I was recently made the top bod of a folk society, and managed to make myself look like a right tit on more than one occassion...

Is this a bad way for a 'responsible' folk group leader to behave, or do you think it will set the stage of further antics(hopefully not from me!!)?

someone else tell me about looking like an idiot when drunk (on only 2.5 pints I'd like to add), so that I dont feel quite so embarressed?!?

If you can get drunk on only a small amount of alcohol, it's a good sign. Besides, it's less expensive. My advice: keep it to small amounts, your body will thank you. I'd ask what a "right tit" looks like, but I don't want to be offensive... :-)

I like your posts. You are going to fit right in around here.

Practice sobriety and celibacy for six months while doing your best to be a good leader. Then, let us know how it seems to you.

The problem with a lot of the folk clubs I've been to is a lack of beer drinking, which leads to people going to pubs that sells crap beer. People who turn up, then get there instrument out, have half then promptly go home, which then leads to the thinking of, "Well we all drive let's get to a pub sodding miles away cos the land lord said he'll put us a good pork pie on".
And the above leads to people who don't know the club thinking there a bit clicky aren't they
Ups rant over. Sorry

Put full stops in there god-damit!!

MY group goes to decent pubs (hence beer-->drunk), and do a nice bit of sessioning as well. Not bad. Know what you mean though - I'm involved in another group and they break in the middle and have tea and biscuits!! And they wonder why they never get any new/young blood in!!

At a ceilidh they held recently there wasnt even any alhol, just a small amount of 'smuggled' tanglefoot for those in the know, and fruit juice...and they call themselves folkies!!

I think the left tit deserves as much attention as the right.

'Making myself look stupid with beer' is traditional among folksingers. It is a by-product of drinking it as a inhibition reducer.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt.    Really.

And, like Pussycat, I get merry nowadays on the smell of a barmaids apron, too.


Go on, I left myself wide open deliberately.

becoming the "top bod" of any folk society/group/club would be enough to drive anyone to drink so don't worry about it.

In the early days of going to an unnamed folk club, the guest turned up and had to step over a drunk lying on the floor. They went to the bar and asked where the organiser was.

The barmaid pointed to the drunk and said “Down thereâ€쳌

pussycat: I was thinking last night that if a few beer turns you into a 'right tit'--well, do you have a girlfirend who is similarly affected by beer? If you do, then she could turn into a 'left tit', and you could then walk down the street, TWO ABREAST!

Just thought I'd give you all an update.... had our usual piss up session last night, and I managed to only drink half a shandy!!! Ok, you may say I'm turning into a sort of pansy, but at least I can still get drunk on thurs without feeling so guilty, and I dont have a hangover... and more importantly, I DIDN'T KISS ANYONE!! (not even that girl, a family memebr, or stray goat.....)

thought tah probably deserves a round of applause!! ;-)

Slightly off the point but I once went to suss out a club in the back room of my local hostelry. The club got the room for free and then most of the girlies in the room brought their own ilicit supplies of gin, vodka etc in their handbags and only paid for the odd bottle of tonic or soda. How cheap can you get? The blokes were person-fully trying to drink the beer though.

Well Pussycat, your recipe of beer and hot girl on girl action will I'm sure enliven your little folk club no end. But I am just the teensiest bit suspicious of your credentials. Would your name just happen to be Dave, really?

To the best of my knowledge, I have never come across this lady - or even met her. I must admit she does sound as if she could be a long lost relative of the pneumatic, myopic, and oversexed Avril. Anyway, the aforesaid lady only rarely makes herself stupid with beer - usually it's Gin, Whisky, Brandy, Rum, Wine, or if she's slumming it strong cider.

I suspect that she's not always a drunk as she pretends to be - it's funny the way that blokes get attracted to an inebriated female - and in the morning she only get's blamed for unwise drinking - she usually receives pity for anything else that has ocurred.

Perhaps Pussycat has the same idea.

Alchohol will kill off the weak brain cells leaving the stronger ones to survive. So if you drink more then per se you must get more intelligent and you cannot make a tit of yourself ;-)

My wife however does not agree with this theory.

Making yourself look stupid provides joy and entertainment for those around you. It should be greeted with the same thanks and care as the daily good deed. Beer only helps us to be more giving.
Last Christmas I was picking up a not so well known friend from the airport. We went to opposite ends of the baggage terminal to look for a baggage cart. I found one first and headed back to the small croud of people waiting at the one baggage outlet. As my friend was still looking for a trolley I called out his name. He turned around just in time to see me take a small run up and lean to skid on my trolley. As there were no bags to balance my weight, the whole thing flipped up, landed on me and slid accross the floor with me between all the waiting passangers and their friends. I then had stand around with all these people and wait for his bag. It was a great experience for the two of us to get to know each other and provided a lot of joy for all the people around us. No beer needed. I am a better person for it.

Tell you what I REALLY hate...
is drunks that get ignorant and misbehave, and then expect you to give them all the leeway in the world just because "its the drink".
GRRRRRRR
Especially the leery old git that puts its arms round you & leans in really close.... smelly old beer breath...AND they're invariably old and ugly.
And as for the old git that kept asking loudly ALL THE WAY THROUGH OUR SONG whether Om & I had our knickers on...... double grrrrrr.
I'd BAN alcohol if it wasn't so nice.....

I have a friend (quite a bit younger than myself) who has a habbit of, if she thinks that someone actually is thinking that sort of thing, she will do it....

for example, she lives by the Thames, and a long rowing boat came passed her living room window,complete with 4 rowers and a caller at the front, all males. They seemed to be looking through her window as they rowed passed (here house is v. close to waterside), so she decided to lift her dress up and flash them as they passed by, at which point all rowwers went v. goggle-eyed and red faced (some were middle-aged, I believe, and quite possibly from the Oxford set (wouldnt surprise me).

Another example is when she'd just had her nipple pierced, and decided to show it off at a party (of her dad's friends, I might add!!), luckily, this was just BEFORE her dad walked into the room, although I'm not convinced this would have deterred her....

and all these antics without the smallest wiff of beer (and thats more than can be said about me!!)

Pussycat I remember talking to a group of trainees once about poisons, we were working our way through symptoms and signs when they began to falter. I asked if they wanted a clue and my husbands cousin piped up "YES" so I said "Think of Saturday night" Willies answer was in his very long very slow drawl "Weel Jenny says I act daaaaaaaaaft" strange non of them had ttrouble rhyming of the signs and symptoms at their exam.
