That one is a bugger and I've still not worked it out. Mitzi tells me the answer might involve fictional numbers, or something. How's the glorious world of sheds?

Geordie Mick is confused.

He has been sent a tortoise in the post by a deranged fan to autograph, with a request to dress it up as a fly and play some 'satanic' bass lines to it, whilst whistling the tune to Kid Creole And The Coconut's top tune ‘Annie I’m Not Your Daddy’. The crazed anonymous poster has then reuquested he post the tortoise on to Bernard Manning.

What can it all mean?

― Suke Matterhorse, Thursday, 20 January 2005 16:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm denying the name Ming Mang Mong for Geordie Mick's new band 'cos there is already a perfectly acceptable mad band called Mong. If you download their grammatically challenged "Mong want's more!" offering here: http://www.topplers.net/ you will hear that Mick's new venture might suffer in comparison.

Turk's "The Other Tube Bar" night is infact upstairs at Firefly on 29th Jan. Be there kids.

― Kevin Hewick, Friday, 21 January 2005 10:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Enough Morris, Suke. Back to the studio, I mean band.

Pat from Prolapse is starring in a Prolpase tribute band which he has formed in Copenhagen using stoats and polecats to make up the rest of the band and they are going to play concerts to homeless people from Greenland.

Its official! Geordie Mick has written a new song to be sung by a sampled old Speak and Spell toy that he last used when he was 11, its kinda in da style of add n to x on mogadons. I have insider details of the song and here are the lyrics!

Measure vs calculation, by Ming Mang Mong (Projected title)

Rationals, irrationals, integers etc., have lots of interesting properties
that
measurements don't.

We can approximate a measurement by a number
from any of these sets, together with a scaling/choice of units, but none of
the
mathematical structure that makes our the number rational
or whatever remains, precisely because all measurements are approximations.

Is it to do with sums?

― The Other Robert Harrison, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 10:47 (twenty-one years ago)

hard sums

Jings! Those wee, sleekit, cowrin', tim'rous teenagers The Haggis Collectors have released a Burns night single: "Great Chieftan o' the Puddin-race!" It's backed, miraculously, by a goth/burns crossover called "Trenching your Gushing Entrails". It's braw!

― Neptune, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 11:09 (twenty-one years ago)

That's nothing Neptune. Haggis Collectors' 9-year-old ex-roadie Dougal has formed a band called Neeps n Tatties and released "I Wish I Was Maw Broon's Son", a deranged cover of Jeremy's rarely played classic. The B-side is, inevitably, "I Feel All Bashed and Champit". Crivens!

― Uranus, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 11:27 (twenty-one years ago)

You've trumped me again Uranus. Damn you and your crazy axis.

― Neptune, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 11:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Bog that's real.

Who is [email protected] posting as BOTH OF MY NAMES plus "Mongreilf" on sci.math.num-analysis in 1998? And posting strangely philosophical stuff too, for a numerical analysis forum.

― Rex Harrison, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

It's Dale Olivier

― Dale Olivier, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:43 (twenty-one years ago)

He of Fountainhead fame? By the way, I have spoken to Geordie Mick, his current favourite band name is Bog, Thats Real!

It works on so many different levels.

― Donald Ross Skinny, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 13:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Here's another geordie mick/speak and spell tune, to a funeral like dirge using a bass line not to dissimilar to 'Faith' by the Cure.

It's called "Elementary Proofs"

The existence of transendental numbers used particular proofs that pi or e
were transendental, then Cantor's diagonal argument showed the Reals were
not countable and as algebraics were, transendentals must exist.

I heard about a very longwinded existence theorem for some esoteric type of
agebraic object, only for the author's student to show it only existed in
the
trivial case. Mongreilf rock.

― Kesh Mongrielf, Tuesday, 25 January 2005 14:02 (twenty-one years ago)

I AM DALE OLIVIER!

It's not wonderful, but it's more than anyone else has written about Prolapse thus far this year.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Tuesday, 25 January 2005 17:51 (twenty-one years ago)

If Geordie Mick is using Kesh (Mongreilf) as his lyricist, does he not hate him any more?

