Look deep into my eyes Cress, and find yourself growing sleeeepy, sleeepy, and say
'I am me, I have always been me and will always be me. I will give half my earnings to Mari....'
Love the lashing bow string in pic 3rd from top
Somebody remind me please. Is Lilith ,the Keeper having an out of body experience? I forget . Also if we're back to *wooshy door noise does that mean I have access to holodeck again? (*hopes so). Will we have time for a fabulous adventure with stupendous special effects before I attempt to stick to my New Year resolution? Will keeper/lilith finaly reveal identity? Will we get episode 3? Answers to all these and many other questions can be found written on a piece of paper over there near the kettle.
Careful , it's hot. Just had a cuppa
:0)
Out of body experience? I don't think so? Although I wouldn't mind one right now as excess xmas drinking has certainly taken it's toll. Ah yes your New Year's resolution. Good luck with that. How many days of deprivation are you aiming for? Episode 3 quite possibly (if I can remember where I stowed the boxes), identity probably not (owing to the fact that I can't understand why anyone would be remotely interested anyway), and don't tell me you've lost the knob! That was a present! Do you know I nearly forgot!...
HAPPY CHRISTMAS RANGER X
We might need new names. In fact that may be my resolution - to pick an absolutely fantabulous name that I won't need to change again! Did you have a good christmas? Oh the horror of writing a proper sensible question!
Do Rangers celebrate Christmas? Perhaps they tuck a bit of green tinsel in the neck hole of their jumper or something?
OOoooooo new names *claps hands with glee
Build up to christmas hampered by back problem but that was sorted by discovering the curative properties of 3 pints of guinness. Back became much more bendy after that. Abit of tinsel can go a along way to capturing the essence of xmas I feel. Bless their little green jumpers. Was`xmas good for you, ??
*whooshy door noise
I quite agree, tinsel is not just for Christmas ,it's for whenever you jolly well feel like it.
*decides to try and give up damp tshirt vid for new year resolution. may regret it.
*whooshy door noise
*whooshy door noise
sorry for time lapse, am ironing so pop back between tshirts and things to check here.
*whooshy door noise.
*whooshy door noise
*thinks about starting a 'tinsel is not just for christmas' campaign
I have a time lapse too it would seem - but that's due to my brain and not anything exciting like ironing.
*wonders if it's actually possible for bab's to give up sweaty t shirt vid
*wonders what the next one will be as there's been too big a gap between releases for my liking
*whooshy door noise
*will not be able to give up steamy tshirt thing if honest.
hmmmm, ponders for moment about new single. then gets bored and irons something.
ponders what vid for new ,but as yet unknown , single and accidently burns hole in tshirt daydreaming about likelyhood of wetness being involved.
*gives self hard slap.
*again
*wonders who Ben married
*feels slightly hurt that we were not all invited to throw petals/rice/small animals/knobs/cliff richard
*wonders when new album will be out and hopes it isn't too long
My brain hurts now. No more wondering for at least five minutes. Do you have a tasteful xmas jumper with snowmen/reindeer/xmas tree's/glitter on it? I couldn't find one anywhere but they were worn in abundance down the folk club at the weekend and now I'm jealous.
*sniggers, as haven't done it for ages either.
*doesn't feel in the slightest bit bothered about not lobbing stuff at Ben and his missus.
*wonders if at this very moment Seth is busily scribbling down lyrics for next much awaited album and if not why not.
*wishes had got tasteful sparkly jumper. Huzzah, new years resolution is to seek out and buy such an item in readiness for next christmas and visits to folk clubs in general
*relieved that moist tshirt vid remains on list of things not to give up in 2007. Result.
*thinks that however fast he is writing... it should be faster
*wonders why anyone would pass up the opportunity to throw foodstuffs in the general direction of ben
*makes mental note to obtain said xmas jumper also and embarrass boyfriend type personage with it
*decides can't give anything up for new years so starts to think of things to take up instead
*decides if ever see's another brussel sprout will go on killing spree
*sniggers for no apparent reason
No lifting required. I'm quite prepared to hurl!
