Barriminge Rank: Jasper	Premonition 23 replied on: 7/29/2005 8:38:48 AM quote: My mistake. This should, of course, have gone on the Mitton thread - home of all things spooky and coincidental. Charlie has said that you should hang out at all night kebab houses. There is a black guy at the one on Smallbrook Queensway who says 'ca va'to Charlie and keeps collaring him for a lidful of voddie.One night the week before last he suddenly and unexpectedly picked on a Somalian who he accused of insulting his religion. He says that he was born in Paris but moved to Norway.Uncertainty reigns......
Russ-L Rank: Jasper	titletitletitletitle replied on: 7/30/2005 5:58:38 PM I like the fact that the Google adverts at the top of the first page are now about cherish number plates (or they are on my computer, anyway). I that a co-incidence, too?
Gravy Hole Rank: Oddie	Abject Subjects replied on: 8/1/2005 2:36:50 PM quote: quote: I was being dry for comic effect. And failing miserably, rather like Cannon and Ball. I know. I just wanted an excuse to mention Cannon & Ball. Which also affords a marvellous opportunity to mention some other favourite double acts: Milligan and Nesbitt Peters and Lee The Chuckle Brothers I'm not sure if any of the above have turned to Christ, just like C&B did after their hilarious fraud trial, but the common theme running through here seems to be the mental illness of their fans. BTW, is it just me or do the slightly sinister Chuckle Bros look like how you imagine kiddy fiddlers? They always look rather uncomfortable on screen, as if there's a hidden agenda or is it that they're running away from some terrible as-yet-undiscovered crime committed in their past? I, for one, won't be going to see them in panto.
rotunda pants villa, but nice with it Rank: Ozzy	Abject Subjects replied on: 8/1/2005 3:07:25 PM I heard a rumour that the older-looking Chuckle, Barry, is actually Paul's dad and NOT his brother. Don't know if it's true but it would be great if it was, wouldn't it?
Russ-L Rank: Jasper	~ replied on: 8/1/2005 4:06:03 PM It would, indeed it would. Were there only actually two of The Krankies? Or have I become once more confused? (Little And Large)
rotunda pants villa, but nice with it Rank: Ozzy	~ replied on: 8/1/2005 7:04:57 PM There were only one and a half Krankies. Unless they've had kids. Which is a disturbing thought.
Russ-L Rank: Jasper	Subjectively speaking... replied on: 8/1/2005 7:39:31 PM That disappoints me. We were building up towards another top-notch co-incidence, there (fancy all these double-acts having two members, eh?), but alas.

We were building up towards another top-notch co-incidence, there (fancy all these double-acts having two members, eh?), but alas. I'm afraid Gravy hole has been checkmated again, Russ baby. The following is from 'Landor's Tower': "This double act had been on the road for years...... 3a.m. in a motorway service station is where you'll find them. Mutton and Humpp were the Equal Opportunities version of music hall undercards who almost made it into television. Egg and chips from a plastic plate. Drained faces. Driving back from a gig in Swansea, a one night stand at Butlin's, Minehead; a personal appearance at the Jersey Beach Hotel, Aberavon, or The Talk of the Town, Splott. They all washed up here, the double acts. A wannabe Little and Large, Mike and Bernie Winters ghosting as themselves.Spectres of the night with their too- bright overcoats and chip shop skins: layers of blue eyeliner, the juice squeezed out.Mutton an Humpp were of this company. Dryfield and Siverfish too. Infesting the M-numbers, partnerships of disgruntled straightmen.Dependent rivals. Asexual, quarrelling lovers. On their way to the bridge. To Aust. Neutral territory between worlds." (P'.107) You'll find, Russ that this is the 23rd reply to this thread. Matey's computer is playing up again and if that had not been so this would never have happened.I started to type it at 3.00 a.m. Not intentionally either. All this can be proved. The above passage demonstrates that the duality thesis is there all the time covertly in Sinclair's work. Like electricity. positive and negative charges produce the action. Incidentally the 'Aust' connection begets another association. Bob Dylan was photographed at Aust c.67/68 at about the time of 'Blonde on Blonde'.The ghost of electricity......