― Martin Greasepaint, Wednesday, 26 January 2005 08:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Kesh has recently formed a Celtic Rock band, check here for details - http://www.thekesh.org.uk/kesh/
i always suspected there was an Irish Joe influence in his music....

― Wonky Boy, Wednesday, 26 January 2005 08:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Not content with writing all geordie Mick's nu ming mang mong songs for him to explain his obession with imaginary and irrational numbers and BEING a band, kesh now has a folkie side project called Mooncoin to satisfy his pastural leanings. He can be heard playing the fiddle on much of what passes for covers of "The Hangmans Beautiful daughter" in many folk clubs on the norfolk circuit. Here's da link kids:-

― Turk E Heaven, Wednesday, 26 January 2005 14:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Mongreilf has never had an obsession with imaginary numbers, that's probably some other mathematician on the "Leicester Scene", now living by the sea. Mongreilf only speaks of irrational, algebraic and transendental numbers. It helps keep him calm.

― Uli Schwabe, Wednesday, 26 January 2005 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

In an alarming Volte Face The Haggis Collectors have renamed themselves as The Haggis Collective and are singing dreary agit-prop. Their first release is called, simply, Lung-Meat. No-one knows if it is an oblique and ironically sexist reference to one of Scottish Mick's early girlfriends or simply a paean to vegetarianism: revealing what haggis is actually made from.

― Dale Olivier, Wednesday, 26 January 2005 16:30 (twenty-one years ago)

hurrah....the tube bar finally gets a decent web site.

i trust you are aware of this.

http://www.thetubeclub.co.uk

anyway, the turk should look at

www.pineapster.co.uk

at which he'll be able to plug the tube bar nights for free under the venues page. and pineapster gets 5,000 hits a day....huge...free...charity funded website.

― andy black, Thursday, 27 January 2005 09:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Ming Mang Mong have been added to the line up for next Tuesday's charity gig in aid of the badger protection league at the Beacon Inn in Loughborough. Because of the short notice they haven't got a full set of original songs, so will be doing some cover versions, including Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Ooo Wakka Doo wakka Day", and Jonathan King's "Leap up and down, wave your knickers in the air."

― Gertrude Ectoplasm, Thursday, 27 January 2005 19:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Ming Mang Mong have written a new song in rehearsals called "Theme From Ming Mang Mong". Kesh (Mongrielf) wasn't allowed to write the lyrics to this one given his monomaniacial fascination with various integers so Geordie Mick improvised, just singing the words 'Ming Mang Mong' quickly over and over again until he got dizzy and fell over (legs akimbo) in a heap on the floor.

― Ming the Merciless, Thursday, 27 January 2005 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Integers?! If irrationals or transcendentals are integers it's a world gone upside down.

― Mongreilf, Friday, 28 January 2005 08:47 (twenty-one years ago)

Can we talk about Bloom some more?

― Vin Vandal, Friday, 28 January 2005 10:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Are Bloom still going ?

― Mr Pleasant, Friday, 28 January 2005 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't know if Bloom are still going, but I've heard their singer was a bit of a goer.

― Gary Dent, Friday, 28 January 2005 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Didn't she concieve at a Kevin Hewick concert ?

― Karl James, Friday, 28 January 2005 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually she was a bit of a Gower, as in related to David Gower, the famous leicestershire batsman.

Octavia Alfonso Gower was her full name, nothing at all to do with the Kesh Mongreilf family whatsoevahhhh

― Foxy Sideburns, Friday, 28 January 2005 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not surprised, seeing Kevin Hewick live always makes me feel like a good, hard shag.

― Sandie Bush, Friday, 28 January 2005 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

I get similar urges seeing MJ Hibbert, especially after a few lager and blacks.

― Big Mad Susan, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 10:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey Mad Susan, if you want to get off with MJ Hibbett learn to spell his name properly. We hear he tests people before having sex.

― The Noing Sisters, Tuesday, 1 February 2005 20:44 (twenty-one years ago)

God, I'm going out and buying the biggest dictionary I can find. Mmm-mm.

