Guess who came to my door Saturday morning?

by Nosferatu in

..... burton cummings!

he said that he likes my music and will do everything in his power to get me a recording contract!

so we sat and had a few beers, and shot the bs for a while.. yeah right, i wish.. it was actually the not so musically talented jws who came to my door.

I had a couple of dubs call on me a few years ago. They did not know me and as soon as they started their spiel I burst out "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I HAVE JUST BEEN PRAYING THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN IN MY LIFE 'COS I'V EBEEN FEELING SO LOW AND LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER TO ALL MY QUESTIONS!"

Their faces were a picture. I think they were already planning to relay the experience at the next circuit assembly.

Unfortunately I could not keep up the facade for long and had to tell them I used to be 'in' but now am 'well out.'

being a baby dub in the 70's

by katiekitten in

im from a small backward industrial town in the north of england.

in the 70's when i was a kid no-one had a car.

we used to meet for field service on the street corner and have a pep rally right there, then stand in a circle and say a prayer.

I was praying no-one from school would see me with this bunch of misfits.

Hi Lou... As you well know I too suffered terrible embarassment. I had an awful camel coloured overcoat passed down to me from a slightly older brother, which had been passed down to him from his slightly older 'real' brother. It would have even looked old fashioned on my grandad.

I used to grimace wearing it as we walked to the kingdom hall during my dad's "we'll try get by without a car" phase.

Unfortunately I got spotted a few times by mates from school. I had to resort to the "I was going to a wedding" excuse when I was questioned about my smart appearance the following week. "What? carrying a brief case? And that's the 4th wedding you've been to this month!" was the usual response I got.

Music that debases

by katiekitten in

which albums did you throw out after that landmark talk at an assembly round about the mid 80's?.

i got rid of:.

elo (widely regarded as having back tracking on one song).

chris1525

I too had to get rid of all my Queen albums. All cos of one line my Dad read hich said "Dance with the Devil, sing with the band".

It did the trick. I left the truth a few years later, replaced the albums I had binned, plus a few hundred even more debased ones.

Guess what? I haven't been "destroyed at Armageddon" yet.

Eat my shorts Big J.

Embarrassed By Parents

by chris1525 in

My Dad once gave a talk directed at the young persons in the cong. I was probably about 13 or 14 at the time.. a hormone on legs.. the blood vessels in my face ready to fill at the slightest opportunity making look like a redder than red beetroot. During the talk my Dad took it upon himself to continually refer to us kids as "You Young Men & Virgins." Makes me cringe now just thinking about it.

On another occasion someone elses Dad (you know who you are if you are reading this) was stood at the back of the hall doing the roving mikes. The speaker referred the audience to a scripture. there was the usual rustling of pages before the speaker started to read from the verse. As sometimes happened, and probably still does, the speaker had quoted the wrong chapter or verse or something. There was a confused few moments as the eager audience frantically tried to find where he was reading from. At this point the good intentioned chap stood at the back (who had found the correct location of the scripture) decided to write this in large black letters on a piece of paper and then wander down the aisle showing to the audience that they should actually be in the book of Revelenesis instead of Exodistcles. I just remember looking over towards the son of the chap, who was a similar spotty age to myself, and watching him die before my eyes.

I also remember the look on the speakers face, it simply said "what the hell are you doing man?"

Probably funnier at the time.

The Story of Uncle Malcolm

by katiekitten in

this is a great story and its totally true.. peter kay says that when you are a kid you have loads of aunties and uncles, your uncle bob because he once borrowed your dads orbital sander and your aunty mary because your mum goes to weight watchers with her.

i thought it was a witnoid thing, or maybe a north of england thing, or even a 70's thing.. uncle malcolm was (is) an elder in my childhood congregation, a little wiry bloke in a flat cap and painters overalls.

lived in a council house opposite my nana's with the ample aunty jean, two large shiftless sons and lots of budgies.

chris1525

I have to say every word that Katie (Hi Lou) has said about Uncle Malc and Aunty Jean is totally true. I was in the same cong. The two sons, Andrew & John I beleive, bear an uncanny resemblance to the Proclaimers (geeky Scottish twins, popular group in the 80's for those not in the know).
