This will be the first time I've heard of it, used it. I must read the
instructions.

Dip cuttings? What the !!!!!!!!! I thought I could put a little powder in
the water and water my plants and when I got up tomorrow morning there would
be massive big rain forrests in me living room. I've only got two plants
like. I had plans on climbing in them and making swings. It's not fair.

Edith-just off to try it out on Orly (yust yoking) eh eh.

You need neat little cuttings. Take off most of the top - just leave a 
couple of leaves - and make a nice clean angled cut on the bottom of the 
stem. Dip this bit in the rooting powder and push it into the soil, which 
should be moist. Keep it warm and damp and you should have nice healthy 
roots in no time.

Did you manage to get the melissa home, or did they confiscate it at 
customs?

I couldn't take it on the plane. Orly and I were already in the spot light
because of his pony tail, foreign good looks and guitar over shoulder.
btw-No stainless steel frets-tell Steve. My Citron Melissa is now growing in
a garden up at Tallentire.
Sorry about that Ally. Next time we may have the van with us and can work
something out then.

I was wondering how you'd manage. You do realise, don't you, that melissa is 
like a weed here in our garden? That poor little garden in Tallentire will 
be overgrown with the stuff by this time next year, and the owners will 
never know how it got seeded there, especially if they try to dig it out and 
find big strong roots! Heh heh....

I'll bring some with me when I come to see you.

Doesn't Steve have a pony tale too? You won't get by customs. He'll get the
rubber glove :)))) especially if he brings his sax over. Funny enough

Didn't know what blemish meant. Had to look it up in the dictionary. Yep, 
you're right. Fine upstanding, moral citizens we are. The only blemish on my 
character is that I occasionally spend some time with our drummist.

It was actually an electric piano and a sequence from Wakeman's 'White 
Rock'!! The synth was flight-cased else you might have got some ELP. But, 
yeah.... I'm brill - thanks to Kathy Kirby's mother and her infinite wisdom 
in the detection and nurture of a future major talent... ;)

Not my fault you've never been to any of our gigs or festivals... Mid you, I 
ain't never been to none o' yourn....!! Played dozens of clubs over your 
way. Probably played almost every town in Cumbria over the last 30-odd 
years, and at dozens of rock/blues festivals. Any one of these ring any 
bells: 'The Boyfriend', 'Mr. Loon' (T-Rex covers band), 'Martini-Cognac', 
'Child' (depped on backing vocals and second guitar, UK promo-tour in 
1977-ish), 'Prisoner', 'Route 66', 'Matchbox' (depped on keyboards on a NW 
and Cumbria tour 1983-ish), 'Sapphire', 'Alan Webster Band' (depped on lead 
guitar, NW England tour, 1985-ish), 'Silent Echo', 'Martanna', 'Loose Ends', 
'The Jewels', 'Pip', 'Eyes Wide Open', 'Batteries Not Included', '5XL', 
'Bitter End Caf', 'Electric Dreams', 'Mojo Rising', 'Bad Influence', 
'Jekyll and Hyde' (depped on keyboards, N.Ireland/N.England tour 1994-ish), 
'Gobstopper', 'Can', and now 'Retro' (keyboard/synth instrumental classics) 
and 'My Girlz' with my girls....

Doubt we'll ever get the band over again. They find Cumbria too expensive.
It would have to be a well payed job and we would have to have each our

I've only been in Cumbria 9 years. If they didn't play in Edinburgh I'm 
unlikely to know them.

You could always arrange a gig up here for a current band, of course. I know 
someone who might be persuaded to sit in on sax or bass...

Sorry sweetheart, we already have sax and bass but are desperate for trumpet 
and or trombone as we want to stretch to live brass instead of samplers if 
you can swing that way! Furness-based would be best, though, as we're 
centred around the Barrow area. Then again, what the hell. If we're over 
your way we'll do something. We often have guest muso's doing a spot anyway, 
though generally they are singists or axemen, and we carry a couple of 
tambourines for the 'non-musical but enthusiastic'.

Laters,

Sounds like you should be performing in the keswick convention tent. It's on
another week, ends this weekend-thankgawd. if you hurry you might just make
it. Take it easy when you cross the bridge.

