So - you didn't put your name on the Collingwood list, but it appeared on the list that was sent to Heron. I did put my name on the Collingwood list, but it didn't appear on the Heron one...

It looks like Chris B (sax/clarinet) has become Chris P (sax/clarinet) somehow. Nobody would deliberately put your name down without your permission. I'm sure this is an administrative error.

Don't worry, nobody is going to think you unreliable because of this!

I ran that possibility by Johnno, though he didn't have the original list to hand to check it.

Though it's not the first time we've been mistaken for each other - in name, and clearly not by appearances!

Oh yes! I was congratulated by several people for winning the solo competition at the Festival a couple of years ago. I didn't bother correcting them, just basked in the glory!

Of course, we also have a clarinet player at Collingwood called Chrissy B. If all three of us wear sunglasses no-one will be able to tell us apart!

One day when I do eventually muster up the courage to go on a Cologne wall to wall pi$$-up with some playing done in between (though both are usually done at the same time), I'll make sure anything I do eat or drink comes straight from a factory sealed container - loose gherkins are off the menu!

Would be good to have you along I'm sure, although I think if you are looking for a "wall to wall pi$$-up with some playing done in between" you may have the wrong end of the stick!  Gig after gig after gig evening after evening, following mile after mile after mile of marching while playing (or at least at the last resort occasionally pretending to play), accompanied by manic dancing, even when your feet are refusing to shift one more step, while all the time gaining increasing levels of competency in waiting while standing ,often outside in the cold, rain and perchance snow, washed down with free beer when you can get your hands on it (sadly no as often as it used to be) and all with 3 - 4 hours sleep a night is closer to the mark.  

The reason we ask to go time after time?  The fantastic company.  Nothing else would make you even consider it!  See you all at Fleet!  My feet can hardly wait :)

Ah, Cologne. How I love the smell of frozen horse-pooh in the morning.

Only if it's a double double double, topped up with another one.
But keep it a secret until AFTER I've drunk it. It's more fun that way.
