Your sense of humor is only slightly worse than mine. |

Two young men in tarted up Mini's with no exhaust thought it would be a good idea to race up behind us revvin their engines and spinning their tyres and blowin their horns. Red took exception and freaked, pulled the reins out of my hands and my shoulder (the one I had repaired last year) took the strain - or not. |

The most painful household incident is wearing socks and stepping on an upturned plug. Its impossible to look cool whilst picking up a Frisbee. And last but not least, there's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got your hand or head stuck in something. |

09 Nov 06 - 06:03 AM (#1880019) Subject: RE: Barton, Beds, Bull November things 06 From: Scrump Well it was pretty busy, but not as packed as it has been once or twice in the past. Strangely, there was a whole row of 5 or 6 chairs empty until the interval. No idea what was wrong with them, they looked OK to me. I didn't request the Wild Rover so I've no idea if he can play it or not (?). It would probably sound odd in that strange tuning of his, anyway. |

20 Nov 06 - 05:11 AM (#1888794) Subject: RE: Barton, Beds, Bull November things 06 From: Ross Here is a message from Theo Thomas: FRIDAY 24th NOVEMBER 2006 - FLORIDA 'Florida adopt a confident, bold and brassy persona, with trumpet, flugelhorn and sax adding to their already deeply impressive sound' - Rock 'n Reel 'Those of us who have ranted and raved to their brazen driving rhythms will know why they are being booked at more and more bops…Florida get better every time I hear them…' Folk Roots 'Florida have the confidence and musicianship to feature trumpet and saxophone as front line melody instruments' Shire Folk Just a few examples of what the Folk Press say about this impressive and experience ceilidh band, who will be the guest band at Hitchin's Unicorn Ceilidh at Hitchin Town Hall on Friday 24th November. Fronting the band will be the ever-ebullient caller GORDON POTTS, back again after a storming night in September. He is one of the country's top callers, after all, so it seems right we should invite him back! The interval entertainment this month is from RAINMAKERS – internationally-costumed dancers displaying traditional and contemporary folk dances from all over the world, many to tunes with odd time signatures! Just a few tickets are now left for our grand New Year's Eve 'BIG CEILIDH' – get there early to secure yours! Doors open at 7.30 for an 8.00 p.m. start, with an 11.30 p.m. finish – entry is only £7.50 for adults and £4 for children under 14. Tickets are available at the door, or in advance from 01582 733113 / 724261 There's also a real ale bar, with a selection from the Potton Brewery, and soft drinks.

20 Nov 06 - 03:24 PM (#1889173) Subject: RE: Barton, Beds, Bull November things 06 From: Cathie I missed going to Ashwell today. I popped over to the Winterfolk there a couple of times this weekend. (Popped is probably wishful thinking for the first visit, via Biggleswade, forgetting route). I learnt about song-writing from George P, met Hilary for the first time and got some sound advice from Martin on my accordian playing and how to avoid backache. I heard lots of traditional songs and recognised few. But sang along anyway - it was that kind of a do. Meanwhile my son's friend's mother was busy making him a cake for his 18th birthday! I offered to write him a song, but he wasn't too keen. No guilty working guitar-learning mother-syndrome for me. |
