RIP all.
(John observed that Barry Manilow hasn't been looking to well recently either!)
We remain bewildered regarding this adornment of his guitar ...
 |
| Is it something to do with refined tuning? |
Sylvia brought an instrument of exquisite shape ...
 |
| "Please can we play something in D?" |
We recycled our milk bottle tops ...
 |
| Please save the planet by using this facility. |
Then we got on with the proper business of making/sharing/recycling music and song.
Not content with the losses documented above, Sylvia cried out for death!
Angela obliged ...
 |
| Bury me under ... |
 |
| What more reasons do you need to die? |
We engaged the other customary themes.
The weather seemed to be important ...
 |
| Bloody January again! |
 |
| Frost turns cobwebs to stone. |
Paul was observed to be playing his kazoo upside-down ...
 |
| "Ah ..." said Berry. "That's where I've been going wrong!" |
Dogsbody abandoned emotional continence as Les performed ...
Mike sang of an old church bell ...
 |
| ... no longer ringing. |
Roger sang of an outlaw of great notoriety ...
Debbie and John posed a grammatical conundrum ...
2 + 2 = 4
4 + 4 = 8
... and so forth.
Of course, the above is arithmetically correct.
Consider this grammatically, however ...
Should it be 'two and two make four'?
Or should it be 'two and two makes four'?
If that word 'two' is a singular noun, the verb would be 'makes', not 'make'?
On the other hand, there are two twos. It becomes plural, for which the verb becomes 'make'.
Ken, being the authority on all things grammatical and lexicographical, we eagerly await his verdict on this paradox.
Have I just mentioned Ken?
Yes, well, see this www.eastergateplayers.org.uk
Ken will shortly be appearing thus-clad ...
 |
| ... and shaven! |
We went home in the secure knowledge that none of us would need to tell lies about where we had been ...
Now remember ...
We will not be meeting on Friday, 29th January.
All back to normal on Friday, 5th February onwards.

I feel the need to put to bed the unjustified ugly rumour that has it that Ken will be "returning" to normal. I have it on the very strongest authority {Stravinsky & Shostakovich in particular), that no such event will ever take place. Indeed it is more likely that the Berlin wall will be rebuilt. If there is ever in train the slightest chance of normality, the responsible Minister shall say a prayer and stand down. Calls for a full scale investigation into possibilities and probabilities must be put on hold at least until the pantomime that is his life draws to a close. I really must insist upon your full support in this matter. I hope that is clear!
I don't much like your tone if I may say so Special Bitter. It smacks of insider trading and associated knowledge that is being inappropriately applied to a fellow member who is known for and proud of his eccentricity. We should not judge nor seek to judge upon that which may be construed as normal. Ken is just another man. He has no more about him than that other fellow we call Blenkinspot. Pity about the rain don't you think?
My oh my London Apprentice - it seems you maybe confused within your personality. How can you - of all souls - pronounce on what would be "normal" ?? Then vultures have started to circle waiting their chance to swoop upon the dame who leads the amusement. Of course he is in even worse confusion. That ultimate confusion we usually call gender. This is now perfectly legal in our society and we must not yield to calls for its abolition no matter from whence such calls should emanate. There I rest my case and temple.
