Subject: BS: Breton Cap a bit down From: Dave Earl Date: 01 Apr 07 - 10:52 AM Well it looks like herself and myself are at the trial separation time. Still in the same house but different rooms and all that sort of baggage. Don't know what is going to happen in the long term but things don't look too promising at the moment. Don't expect any of my mates around here to be able to solve the problems but needed to tell someone. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: Breton Cap a bit down at the moment. From: Dave Earl Date: 01 Apr 07 - 11:10 AM Thanks Kathy, I really could use a few days away from it all but need I need to stay working. I need the money. E and I are still going to go to the festivals for the rest of this year and are actually going over to spend a few days with Gervase and Mary Jane over on the far side of Wales after Easter and seeing Hils and some other Miskin in exile people over the Bank Holiday. See you at Sidders if not before. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: Breton Cap a bit down at the moment. From: Richard Bridge Date: 01 Apr 07 - 11:53 AM Very sorry to hear it. If you need a spare bed at any of the festivals I am at, there are two bunks in my caravan (see, Vanwatch is good for something) and one is most likely to be empty. |

Subject: RE: BS: Breton Cap a bit down at the moment. From: Dave Earl Date: 01 Apr 07 - 12:02 PM Kath that would have been a lovely idea but..... I've not got enough Hol leave left to take anymore time off work in May. As you may know I work for Brighton Festival and Dome and the festival runs from May 5th to 27th. I've already booked a few days over the second May Bank holiday for the Chippenham Festival. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: Breton Cap a bit down at the moment. From: Dave Earl Date: 01 Apr 07 - 12:32 PM Thanks Jacqui, I have seen Mudcat open up to other people in the past (no need to name them ). I just needed to clear my head by speaking to people rather more remote from the situation and, as I was hoping, positive thoughts seem to be out there. Dave |

Subject: RE: BS: Breton Cap a bit down at the moment. From: JennyO Date: 01 Apr 07 - 12:44 PM A little bit of Les Barker can't be a bad thing... I Don't Like My Boomerang - Les Barker I don't like my boomerang. I know what you're going to say: If you hate your boomerang so much Why don't you throw it away? That's all very well in theory. It may seem that simple to you. Why don't you throw your boomerang away? 'Cos I threw it away yesterday too. There are times when life is not easy. There are days when the future looks black. There are days when you throw your boomerang away. There are days when your boomerang comes back. I believe in predestination; My boomerang's future is clear. On the days that I throw my boomerang away It's predestination's back here. There are times it gets me down; Perhaps I shouldn't let it. What I can't understand is this: How did I ever get it? Sometimes, when in the front garden I throw it, then hurry in doors. Within half an hour, there's a ring on the bell And a little boy says: "Is this yours?" Once I got really angry. I taped some dynamite to it, And without really thinking things through, I lit the fuse and I threw it. With hindsight, this was an error. We learn lessons from life; I was taught it Is better to think before throwing your boomerang. Never think after you've caught it. I've resorted to desperate measures; Sometimes when I throw the stick, I try to move house before it comes back But you can't get a mortgage that quick. I had a Jack Russell terrier once; I used to call him Jack. I used to throw my boomerang for him. The stick used to bring the dog back. I've seen the sticker in car windows; It gets me right here, like a knife: A boomerang's not just for Christmas; A boomerang is for life. |

Subject: RE: BS: Breton Cap a bit down at the moment. From: JennyO Date: 01 Apr 07 - 01:02 PM Oh yeah! I know that one just about off by heart! *sings* Muh boomerang won't come back, Muh boomerang won't come back I've waved the thing all over the place, Practised till I was black in the face. Ah'm a big disgrace to the aborigine race, Muh boomerang won't come back.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Breton Cap a bit down at the moment. From: mg Date: 01 Apr 07 - 02:25 PM Bad news... If it is truly over do you have to stay in the same house? Are there children? Legal rights perhaps to the house if one moves out? Barring serious other considerations, it would probably be easier for both of you to physically separate..it would be too painful for one party and probably too annoying for the other to be in close quarters under those circumstances. mg |

Love to both of you (which I am sure you pass on the other half) and hope to see you at Chippenham. If you should need a bed while you are there you may have the use of my house (fairly local to Chippenham) or the spare bunk in my 'van. Many thanks to you for the kind messages you sent while I was "under the knife". Colyn. |
