Pull (if only)


I would never describe myself as a Binge drinker.
I mean, I have never drank a bottle of Binge in one go.

The start of the Xmas Concert season last night. It is always hard to get motivated on a Friday after just finishing work. In fact one of the musicians went for a kip in the interval, making use of an old sofa in the dressing room.
Every year the Band let off small part poppers in a number called Rocking Around the Christmas tree. I managed to get hold of a couple of industrial ones. By rights you should wear goggles and a helmet to set it off. However, for some unknown reason' it would not fire???
We took it into the corridor in the break and finally it discharged with a mighty bang and a ton of streamers.
I then spent the whole interval, hoovering up the mess it had made? I will have another go tonight, and hope that I don't kill one of the audience members.
Talking of big bangs. I once went clay pigeon shooting in Germany. The picture above is of me trying to hold the shotgun in the correct position, so it would not rip my shoulder off.
I did get it wrong once and boy did it sting.
Last night was the first time I had not had a Xmas drink in years. In fact I have not had a beer in 3 weeks, mainly to see if it made any impact on my tum and mood. I can quite categorically report, that I have just wasted 3 weeks? Ah well, the fight goes on.