Well I think we had left the whole haunted house scenario and were trying to think of what to do to pass the time next. Then I got called to family emergency thingy (not nice at xmas). Then I came back, found it had all gone a bit bizarre and here we are!
I don't recall this keeness to launch your body in the direction of the bard of the moor before.
*maybe the season of goodwill has mellowed Lilith somewhat.
It did go odd for a while but then it is difficult to sort odd from normal at the best of times, It was quite exciting at one point when lots of people with little symbols next to their names appeared like the cavalry ,.
Sorry to hear about your emergency and hope all is well now.
So , another adventure beckons, but what and where.???
*wonders.
Well yes but then I think it may have been just a tiny bit obvious that my lack of enthusiasm was just for show. Why else would I be here (all the time), go to far too many gigs to be healthy, and know every song ever done (the fact that I may need professional help aside). Has the ranger been by in my absence?
Yes thankyou drama all sorted.
I'm thinking something fantastical and way over the top with spiffy outfits and bursts of sing song.
Oh. Well remind me in the new year and perhaps he can be lured out with comments about his backside again *sniggers
Far too many gigs will also raise suspicion in certain male peoples and then they may want to come along. Am thinking 'yes dear of course I'm dribbling over you and I am in no way looking at the stage' would not go down too well!
It must definitely include healthy bursts of singsong... and maybe the odd jelly shoe.
*had forgotten all about cute bum. Looks forward to 2007.
4 gigs this year and a certain person sitting not amillion miles away thinks that's 3 too many:0) I have explained that it's all about the music really,(with fingers crossed behind back) but to no avail.
*sighs
:0)
there's always an odd jelly shoe on every beach I've ever walked on.
Yeh i had a great time...and surprisingly i was on the alcohol in a big way too. Xmas is a time for bad behaviour and underage drinking!!
Babs...i havnt gt any gigs planned for next year at all...none of them are around my area!! I think i may have to get the train down to some of the festivals!
You don't live next door to me obviously or you would know who I am. Oh no, choose which ever name you want to it doesn't have to Lewis Carroll related. I have a few little cakes and some mushrooms and abottle of something to drink so at least we have provisions.
"special cakes, quite possibly goes for the mushrooms too and not to sure about what's in bottle but willing to give it a go.
Take numbers too , will come in handy when out and about.Or wherever we happen to be. Maybe could phone ahead to ranger for supplies although track record when on high seas adventure not too good.
I wouldn't change it drastically or we'll lose all track of who's who! You could knock the e off and be the whit hare. That way I can say your name freely too :-)
Would you like a small suspicious looking cake? Does wondrous things to your pupils. I say Alice these are pretty good!
*Hops back into view again* ....Alice..H...i got lost in the mire and couldnt get out!!! It had me stuck there until 7.15 and then i had to go out to a party....hares like to party hard!! lol....came home at 12.30 after a cider, a cocktail, and 3 bacardi's and then hopped back into my warren...
Nope- was awful. Had to endure rugrats and my mother wittering on about soft furnishings. Have been forced to come home to recuperate.
I hear a rumour the Ranger has been drunk for 4 days so no doubt he had a fun Christmas!!
Hmmm....new names.....will ponder upon it.
Oh no? Really? King & Country? :-(
Oooh I HATE those bulletins. If I cared I'd go and look wouldn't I. I don't need bloody reminders and invitations.
We will all have the hats. It's a 'thing'. I've seen many activists in them. Do you think it's possible to hand cuff ourselves to the blog? In case they try to forcably remove us?!
Well there are several things that could be done...
1-release catchy tunes that will get more airplay on commercial shows
2-advertise more
3-get fiddling - it's what he COULD get known for.
4- find a new name for his music. Most people just tell you to eff off if you say the word 'folk'
But let's not kid ourselves that they would actually listen to us. We're just the one's who have heard of him and buy the albums :-)
and obviously we know nothing;0)
I hate labels on music, music is music is music for f***s sake. It is the fiddling does it for me and the dear little guitar, well the whole sound actually, oh dear, we got serious , was it something we ate do ya suppose or is an undetectable mind changing gas being pumped into the moblog by "them".
