brightfield Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 At this moment 10.30 pm Saturday (Queensland Australia time = 12.30 pm GMT) there are 66 members. I note that there are twice as many anglos (or should that be Anglos) as English concertinists. Hey, I really like the photo on Reto's frappr Tom http://www.frappr.com/mamot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Stetson Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Hey, I really like the photo on Reto's frappr Apply fertiliser liberally, and water in well! Oops! Peter. Thanks for the tip Peter. It really works! This is a different variety from those Reto has--no shell. Tell me, when is it safe to harvest? Will it continue to ripen on my widow sill if it's still a little green? Anyone have any anglo seed? Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animaterra Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Yummy, Jum! Here in the frozen northlands all that green looks delectable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Stetson Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Yummy, Jum! Here in the frozen northlands all that green looks delectable! Yes, well around here, climate is not a problem but raccoons, deer, and small children are. To protect my crop I use a lot of concertina wire.

JimLucas Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Yummy, Jum! Here in the frozen northlands all that green looks delectable! It's a limey concertina... to be used only for accompanying sea songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterT Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 We were told that concertina-making was a "cottage industry". Now the truth is out; it's actually a "cottage garden" industry! Harvest early, and you get a miniature, harvest late and it's a big bass, whilst most of us go for an intermediate size. Must give "Uncle Colin" some more Anglo seeds. Regards, Peter.

JimLucas Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 We were told that concertina-making was a "cottage industry". Now the truth is out; it's actually a "cottage garden" industry! Gives a new perspective on the term "hybrid concertina". Has anybody yet tried to apply genetic engineering to them? Oh right, the Anglodeon and the Franglo! What do you get when you cross a Crabb with a Crane? A flying crustacean? A bird that flies sideways? Nope, just some really wonderful duet concertinas.

Geraghty Posted March 5, 2006 Author Share Posted March 5, 2006 I wonder why Morgana (Ptollemy) has a pink symbol rather than a blue one? Because on the day that she (and a canadian member) joined, the key was not working and she couldn't choose a type of instrument. I wrote to them to ask them to re-join (which should overwrite and correct the problem) but she hasn't done it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Harrison Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 ............I think I'm the Canadian who joined today.........seemed to work OK. It's fun..........the only problem I had was that I couldn't find a pic. of myself doing something sophisticated,like playing a concertina. So I posted one of myself in the Good Samaritan, in the East End of London, having a pint of London Pride. That's a little bit sophisticated, isn't it ?

Roger Gawley Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 At this moment 10.30 pm Saturday (Queensland Australia time = 12.30 pm GMT) there are 66 members. I note that there are twice as many anglos (or should that be Anglos) as English concertinists. I note a great gap in Northeast England, the modern heartland of the English concertina. If we all (including me) get stuck in, the pins are going to be pretty dense there.

bellowbelle Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I joined Frappr today, and would be happy to add everyone to my map and all that, but, not only do I have a resistance lately to figuring out new things (websites, electronic gadgets, whatever), but the site moves VERY slowly for me. It's partly my computer....we have dial-up, now (fine with me). But, I think it's also the site, Frappr, since other sites move along a bit more quickly. So....anyway....I'm there, but I don't know how much I'll be able to develop my page there. I get along a bit more quickly at Care2.com, and that has the potential for making a community network and all, though not the nice mapping option. I started a blog there, but, basically I don't care for blogging much so....hmmm. Anyway.....whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Thorne Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 I've just added myself. The closest other player to me is Nick Oliver in Brimingham (UK). Still about 35 miles away, but if you're reading this Nick: 'Hello' Clive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
