The Quireboys
A wee while back some friends and I decided that in our infinite wisdom we wanted to go to a Quireboys gig. It might have been because we were pissed, or possibly because we were young, or most likely because it was the only gig happening in Cambridge that evening.

The gig started with a band called The Raiders of Rock and Roll (shite), progressing to Tokyo Dragons (too rubbish for words) and finally the wrinkly veterans themselves, the Quireboys.

That night they had decided dress as 'flouncy-cuffed' pirates. This didn't go unnoticed. During the interval, the lead singer said:
'I could tell you some stories.....'
To which we replied:
'Tell us about the time you lived on a pirate ship. The pirate ship. Shiver me timbers. Arrrrgh.' at a high volume.
The poor bloke could only look on in pity at the giggling gaggle of drunk girls and say 'Yes, pirates.'

The first and last time I've heckled.

Sorry. Bit crap wasn't it?

Lucky Strike
My sister told me this, and I almost believed it.

There used to be a cigarette company called Lucky Strike, and one in every one-hunderd Cigarettes made had cannabis in it. Thus you would be lucky if you got it. This was years ago, when smoking was recomended to asthmatics.

But sadly they are no longer about, since the law has changed making that sort of thing illegal. The company went bust because the cigarettes were cheep and horrid, so without the temptation of the weed nobody bought them any more.

The first time we did mushrooms......
We really didn't know what was going to happen. But my mate was convinced that she has pissed herself, and needed to borrow some clean trousers. She hadn't, and wouldn't believe me that she had not pissed herself. I couldn't work out why I was a short little white girl, rather than a big tall amazonian type black woman. We both turned into tartan, and danced a little jig. Kurt Cobain's spirit had taken residence in my wardrobe, and we had a little chat with him. And my brother's phone was a little white mouse in his pocket, that scrambled up his shirt and sat on his head.

Then it just went really weird. Weird and scary. We were convinced that we were being taken over by the bad evil stoned us, and that we had to fight, so we could go to work the next day. There was also some mention that we were not in fact in a house. But a box decorated like the living room flying about in space. And that the dog barking outside was not there, but it was a recording that THEY were playing through the wall to make it seem like we were in a house.

After some grub we came down, and were deeply embarrassed.

Lucky strike....
Now what you have to understand is that:
1. I don't smoke.
And 2. I was told this by a sister who doesn't smoke either.

So there is going to be a large amount in factual incorrectness'.

Jugs...
My younger brother when small, went through a stage of pissing in a jug or cup of somesort. And then leaving it on the toilet cystern upstairs. Nobody knew why he did this.

/edit/He also came down one evening with the amazing account of how he had managed to do a poo in the shape of a deer. That if we wished we could go upstairs and witness this fecal feat. And so we did. And yes, it did indeed look like a deer. The wonders of a 4 year old.
