Rat a phewy

Another brilliant night at the Oak. The Band were on fire tonight and the room was packed. Enjoyed a couple of solos and a slushy one. Spent a quick hour on the show pad today and it is obvious that I have some work to put in ,to overcome the other problems. Out and about today I bought something called Game Keepers Pie. I had it for tea and immediately wished I hadn't as I felt sick. Roy the wallet told me what was probably in it, but I think he was exaggerating when he said Rat!!! Mind you I did eat horse meat in Belgium once, but did not know until after. An initiation that used to take place in Cyprus amongst all the foreign bases was something called a 'Nig Drink' No this wasn't racist but a term used for a new guy or visitor to the camp. On the roof of the building they would have a liquid container that was filled with stale beer, dead insects, maybe a dead rat or two plus other things I wont mention.That would then marinate for months on end,and yes, you guessed it, you had to drink it. Yummy it was good....not. But a definite character builder!! Hic.
