The end for the Argyle Style?


Just back from an early stint at the gym. I wasn't really in the mood so me and Joy just watched a DVD.
I have a band update for you all:
The Argyle Style had band practice last night.
EVERYONE was there. Jally STILL can't speak English, Penny is STILL a cow and Spencer, well Spencer and I are at LOGGERHEADS.
The conversation went like this:

Spencer: Stay with the rhythm, Meteor (he ALWAYS uses JUST my surname when his is cross)
Me: Watch me spin my drumsticks!!! lol. DEFO moving up in chick status!!!
Spencer: (Shouting) STOP SPINNING YOUR DRUMSTICKS AND TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY
Me: (Puts drumstick down my trackies to make everyone think I've got MASSIVE erection) *Even though 'you had to be there' I'm SURE you can picture it and laugh lol
Spencer: I'M WARNING YOU
Penny: (tuts)
Jally: I am aff to confess, zis is defanatly ze funniest sing i have see since the 'ole time I am in England.
Me: Why are we practising anyway? We have never had and probably never WILL get a gig...

And then we went to the pub and BARELY spoke to each other.

My ONLY regret is that our LEGENDARY metal cover of Life is a Rollercoaster by Ronan (LEDGE) Keating may NEVER see the light of day...

Erection. ha ha!

That reminds me of a true tale from days working on Oldham Councils Town Planning hotline. One day, I had a call that went something like this:

Me: Hello Town Planning, Chad speaking, how may I help?
Some chick: hi.. I'd like to make a complaint about my neighbour
me: what has he done?
SC: hes got a big erection in his back garden, and I can see it from my kitchen window
me: errrr... can you throw a bucket of water over it? that should reverse the effects..
SC: what? hes erecting a statue in his back garden.
me: ooooh! why didnt you say? A statue of what?
SC: it appears to be a 7ft statue of Chaddy the Owl (no relation to me)
me: a 7ft OWL statue?
SC: yes, and not even a real owl, but the Oldham Athletic mascot
me: yes, I know who Chaddy is thanks very much missus...

this went on for ages..

then I hung up on her. the demented cow.

That story STARTED off as hilarious, then turned VERY nasty.

Actually, one of my teachers at primary school used to drive an old land rover and the last 3 letters of the number plate were OWL. True Fact.

He also is in a band. A Jazz band. And they're so MASSIVE they played at The Lamb pub. True Fact.

Now look what you've made me do... I'm starting to comment like you.

Jeez... i really should go blog something. Owl related.
