How humiliating! I have managed to never karaoke in my life. Even though I am reasonably good at singing. I might be able to make a stab at an ABBA song or two.

Haven't heard that in years, I think Mr. Wogan used to play it quite a bit.

Hang on a minute while I go and euronate.

This month's Derby Telegraph article, in which we take a virtual tour around this 'dark, satanic mill' - well, not really! http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/going...

Just in case you've read the article and have come to the conclusion that I've finally taken leave of my senses, the drums onto which the girls would wind the crepe paper were 6 foot or 8 foot in circumference, not 6 or 8 inches! :-)

Crepe paper? I take it you've been reconnected? Personally, I thought it was a judgement on you from the Gods of Karaoke ;-)

I laid down to have a nice quiet nap, and then the lights all came on. I was rather disappointed...

Perhaps the dark was afraid of you?

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

And so it should be :)

You hardly ever see crepe paper now, do you? Well, at least, I don't, but the crepe paper streamers used to be a standard item of our Christmas decorations at home and when we kept the pub. I wonder when they dropped out of fashion. The other time crepe paper was a 'must have' was for the May Day celebrations when every child had to turn up at school with a May Pole of sorts, usually involving a hula hoop on a stick artfully disguised by layers of crepe paper! Remember any of that? http://philwhiteland.blogspot.co.uk/2...

Yes, it was a limited medium ☺

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

A limited medium - one who can only contact the spirits of the very ill?

It made me think of Derek whatsisname

Derek Applecore?

He gets on my pip!

Close enough for jazz

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

Well he could probably do with a bit of jazzing up.

Anyone for a partridge in a pear tree?

You'd probably be better off with a guinea fowl in a gooseberry bush.

Any bird in the hand would do!

You try getting (a) into (b) and see how you go on!

[Gingerlily - The Full Wild]

As I currently have neither (a) nor (b), this could prove difficult.

I could get them for you, wholesale [taps side of nose]

No thanks, Del Boy!

For some reason I am reminded of the Song of Ankh-Morpork - We can rule you wholesale.

"When dragons belch and hippos flee
My thoughts, Ankh-Morpork, are of thee
Let others boast of martial dash
For we have boldly fought with cash
We own all your helmets, we own all your shoes
We own all your generals - touch us and you'll lose.
Morporkia! Morporkia!
Morporkia owns the day!
We can rule you wholesale
Touch us and you'll pay.
We bankrupt all invaders, we sell them souvenirs
We ner ner ner ner ner, hner ner hner by the ears
Er hner we ner ner ner ner ner
Ner ner her ner ner ner hner the ner
Er ner ner hner ner, nher hner ner ner (etc.)
Ner hner ner, your gleaming swords
We mortgaged to the hilt
Morporkia! Morporkia!
Hner ner ner ner ner ner
We can rule you wholesale
Credit where it's due."