Of course we know nothing!
Labels are bad but unfortunately a lot of people go by them and will not be found browsing the 'folk' section in HMV! I personally think it should have been in the normal bit as well. Oh well.
Mind changing gas won't affect people with no mind's. We're safe for now. I wonder what happened to the Ranger. I hope he hasn't ruined his chaps over the festive period...
Just had a quick browse on the old myspace. What is with the other seth profile???!! Very odd. Got the distinct impression whoever set it up does not like him much.
*gets big eyes and hides in corner as usually gets blame
*realises profile was made before even heard of him and comes back out
Yeah search Seth Lakeman in the searchy bit and it'll bring up 3. There's the proper one, a blank one, and the slightly dodgy one. Most odd. Listen to the songs that've been put on too. Two of them aren't even his though they've said they are. It's really weird!
*wonders too. Hopes was bumless chaps and not bizarre eye holes
Oh I love it. Grown men dressed in school uniforms and dresses, people getting really excited for no particular reason, and paying far too much to get into places that usually have free entry all adds to the spirit of things. Plus of course the obligatory rousing chorus of Auld Lang Syne... can't wait :-)
The more I ponder and I do, quite a lot, the more I think King and Country is a brilliant choice. *hopes they get the vid right.
*ponders on the impact of Greenday's Wait Until September Ends. Like I said above, the lyrics are timeless, sadly.
Oh dear, getting serious again, hurry back H , I need you.:0)
Yes I had a few wobbly moments courtesy of all the champagne we had!
Oh well. I watched 'Clash of the Titans' yesterday. So funny. Definitely 'Tim in a Toga' lol. When he said 'I am prince and heir to Argos' I nearly fell off the sofa laughing. Got a few funny looks but hey.
Watched Ice Age 2 for first time ,how great is that film, way better than the first. I am on and off a bit as am engaged insearch for daughter's missing Mcfly cd,(xmas gift from mate) , may have to enter and search bedroom through mountain of.discarded clothing. On a happier note *catches breath
I may yet get to Stoke to see the fiddler in action in Feb
*hopes so ;0)
In early planning stage with Emma.
Oh probably! And he probably revels in it as well.
Yes a cunning plan is called for! I must start plotting - there isn't much time!
*runs round and round in panicky circle, flapping arms and pulling 'anguished face'
*stops running
Do you know I met a lady at a New Years party who knew Seth as a little boy!
*continues to run
Oooh yes I should say! I think maybe if planned a little better all said incriminating/embarrassing pictures could be hidden away in readiness of fame type thing. Although that may be a little presumptuous.
You really think that's the BIGGEST disadvantage?! We must try harder!!!!!!
*sniggers
Of being the biggest disadvantage of fame of course :-)
Unfortunately we come with the territory.
*makes wild arm movements towards ceiling because they look theatrical
*continues to draw magical symbols (cartoon characters)
Should I draw the God of Hair? Would that be appropriate? I've already got the Spirit of the wondrous tassely chaps and the God of Gordons.
Who're after the crisps? The Borrowers or McFly?
Talking of dungarees where exactly is Mr Spade? he didn't run off to start a new life with Derek Acorah did he?! Or even worse with Cliff?!
*finishes bizarre looking pentagram complete with spongebob and dr. zoidberg.
I think it was supposed to be limited but it must be a long term limited thing. Having said that the 'limited edition' sign has gone from the packaging. Yay! Peanut KitKats forever!
Men love the bouncy bouncy.
*drags massive trampolene into centre
*Thinks about renting large house in middle of Dartmoor in the summer and having sing-a-longs
*adds Peanut KitKats to shopping list.
*would help to drag massive trampoline but back just recovered nicely from painfulness.
*thinks what a lovely idea big house/moor/singsong is with addition of big trampoline to add bounciness. Could have competion for best rendition of a song while at extreme bounciness.
