It was a cracker last night. We were all in, except poor old Tessa, who was gravely ill. How she managed to stagger into the shed and perform so well is a complete mystery. She finally passed out after only six renditions of River Deep, and had to be carried home and told to go suck a Fisherman's Friend.
Tod was also in the wars, wielding a spectacular wasp sting on his left palm. There were disrespectful comments about the familiarity of having a small prick in his hand, but luckily he ignored them.
We also learn about Dave's special predictive text on his phone. If he presses 'F'....you can guess the rest.
Another significant event: Charlie was asked very politely to turn his volume down. Historians are working even now to establish if this is a first in Shed 3b.
The return of Global Warming meant that Shed 3b got a bit warm; a mobile air conditioner might be in order.
Musically, there was a heated debate as to exactly how many bars Ms Turner stays on the 'A' in the middle of 'River Deep' - was it four or eight? There then followed an even more heated debate about what a 'bar' was. Finally, it was decided that the West end of the shed would count down eight. As it happens, Ms Turner does six: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULw1RHHPv5g
Apart from all that, things nicely warming up for the start of our Summer tour.
Welcome to the website of the Thomas Lord Old Gits, mid-Hampshire's answer to Chumbawumba and Earth Wind and Fire, except that we're not an anarchic workers' collective, we're not American, and we do covers.
All right, all right, so the West End of Shed 3b got it more right than the rest of us. Shame their self-righteous high fives had to be curtailed as Charlie thought it might damage his w*nking hand; Matt didn't want to go there anyway.
ReplyDeleteI think Tess is out of intensive care now. Don't know about the Fisherman's Friend.
