Cally, sounds like a good night but I'm caught in this parent thing of free taxi service. Gundred is at a gig in Colne and I need to drop her of there and Dan at school. Gundred will make her own way put he needs picking up at 10.30. as they are having an end of show party.

If Nandy does get over makes yourselves known to him. He's really generous and likes buying people drinks. Nolic

PS Oops, forgot to check for spellings!

Shame you can't make it, but thanks for the tip about Nandy.

When he took a crowbar to the rusty hinges on his wallet last Saturday, the moths flying out must have been his pets or something.

Free cab service to a gig in Colne, it's not The Hamsters is it?

The landlord is putting on an Irish Stew, I think.

Nolic is not joking when he says Nandy likes to be in the chair - he is the most generous person I have ever met - and I have the scars to prove it!

I am thinking of bringing the Happy Valley Wanderers Over Eighty Nudist Leapfrog Team Banjo Band over on Friday to play a few rude tunes .-The chap playing the mandolin in the Foster's Pics from last week is Ratcatcher Stu -don't tell him I called him that as he has a degree, or a length-certificate, or something, and the title degrades his satus!

Well I'll come and support it Cal, despite the hurt feelings caused by comments about my rusty wallet, Arkwrights Till is a flowing cornucopia by comparison - - - - - -

Nolic you should be ashamed not to be there, you being a proper Barlicker and all - - -

B.J, for god's sake don't bring that bloody banjo band, the pub has only just re-opened and could well finish up shut for good if that team come - - - - -although on second thoughts the banjos would do to serve the irish stew in - - - - -

Speaking of Stu, he is the local Environmental Health Officer, so that stew had better be good - - - - -the ratcatcher is just one of his merry band, some of the others include the dog warden, the pollution control officer, and the anti-banjo patrol, it being an offence to play a banjo in public - - - - - - - -

I hope we get lots of musicians as I personally prefer listening to Irish tunes rather than Irish 'pop' folk like Whiskey in the Jar or Fields of Athenry. That said, I did brush up on the words to these in case anyone requests them.

Mind you, I think there are only about 3 houses in Barlick that can actually receive Radio Lancs. Funnily enough, I can receive it on my car radio right up to the door, but it just can't be found on my house radios.
