Ok so i'll include a B&S story in this post even though I come out not looking very good at all. The first time I ever heard them was on the eve of my mates wedding. We had already been and done Amsterdam for the weekend and seeing as though we're supposed to be modern men went out for a 'quiet one' so my mate wouldn't be wrecked on his big day. Down to the local boozer in Stockton Heath (Warrington) and a good night had by all, piled down to my mates with a few lads for a nightcap and at about 1.00am I called my (then) girlfriend to say i'd be around to see her. Popped around and was instantly given a tablet, well it would have been rude not to, her mate was there and we had a mini-music night (tell you about a proper one another time). Anyhoo just as I was peaking her mate put on modern rock song (still my fave although The model's close) and yes, that voice etc...this was now my band. Another pill at 6.00am (I was still in control of course!) everything going swimmingly well, got to 11.00am my girlfriend went to bed and I was sat with her mate on the couch thinking, "By God, i'm going to the first one at the church, no one would ever believe it". Then of course it all went wrong. Quite badly although it could have been worse. Just before I should have left the house i thought i'd go and say bye to Michelle who was asleep. Well I couldn't leave without giving the cutie pie a kiss and cuddle could I but you obviously know what happened as soon as my head hit the pillow. Because I wasn't at home no one could get hold of me, luckily someone got hold of Michelle's mobile number and woke me at, at, at, at, freaking 4.00pm Saturday afternoon (good job it wasn't the match). Drove straight away to pick up my suit (missed the wedding of course but had to show my face) the dry cleaners was shut I couldn't believe it! Phoned them from across the road and strangely a worker was still in there ironing his shirt for the night (gave him a hefty tip for saving my life...Don't close at Four on Saturday's again). Down to the reception amazed looks off my mates (who all thought I was dead) the only thing was that I couldn't be seen to be having fun because of my lateness. When I remembered hearing modern rock song halfway through the night it really cheered me up and some say that it wasn't me who made the biggest mistake of the day (Two people joined at the hip for eternity for Christ's sake!). On a completely unrelated note i wrote a world cup preview for our works magazine (who wouldn't print it as they deemed it offensive) on word, if anyone want's one give us a bell, so to speak & i'll send it. Had to write it mainly for people who don't like football (virtually everyone in here, even most lads! this is Amsterdam though) I couldn't pass on the chance to take the piss out of 32 countries although by mentioning Scotland and Australia I made it 34. If you get even one laugh then it would have been worth it, tis gratis after all. I'm off out tonight to try and recapture the form I had first time I heard B&S which you now know. Glad I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. Rock on.
