Hi all, 15 ducks in a row (AFDs actually but it doesn't sound good). Gig tonight so I can watch everyone else being daft while I remain on soda and lime (I'm a little devil really). Might go CrAzY and have a bag of peanuts too.
An amusing story. At a gig in a pub in Barking, we were watching a lady dancing. She was wearing a shortish dress with a side slit. I was waiting for her to accidentally flash her undies (didn't happen!). Despite her intoxication and slightly wild dancing at no point did she spill a drop of her wine - which was really impressive. At the end she came over to me (why me?) and said (through a haze of fumes) "I know you, you're the drummer!" The drummer was 6" shorter than me, Asian with thick black hair so I understand her confusion. She said (and you have to say this aloud in the drunkest accent you can) "Tell your singer never to do that (hic, slight stagger) "High...Wigh (burp) that..."Highwell to Hay" 'cos of ALL the problems in the world (whisper now) If you play that - there's gonna be trouble!"
Some people become obnoxious after drinking a lot, some amusing - she was the latter!Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!4 -

@cathybird Morning, 18/23 today and that's definite! Date-5 for October, I get it wrong I know, I know. Problem now, I can't blame drink any more!
. Still, 551 in a row (Excluding Hols!). Happy with that.
Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!5