Now that is a good idea! Bonus points could be awarded depending on amount of cider held down as well.
Can't wait! Nice long rides on the moor (equine ones before you start!), sing a longs, roaring fires - ooooh it sounds like heaven.
Perhaps the Ranger could be persuaded out for a little trek and a picnic...
All the male characters are kidnapped by amazonian women and sentenced to be snoo snood to death , as Fry says "I never thought I would have to die this way but I'd always kinda hoped."
:0) replace snoo snoo with sh****d and you've about got it :0)
Jim it is then. Shame about the lack of buttness.
For Ranger...
We may be outta touch, but never out of time
(Come back to me boy)
Come back to me boy
(Cowboys and kisses)
Always seem to bring me down
You're like a weight in my pocket
Everytime you come around
Damn those cowboys and kisses
Gotta find myself everytime you go away
X
If you haven't seen the film you won't know that Devil's Tower in Wyoming is where the aliens land, and anyone who knows this creates images of said landmass in whatever medium they can lay their hands on. Maybe he is there now awaiting the arrival of the mother ship. He has probably been playing da da da da da on the ukelele, if you haven't seen the film you won't know how to sing that properly:0)
I have vague recollections of the film. Perhaps I should watch it again :o) Was that the one where people kept building a mountain with their mashed potato?
A mother ship would indicate more of them and I have to say that I think the Ranger is a one off. 'More Rangers' is an idea so terrifyingly scary that I don't even want to consider it!
Perhaps there's a sale on in Chaps R Us?
mashed potato, shoes, coat hangers, sausages, custard, anything they could lay there hands on.
Perhaps there is a sale on. Stocking up for the year no doubt. Carrier bags bulging with tassles and suchlike.Hope we get a little fashion show ,when he gets back with them all.
Oooooooooo found a fab song to sing as I make my way passed the other member of the audience at Stoke(hopefully).It rejoices in the first line "They congregate here on the squid jigging ground"
I'll go with the teacosy hat idea but will wear my wassailing slingbacks instead of sandals.
Nope. He didn't show.
What a wonderful idea. Maybe you and the other member of the audience can get a harmony going during the interlude! You could always disguise your wassailing slingbacks with bits of velcro until you're inside and safely past the 'guards'. Then you can whip off your disguise with much ta da ing.
I am rather unhappy that the vicar of dibley has ended :o(
what about gordon's gulch ?
Oh yes ,we must have a saloon and a piano player and some of those delightful little swing doors that do nothing to keep the weather out. I shall probably run alittle store that sells vittles and bullets and blankets and simple remedies and baccy and the like.
*runs to change into western attire. YYEEEEEE HAAAAA.
Why certainly, we need an alcoholic Doc, a local rancher , a lovable old oldtimer, a handsome strong blacksmith who works topless all the time, a school marm , various townsfolk, a posse that can be summoned ata moments notice to round up local rogues, have I forgotten anyone???
sure hope the ranger moseys this way real soon and makes his first appearance in the saloon so we can do the "piaono player stops playing and everybody looks at the door "type thing. How fabulous would that be, oooooo and in chaps too. He could be the mysterious stranger .
can I be the tavern wench? I have a certificate and personal recommendation from my former employer to confirm my suitability.
I also have some very cute ankle boots. I shan't wear them to Stoke though as it's more of a welly venue than a slingback venue. Wonder if I can get wassailing waders?
*saddles up and rides out of town , avoids stray dog running across street and herd of cattle being brought to railroad. Yes we have one of those fabulous steam trains , Passes stagecoach and heads out along the trail.
Will be back in a couple of hours or so , yee haaa dang me y'all.
*wonders how many reasons there are for peeping through a window.
*starts humming Look outside your Window.
*slaps self
*is aware of H hanging on to window ledge and tries not to look up.
can you see anything, any thing we can get a giggle out of.?
*grimaces at thought
*says in very loud voice so it carries over to water trough
Ok tell's you what... how bout we leave the door unlocked tonight in case the poor bugger would like his room for tonight? He has paid after all. I'll leave a hefty wodge of cow pie for him as well.
