Facebook and the local
Friday, 31 October 2008
hey... just went on Facebook there and got introduced to live chat... not the kind of live chat that you get odd emails about... "I have a web cam and I'm alone and randy, wanna live chat" sort of thing... but more the IM ( I'm told that's what it's called)... There's a guy called Gary Curtin (I'm afraid he'd heard all the gags before, and wasn't impressed with mine) has recorded a few of mine songs...mine songs? I mean my songs... check them out if you get the chance. I wouldn't want to be spending too much time on Facebook mind you... you could piss away a lot of precious time, that's for sure... As Van Morrison says "Precious time is slipping away..." ...bet he doesn't piss about with live chat... to busy being wonderful I should imagine.I was round at my local tonight... it was wonderful!!! I can't wait for Joanne to get back so she can come and see it (she's in Belfast)! It like a real life East Enders, but without the boring house scene bits... in fact all of the bits in East Enders are horrifically boring, but if you imagine a pub like the Queen Vic, and what would actually go on in there, it's this place. They had a band on, playing blues and folk all night. A guitar player and a Violin player. The latter had a teddy boy, slicked back hari-do and a pencil thin moustache… he was 54 but only looked 44 (he told me his age)… there was a woman there that looked like a “who” from one of the Doctor Seuss stories. She was vay vay drunk, and dancing like a badly controlled puppet. What a wonderful site it was though… she made me happy to watch. I told her I thought she was a wonderful dancer, and that set her off for the night… every time she passed me she wiggled her hips the whole way through the room and out the door for a good pull on a Mayfair light…
I was there with a friend called Nahim (pronounced Na-eem, case you’re wondering) and we took in the vista with much delight and played pool… I won! Cha ching!!!!

Vic replied about 8 hours after.Stone me ( as Van would say) my mate has been talking about this pub for ages and our band may well turn out there to play "someday" (as Steve Earle would say)
Not very interesting I know but being quite a fan of yours felt the need to express this.
There feel better now!
Mark replied about 13 hours after.Oi..Vance..don't tease us about this Gary Curtains cat covering your songs (does he do it as well as Chantelle I wonder?) without giving us a clue as to where to find em (no joy on you tube search and there are lots of Gary Curtins on facebook). We'll be stuck in facebook forever.
If we all go to the Wickhams Karaoke night will we find you doing 'New York, New York' during last orders I wonder?
