07 Oct 04 - 09:28 AM (#1291217) Subject: BS: NYCFTTS expands into Europe From: Roger the Skiffler This just in: PR staff at the NYCFTTS report that recent tours by alumni Neal Young and Brian Wilson have led to record profits, which in turn have financed an expansion into Europe. After extensive consumer research (ie. reading Mudcat threads) Hull has been identified as being the most suitable base for the European operation. A floating base (a former curry ship) has been purchased and fitted out and will be named the John Prescott Centre for the Permanently Confused (JPCFTPC). Ozzy Osbourne has graciously consented to be our patron, if he remembers, and the opening ceremony will be performed by jOhn from Hull (if he's nowt else on)by breaking a bottle of curry sauce across the bows. Bat bhajis will be served, and the water will flow like champagne. Reservations are being taken now so contact us to put down a marker for your friends, relatives and bandmates who may be in need of our services. Fees start at £57 a day. Local staff are also being recruited so update your CV and send it in to: JPCFTPC,Wharf 3, Hull 9 , UK. © Disassociated Press, NY & Hull RtS |

Everyone in our present locale has heard all four of my jokes at least three times each, so I am about to say "the Hull with it all" and relocate. Under the basic theory that the staff must be at least as confused as the inmates...no, that's not quite right...residents, do you think there may be employment prospects for us? |

Have you lined up some age appropriate star type wenches to occupy my time/bed/whatever? If not, I'm not coming and you will have to retain your bedpan duties over there in conjunction with your new admin role as I will not approve the additional budget. Spaw |
