Hanging fine Mac.

Good to see you are all still here, even Spendi!


I often wonder if he sold his soul to The Devil.

I'll do some writing up on my last trip on line this time. I spoke to my mate Dutchy a few minutes ago, he's willing to enter some of my pics up, (my comp will not allow me to for whatever reason) if I e-mail him the same first.

I'll be in touch.

Coming out of the unfathomable deepness of the oriental jungles, here he is!

I saw Pete Seeger do a concert at the St Andrew's Halls in Glasgow (since burnt down) and very good he was. Around 1962 it must have been. He was playing and singing with his usual banjo or 12-string guitar accompaniment, then he pulled a big branch of a tree out from the wings onto the stage, opened a banjo case and took out a woodsman's felling axe, and proceeded to shout out a work song while swinging the axe to chop through the branch.

Very good, you had to be there.

I once saw a cartoon in Private Eye (I think).

There was an accident in the street and a crowd all around a guy lying on the ground with ambulence men giving him first aid.

A bloke in a suit with a small case was shoving his way in saying-

"Make way-make way, I'm an underpant salesman."

Right Mathos- get going with the Rider Haggard stuff. You change the menu.

Rider Haggard!


Get real Spendi, you have this annoying if not irritating habit of wearing 'dead man's shoes'


You should perhaps be a crypt keeper!

Handy with an axe was Pete. He had to be manhandled away when he tried to take an axe to the cables when Dylan went electric at Woodstock.

He was only sweet when he was getting his own way. Witnesses said he was frothing at the mouth.

Artistic temperament, obviously. He must have taken that axe with him everwhere.

Hey Mac

Glad Newcastle was canny. Good to see you. At least if you're well fed the tummy won't be grumbling a? :wink:

this is what makes one proud to be british, a feisty young woman hitching up the keyboard and throwing her brassier away.

If he starts telling us about his bravery and his intrepid exploits in the Outlands they might very well call him in for six months of that.
