Yes you were, come on admit it,....Dave wont be back for a month anyway. Dave and his million baht Coca Cola.

How is it that Dave just happens to turn up when there is a thread about music ????

Drop me a PM if the answer isn't really for the open board.

I hadn't heard of that too be honest although its long before I arrived here, Mary & Snowman have full performing work permits.

I like going to Blue Factory now and then but as I said before there is always some fat mong who decides the band need his services. It's just one of my pet hates. Same as some people hate falangs getting up on the poles. When I see that it totally ruins my evening and I leave. Not just in yours, anywhere.


Why don't you employ some bouncers who stove peoples heads in if they try to get up and sing?

No probs mate, I actually agree with alot of what your saying, I sometimes cringe at what goes on on the stage.
