So I’ve been listening to last week’s Clare FM Trad Show broadcasts and couldn’t help but giggle a bit each time they spoke about the upcoming “Feakle Festival”. ![]()
Oi, and it’s only Tuesday… 'tis going to be a long week! ![]()

Ugh. I had to sound that out. Well played.
Precisely, seeing it spelled correctly is no biggie but hearing it spoken on the radio fifteen times in a half hour’ll get ya ![]()
I still don’t see what is the matter.

Someone’s on a roll this morning ![]()
Would that be a log roll?
2-ply most likely.
I suppose it’s too late to suggest we keep a lid on it.

Pretty crappy name for a festival, if ya ask me.
Will there be scat singing?
If there is you’ll have to wash your mouth out, young lady. ![]()

From what I understand, there will be a concert of handbell ringing, too. The scat singing happens right after the bells have dung.
I have a good reply but I need a moment first, I need to take the browns to the superbowl.

I’m a Jaguars fan, that comment irritates my superbowel.
This thread is going to pot.
It’s made me flush with embarrassment, already.
Which reminds me of a book–
http://www.amazon.com/Flushed-Pride-Story-Thomas-Crapper/dp/1857028600
The story of Thomas Crapper, inventor of the flushing toilet and England’s Royal Plumber, as well as a fascinating social history of the lavatory. Available again in paperback. The name of Thomas Crapper, who invented the flushing toilet more than a century ago, is commemorated on lavatory cisterns throughout Britain. > Flushed with Pride > is the story of Crapper’s remarkable life and his struggle to reform the nation’s water closets. Wallace Reyburn recounts his early years and his journey on foot to London (at the age of eleven) to begin his apprenticeship with a master plumber. He then charts Crapper’s rise to preeminence as the leading inventive genius among Victorian water engineers. Named Plumber By Appointment to King Edward VII and the Prince of Wales, the ultimate accolade, Crapper masterminded the sanitary fittings at the Royal Palace, Sandringham House, and Westminster Abbey. Delightfully entertaining and packed with interesting historical insights, Flushed with Pride is a little classic of the small room. 128 pp 4 1/2 x 7 b/w illustrations throughout
Well, let’s get back to the festival. Are there many true aficionados there, or just a bunch of lookie-loos?
