A couple of weeks ago, one of the wife's work colleagues and her husband came over for some food and BOOZE. The husband plays guitar in some sort of rock / blues cover band, and I ended up drunkenly agreeing to audition for them as their drummer's just left. Thing is, I'd managed to forget all about it until my lovely wife rang me from work this morning and said 'by the way, that audition's tonight at eight'. Cue swearing, flapping and frantic searching through the garage and various cupboards for drums and stuff. I havent even played since returning to Yorkshire four years ago, and I have a sinking feeling that this band plays Thin Lizzy covers and suchlike, and they dont seem terribly familiar with irony. Arse!

walk in and tell them all you only play in 5:4, if they look at you funny or question you then shout "THATS IT, 27:62 IT IS THEN!" and go bezerk on the kit, kick it over and set fire to your hair then walk out.

Thing is ski, I dont actually want the job - I just drunkenly agreed to it and now it's too late to back out. They've e-mailed me a set list, and there's far too many Free and Bad Co. covers on there for me.

Got it - put on my latest knitted catsuit (optional 'peek a boo' genital aperture), turn up completely mullered on cough medicine and out of date antibiotics, smear 'help me' on the wall in my own faeces and then ask 'do you do any Bolt thrower covers?'

What do you call someone who hangs around with musicians?
A drummer.

Did you hear about the bass player who locked his keys in the car?
He had to break a window to get the drummer out!

Were they all drunk too, is their recollection of the conversation likely to be as hazy as yours? If so, turn up to the audition dressed in a Fair Isle jumper with an carrying pipe and an accordion.

Well my dears, it was simply gharstley! Too too awful. However, I was fabulous, and after a couple of restorative sherries, I shall reveal all...

They (at various times) complained I was 'too effing fast' and the bass player (who was wearing a tie dyed skull t-shirt) asked me, apparently seriously, if I was a 'punk rocker'. I am 50. He, however, appeared to be a cockweasel of the highest order.

I think I knew two of their 'numbers' - alright now and sweet child o' mine, but the rest, my dears, were a terrible, terrible blur. Who the devil are wishbone ash? And just what is it they do? Oh, and 'knocking on heavens door - that was the one, apparently, where I was too effing fast. Mrs Mitch is reading this over my shoulder and has just pointed out that that one is supposed to be a slow song. She knows nothing. NOTHING! And I, drunk on cider, am a punk rocker, so eff off, you effing buggers!

Sadly Diane, I am as bald as a coot. I could however, if I was sufficently enraged, set fire to the hair on my gentlemans agreement, but that would probably hurt A LOT, and the smell of burning pubes would disturb Mrs Mitch from doing her word search, and there would be HELL TO PAY!
