Back to last night's rehearsal. A bit hot'n'sweaty (even before anyone mentioned Ms Humble), but a really purposeful evening. we learned many things.
1. The magnificent contribution of Sir Joseph Whitworth (1803 - 1887) to 19th Century engineering, standardising threads for the first time.
2. The merits of the Selectaspeed gearbox in tractors of a certain age.
3. Fat people are harder to kidnap. (We never found out if this is due to the fact that they are harder to bundle into a boot, or because they take longer to plead for release due to hunger. Ian said he'd last three minutes.)
4. Dave is getting married. Yes, you did read that right.
The music went very well, with a room full of satisfied smiles at the end of (almost) every song.
All we need is for Ian to come out of his shell a bit, and we'd be away.
