General Chat

I worked at Whitchurch Hospital for nigh on thirty years and occasionally we'd put a show on for the patients - one year we had the script for Aladdin - I was Aladdin and had to sing "Bachelor Boy" Well I was so nervous I took a bottle of sherry with me - don't drink normally - and kept taking swigs out of it before going on stage -must have downed half the bottle when I realised my lips felt like rubber - one of my colleagues walked me around the corridors and gave me a Fisherman's Friend to suck!!! Eventually it was my turn to sing - the organist said he'd give me a nod so I'd know where to come in - missed the nod the first two times and then got it - what was so shaming was the patients in wheelchairs at the front of the audience were asking nurses to take them back to the wards :-D :-D :-D

Poor love Ann :-D :-D

Our class at High School won the singing competition, I stood in the middle at the back and mimed... at practice I would throw in the odd few words and the others around me would think it was very funny.

But my youngest sang in the Madrigal choir at school and the eldest has won prizes on Karaoke nights when she was in her partying years before parenting.

I was doing a PRS job in a pub with karaoke.

All the usual smart young things stepped up and sang flat and awful and then the scruffy looking regular drinker did a note perfect, lovely, tuneful version of Amore (the Dean Martin one ).

Then he shuffled off back to the bar with his roll-up.

Looks like I might see some of you on Krapaoke night :-D

In my drinking days it was'The Black Velvet Band', every time. All the way through without there even having to be karaoke.
