I just hope this stands up to your expectations.
Known this guy for years, name of Rrrrum, wildest looking bloke you ever saw, most brilliant guitarist/vocalist you ever saw and heard.
Supports himself mainly working the tables at Jimbarran for roupees from the diners into his hat.
We caught up with him doing a gig at Bali collection on our first night.Tells us he has a single hander at a restaurant in Tanjung Benoa on the Thursday, would I like to sit in. Is the Pope a catholic, do the bears spit in the woods ? Of course, coincidentally the quartet at our hotel don't work on Thursday night so I can get my hands on a bass guitar and amplifier.
Rock up on the Thursday, new restaurant, new management, new staff, new everything, the only thing old there was me. The place is open from the road, filling up nicely, going well, Rrrum and I settling in together nicely, my missus,enjoying a meal and no longer a band moll, thought she'd seen it all and for that matter so did I when in rocks this pair of whatevers.
First thing that is so obvious is that the chick has used so much bottled tan that she is without any question ORANGE, she is wearing so much bling it's rattling, two hours prior to departure would not be long enough for her to go through the scanners. She's got this gownless evening strap on which I presume was velcroed to her breasts
which I might add she carried like medals for valour. Her back is streaked from the tanning giving the impression that she was wearing a Hawthorn guernsey. Her hair, having seen a few bottles in it's day, was yellow. Loved the roots though !
So she swans in very theatrically with a wave that would shame Her Maj, approaches every member of the staff with an air kiss to each cheek and greets them with " Hi Amanda from Peppy Grove, nice to see you all again, lovely to be back."
This is a nothing pretending to be a well known something probably famous in Peppy Grove for not being known.
Oh my God, she's coming over to me and Rrrum." Hello darlings, Amanda from Peppy Grove lovely to see you again," at which moment two guitar necks presented arms successfully to keep the air kisses away.
Question is, does anybody know who the f&@k Amanda from Peppy Grove is ?
Second question, do you want the towel hog story or should I quit ?
