    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.
