Paid Members FLips Posted July 16 Paid Members Share Posted July 16 Happy Birthday to who Frankie? Was it aimed at someone, who’s name did you say when it got to the “Happy Birthday dear…”? Sounds like a nightmare. That would wake me up screaming for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Statto Posted July 16 Paid Members Share Posted July 16 That story actually reminds me of one, that has the inverse punchline. A group of my mates set themselves up as a function band, for whom I'd occasionally dep on vocals. I did such for one gig, a birthday party for twin girls at a very nice country house down a mile long tree-lined drive. Whoever they were they had plenty of money. Couple of the lads claimed they saw Dave Gilmour at the party, although I didn't. Anyhow, came to the point in the set where you'd remind everyone why they're there and play/sing Happy Birthday. Give it the big build up, then turn to the keyboard player who's job it was to accompany the singing. See he's got a look of terror on his face. He's had a complete mental blank on how to play Happy Birthday. In a fit of panic, he just starts playing the first thing that comes to mind. Which, for some reason, was the main theme from Jurassic Park. There's no coming back from that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but it has become a running joke in our circle. "Happy bir-irth-day, happy bi-irth-day, happy birthday to YOUuuuu..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get round to sorting that census out, I’ll jot down more of my calamitous experiences so you can all wonder how I make it through a day.

The first series will be based around your dating life, with the finale being you finally find a partner. Then it's about everything else.

Paid Members air_raid Posted July 17 Paid Members Share Posted July 17 Me and Mrs raid were looking for some pittosporum for ages. Thought we knew which one, there was some fairly healthy specimens growing on the front of a neighbours. One day I knocked on the door and a lady answered. I said ; "My partner and I have been admiring your bush." She laughed and said "Really?" - I wanted to die. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
