BS: CAPTION COMPETITION

Subject: CAPTION COMPETITION
From: Gareth

CLICK HERE and read on whilst its loading.

Now many of you will have seen the various threads over the past months on the subject of Public Entertainment Licences in the UK so abley sponsored by Roger Gall known to Catters as "The Shambles".

This star of Radio and T.V. has made it big into the "Western Daily Press" a regional paper covering the West of England, from Bristol to Cornwall.

As you can or will see (load Damn You, Load !)This was a rather nice colour picture of Roger in the Cove Inn, with the Landlord.

Roger made the mistake of suggesting that this could be the subject of a Caption Competition (and come to think of it a Song Challenge)

Rather than bury this in a thread on PEL I have taken the liberty of starting a thread for this.

Come on - lets have your captions !!

I suppose my caption would be "I'm the only one playing - now bugger off!"

Most of the grainy people in this pub tended to look the other way, or pretended to enjoy that guy with his over sized mandolin, whenever Alfonse (pictured background, 2nd from the right) did his "Cat bathing" interpretive dance...

"We let him in cause he eats all the stuff that falls on the floor", the barman told us for a fiver, "food or not."

The musician was unavailable for comment. Sources close to him (like "Little Boy Blue" aka, "Dark rum, one ice cube") say he's out looking for hair treatment products...

"It can't be easy", confided one of the barmaids later in my hotel room, "to work so hard to learn such a goofy instrument, only to be up staged by some wackos party piece. If only all entertainment was as easy as just going off yer meds."

Never tire of the road eh?

"See, when he starts playing that there banjo, I pulls this here fake pump, that operates the trapdoor under his stool, crash bang wallop, down he goes, we gets a nice quiet bar and you can see the telly again!"

2. "Are you the bloke what put the Viagra in my mandolin case?"
3. "No, I didn't say bazooka."
4. "We don't do parodies in this pub, mate."
5. Friendly English folk musicians, always on the spot with a smile and a song.

When Clive Dunwiddy produced his balalaika and encouraged the bar patrons to join in on the chorus of The Volga Boatmen, the response was most often luke-warm.

Keep them coming. I will be handing the judging over to Dr Kim Howells our Minister of Culture (who had just rushed out of shot).

Just a word of warning from those pictured (and insulted) - "We know where to find you".

There is no truth in the suggestion that Roger (The Shambles) has put a price on the most compromising picture of yours truley at Llanstock or Stoney Stratford.

What is it with all these Taliban references? After all this is the Cove, not the Cave...........

See Help music in my country and hopefully you may understand what this has been all about (or maybe not).
