I'm pretty tired, and there's no good reason for this, I'm beginning to think that I do sleep aerobics while teaching advanced mathematics at night, it's the only explanation.
We opened a little late this week, and some of you ended up stood in the cold for a few minutes longer than you would have liked. I need to apologise for this, but it was unavoidable, we'd all set up and were having our Mavis Huddle (Give me an M, give me an A, give me a double Jagerbomb and a nipple massage...), when all of a sudden without warning, in through the window, a woodlands badger!
Little blighter started running round everywhere, played the quiz machine a bit, lost, ate all the electrics, did a tap-dance routine on the bar. We quite liked him, we'd have let him stay for the party, but would you believe it those EU Legimaniacs have passed a law against having badgers on licensed properties, unless the badger is Belgian and solves crimes, and this one was from Skelmersdale and was half way through an NVQ in plumbing. The girls who work the ground floor bar made some brave attempts to capture it using a humane trap they'd whipped up from the contents of their handbags and a lasso made from straws, the boys who work the top and bottom bars stood on tables waving their hands about and getting hysterical, the DJs and security lads went upstairs and played a game of Monopoly. Eventually another badger in a mini-skirt and knee high socks appeared at the fire escape, wiggled her arse and our pipe mending pest was off with his balls between his legs.
We've installed netting on the windows so it doesn't happen again.
Looked like everyone was having fun again last night, you moshed, and danced, and waltzed and twisted and made with the happies. Down in the pit particularly looked like a good one, full praise to Jonny and the Headbangers for a good team effort.
Classic / Cock Rock seemed to make a good few of you happy, how did you find it? Shall we do that one again up there?
Next week we're going all punk & ska etc up the stairs, and proper stuff, we can stick out some Pistols & Clash and all that goes with that, crack open some Dead Kennedys, indulge in the wonderful world of NoFX and Fat Wreck Chords, even go a bit Moon Ska, and onwards. Skankin' pogo good times. There will be Sublime. Start getting your requests in now so we can make sure we've got what you're looking for.
In the meantime, have yourself a good time, and remember, it's better to look a fool for a few days, than not to ask them out in the first place.
Three cheers for the fact I'm not sure how to end this blog. Hip hip....
