Hiya,

It's like me going to a group where we're all disabled. We might get on, we might be best mates, or we might hate each other. Same as if we met. The good thing is those sort of groups introduce you to people you'd never have got to know otherwise.

I always wondered why some singers don't change the pronouns. I love the 'Frankie & Johnny' reference – I mentioned a recent trip to Frankie & Benny's (love the shakes) & dad started singing "Frankie & Benny were sweethearts'

Here's one:

***********************************************************
I went to a gig with me true love one night
my friends they made some comments, what if they were right ??
& where I was going, I didn't know where
Looked forward to it, as I sat in my chair

My colour was red, my face like a rose
My love, bored s***less, sat picking his nose
I heard the song she was singing, I felt sae sair
that her song wasn't for me, to her I wasn't there

My friend said you look queer, would you rather go
& what I was thinking, they never shall know
Oh, my love he looked at her, it's loud he did sigh
& under me breath so also did I

When the concert it finished "what a shame" I did say
I had no idea things would turn out this way
Since that night my eyes sparkle, friends they do tease
"play her that song she likes, she's bound to be pleased"
I ain't told my love yet, thank God he's good & kind
& he's pretty laid-back so I'm sure he won't mind
