Overheard at the LFGSS golf club bar

Price isn’t an issue

The absolute BUZZ of hitting the Sainsbury’s wine aisle with 25% off six or more bottles and £85 quid of Nectar points

But the Peroni is in the next aisle along...

Can’t knock a nice Malbec though.

dinner all at le manoir aux quat saison.

You could have picked any half dozen words from that post!

our last house

I liked the idea of an electric shower in the en suite

Sting's Fields of Gold

🌽🌽🌽

Sting? Phil Collins (e.g. Sussudio) or Huey Lewis and the News, surely? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual.

My band played a wedding at a golf club in Surrey once. The father of the bride didn’t want us to play. After the first set he gave us an extra £800 to fuck off. Then him and his mates from the golf club hit the floor to Lionel Ritchie

Ok we weren’t a great band but we weren’t that bad

That made me laugh!!

hit the floor to Lionel Ritchie

not the ceiling?

Oh what a feeling!

You must have been good band to be 2nd on the bill after Lionel Ritchie.

£800

I've been in bands that have toured for over a month at a time and come away with significantly less than £800 (closer to £0, not including loss of earnings for time off work). I'd see that as a massive win!

I have to say my experiences of touring and playing originals vs playing Mr Shiteside at weddings is far less lucrative. It has some dignity though..unlike the emptiness felt as you thump through Chasing Cars at the end of the night.

My band

Thinking of a walnut grill panel with copper woven wire mesh over it

Table salt is for pikeys

“Pikeys” wow

Who said this? - have now found the comment.

I see you have had to dig out a comment from 13 years ago. If you look for that derogatory term it was common useage in the early days of lfgss but has been pretty heavily moderated by users as the forum community evolved and become more inclusive.

Bit of an old one that, vintage LFGSS