*pricks up ears at she bang reference.
I was just going to have a furtle round so it's tidy for the next visitor ,but won't bather if ranger decides to range/hop back.
Anyway ,the torch picked up so many interesting things it's run out of batteries.
Yes alice-bob what was that all over the bed? I don't remember him bringing any soup up here? I dunno, you try and do the decent thing for some folks and they's just don't want to know! Fancy lining me up in his sight an all! At least he aint figured out where the safety is yet ;o)
*gets couple glasses out as it's time for a drinky poo before the rowdy lot arrive
I have to mosey off to prepare vittles, will return on the morrow,
back to school so most likely in afternoon. All those bright little faces eagerly waiting in the classroom, *shudders :0)
Brightened by prospect of getting tickets to see Wailin' jennys at start of Feb. :0)
for some reason it always makes me think of Sharpe, the tv series and character so handsomly brought to life by one of yorkshires own. Not sure why but it does.
*hopes with all heart to see dance performed one day.
*will probably just sway to it a bit and shuffle feet. and hum along .
*imagines the costumes and brave soldiers etc and has a mini swoon
Hum? Hum? You can't hum! The whole idea is to go and stand next to someone who's never been to one before and sing along so loudly they can't hear. If you can block their view (possibly by sitting on someones shoulders) then so much the better. Providing there is another person there to do it to :o)
No sign of the wizened old bandicoot today then?
*thinks of back to the future,but can't remember which number.
*whip crack aways it down to smithy's, with H-bob. wonders if should've changed into quick release bodice.
*marvels at shape of knob now smithy has worked with his skilled hands on it. Obviously a good pair of bellows helps.
ahem.
oh no, that just a test pouch , this is what we shall be using*drags whole cow hide from under table.
See, sir cliff is threading his needle as we speak
*dashes out of store with blindfold, vittles and tapemeasure for good measure, and heads for them thar hills'
You a comin' H -bob. ?
*wonders whether it's possible to fiddle whilst riding at speed. Takes note that alice-bob had a darn good go earlier but decides not to try. Comes to a halt before a small entrance in the side of the ravine.
Looks like a cave or something alice-bob, and the footprint trail ends here too.
*decides both horses have had enough for one night, what with nearly having their legs blown off and all. Settles for dinner and camp a safe distance from the inconspicuous *rolls eyes* secret hideout. Hope alice-bob can rustle up something tasty with the hepl of Ray Mears
Speaking of which have you seen the adverts for his new programme? Saw it and thought of you :o)
Howdy folks. I've been out riding bare-back in the dusty ol' hills all afternoon. now it might be my imagination but I'm sure I saw a Ranger holed up in a cave way over the other side of the ridge. He was trying to get the dust out of his chaps by beating them with a stick. might have been more successful if he'd taken them off first but there's no telling some people.
*Catches glimpse of mountee's in moonlight (the month of maaaaaaaaaaaaay) and decides maybe not. Thinks maybe scouting the area and setting traps may be more useful.
I shall away alice-bob *tries not to look* and catch you on the morrow. Keep it down a bit you're frightening the horses :o)
*Thinks of 'Lovely Steve' and swoons (again)
can't wait to see if they survive the wet rope ,hanging dangerously above cavern. Bet they do :0)
Have you ever noticed how the fiddling wonder looks to be about 14 on punch bowl inner thing?
Afternoon y'all etc.
How goes the trap laying?
Caught anything yet.?
*
I think if everyone was honest , they all have fabulously dodgy hair pics from the past. I quite like they carefree tousled look as worn by young Tim.
We could have the diddly sqaut for tea and freeze the zilch for another day. Goes well with a slice of f**k all.
