The Incredible Gurning Man

So Monday arrived and now we have a permanent erection in the garden.....Ok ok that was the last erection joke...it's getting hard....(sorry) to think of many more.

The log cabin has been erected and it looks great,two blokes did the work on 14 hours finishing at dark o'clock last night....they kind of would have finished a bit earlier if some pillock hadn't of measured the base wrong although he measured it with his mate a gazillion times. The two blokes had travelled down from Newark and hmmm'd and ahhh'd for what seemed an eternity as they pondered on the fact that it was still going to cost us hundreds of pounds as even though they couldn't do the work ......and that the two rows of slabs that needed to go on the base would set the work back by hours and they had been up since 0230 and blah blah blah.......I flashed some pocket money for them and they set about laying the extra bit of base which took them under an hour.....and they were all packed up at the same time as they were planning to finish.......Good old British workmen ...but they did a cracking job and the studio looks splendid (nobody uses that word any more do they.....today use the word "splendid" in general conversation ...it will make you feel very middle class)

Of course I took pelters from family and friends re the measuring.....and there is the obvious play on words....base and Bass and mucking up of.....Brother dearest the Dark Marge...told me it comes with the territory of being my father's son....he was indeed reknown for his cock ups so it is in the genes I suppose and it is fitting that the Studio will be named after him .......Rommie's Studio........

I took incoming from Mother Dearest .......Whilst on the subject of Mother Dearest ....on Saturday at her resi home ...(scene of the great mobility scooter protest) they had a table top sale....didn't know there was such a market for table tops........(it's actually an upper class word for a jumble sale???!!!) so MD is selling usefull stuff to the other grannies like ski suits and The pop up Karma Sutra , when her selling side kick flies in to a panic.......!!!! She grabbed her Zimmer frame as she said to Mother Dearest who was Bracknell's very own Del Boy for the afternoon "Where's me magnifying glass ? i can't read without it!I put it down on the table " Mother Dearest replied "Oh that went for 20p"

So the two new members of Spriggan Mist are busy learning our songs and we have been learning a new one and a cover . (The drummer decided we weren't for him ........by text no less) but we have another interested but more about him later.

So i ask our new members for some photos to update Myspace and as you know to protect the guilty on these pages of literacy excellance I use blog names for all concerned . So I receive and email with the photo and a message stating that he looked like the world Gurning Champion......I looked at it ready to disagree but I have to say as he is obviously in mid vocal stride he does look like he is gurning ...or at least like someone has just hoofed him in the gonads !!!!
The incredible Gurning man's wife on flute however still hasn't a blog name...it will only be a matter of time before she slips up lets her guard down and the blog name will reveal itself. The gurner boy however as we speak is working out Spirals and will play the acoustic part that wifey plays whilst she sings ......

A drummer has been contacted through Gurning boys contacts...sounds a character....he doesn't use sticks and hasn't played folk since the sixties.....maybe he thinks he uses sticks and the sixties weren't very good to him???? He is indeed a percussionist ..should be interesting