Yeah, Steve's band could do with some live brass players as well. All the 
brass players around here seem to get sucked in by the local brass bands, 
never to be seen again....

Not very appropriate. Maybe a jingle from an Hawaiian Tropic

My dad used to sing 'I've never seen a straight banana' - don't know how far 
back that one goes.

Then there's that famous Israeli song: "Hava banana, hava banana, hava

Eat out? In West Cumbria? Oh, right, he'll be happy with fish suppers, 
kebabs and watered-down Chinese takeaways, yes? We are fortunate enough to 
be at least 8 miles from the nearest MS and I suspect the nearest 
branch of StkS is in Kendal or even further. I think he might weigh up 
his options and end up sharing my nice wholesome veggie stir-fries after a 
day or two on that fare... or maybe not... he is a teenager, isn't he?

He dislikes fish, but he would probably eat deep-fried battered 
fish if you had enough ketchup handy. He likes salads actually. 
And tea. He's wierd for a NA teen. I think he might be afraid of 
dogs too.

That's too close for comfort. A bit like Al's experience and the kiddies had
just been playing outside.

Edith aint seen a wild bear yet, thank the good lord. There's a picture of a
hunter and a dead bear on the front page of one of the news papers here
today. He has his head bandaged and blood and stuff. He had been bitten.
I'll read more about it later.

They were quite a way down the road from where we stopped to let 
them go by. Not dangerous at all.

I saw a show about cougars on the west coast. They say your best 
chance is to fight back. But they'll make a mess of you before 
they give up.

The man who shot the bear, shot it from a distance of 20 meters. It ran
toward him. He tried to get off another shot at 15 meters but his shot gun
stuck. He'll live. What it doesn't say in the news paper yet is why he
wanted to shoot a bear. He is a bear hunter and has been brought to court
for shooting another bear sometime ago but was let free because the judge
found that it was in self defence. If he wasn't enforced to kill a bear why
the 'elp was he out hunting. I must know.

Edith scared stiff of Pumas who, they say, don't attack if there two
people-eh eh wouldn't take the chance.

Cougars? They're like huge big fierce cat things, aren't they? They want us 
to *fight* them? Are they mad? How do you fight something like that? It's 
equipped with a set of claws like knives, and teeth to die for, and they 
want us to fight it?

Well like all mammals they have sensitive bits, genitals, eyes, ears 
etc. Remember you aren't fighting with Queensbury rules, it's kill or 
be killed...


> Sheez, I'm staying this side of the pond.


Aye, there are no wild animals in the UK that think of humans as prey. 
A few will have a go if they have to but they are fairly small 
creatures. A handfull with venom but I don't think any of those are 
particulary life threating to an adult.

Actually, cougars are very large cat-things that live all up and 
down the western side of NA. They are very smart and don't like 
to attack people (they will naturally co-exist if they can) but 
will if cornered or extremely hungry and confused. The problem 
of cougars attacking seems to be limited to be when there's a 
bad season for food or human development encroaches on their 
territory. Wolves love to eat them. That's another problem they 
face. The Americans have been reintroducing wolves into places 
like Yellowstone and the cougars are under attack.

Much better. The bear lumbered and sauntered in sequence, rather than 
concurrently. Saunter suggests the sort of brisk and light  stepping, 
whilst lumbering is a different, heavy and awkward movement.

There were some folk from the New York City suburbs camping a few 
hundred miles upstate a couple of years ago, whose baby was taken and 
mauled by bears. They are a present and real danger in some parts. In 
New Jersey they have taken the protection order off some of the bears, 
because they're back to former numbers.

As soon as a bear gets the taste of meat it should be taken out.

A lumbering bear sauntered, in perfect sequence
Then turned to it young'n says, use common sense
Hurry your backside over the road
And don't go lumbering in sauntering mode.

we have them here to the east in the Big Thicket NP and out west.  I saw a
dead one down near the border.  Its paws were bigger than my hand.

I *have* heard stories though, that koalas aren't quite as cute and cuddly 
as their PR men would have it. Can our Man On The Spot confirm this?

