Open Microphone Night

A bit late posting this, as 'Open Microphone Night' was actually on the 23rd September in my local the Fox and Crown. It wasn't really a roaring success, as Andy the landlord hadn't really advertised it well so not many played, erm you could count them on one hand in fact!

Each person got to play 3 songs of their choice, only with a few turning up to play they got to play much more!

Here's a photo of my old man playing!

Baker's Banter

So, I was in the bakers in town today when I turned and noticed the guy in front of me was none other than the actor that plays Eric Pollard in Emmerdale (ITV, weekdays, 7pm)

He lives on the outskirts of town, I've seen him before a couple of times, The actress that plays Edna Birch lives in a village nearby too.

As I order some bread, he orders some cakes and jokes with the very attentive staff he intends to munch on the cakes later in the car.

The two female staff remain really polite and are all smiles till the moment he leaves.
Then one turns to the other and says;

'My lad went to school with his lad, my lad says his lad is a bit of an arse!'

The people in the shop burst out into fits of laughter.
