BEING A SHORT DIVERSION ON THE DUBIOUS ORIGINS OF THE NORTH
Once upon a time there were three little boys called Tom, Twiz and Neal, by name christened. They decided to get together because they were the getting together type. When they were together they wondered what for after all, what for? So all of a sudden they grew guitars and fashioned a noise. Funnily enough, no one was interested, least of all the three little men. So-o-o-o on discovering a fourth even littler lady called Bernadette running about them they said, quote "Missy get on the mic and you will be alright" as she did--but she wasn't alright because she had no words. So they sat on her with comfort 'til she had something to sing. Still there was no beat, and a kindly old man said, quote "Thou hast not drums." We had drums, they coffed. So a series of drums came and went and came until Da-Rell showed up and hit them just right.
Many people ask what is The North? Why The North? Ugh, The North, how did the name arrive? So we will tell you. It came in a vision--a man appeared on a flaming pie and said unto them "From this day on you are The North." Thank you mister man, they said, thanking him.