Well, my tastes are, hopefully, more sophisticated nowadays, but as 
teenagers if we got chips somewhere other than a proper chip shop (i.e., no 
*proper* brown sauce available) we'd dollop on the salad cream instead. It 
was fab. (Note use of colloquialism common amongst young people in those 
days.)

I agree with the lemon on fish, but butter is terribly bad for you (although 
nothing tastes better). A wee smidgeon of extra virgin olive oil would be 
safer, I suspect.

But chips require Edinburgh-chip-shop brown sauce. Secret recipe. Can't buy 
it in supermarkets. Yumm....

That's strange. My dogs didn't try to bite her either. Does she smell funny,

The Belgians, who make the best "French Fries" (not big wobbly British 
Chips) in the world, like to eat mayonnaise with them. It's very nice, 
but it's a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the coronary artery.

Nice, though, to hear of something else the Belgians can be proud of, as 
there are few. Let's see: Herg's Adventures of TinTin; Adoph Sax and his 
saxophones; chocolate; and now, French Fries. Anything else?

Erica, my better half, was a Lancashire lass before I married her and 
carried her off to Rutland. She likes chips with gravy!. II can't imagine 
anything worse than chips with gravy. Is this a Cumnbrian 'delicacy' as 
well?

I haven't deliberately set out to eat chips with gravy, and it sounds 
horrible but when you have chips on the side of the plate, with a nice 
steak pie, and the gravy oozes under the chips, and the rich, smooth, 
meaty flavour of the gravy soaks through the crisp, deep-fried coating 
of the potato a bit of chemistry happens, and it's rather nice.

Yeah, in the days when I didn't know any better, and I'd eat anything, I did 
enjoy chips with (onion) gravy from time to time. I actually preferred soggy 
chips at one point in my misspent youth - if they started off nice and soggy 
from being cooked in fat (not oil) that wasn't hot enough, you could then 
make them even soggier by pouring gravy over them.

I suspect all this was a teenage reaction on my part to the rather good and 
wholesome diet my parents had fed me as a child. Fortunately I grew up 
(well, at least as far as healthy eating is concerned....).

I'm with you on the vinegar and salt - epsecially pickled onion vinegar.
 No, Erica didn't work in cotton. but her father's family came from th e 
Manchester area and many of them worked in the silk industry, a generation 
or so ago.
Erica was actually born in lincolnshire, as was I.

Hm! Onion gravy! Now maybe that would make the dish just edible. I can 
understand the pie and chips reference but actually pouring gravy over chips 
does seem a bit disgusting. I like my chips crispy. Gravy would make them 
too soggy.

Beware French-Canadian cuisine. Poutine, incredibly popular in

No, that's "sh*t". My best friend in Houston, who is married to a boy

 My ancient (Schoolboy) Cassells french dcitionary translates merde as dung,

I'll bite.  Cajun cuisine is definitely superior, at least they use hot
spices in the sauce to disguise the fact you're being fed vermin and
innards.

I ate something resembling last night, Al. 3 cornered crisp thingies with a
spicy flavour, dried up minced meat and a thick lair of garlic sauce and
salsa sauce on top to disguise the quality of the meat. 7 a plate.

Discretely : Fido. Fido. Fido! Come eat this crap.

Well that's a disgrace. If I like the look of the place I may move to Norway

I do eat fish, though. Surely there's more than enough fish in Norway?

Splutter! You have to know what kind of fish you want first, which is, eg
Torsk = Cod, fillay = fillet, then you get your tape measure out of your
patent leather hand bag and measure how long a bit you wish to buy. Or you
could say :-
"En shilo torsk fillay takk." Now weren't that easy, hey?

Edith, who always just pointed and measured in the air - so much please.

Excellent. That's the best way to shop in a foreign land, isn't it? Just 
point at the thing you want to buy and hope they don't overcharge you *too* 
much...

Yes, Ally, just as long has you put your fingers up in a correct manner when
buying two and seeing as everything is already over charged here, the 'shop
people' don't bother.

Did you know that you can drink a different Belgian beer every day and not
repeat the experience for over a year.
If I were Belgian, I would be VERY proud of that.