Well robo horse is still there so I'm guessing he's still inside. If he'd climbed out one of the windows we'd have heard a scream. I used the special Ray Mears sharp stick traps round there :o)
Let us seek out dances with gerbils any - how! as I love his pipe and he may be able to tell us how! the ranger came into being (feels funny story bubbling up)
Well we can't stand around all day. Perhaps we should go into the secret hideout, see what people actually keep in them, ask the ranger some bizarre questions with much hmm-ing and ah-ing and then get boot scooting so I can watch the heroic Borneo Steve save the day and maybe take his top off again *swoon
*Wonders when switched from punch bowl to kitty jay
*Wonders if he the only person in the world to put the word ladle in a song
*Wonders if Borneo Steve will take top off
You have a light stick?! Wow! I only have this 250 million candle power MagLite :o(
*sticks out tongue at H-bob behind back for smartarsedness.
leaped from punch bowl to kitty jay as is on shuffle;0)
ladle always been in song, it's in me watersons slightly different version anyway;0)
*wonders if borneo steve will take top off too, it's the law after all
*wonders if possible to enforce law of top off.
It's no good sticking your tongue out! The bloody ranger's been zooming about on a robotic horse that carries a big f**k off gun called sarah jane and you want me to go in there 'all authentic' like?! Are you crazy?! Have you got those light sabres handy by the way?
*wonders if H-bob survived whole shirtless Borneo Steve thing last Friday evening on tele or if was so wrapped up in holodeck thingy ,missed it
*sniggers.
*concludes that ,wouldn't mind being stuck in wild, dark place with borneo steve but would feel safer with mears and food finding abilities. A a combination of the two and you've cracked it. :0)
*wonders how life became so desperate as to be commenting on moblog on sunday morning.
*hangs head in shame and shuffles off.
Was just wondering wethe rto arrange cd's in alphabetical order ,or, in order of enjoyableness, or be reckless and mix them up randomly.So,in answer to your question ,no .
Oh . I did think up a way to stop all these fiddler related quetions being thrown at you.
Oh yes, you wear it well, a little old fashioned , but that's ok.
I see he went shopping again , if the mire is anything to go by.;0)
So , are we in wild west mode or have we gone off that now. ?
we seemed to have gone into the world of survival and getting stuck in dark places.
can't watch people stuck in caves on tele , makes me go wobbly, a bit claustrophobic is why.
Is your identity an important part of the bizarre as yet unknown plot or shall we just carry on?
Going on your phrasing my first guess would have to be... Rolf Harris!
*waits excitedly for answer and prays a didgeridoo will come into it somewhere
who?
borneo steve?
I doubt it, he'll be dangling shirtless on a rope somewhere hot and steamy.
*decides to be good tomorrow and not swear. Swears on all 3 copies of white hare to be good.
Am always put in mind of Nestles Milky Bar when playing retro version.
I shall be gone soon but shall return at the usual sort of time.
*wonders if overtime would be inorder for extra hours on mire last evening.:0)
*can guess who is hanging off borneo steve though. In a manner of speaking .
*sniggers
*gives lute master a prod.
should we tell messy (quicker than doing full name)about "voldemort" thing of not mentioning "S"word.????
*wonders
*makes sign of finger, runs in circle ,does cartwheel.
I have performed the "s" ritual so we should be safe for today at least.:0)
I must away.
oh by the way, went to the theatre last night ,saw a play by this new chap,Will something or other.it wasn't Young I don't think.
It was very good.
*feels much safer now 'sign of finger' protection ritual has been deployed
*wonders if is same Will (Joseph Fiennes) type person
*wonders why Molly is so eager for one to give the lute maker mouth to mouth when it is the lute master who is turning blue
*wonders about sanity
*thinks it's time for more action/adventure
Yes I think we should go on an expedition.
*hopes Borneo Steve will be providing the physical stimulation
*thinks maybe should not have said that
*decides to check gear regularly in case that marauding scrawnie the Ranger tampers with my shunt
*checks to see if bluey(outdoory sort of name and easier to type than bluesleeves in an emergency) really did put shunt.
*did.
if borneo steve should cross our path i'm sure a bit of stimulation would be quite in order.
*checks own equipment incase ranger has already tampered .
*Hurrah's Molly through gap
*laughs at Rangers predicament (and the fact that he's a wuss of course)
