Okay Let's go...
Mrs S kindly drove myself and the Quizmaster to the local BEER FESTIVAL
In the car ...
Mrs S: "You've got your ticket?"
S: "Yes dear"
Mrs S: "Money?"
S: "Yes dear"
Mrs S: "Key?"
S: "Yes dear"
Mrs S: "See you tonight then"
S: "Yes dear. Enjoy Miss seagull's dancing competition this evening"
Mrs S: "Yes dear"
We arrived at the venue (early) and queued.
They came out with the BEER vouchers and the souvenir program and eventually the doors opened ... BEER!!!!
A beer for me (Dark Star Hophead) and a 'coffee' for the Quizmaster (Dark Star Espresso) and the festival is off to a good start.
I bumped into several old friends (including Trevor whose wedding caused me to miss Reading v Manure last season), time for more beer, now where did I put my tokens...pat, pat pat...
"Where are my keys? No one will be home when I return this afternoon -that's ok I could go back with The Quizmaster (or the pub!!) but I'm going to the comedy club tonight and will be late and I'll have no key!"
Seagull phones home - no answer
Seagull phones the mobile - no answer
The Quizmaster phones mrs quizmaster and relays Seagulls dilemma to Mrs Quizmaster who contacts Mrs S and resolves the problem - a spare key is secreted in a safe place.
Many beers later I returned home and found the key in said location and let myself in.
As I was home alone and with a couple of hours to kill, I thought I'd play some music.
First up ... Script of the Bridge by The Chameleons (it says play it loud on the tin, so I did)
Next up - nuke the meal that Mrs S had kindly left me
Then - more music - In Absentia by Porcupine Tree.
Then... my 250 keeled over and died
the only other time it has ever done this was when I was visited by The TW Riders!
Moral of the story...
Listen to what your significant other is saying and don't play your music at deafening levels even though you can!
