I could just about manage the tamborine. ;)

I'm not good with musical instruments. In fact when I was at school they didn't want me playing the recorder because I was so bad at it.

In a school pagent I played finger cymbals for the song The Little Drummer Boy and every time I hear it and that sweet little sound, it takes me back in time ... :D ...

:twisted: On reflection, this could be worth a thread of it's own :wink:
Wario will be happy to help you with the poll :lawl:

If it were a Wario poll it would be about which instrument you would rather be. ;-)

:twisted: And what you would be wearing as you were played.

In fact, looking into the crystal ball I got off e bay, I can see that after a series of polls on the subject, Wario would be..............

A banjolele, wearing a day glow orange lycra sheath and purple neck studs, played by an orangatang in a gimp mask and assless golfing pants, and the song would be Come Fly With Me.

I've been on this forum for too long :wtf:

Personally I've always thought of Wario as a plucker :D

I'll be Patti's mic.

whats easier to learn??? guitar or banjo?

No idea. Guitar isn't too difficult just the basics. Banjo looks difficult to me as it is so small, having to have your fingers so screwed up and bridging multiple strings straight away.

might have a go at guitar then lol

Where'd everyone go then?

I'm still here. I should be in bed. You at Birmingham tomorrow?? Or today I should say.

No, Anji's there with Emma, I've got babysitting duties lol

Oh, no ... lol ... I'm sure WarieL would sort out a big band swing version of Masculine ... ;) ... lol ...

thank god the snow has nearly gone...looks like im going to Wembley..hoooray

Thanks for the weather/ snow update, Batty~b. I'd been wondering ... and worrying... a bit... lol ... Good news for all traveling to shows !

Like a summers day here at Wembley today, suns out

I want to write up the dinner menus for the week, but I can't even decide what to have with the turkey breast TONIGHT let alone what with what by Thursday ... :shock: ... lol ... Oh, well. I didn't stick to the menus LAST week so... lol ...

Got the inlaws stopping for 3 1/2 months :yikes: and the father in-law got himself arrested for carrying a pocket knife at Manchester Airport :facepalm:

Just passing were they lol

would love that for the next few days as well please ;-)
the forecasts for london look good tho! still bringing the mr staypuff jacket tomorrow lol !!

Excellent :))

why does the place grind to a halt for a wee bit of snow??????????????

Feels a bit sick, think 20 chicken nuggets was mabe too much :shock::shock: !!

more snow forecast...oh joy

Right then. London.

>>>>moves

wish i was there

I'm off from the day job today and it needs powder paint for the 10th. Thank loaf the paint is at the local outlet so, nooooo problemo ! Big time YAY FOR ME ! ... :lol: ...

Is now waiting for meat loaf and having a great time in wembley

Turns out that it's far more difficult than you'd think to take a photo of the back of your own neck! Really love my new tattoo though.

OMG...someone has hacked my facebook...causing all sorts of problems,gonna stay off it for a while,like to find out who it is though !

I must go to the dayJob today... boo ... lol ...

I'm sorry to hear that :( I hope you get it figured out soon !

