Editors welcome
Well Julys here and for us up
in the Northern Hemisphere, it
means only one thing yes the
nights are drawing in already.
Summers been and gone (it waslast Tuesday afternoon in case
you missed it) and now we can
look forward to crisp autumn
evenings and Christmas.
Brenda, my surgically-enhanced wife has other ideas
though shes out in the garden oiling up her
silicone wabbers; my 16 years old daughter has
taken the opportunity of an empty house to
show the lads from the pub her rack (isnt itgreat to see the youth of today being involved
in such civilised hobbies such as wine-tasting)
and young lad Timmy has set up his own
business pushing hard-core drugs to the kids
on the local estate. Its great to seethe entrepreneurial spirit in my kids.
Have a great July. Editor

Meekie Fact: Meekies can be found the wholeworld over even in places like Holland
Sigh! Do we really have to go through
this every month?
For those of you who do not yet know, a meekie is a person with
a very large head, usually through no fault of their own. There is
nothing wrong with these people. Meekie Monthly aims to
celebrate these amazing people and has been doing so since
1988.

Proper news likeTapestry Goes West 2007
Friday 10th Sunday 12th August, 2007
Margam Park, Port Talbot, South Wales, SA13 2TH
50 (inc. camping)
Early bird tickets can be bought before the end of
April for 45
After years among the cowboys of Cornwall, last
year Tapestry Goes West went galloping off to
pastures medieval in Wales. And to great acclaim
they did so too! Which is why the festival returns
this year with more of the same...only more so.Taking place in a beautiful deer park near the
golden sands of Porthcawl and the Mumbles
peninsular, Tapestry is set to be a highlight of
the summer festival season.
Margam Park in South Wales is situated at the
heart of the land of the dragon and the legend of
King Arthur and Camelot. This is why its aperfect setting for Tapestrys mix of eclectic
music and medieval-style fun. Musical treats
aplenty come from The Duke Spirit, The Hot
Puppies, Radio Luxembourg, Clientele,
Threatmantics, The Poppies, Dexateens, The
Research and Relands Palomino Company among many
others (full line-up listed below). Medieval
malarkey includes jousting from Europe's premier
team of brave horsemen, The Knights of Arkley, a
medieval village, plenty of mead and spontaneous
bouts of chivalry (anyone who knows me will know
that I consider chivalry to be anything but
medieval, by the way).
Theres also a whole bunch of bands and other
silly, fun summer stuff yet to be confirmed so
check www.tapestrygoeswest.com regularly fordetails.

Back Issues
Weve got lots of back issues of Meekie Monthlyleft. Weve been doing Meekie Monthly since
1988, but we only launched the electronic
version back in March
2007. We think youll
find that were getting
bigger andbetter every month.
If youve missed out on
the earlier issues, fear
not you can order them, free of charge, from
us. I think were a bittoo good to you, but
then we think that in
this day and age, you
deserve something for
free.
All you need to do is
email us at
[email protected], requesting which
issue you want. Weve got them all from March
onwards. Think they might be worth something
in a few years time. Probably not though.
Bikini Parade
We had loads of entriesfor our Bikini Parade. But
sadly, there are winner
and losers in all aspects
of life, and there can onlybe one winner. This
month, its Meekie
Monthly reader Jonathan
Cox from Swansea!
He hasnt won anythingand Im not even sure
what the rules were but
hes still won anyway!
Well done Mr Cox!
Jonanthan CoxThis is me on the Welsh
island of Magaluf
WINNER
Ive been reading Meekie Monthly now since I dont
know when. My favourite page is the Celebrity
Interview and I hope that one day, Ill be deemed
famous enough to be asked to do it. Until then, Im
going down to Sarthend for a noliday. Safe.

