery.
Brendy, a "Raleigh"? For shame, for shame!
And it was not photo manipulation on the website; that was actually me takin' a buck-lep into the air. One take. The oul' knees couldn't do it more than once. By the way, I've never sung into a bicycle-seat in my life. (I've sniffed a few, though....)
Mick, I won't bring the sticks. I don't think there's gonna be time.
Plus, guitar, bodhran, luggage....
See you there, big lad.
Right, back to the regularly scheduled thread...
Welcome back Alison.

Takin' a buck lep, eh? Thought perhaps you were originally impaled on something, and you managed to retouch the offending object out of the picture.

But then again, I suppose you've never done anything stupid, like sing into a bicycle seat, or anything?

Let me guess...
