Just thinking........how many folks are doing the gig @ Nelson tomorrow?
Cos we need to start seriously planning our Bambara outfits 
And you all need to keep me away from the fridge in the bandroom from now on as I'm giving up beer. Again.

Evening. Nelson WR. Yawnsome dinner of some sort. But hey, we might get prawn sarnies again 
|
Nish

greenfairy

Woohoo! It's been ages since I got tall-person huggage - prepare to be boarded! Well hugged anyway in a nice, civilised, congratulatory style

Fridge ban is noted!!!

Drat, I was hoping you'd miss that bit O fruity one. Cos you're the one most likely to stop me grabbing the beer

Count me in.
Although if it's the minstrel's gallery he may not want 2 saxes due to space and noise, so I'll ring him.

(wanted an excuse to use that one!)

Wow, it's me!

I'm coming down for the gig.
And GF, I will be the naughty one pushing you towards the fridge....you know I'm a bad influence!!!
|

I don't know....I'd like to come back as a cat....
|
greenfairy
|
I don't think I'd make a very good cat. I've not got the "don't give a sh!t" attitude. I think I'm more of a "love me, love me, I need attention" puppydog personality
|

|
I'd like to come back as a rabbit. Eat, sleep shag. Perfect!
|
greenfairy
|
...get shot by mad gamekeepers riding quad bikes
aaaaaah memories
|
Apricot

I can see Ants as a cat...independant party animal, while Fairy you could be a cat as you have got the "stay out all night and sleep all day" characteristic down to a fine art! As for A's rabbit, no comment!!! 
|
greenfairy
|
Me? Stay out all night?!! 
You must have me confused with someone else 
|
Apricot
|
really?
|
greenfairy

*points*
See, I'm home before midnight. And I'm home before you are 
Apologies all for the slight jazz-version of Over the Rainbow - must remember to breathe before trying to play it next time
Glad the costume thing is all sorted although I'm gutted that Nish won't be doubling as King Leonidas

What#'s the theme?

Will tell you on Facebook later when I'm bored at work

*My turn to point ^*
Told her yet GF?!!! 
|

Yes she has
|
Hornblower

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Now I need to find more secrets to share across t'interweb to keep me amused for the rest of the day....

Oooh what secrets ya got then GF?
|
greenfairy
|
Well I wasn't going to say anything but I'm actually a 53 year old bloke called Henry. I had extensive, but only partially successful, surgery to turn me in to a 25 year old female.
But it's a secret, ok?
|
Hornblower
|
OK - your secret's safe with me - but only once you've sent the photos!!!
|
greenfairy
|
If I showed you, I'd have to kill you I'm afraid. It's a matter of national security
|
Hornblower
|
You gotta find me first!!!!!
Mwah ha ha haaaaar
|
greenfairy
|
It's only be a matter of eliminating horn players one by one until there's none left - just to be sure 
You know I love ya really, right? 
|
Hornblower
|
Well - let's put it this way...
I'M NOT GONNA SHOUT AT YOU AND RANT FOR HOURS WITHOUT END FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON.
OK?
|
greenfairy
|
Not even if I ask nicely?
|
Hornblower
|
Not even if you ask nicely!
However, cross my palm with folding stuff and just maybe...
|
greenfairy
|
Folding stuff? What, like deckchairs?
|
Hornblower
|
No GF - you silly little game-playing fairy, a deckchair is far too large to fit in my briefcase.
Nope - newspapers is what I mean. (And you knew that all along.)
And as for killing off horn players one by one, well - how silly is that? It'd take you ages and you still wouldn't be able to find me in the Portsmuff area.
A whole load of dead horn players just because of your inability to think things through properly.
(Hmmmmmmmmm, this is starting to turn into a rant after all - I think I'll shift TO CAPITALS BEFORE I CONTINUE.)
NOW WHERE WAS I?
|
greenfairy
|
You never mentioned that the folding stuff had to fit in your briefcase though. One can only jump to the nearest logical conclusion if not presented with all the facts 
Plus I'm not paid enough to think, especially on a Friday
|
Hornblower
|
Oh - Ok - Sorry, my mistake
|
greenfairy
|
S'ok. Will let you off - just cos it's you Stuey
|
Apricot
|
folding stuff - scores maybe?

