Black Puddings

Hi Keith.
How many of us can you fit in your shower???:D
Geoff:D

Guess we should use the Welsh changing rooms at the Millenium Stadium, could fit in Charlotte Church, Our Shirley, Duffy, Cleris Mathews, Max Boyce, Tom Jones, the Sterephonics etc. NOT A BAD LINE UP FOR A CHARITY SINGLE: The Black Pudding Rap.

.

Well Keith...of Tregenna.Congratulations! You've really 'crossed the line' now. Inviting strange men(Geoff) into your shower,and doing unspeakable things with black puddings.You used to be such a nice,quiet man.Congratulations!

It used to be 'Spankers,Futtocks and Galligaskins' to you.
Now it's 'Showers and Black Puddings'.

GLAD YOU CALLED ME KEITH, HAD WORRIED THAT YOU MISTOOK ME FOR GEORGUS MICHAELUS: Did suggest the National Stadium of Wales for a shower including some major Welsh celebs. No Wham there, been to those kind of parties, lost my car, its keys and ended up with a granny from Ponty and a mini, theres me left standing with two flat tyres.

Back to the rap, could put Black Pud on the map, nothing like the meat to keep to the beat, Yeah ! BP is best, when put to the test, from your town or mine, the flavour is devine. keep away from our starlet, Charlotte the Harlot as far as our rugby they know that All Black is best. Bring on all foes, no worries or woes. We had BP at Break Fast and more for our Dinner, now onto the field, we are onto a winner.

BOOGIE DOWN WITH SOME PIGS BLOOD AND SPICES OF OLD,( Posh, Sporty, Ginger, Baby) Yeah man, OR YEMEN, Black Pudding is cool, unless eaten hot, Rapped in bacon rashers. wrapped in foil and bake in the oven for about 15 to 20 minutes. Open foil for last 5 minutes. serve with scrambled egg and grilled tomatdo, plenty of ground black pepper. Song needs fine tuning, but could work............ K.

WHAT ABOUT THIS LOT: Black Pudding Tossing

Every year in the Northwest of England 'The World Black Pudding Tossing Competition' takes place. The event which resurrects the ancient rivalry between the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire has taken place every year since the 1850s The current venue for the event is the 'Royal Oak' pub in the village of Ramsbottom, Greater Manchester.

6 oz. Bury puddings are lobbed at a wall of Yorkshire puddings set on a plinth 6 m. above the ground. The winner is the contestant who dislodges the most Yorkshire puddings during their three lobbing attempts.

Thats a Rap.

Keith mate I know you are good at poetry but nebver knew you had a musical bent.:eek:

Should get back to the serious stuff, thanks for the light relief and a bit of both banter and fun. Guess I have the Black Pudding Blues and thats a rap.

Hi Keith.
Thanks for the banter, You know what they say about laughter its the best form of medicine.Beside when you laught and smile, it makes the opposition wonder what the hell youve been up to, and what do you know that they dont! . :eek: Keep them coming you cant be serious all the time.:D
GEOFF.

Keith , maybe what you should have said is, lets get Black to serious stuff, and theres nothing blacker than a Bury black pudding. Not sure about the tossing, though I come from Lancashire I would prefare to eat them rather than than throw them at the Yorkshire puds, even if it is to prove our superioroty in the black pudding market. I Love the comments that you have all made about the humble black pud and Think I can say without doubt thats its the most talked about food stuff on site . Love it or hate it, it rocks the boat.:D
Sorry Gully your bomb hasnt done the deed.
All the best to everybody.. Wilky.:):):)

Reggae version planned, but latest news is on dem Blues................. K

Suzanne's black pudding blues!

From the Bolton Evening News, first published Tuesday 3rd Apr 2001.

BLONDE popstar Suzanne Shaw has made a confession to warm every Lancastrian heart -- she loves an ample portion of Bury's famous black pudding.

Suzanne revealed her penchant for the staple Bury grub when asked to list the things she missed most about the town.

While friends and family topped her list, she placed black puddings third.

Suzanne also revealed a love of the area and said Bury would always be in her heart.

She said: "I will always come from Bury and I'll never forget that. I want to thank all of the band's fans in the town for supporting me."

The 19-year-old's group, Hear'Say, made chart history on Sunday after becoming the first British act to top the single and album charts simultaneously with debut releases.

But the bubbly singer, who is now becoming accustomed to London life, said she plans to return north as often as possible.

She said: "As soon as I have some time off, I'm going straight back home.

"I miss knowing where every shop is and knowing my family and friends are just around the corner. I also miss black puddings."

Suzanne rose to fame on ITV's Popstars programme which followed the fortunes of more than 3,000 wannabe stars.

An audience topping 10 million saw her accepted into the group following a visit from one of the judges, "Nasty" Nigel Lythgoe.

Since then Suzanne has become a household name along with fellow band members Myleene Klass, Danny Foster, Kym Marsh and Noel Sullivan. Their first single Pure and Simple became the third biggest selling debut record of all time.

Suzanne said: "Growing up in Bury was really cool. The environment I grew up in enabled me to live a really normal life and I'm still in touch with friends and family in the area."

The band's album -- named Popstars -- sold 306,631 copies in its first week, sending it soaring to the top. It outsold the rest of the Top 10 combined.

Suzanne said: "It's a bit different from playing wars with my friends around the back of our houses."