Russ-L Rank: Jasper	Is any of this subjective, though? replied on: 8/2/2005 6:10:27 AM I've learned a lot. Well, no. I've learned that 'checkmate' is apparently now a verb. That's something, though.
Gravy Hole Rank: Oddie	Is any of this subjective, though? replied on: 8/2/2005 9:25:43 AM Barri, you fell for my opening gambit, King's porn to Bishop's Queen; it's you who's "checkmated". For where does Sinclair mention Milligan and Nesbitt? Eh? tell me that? Grudgingly though, I admit it was a very clever move on your part. This is getting to the point where anything that isn't a co-incidence would be a complete co-incidence. My brother who lives in Mitton country is having a new dog. Got any idea's for a name? I thought Darren sounded good but maybe Sinclair could provide some guidance?
Russ-L Rank: Jasper	Is any of this subjective, though? replied on: 8/2/2005 3:45:03 PM Why do I get the feeling it's going to be a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel?

I thought Darren sounded good but maybe Sinclair could provide some guidance? That's a coincidence, Charlie has been telling me that his London girlfriend, Sharon in Pimlico, has got it in her head that she is going to get a dog from Battersea Dogs Home. He telephoned her the other night to warn her of the demands on your time and money that dogs make.She was with him some years ago when he met Sinclair for the first time at the Institute for Contemperary Arts where he was on a panel with Stuart Home.The theme of the discussion was, 'What's the opposite of a dog?. Of course Norman Scott's dog Rinka features in Landor's Tower' in an interplay of identity with Bad News Mutton and it appears that one of them has to be the fall guy.So how about Rinka for female and Mutton for male.Or then there's the dog that one might associate with Thoth. That is Anubis from ancient Egyptian mythology.Or then there's the Dog Star Orion that everyone speaks of.
Russ-L Rank: Jasper	Sub...versive pet naming replied on: 8/3/2005 6:26:03 AM Call it Felix. And get a cat called Rover. Watch the faces of bystanders slowly melt to a mask of horror when they figure out what you've done.
Gravy Hole Rank: Oddie	Sub...versive pet naming replied on: 8/3/2005 12:01:48 PM I like the cat/dog role reversal idea, but question whether we should be imposing roles on our pets at such a young age? Mutton it is then. He'll go down well in The Mitton Arms, where he is destined to spend a goodly part of his life.
Gravy Hole Rank: Oddie This message was updated on 8/3/2005 3:17:46 PM by Gravy Hole	Sub...versive pet naming replied on: 8/3/2005 12:34:20 PM All this talk of dogs and Jeremy Thorpe rang a distant bell and I remembered Ivor Biggun and the Red Nosed Burglars released a song at the time called Jeremy's innocent woof woof bang. I was amazed to find Ivor (he of the winkers song, c.1979) is still working (somehow) and apparently working with Wee Willie Harris, a man who inspired Lord Sutch: "Doc Cox, a fading ex-television personality, and constant companion of Mr Biggun for many years, has been in the studio with Wee Willie Harris. Ian Dury fans will recall the lyric of "Reasons To Be Cheerful" where Wee Willie is mentioned as one of the reasons! Willie (real name Charlie) was the first "wild man of British Rock'n'roll" pre-dating his friend Screaming Lord Sutch by about three years. His UK versions of "I Go Ape" and the rockabilly "No Chemise Please" were cut for Decca in the mid-50's, along with "Rocking At The Two I's" a celebration of the famous Soho Coffee Bar. Never having a top-ten hit in Britain (like Sutch!) he had great success in Holland, Germany and Israel. However, he was a fixture on the legendary "6-5 Special" TV show and renowned as the most extravagant and uninhibited showman on the live music scene. At the Liverpool Empire in 1958, a young Paul McCartney queued for his autograph. Jimmy Page played on his sessions, and Johnny Kidd and the Pirates followed him from gig to gig, memorizing his wild stage antics which they would later use as their own. Now in his sixties, Wee Willie Harris no longer has his pink hair (although he's kept quite a thatch) but still does cabaret and stage shows. Doc Cox met up with him through the late Screaming Lord Sutch, when he played with both of them at what was to be Sutch's last ever gig." Is my mind playing tricks or is there not some connection between Sutch and Mitton?
