MC Fat 'Official' 50 Birfday

From: GUEST,MC Fat

Just to let you all know I'm 50 this year and in the tradition of the Queen I am to have a number of celebrations. Having already celebrated my 49 3/4's in November, I will now be celebrating at Fagans (Sheffield) on Sunday afternoon February 22nd with music and eatable galore !! My proper birfday is Tuesday 24th but I have been 'persuaded' by the Lady Aefleda and others to have an 'official' birfday bash in Whitby 28th and 29th Feb working on the premise that folks can find accomodation betterer in Whitby rather than Sheffield. All are heartily invited to the tap & Spile for much merriment.

Will we be booking same cottage as New Year? For night of 28th onwards? If booking for Friday 27 prices are extra 50%, ie £380 rather than £260. Give me a ring to discuss.

Further to earlier post those were the weekly rates to be adjusted for weekend but there is still a large discrepancy.

Do holograms actually celebrate birthdays then ? If they did, I would expect the aniversaries to be based on perfect binary numbers.

Hope you have a good time time Jim - perhaps you'll have to try and make it down south to my BBQ in June, when I shall be celebrating qualifying for a bus pass !

My Leige,
It just so happens that my good lady Wombat Matilda de Raggytash of Kirklees and myself will have to visit our outer provinces at the time of your celebrations. Thus we look forward to joining in the festivities in the Equine Niger or perhaps Butlers Brasserie and Beer Boutique

News has travelled to the depths of the South East, where the trusty Kentonians (!?) are already planning the long and arduous journey to Whitby for this auspicious ocassion/occassion/ event.

Watch out for a phone call from pater, MC Fat!

On the other hand I might invent an unlikely story involving missed taxi's and cancelled trains to explain my absence from the event.

Great idea to have an Honours List - do they have to earn it (eg: services as Whitby landladies (not those kinds of services); longstanding services to folk music (no - too boring); worst singer of the weekend; best present for Jim; who can drink the most brandy - the list could be endless really couldn't it?

Sorry have been absent, been a poorly boy. The honours list you have first suggested sounds good can add Worst Rendition of Fields of Athenry/Ride On, already have a candidate for Worst Folk Festival in Otley. Need some addresses for accomodation for Big Bird and Campervan !!

Give us a call some time soon Jim... if we are to book accomodation for us all we need to know who's coming... will you share a bilet with the Chesterfield sheep shagger... or do you have other plans?

It's OK Raggy - I'm only kidding - we southerners can't let you northerners have things all your own way. :-)

After all, I'm rude to McFat on a matter of principle (we older gits have to stick together) and if you're going to support him to the extent of a brown tongue - a bit more Sh*t in your direction isn't going to make much difference !

Initial indications are that you may well get snowed in at Whitby this weekend, chaps. You may have to extend the celebrations. Ever tried getting up Blue Bank in the snow...??

There are those who are looking forward to the snow being snowed in. For those with reasonable disposable income I would like to recommend the Sandbeck Hotel, about £30.00 per head for B and B so, slightly over the general price, and well worth it. Ken and Sue Dyson.