Step 1. Find a pair of low grip shoes you could try to do it inyour socks to start off with.
Step 2. Make sure that the ground you use to practise tomoonwalk on is also not too grippy, try and find a polishedfloor.
Step 3. Stand with both feet close to each other, left footslightly ahead of the right (toes of right should be in line withhalf the left foot)
Step 4. Now raise the heel of the right foot so that you arestanding on the front of the right foot as if you are taking astep. The left foot must stay where it is (take care not to moveit).
Step 5. As you lower the heel of the right foot, lean all yourweight on the right foot, and drag back the left foot to so thatits toes are in line with the heel of the right foot. The left foot'sheel must be slightly off the ground at this stage. As you drag
back, do not push down on the left foot at all or it will notglide. Make sure as you lower the heel of the right foot(slowly) the left moves at an equal speed. This will need lotsof practice to master the right speed.
Step 6. Keep practicing up to the above steps until you canmake the movement subconsciously without any difficulty.
Step 7. Once you have mastered that, "kick" outwards with
the left foot, but although not quite touching the ground, makeit look as if it is touching. Move it out a foot-size's worth awayfrom the toes of the right. No part of the left foot should beraised higher than another.
Step 8. After you make your left foot move so it is at thestarting position, lift up the heel once more of the right foot.Make sure the left leg is bent at the knee. Now repeat step 5.Keep practicing until you have the whole thing figured out,
and it has been verified by others, and you feel quite comfort-able with it. You should eventually get that gravity-defying

Rugby World Cup Preview
In a new series,
Meekie Monthly
counts down to the
Rugby World Cup
this
September by
looking at the
various tactics used
by the worldsteams.
Rugby is a complicated game. In a recent study, over 90% of professional
players said that they did not understand most of the rules. Worringly, an
alarming 96% of referees said the same. This month, Meekie Monthly
introduces the front row, and what they should be doing
The Props (No 1 or 3)The Props (No 1 or 3)The Props (No 1 or 3)The Props (No 1 or 3)
There are two props in every team,the tight-head and the loose-head. Intheory, this relates to which side ofthe hooker and they prop him up at
the scrum. Thats all they have to doin the game and the position requiresno running or jumping
Second Row (No 4 & 5)Second Row (No 4 & 5)Second Row (No 4 & 5)Second Row (No 4 & 5)
Sometimes called locks, theseguys jump up for the ball in thelineout. Typically, they are over610 and you can spot themthanks to the bandages they tapearound their ears. This is to pre-vent their ears from being ripped
off when the leave the scrum tooquick to accidentally knock theball on
Hooker (no. 1)Hooker (no. 1)Hooker (no. 1)Hooker (no. 1)
The hooker is the poor blighter who gets stuckright in the middle of a scrum. Hes also sup-posed to throw the ball into the lineout, butdue to constant neck compression in thescrum affecting their hand/eye co-ordination),
most hookers couldnt hit a barn door fromtwo feet away
No.8 (no. 8)No.8 (no. 8)No.8 (no. 8)No.8 (no. 8)
The No. 8 is there tosecure the scrum andto run at people,hopefully trampling allover their opponentsand leaving
studmarks on lots offaces

BarbequesThe GrubThe food is the leastimportant thing to think
about when it comes to
a barbeque. Some
people make the mistake
of worrying too muchabout the food, when in
reality, theyll overlook the food for the drink.
The ClobberJust get one from Argos. Anyone will do. Just get one. Ok?
The BeerThe main event of any barbeque. You simply cannotdrink enough of this at any barbeque. It helps soothe
away those troubles and can help you relax as you
sizzle the sausages. Remember though, that drinking
more than 1 gallon may affect the way that you are
able to converse with your friends. It is a good way
however, of regurgitating your food for later, so that
you dont have to spend so much on burgers etc.
Theres nothing better than a good
old British barbeque is there? But
theyre always best if someone else
is doing the dirty work. If youre
sad loner like I am, then heres
your guide to barbequing.
Remember chums the bigger the
burger, the bigger the barbequeneeds to be. Good luck.