Fortunately I'm used to walking long distances. Otherwise I probably would have been stuck in the city with public transportation being canceled and no cabs available. Walking on extremely slippery roads in freezing rain is fun, LOL.

~~~~ it

Brrr... it's cold... and the snow is really piling up outside... :yodel:
Interesting to see how much humans depend on their modern technology and how vulnerable that technology is. Some snow and rain and we're almost back in the 19th century... unfortunately without horse-drawn carriages.

Happy Happy Thursday, meatie peeps !
 

It's unseasonably cold in PhillyTown, but in continuing to try my best to remain positive about life ... lol ... I'm lucky to be alive to feel it ... I guess... :lol: ...

I feel it all the time.:D

The ice better clear soon. I can't walk in it and driving is just dangerous. More snow coming next week I believe.

Don't like being closer to the end than the beginning.

As they say, time flies when you're having fun :(

I'm having surgury on my right eye on January 5th ... but hopefully it won't interfere with me going to the concert in Dover on January 21st !

Best wishes on your surgery and give it the time to recover, then rock that renewed right eye Jan. 21.

Thanks Suzie .. I will :))

Happy Friday, meatie peeps !
 

That's it ! Friday ... yay ! ... :lol: ...

Get used to it, old guy ;-)

Harsh!

Is that the voice of experience?

Quite possibly :-)

:twisted: Dazed, tired, but happy.
Sorry it's over for this tour though :sad:

It's warmed up at bit outside. I didn't need to bundle to the teeth in order to take the mootch out for her morning constitutional... lol ... and that's a good thing. I have some erranding to do today and would hate to be doing it in bitter cold (bussing about; no car).

cant drink too much tonight ( sigh ) early start in the morning

its a shame the tour is over for me but manchester was fantastic it is even better in the front row i think i went death when the concert finished lol

I got all erranding out of the way yesterday, so aside from making a nice roast beef dinner, I think the day should pretty much belong to ... ME ! ... lol ... :D ...

playing with lit candles is not a good idea

Unblock Diesel Filter / Anti Pollution Fault AGAIN?!?! How can this be!? :(

is it vw/audi engine?

the high horse power ones are well known for clogging the dpf

Meet and greet was awesome!!!!!

Peugeot 2.2HDi 140 - also very well known for it :(

good to hear

is it removable??
is it needed??

is it worth gettin a ticket for this tour?

yes
dunno
yes

cant wait for the snow

Very tired. But very happy.

Speaking of candles, why can't I find any bayberry candles in stores ? It's Christmas-time, for Loaf sake ! It was tradition in my family to light a bayberry candle Christmas Eve and let it burn until it was gone. It was for luck, so I'm told and ... lol ... WHO DON'T NEED THAT ? ... lol ... Oh, well, I'll continue my search.

Did you get hit and called a f-wit again? :lol:

Hopefully I will remember to actually breathe during my m&g this time! Looking forward to tonight so very much.

My new smoking apparatus has arrived :-)

For our Christmas meal I will be shoving a beer can up a chicken's arse :-)

its been 4 weeks and a day... i think i'm in the clear... my good luck lives to fight another day

twas a scary drive home in the snow...

not much fun when the wipers stop working... closely followed by the alternator warning light coming on :(

bloody french electrics :evil:
thats now the radio, window washers, front wipers, rear wipers and charging circuit that have stopped working

So not much wrong then. :twisted:

but its still awesome in snow :D

(unlike me other car which i haven't even tried to move since late nov)

my heads as messed up as that cars wiring... twas the wrong thread

rear wiper is now working, altenator light comes on with a flick wipe, and a relay buzzes on front wipers... but no wipers

i give up

Hadn't used the mx5 in weeks. Tried to start it on Thursday and was no prob. Definitely thought battery would be flat by then but there you go

gutted i missed meat on this tour... Never going to trust anyone again... :-(

Note to self ...
 

Leave it alone, tink ... ;) ...

that was the most frightening drive home from work i've ever made...

and i've been driving that road a long long long time
(but never in that car in snow)

i think that was the problem....

took the 106 over the last part of the journey, and it behaved perfectly (apart from the electrics)

happy thought: only 4,5 days left (hopefully)

msns as empty as an empty bucket with a hole in it these days

i blame facebook... or the hole

An observation made to help us Americans understand the severity of the winter weather in Europe ~ the story actually made my local news this morning ... :shock: ... lol ...

PS ~ Whoever here said the Santa hat on the "shock" icon doesn't get the point over properly is correct. It looks sleepy ... lol ...

Wonders if Meat, Patti and Co will be able to fly home for Christmas.. So far flights are looking shit :( !!

Also wonder if my dad and brother will be able to make it home, dad's coming from Hungrey I think where he was working and my brother from Sheffield, not having them here on Christmas day isn't an option, please let the weather hold up :pray: !!!

I'm listening to BBC World News and it sounds very bad for traveling home for Christmas over there ... :( ... Fingers are crossed !

~~~~ me! It's just hit -15 outside! :shock:

There won't be much ~~~~ going on outside with those temperatures.

Even the brass monkeys are wearing willy warmers.

Why don't Cadbury's make a bar similar to the Strawberry Dream from a tin of Roses? :??:

my feet are cold

If I see an Easyjet employee this evening, there is a good chance a lynching is going to happen.

What will 2011 bring, will it be any better than 2010?

+1 ;)

walking home was a bad idea.... don't feel very well now

super excited, going to see Garth Brooks tomorrow night, should be a blast

Excellent :)) I've always wanted to see him live .. it should be a great show !!

Mom and I bumped our cars in the parking lot at the store ... no damage to either car (at least that we could see in the dark :lol:) and nobody was hurt. Just the way to end a crazy day !!

Happy Happy Tuesday, meatie peeps !
 

Oh, wow, Mark ! I'm thrilled for you. You'll have a blast, I'm sure ! I saw Garth back in late 90s. He's alot of fun and the audience is great, too ! I saw a clip on YouTube from last Thursday's 2nd show and he's sounding great ! I look forward to you coming back here and telling us all about it. Enjoy !!! ... xo

Ohh my god! JEALOUS!! I LOVE Garth! A friend of ours is doing all of his shows this week!
