'The Mothers'

Back in the 60's, man, my brother was a seriously decent guitarist and much wanted by a few bands.

He dressed accordingly in a Hendrix style with purple crushed velvet trousers, masses of hair, bandana etc.

One day I was absolutely knocked over when a band came over to OUR HOUSE to jam with him and see how they got along. They were all dressed in an ultra way-out look and puffed strange fags through thick Mexican moustaches.

Despite being the nerdy younger brother, I tried to be cool and hip in front of these "Heads".

Alas, the toxic Bohemian mood was somewhat shattered when the door from the kitchen opened, our mam's head popped through, surveyed the scene and said: "Are you going to be making that bleddy horrible twanging sound?"

:oops: :oops: :oops:

can anybody join?

I wear 'big' jeans and that seems to embarrass the kids enough, they are so comfy tho, can't tuck anything into these hipster things but apparently I'm not supposed to do that either. At least the Tigers shirt goes over the top so they will walk with me on match days!

You most certainly can join Lily T. All we ask is that you take on a ludicrous nickname beginning with D. Dolores, Delilah, Desirée and Demelza are taken. Help yourself...

You really want to be a Mother? Debollocks it is, Tigerman. Welcome. Are you blonde? Then you could be Goldie Debollocks.

Have the Mothers ever had a successful meeting where you've all turned up at the venue?

Surely by the time you've taken 4 hours in the bathroom to get ready, filled your husband's diesel powered car with unleaded, broken down, got lost owing to your inability to read a map, burst into tears, phoned your husband to tell him what a pig he is for letting you get lost.....

Never mind dear.

Meet you all outside Kin's gaffe in 15, ladies. Don't forget the knitting needles.

Oooh, sorry about the "ladies" Goldie Debollocks!

Force of habit. At least we'll be able to find our way now we have a man amongst us

Wrong on all counts, Kin:

I don't need 4 hours in the bathroom - 2 will do
Hubby doesn't have a diesel powered car
QED it doesn't break down
My map reading skills are legendary
Well maybe nearly all counts
Have never told my husband he is a pig for getting me lost

Easy answer - if it isn't on a bus route, I get a taxi. It's amazing how many taxi drivers get lost!

hmm

Methinks Kinny just likes being reprimanded severely...or beaten to a pulp ;o)

1. Washed, dressed, hair straightened, make up done and out of the house in 25 minutes tops.
2. I have my own car. It takes petrol.
3. I have Green Flag breakdown cover for that
4. I have a Sat Nav, eyes, and a tongue to ask for directions (the latter being something most men rarely utilise)
5. Have only ever rung husband in tears when I got to Huddersfield for a concert and realised I had the wrong tickets with me.

I think that Arran straight jacket looked really nice on him. Well done team. Matching manacles ready for tomorrow please.

Can anyone knit a gag?

I could do mittens. And sew them into his sleeves. That should fix him.
