The traditional Lancastrian martial art: Ecky Thump.

I supported Stockport County for many years, I suppose I still do as I have SC on my Google Earth places of interest.

Aye, I'm a Northerner awright.
Born and bred on the banks of the mighty Mersey. Learned to swim in the Manchester Ship Canal (no kiddin' - I must have absorbed enough nasties to create antibodies that'll make me immune to almost anything!). Cats with tails round our way were visitors. Did my competitive rowing with Liverpool Victoria Rowing Club on the Great West Float in Birkenhead - for the benefit of those that don't know what I'm talking about, the Great West Float is an enormous dock on the south bank of the Mersey opposite Liverpool city centre. So if you think rowing is a sport for the sons of the aristocracy, think again. In the North of England it's a sport for blokes who can put up with cold, rain, dirty oily water and torrents of foul abuse from river boat pilots and tug-boat skippers. ("Jolly Boating Weather", my @rse!)

Hey Col.

Just as long as we're not kissing cousins, cousin! :eek:
Stockport is on the Mersey.
True but it's only a bit of a trickle that far upstream. It's bloody nearly five miles wide when it gets down to the bit where I came from.
Im sure I Piddled in it once or twice......:p
See! I said you were a bastard, didn't I? :eek:
Here's a bit of trivia for you. John Thaw, the actor who played Inspector Morse, Kavanagh and a bunch of other TV roles (bloody good actor, too), his Dad was in charge of the main locks on the Manchester Ship Canal.

Hey! Col, Al, I remember that dock I was 10 when I came to OZ, lived in Speke, right next to the "old Liverpool" airport just out of Garsten, and remember my Mum taking us to Speke Hall. Dam'd! small world aint it!...:)

Not for the first time, of course. You must be getting used to it by now? :D And anyway, Al, savage and me are the best kind: Northerners! When we say 'grass' it rhymes with 'crass', 'lass' and 'ass', not '@rse', 'parse' and 'farce'. When we say 'bluddy 'ell' it sounds like we mean it! :D

The Goodies? Silly, immature, full of mad poms. Must be why I liked it so much. Except for the last bit. Well, 2 out of 3 ain't bad... ;)
And now, A walk in the Black Forest....

"Radio Caroline", an old barge anchored on the Mersy over Brighton way I think?.

No, mate. Radio Caroline was a ship, anchored just off the Isle of Man and just outside British territorial waters. This enabled the crew to broadcast pop and rock music (and commercials) 24/7 into the UK. Had they been inside British waters, they would have been contravening the broadcasting laws of the time.
They operated very successfully for a few years and built up a big following. Then the British government bowed to popular demand, changed the regs and the BBC started to broadcast pop and rock full time. This was the start of Radio One and a rash of smaller regional radio stations. Most of the DJs who had been working for Caroline (and a couple of other pirate stations) were employed by the Beeb to host their new music broadcasts.

Well, I knew it was something like that, very controversial in the day, I was only 10 yrs old when brought to OZ, funny how I remember stuff like that but can't remember yesterday. Must be short term memory loss, can't wait till yesterday is history I might find my car keys!:confused: ...Ha!Ha!...

The Goodies and Monty Python did come from the same roots (or is that Hoots?). I bet they kick themselves whenever they see Michael Palin drive past in his Porsche :D A bit like being the original Beatles drummer.

Iain - yes, I think you're right. However, that would have been down South, of course, and therefore of very little interest to us stalwart Northerners :cool: (That's how you pronounce Scouse Git where I come from, incidentally. Repeat after me: 'Stalwart Northerner').
