Drunk people at a gig. Grrr! " 'Ere mate can I do a song?" Er...no. I'm at work. Would you get a plumber in and have a go on his wrench?
Besides that, 7/30 please.Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!5 -

Good evening everyone.
Well the neighborhood Coronation Big Lunch was great. As promised there was alcohol free sparkling wine available to toast Their Majesties in addition to alcoholic beverages. There were about six of us drinking it and we had just as good a time as those drinking the real stuff.
7/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X

Fizz at Coronation Celebration Picnic but bought a takeway for the evening and just drank water with it. Left Picnic when pals planned the remainder of the afternoon sitting in a local garden as I could see that was going to descend into a Prosecco Party.
Changes in habits: I left rather than sat and drank to excess and I drank water with my Indian Takeaway.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!4 -
