A maud is a woollen blanket or plaid woven in a pattern of small black and white checks known as Border tartan, Falkirk tartan, Shepherd's check or Shepherd's plaid. It was in common use as an item of clothing in the southern counties of Scotland and the northern counties of England until the early twentieth century.
The origin of the word ‘maud’ is uncertain. Writing in 1894, Miss Russell said that it came from the Gaelic maudal or maundal, a poetic synonym for plaid. Her view seems to be backed by an old poem in Gaelic, The Tale of Connal, recorded in Ross-shire in 1859, which has the line, “And wrapped my maundal around;” An alternate source is that the word derives from ‘maldy’, meaning a course grey woollen cloth, which in turn comes from ’medley’, meaning a parti-coloured cloth, by way of mispronunciation. However, the reverse is also said to be true, whereby ‘maldy’ was an early nineteen century noun for yarn and cloth used to make mauds, as in ‘a cloak of maldy’, where it was pronounced ‘mawdy’.
Maud Mulder (born 17 November 1981 in Nijmegen, Netherlands) is a Dutch singer who rose to popularity after placing second in Idols Netherlands 2, the Dutch version of Pop Idol, shown by RTL 4. She is also a professional field hockey player with hoofdklasse side NMHC Nijmegen.
On 12 March 2006, Mulder participated in the national Dutch Song Contest finals. However, the jury considered the three songs she performed to be without any potential for the Eurovision, since they were like many of The Netherlands' previous (unsuccessful) entries. Apart from that, her vocal performances were weak due to an inflammation of the throat. Maud became third out of three, only just beat by rock band Behave.

So Lonely Was The Ballad
So lonely was the ballad
Harmonica man Sam was so knackered after jives of love
He puts on the gloves and then puts on his hat
Then its home to the missus who sits on his tongue
Selfish sons with their packs of cigarettes
Forking out two take your girl with the ticket
Sometimes sane other times not with it
Standing at the picket, man your hands they're freezing
Girls with their pearls on the flex of Monroe
Half g blow Marilyn's gone loco
Navaho... hi ho silver, Hey ho lets go dancing with the average Joes
Who talk with their fists and argue with their friends
Always take the piss but they're loyal in the end
But watch out cous cos they'll steal your girlfriend
Take her round the back; she'll come back limping
Girls singing on the bus
Fellas kicking up a fuss
Crying out sighs but they're still looking dangerous
Oh this is definitely all for you
Living life in the fast lane
Give it up when you got no game
Oh this is definitely all for you
So remember when you choke theres a reason bein'
We leavin' the town cos we ain't been believin'
Blowin' up smoke from the lungs to the ceiling
Makin' sure nightmares turn up in your dreamin'
We all good, bounce this way, on the mike every day
Kicking up the country oh
Good time in the old city
Who's listening and who wants more?
Girls singing on the bus
Fellas kicking up a fuss
Crying out sighs but they're still looking dangerous
Oh this is definitely all for you
Living life in the fast lane
Give it up when you got no game
Oh this is definitely all for you
(Spoken Word)
And how it was they noticed how the panic times subsided after listening to this tape, so we would appreciate your feedback. People who have panic attacks often feel that they should be able to deal with them and indeed the resources you need are already within you its just that sometimes the appropriate responses to a particular situation are not immediately accessible
Some of them said you never made the cut and young son break away wanna be older
Sober as a judge as the door slammed shut
3 bags full and a yes for the no sir
Say as you leave, "get up and go, go"
Say "hello Showaddy waddy wa wo wo"
There's never been a better way than getting right out of this town on Monday
Well I still wear my old tap shoes, they fit
You and me looked twelve years old back when i was ten whilst boozy suzie got woozy with a hoozy, advantage taken
If i ever see again that chaperone get kicked in the teeth by street-done Tone
Well her dress is ripped and her shoes are soakin'
1 step, 3 back, drinking potion
Girls singing on the bus
Fellas kicking up a fuss
Crying out sighs but they're still looking dangerous
Oh this is definitely all for you
Living life in the fast lane
Give it up when you got no game