Get your money back you looked better as Henry!

Someone has found their capslock key!

Maybe I should've paid more and had my sense of humour removed instead

I can't be that hideous that you have to hide from me HB, surely?

You GF?
Hideous?
Not through my rose tinted specs!
I was trying to duck the cross-fire.
I find it tres funny to see you giving it back.
Don't let the big ugly bugger grind you down girl.
Go GF! He's big and ugly enough to take it on the chin and I suspect is quite happy to trade insults...
...let's see now - I could sit firmly in the middle and see who can get the lowest blow in (steady!)

I don't do trading insults...but I'm too stubborn to just shut up.
Got worse from teenage girls at school to be honest

I don't do trading insults...but I'm too stubborn to just shut up
Ok GF….i agree with the above ……However, I will try and explain fully why I wrote what I did then you will be able to see the difference between trading insults and a comedy feed and funny reply. But first do not allow Hornblower to incite you to think that there exists a state of acrimony between us, there does not! He is a wily old stitch up artist and knows full well he will not get me on his hook but he may well get you!! So let’s leave him to casting his barbs elsewhere for now.
Ok….your line of “Well I wasn't going to say anything but I'm actually a 53 year old bloke called Henry. I had extensive, but only partially successful, surgery to turn me in to a 25 year old female. ..is a very good feed for a reply….some of the great comedy duos like Morcambe and Wise, The Two Ronnies, Mike and Bernie Winters, Hale and Pace, Cannon and Ball and the extremely clever Bob Monkhouse and his early partner Dennis Goodwin not to mention but I will Flanagan and Allen and the wicked Kenneth Williams and Hugh Paddick would all have used similar feeds…and received a reply similar to the one I gave you……of…”get your money back you looked better as Henry!”
So not a trade in insults more a smart reply….my experience of the Royal Marines and the Band Service has taught me that the some of the funniest humour I have ever heard has been on messdecks with Bandies, Buglers and Marines who have been at sea too long and are bored!
As for “I don't do trading insults...but I'm too stubborn to just shut up” falls into the military thinking of do not defend a bad position, or, don’t reinforce failure!!! I could say it smacks of petulance but that would be an insult so I will not say it.
So whilst I thought your statement about the Buglers was rude rather than unfunny and my subsequent replies may seem that I am in sort of war with you I can assure you that is not the case. I must admit I do not get off on some of the replies on this forum that purport to pass as wit but that’s maybe due to the fact that I was brought up on extremely clever and funny comedians and there are few about today who can raise a laugh without excessive swearing but that’s just me.
So to put my theory to the test about your feed line and, my statement that bandies are witty and funny lets put your feed up for hits on how many variations we get back…..Ok.

I'm not trying to be funny, witty or clever though. I'm just being myself - not much I can do about that as I'm not going to change just to please people
I don't think we have a feud going on, no one on here has to be best busom pals after all. I admit to being a tad bemused to be singled out for my post but hey - life's too short to get wound up.
I'm off to enjoy the remainder of my Friday night with a nice cold beer - hope everyone has a great weekend

I think its Bosom not Busom Henry!!

Heard that Dan !!!
...and a masterly dissertation on the quality (lack of..!) of comedians today.
Could not have said it better - or improved your choices either - nice one Dan !

Not singled out GF...just replied to with an explanation and certainly no intention to wind you up. However, you do seem to make heavy weather of replies to your posts...not a critisism of course just an observation. Anyway enjoy the beer and weekend...you VBs do seem to suck on the bottle..beer fridge in the band room...way to go!
Take no notice of SF about your shoes..hes only a para...hes envious of everything green!!!!!!!!!!
