Sorry, couldn't resist.

.................sorry judy the last thing i wanted to do was frighten you...what i meant was 'sacred music'........reminds me of an important essay i did many many years ago for an very important school exam on world climates when throughout the whole essay i referred to deserts as desserts...even after over 50 years it's a memory that still hurts..........ta ken

That's odd because there is an exotic restaurant near us that has two puddings on the menu : The sahara sundae and The Kalahari cupcake . The chef didn't go to the same school as you did he ?

First off, Happy Belated Birthday, Bernadine! I am sorry that I am late, but I have been very busy consulting with my pastry-chef daughter, Emily on what to make for the official commemorative cupcake for the Leonard Cohen Event here in 2012. It is a good thing that we have enough time to plan for this. At first I thought that a commemorative muffin would be more appropriate, but Emily has convinced me that cupcakes are the way to go (something about people only liking muffin tops and not muffin stumps).

Pete, it is good to "see" you here and we are sorry that we won't see you in Krakow. Perhaps you can save all of your retirement pennies and come to Madison in 2012.

Yorkshire Lad, your poems keep getting better and better.

Ken, your story about your essay brought to mind that time in the old NG when someone referred to the line in Famous Blue Raincoat as being "deep in the dessert."

Looking forward to seeing most of you soon.

Hi Joe
That comment brought back bad memories Jean and I had at a restaurant once and I had to write a nasty letter to the establishment it was just after the release of the Songs of Love and Hate album so I didn't think Leonard would mind if I copied his Famous Blue Raincoat format

Famous Blue Moment

It’s four in the morning and I must remember
To write to you now by way of this letter
The pudding was cold and the beef was still living
The music was far too loud all through the evening

I hear that you’re finding a little mouse deep in the dessert
We’re paying for nothing now; I hope that you’re keeping some kind of record

Yes and Jean came back with the beef that was rare
She said that you gave it to her
The night that we planned to have deer
Can we ever have deer?

This time when we ordered it looked so much older
We asked for prime rib and we only got shoulder
We’ve been to this restaurant again and again
And now we are home we will have to complain

And you treated my woman to a fake of your life
And when she came home she was nobody’s wife

Well I see her there with the meat in her teeth
One thin slice of red beef
Well it kept Jean awake

She sends her regards

And what can I tell you my brother, her killer
What can I possibly say?
I guess that I’ll kiss you; I guess I’ll forgive you
Once you agree now to pay

Feel free to come by here for Jean or for me
And when you’ve done sleeping bring my woman’s fee

And yes thanks for the trouble you took with the eyes
I thought they were good but I prefer fried

Yes and Jean came back with the beef that was rare
She said that you gave it to her
The night that we planned to have deer
Can we ever have deer !

Sincerely
Yorkshire Lad

Great to see you here, too, Joe !! Sounds like you're putting LOTS of everything into your plans already... somehow, I knew it would be this way .

Just had to comment on what a strange and eclectic thread this is....whew! Started out with a trek up a mountainside in Wales, and a great meetup. Somehow it has now incorporated the World Cup in S. Africa....men in shorts ...much discussion about teams etc (er, lost here...but do like the shorts)...cupcakes...etc. Oh dear, liverpoolken, was this the thread where you had the AWESOME cake with the unified heart..the allsorts..and those funny polka-dot flaggy things....loved it! You truly are very clever....also loved the hundreds of little smileys that your computer saved and spit out at you...how sweet.

There were also many birthday greetings to Bernadine, and a very funny poem from Yorkshire Lad! Finally, Joe Way's daughter working on cupcakes for the 2012 meetup!!! Agree, no muffin tops...there are too many of them evident in the summer!

Thanks for the smile everyone!

oh-oh...forgot about the little bastards....

[tinderella]

Another masterpiece Phil.

Judy if you dont know whether it is rugby or soccer... well I will leave you in your ignorant bliss ( dont want to use anymore smiley thingys and upset our Ken)

Yes this thread does get off the beaten track a lot but we all did that when we were climbing that famous mountain so I think it is allowed here.



How many days now YL?

[Yorkshire Lad]

How many days now YL?

Technically if you are counting from the beginning of this post until we land at Kracow airport it is 63 but if you are counting from now until the start of the event then it is 64 . However we are now at 11.54pm so if this post takes longer than 6 minutes then the numbers will have changed to 62/63 respectively . Personnally I prefer to waffle on so that it is only 62 because then we are one day nearer . What do you say !
Btw the time on the post is one hour slow !

[Yorkshire Lad]

There you go I have just been and made my lovely Jean a nice cup of cocoa and now it is only 62 days to Kracow .

[Yorkshire Lad]

I have been thinking if the time on this thread is one hour slow and it is central european time that means when we land in Kracow we will have one hour extra to spend there ! YIPPEE !

[tinderella]

Thank you so much for keeping me informed.

The days are flying and the World Cup will keep me occupied most of the summer and then before you know it, we will all be heading to our airports to fly to Kracow and meet up again.

I have just made a pot of coffee and then I am going to the park with my daughter and grand daughter , it is an amazing day.

Hope the sun is shining wherever you all are.

[liverpoolken]

I got 14 to 1..... ah i gotta follow some team while the matches are on and it is always more interesting not to follow the favourites

bernie

i was in liverpool city centre this afternoon enjoying the sunshie and watching our annual lord mayor's parade when I couldn't but help notice this poster in a bookie's window...as you can see if you had placed your bet here in liverpool rather than in dublin you would have got 16/1 rather the the measley 14/1 that those auld dublin skangers gave you.......knowing nothing about the modern game of footfall meself and knowing henning to be the honest man i know he is i've always believed his stories about germany's supremacy in all things concerning the game of footfall....so I was surprised and somewhat gobsmacked to see how low down in the betting that germany is........

....another reason for you to move over to liverpool is demonstrated in this other poster i saw this afternoon.......£1:70 works out at just 2.05 euros....the last time i was in dublin town i was paying anything between 5 and 8 euros a pint of the dark stuff.......

I've also got some ideas on the maths front which I want to explore. So it looks like I'm going to keep myself very busy after August...it'll keep me out the way of Jeremy Kyle etc:) Pete

and yet another poster i spotted today just for pete....which i think shows that mr kyle isn't too well thought of around these parts either..........ta ken

[tinderella]

Thanks for that Ken. Well i guess 14 to 1 is a decent enough bet.

Speaking of Jeremy Kyle. On the bus home today there was some kinda religious poster asking the question. What know ye of God ( or something like that ) I had a few beers on me... and underneath it said... Who's Son is he?

Some bright spark had written in black marker............... the DNA tests on the Jeremy Kyle show will reveal the truth!


I may not have got the wording right but I am sure you get my meaning. I had a few beers tonight and just home and I am on the net to stop myself from eating the whole kitchen including the furniture.

Another bank holiday here this weekend in Ireland so a long weekend beckons ..... dont worry... I am not putting a smiley here but I am smiling
