He was saved, obviously. I'm surprised Jamie Oliver hasn't travelled "oop North" to develop a Cumbrian Mud Pie; given it appears to be your most abundent natural crop....

BrunoBrimley 86 Posted July 28, 2009 My dad fell in the mud very close to the site of this accident when he was a toddler. He was saved, obviously. Oh I am so glad he found the Lord. Might I ask of which religion he is now? Do you think he was saved (shout Hallelujah my heathen brothers and sisters) because of what he was wearing? Or was it usual that people were saved when being dipped in the mire? I'm not familiar with the rites and customs in Maryport~~~~~~~~~~~`or Cumbria or even Cambria Heights.

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted November 22, 2009 Thanks for your concern conveyed via Facebook messages and those of you who have hunted down my private e-mail, doorstepped my good self and or crept into my wardrobe to sneak out and scare Mrs MPFC in misguided attempts to see we're not drowning. On second thoughts maybe I just dreamed the last one. In answer to the, literally, seven enquiries it is worth noting that Cockermouth and Workington are on the river Derwent, fed by high lakeland fells and - as of last Friday - a raging and untameable monster. Maryport by contrast sits on the River Ellen which is fed by the pleasant little collection of rounded and unchallenging 'Northern Fells,' these hummocks lack the collective power to gather and discharge the volumes of water sluiced on poor Workington. The destructive power of the Ellen is further tamed by the fact it flows into Maryport harbour which experiences considerable tidal shifts and, therefore, offers a large target, reducing the power of the river to rise. The damage is minor, the news crews are freezing their collective bollocks off in Cockermouth and Wukkie and the slavvering West Cumbrian hordes are eyeing their Berghaus jackets with ill disguised envy. Obviously, the problem of frightening and bedraggled Workington refugees, begging food and generally frightening the horses will soon require swift and decisive action in the Maryport area, but I'm still breathing, okay?

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted June 2, 2010 Aye, all joking aside there's about half a dozen closish relatives around the various crime scenes I can't account for, though everyone, who knows someone shot, seems to have found out about it now.
