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:

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.

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.

Don't waste your time away thinking about yesterday's blues
