Mornington Crescent, anyone?

Ok, did you find fame as part of a group rather than as a solo musician?

[JPB]

Yes. I played with a couple of very well known acts and my rôle within their bands meant that I was never the focus of attention, in spite of my job being of equal importance to the bassist's in terms of these acts' overall sound. Leastways that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Where you a drummer

[JPB]

Yes, I was.

[arceye]

Do you share your surname with a Yorkshire city that has a cathedral and a strong railway connection?

[JPB]

I did, now say it before someone else slaps his hand down!

[arceye]

Nah, I'm keeping out of it mate cos I'm off down the line on boxing day for a few days with no computer access

[JPB]

a few days with no computer access

Nope, I don't understand that phrase!

OK then someone else, it's yours for the taking. Probably.

Is it just me, or does that thumbsup emoticon look a bit sad? I think it's portrayed at the counter in A&E, having done its thumb some sort of injury with a hammer.

I'll have no computer, and so no tinterweb with which to access this great forum. I've not yet moved into the realms of gadgets like laptops or mobile phones

[JPB]

Very wise, these things are nowt but trouble!
