It's all gone a bit quiet over here again.

More effort needed all round I think!

Zed, I keep on seeing your doppleganger on a push bike around Liverpool Road gate.

I could have sworn it was you the other day and couldn't understand why you didn't wave back.

Are you working on some kind of semi legal cloning experiment?

If so, is the purpose to able to be in 2 bars at the same time?!??!

Careful Donkey, she resembles that remark... did I put resembles? Oh dear, perhaps we have you sussed Zed

Donkey, you are to double away smartly and press gang some vollies from Collingwood onto the forum so you have some people to poke with a stick. You will be paid the princely sum of one telephone call, on the pusser's network, to any telephone number within HMS Collingwood that you want per new member. Yes, that was PER new member. Now go and start giving the bulger's shilling (don't tell the bulger you have his shilling or he'll become very upset) to the unsuspecting vollies of Collingwood... mwahhh ha ha (Evil laugh)

Hello. You're not alone Donkey, I'm on the forum.

Good gig Monday wasn't it? I wonder if any of the other bands have ever had a member of the audience thrown out (of a church!) for enjoying the performance too much!

NEVER..... The band usually outnumber the audience at most gigs anyway.

Fair point mate. Will leave my lack-of sense of humour in the super-secret Nelson Bandroom forum.......

Is it a secret though or just a red herring? Do we really exist or are we just part of someone's inescapable nightmare? Why is the sky blue (or bordering on gray-ish)?

We played the annual fund-raiser in the church at Titchfield on Monday and an old bloke sat in the front pew and heckled throughout the first half. He shouted things like "I didn't expect to enjoy this ... I thought it was going to be cr*p" and "Phwoah, that Betty Grable she had a great figure". His most glorious moment, though, was singing "I DID IT MY WAY" in a pub singer style, just as Tony was taking a breath ready for his solo bit at the end of the Sinatra medley.

The good ladies of St Peter's threw him out of the church at half time. The second half wasn't nearly so much fun!
