Lost Mc Rules Book

[fidjit]

I've been asked to prepare for the 2008 Wheatstone Memorial MC in Febuary and I'm afraid as usual the rule book's gone missing. I just can't place my hand on it. Haven't had my hand on it since Mrs T was here. I think she took it with her when she last visited me back in er ???.

 

However, I should be up and running by Febuary (BUT NOT BEFORE)

Typical......let's just hope that someone didn't mistakenly punch a hole in the corner and use it for purposes other than designed.

 

Still, I guess that if all else fails, we can expect the "Swedish Variation" in this year's game.

 

Maybe to avoid the chaos of the past two years, we should have a list of participating players.....or then maybe not.

 

Good luck in arranging this onerous task.

Well, if there's a list of non-participating players -- or is that participating non-players?, -- I should probably be on it.

[Rod Thompson]

Be warned - I've been doing some on-the-ground preparatory studies under the ground, on a recent visit.

PS. is DLR permitted?

"Listing is only permitted in areas where local byelaws allow" [stovold: op cit pp 300 - 315]

I am much relieved to say that this year that choice is not mine but Chas's to make.

Lots of MC's here in Denmark -- Hell's Angels being the most notorious, -- though I hear that some of them have recently been moving to Skåne. I could check to see if there's a branch of the Wheatstone Memorial MC in the area, and whether they could spare a copy of their rule book.

I think you should join the list of participants, Jim, since you seem well qualified.

[Chris Timson]

Just a suggestion, mes amis, and let's hold our horses until the game starts. After all, it's only 6 more shopping days to February, and we don't want to wear out our welcome on this most noble (and tolerant) forum.

In view of the broadside of dreadful puns that was fired at Dan Worrall's last posting perhaps we might be better qualified to suggest late arrivals at the Concertina.net Ball.

Do I see Mr and Mrs Reece-Anglo and their son Geoff Reece-Anglo?

 

Roger

[Chris Timson]

Oh Lor'! Now you've torn it!

 

Throwing all restraint to the winds, I have to announce the imminent arrival of Cornelius Certinaband, better known to his friends as Con Certinaband.

 

Chris

[Samantha]

Mr and Mrs Gloconcertina and their daughter Ann Gloconcertina ....

[JimLucas]

...late arrivals at the Concertina.net Ball.

 

Do I see Mr and Mrs Reece-Anglo and their son Geoff Reece-Anglo?

And Mrs. Reece's brother, for whom young Geoff was named: Geoffrey Reade.

 

Ah, but what's that commotion at the door?

Oh, it's the arrival of the American-Irish telemarketing magnate, Eddie O'Phone.

 

And who's the latest arrival?

Why it's George Case's great-great grandson, Justin Case.

[Leo]

and hearing the commotion at the door, I lifted the Lach enal the players came in for a good time.

 

Thanks

Bring me the concertina of Alfredo Garcia

[Chris Drinkwater]

Announcing some more late arrivals at the ball: Mr & Mrs Tone-English and their son Barry, followed by Mr & Mrs Wood-Ends and their delightful daughter Rose. Lord & Lady Trabass and their son Con. And lastly, Mrs & Mrs Sharp and their daughter Dee.

And poor Anne Glow, often snubbed because of her humble state, was absolutely G/D over having been invited.

 

Meanwhile, some of the boys who were dragged along by their parents quickly escaped the dance floor and began playing football on the Old Pitch below the house.

[PeterT]

And lastly, Mrs & Mrs Sharp and their daughter Dee.

I thought their daughter was Celia. Doesn't she have a house in London?

[Leo]

Once the group was assembled, the host bellows "time to eat! They were to sit down to a crabb salad served on stoned wheat thins. I guess nobody heard him. Their attention was riveted to the action on the makeshift stage. The cook said don't fret my work. It'll keep. So just to keep harmonium they wait.

 

I'm bushed. I'd better quit while I'm ahead.

 

Thanks

Leo