― Big Mad Susan, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 12:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Scottish Mick has taken on a new sideline project/job, that is disposing of any unwanted coffee tables anyone might have. Disposing of unwanted coffee tables is not as easy as you'd think (the council now charge for taking away household objects), but Mick has thought of an ingenious way to do it. In order to the reduce the size of the furniture he psychs himself up by dancing manically to "She's Lost Control" by Joy Division and then does a big belly flop onto said table smashing the legs off in one fell swoop. He can also dye carpets (tho only pink) using a special sceret formula only he knows (he will also grant Prolapse fans who know the lyrics to Doorstop Rhythmic Bloc a special 'two for one' deal where he will do both for no extra charge).

― Mongreilf, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 15:09 (twenty-one years ago)

Well he's got competition. Steve Baker has been dying his friends carpets a dirty pink for years. Upholstery too.

― Mongreilf (The real one), Wednesday, 2 February 2005 15:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I hear Steve Baker also provides this service completey free of charge

The Ming Mang Mong charity gig came to a premature end last night when Geordie Mick went into a trance like state during the first song, "Theme from Ming Mang Mong", spinning round and round chanting the words like a mantra with his eyes closed, and fell off stage knocking himself unconcious. He was rushed to hospital, and support band Men with Cigars had to do an impromptu second set to try to calm the restless crowd. They decided to do some Prolapse covers but only knew "Fear of teeth", "Irritating radiator" and "Liquid compliment" plus the Prolapse tribute song "A hat, A hat, A mongoose and A hat" by The Scringe.

― Mad Mang, Wednesday, 2 February 2005 18:19 (twenty-one years ago)

There's a press conference scheduled for the visitors room in Leicester General Hospital (floor 3, B ward) at 3pm this afternoon by "Michael Daltrey Townsend Entwistle Moon Topographic Oceans Harrison".

It's rumoured that the complete tracklisting of the new Haggis Collective album "White Light, White Cyder" will be announced.

I for one am positively trembling with excitment.

― Call the polis - there's a Mad Mang in town, Friday, 4 February 2005 10:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Here is a leaked partially complete tracklist for the new Haggis Collective/MMM album of cover versions of songs which have influenced Geordie Mick in his formative years:

Ming me a mong (Marc Bolan)
Mangalang (Bay City Rollers)
Every little ming she does is manky (The Police)
Mang Mang (Cher)
911 is a joke (Public Enemy)

― Lester Newshound, Friday, 4 February 2005 14:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Have not forgotten "Everybody Ming Mang tonight" by Mang Mong

― The ghost of nigel's coffee table, Friday, 4 February 2005 16:13 (twenty-one years ago)

BIG excitement at the press conference at the hospital when Geordie Mick appeared wearng a kaftan made from colostomy bags which he had borrowed from the medical supplies cupboard. It turns out that the promise of track titles from his new album was a smokescreen for "the small minded critics and non-believers".

"The Mickster" looked well, and now that the trademark Harrison pudding basin haircut has grown out, he has had a scouser perm with blond highlights which set off his red eyes nicely. He glossed over Tuesdays gig incident, saying it was a deliberate act of theatre, akin to Jim Morrison or David Icke.

He announced that he was holding the press conference to announce that there would be another press conference next week when he was out of hospital. Dave Davies from the Leicester Mercury shouted out that this was an old situationist trick from the 1760s. All subsequent questions from the press were greeted with "no comment" and Geordie Mick returned to the ward to have a nasty boil lanced by Nurse Betty.

― Harold Giblets, Friday, 4 February 2005 18:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I have news of another Ming Mang Mong tune set to the beat of the backing music to a casio 'soccer lcd game' from 1984. Once again kesh (Mongreilf) has provided the lyrics, with the battered old speak and spell game providing Vox fx.

It's called, 'Like rubbing crab juice on Reg Varney (Is there order among imaginery numbers?)' by Ming Mang Mong (projected title) home demo: 5th Feb 2005.

"Not sure about this.
How do you prove the premises of any mathematics are true?
I've not studied Frege Russel et al and work from axioms taken as read.
Remember Euclid's parralel axiom?
Surely the ARGUMENT is sound if the logic is sound, but the CONCLUSION
is sound only if both logic and premises are sound. Mongreilf likes numbers. (repeat to fade)."
