Just received written confirmation from Josie Webb, chairman of Brigg Amateur Social Historians, that I'll be guest speaker at the group's meeting on Tuesday, November 2 - the subject this time being The History of the Scunthorpe Telegraph. Venue is Brigg Servicemen's Club (8pm). Free admission - all welcome. Make a diary note now, folks!
Thanks, Josie, I'll be looking forward to that. Hope your audience think likewise!
Still, the recent talk to BASH on the History of the Lincolnshire Times seemed to go down OK.
If you are a member of a group needing a speaker, just let me know. Tel 01652 655134, leave a message on the answer-machine I'll get back to you, email scoopfisher@aol.com or put a post on this Brigg Blog entry.
He's missing again!
ReplyDeleteHasn't been heard from since last Friday.
The last time Nige went missing like this, he came back in a manic state reporting on the new Sergeants brew.
Could he have found a new source of this beer? That could explain the present situation....but why hasn't he told the rest of us about it?
....now Monday! AWOL for 2 and half days!
ReplyDeleteMust be strong stuff!!!
Oh, well, since Nige is musing himself somewhere else.....I'll occupy folks by offering an answer to the Blog/Comments of the 3 Feb.
ReplyDeleteReference the various '.OUGH' sounds, here's a little ditty to amuse you....
I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough?
Others may stumble but not you
On hiccough, thorough, slough and through.
Well done! And now you wish perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps?
Sorry...the Blog 'Sign of the Times' was 2 Feb...the comment was 3 Feb.
ReplyDeleteEveryone makes mistakes....I'm only nearly pirficked!!
