Went to Swindon on Sunday afternoon , yes thats where my cous lives. If she'll let me Ill publish her name but shes such a shy retiring soul that she may not want me to.
I had been invited to a soiree at a local house of somewhat ill repute...no Im lying.We were going to see and hear a Beatles tribute band called the Pre Fab Four who also happened to be supported by an all girl group called the Shebeats. Sophie (remember she of the daft face photos in Majorca?) had friends who played in the band and she very kindly agreed to drag her aged Aunt (me) and even more aged and wizened Mum (my cous..who is really three weeks younger than me but quite frankly looks considerably older) to see them and to sit with her and her friends while we imbibed.
We were chauffeured and thus able to drink so several whiskies and gins down the line saw and heard us singing every Beatles song they performed.
It was a magnificent evening.The bands were superb and the She beats, well , if they dont get a contract soon from some music mogul Ill starve myself of chocolate for a year!
They write all their own stuff , look and sound amazing and you can check them out on myspace/the shebeats.
Prefab four were also pretty damn good and the evening was a monumental success.
I stayed the night with my cous and then , just to continue the enjoyment we "retailed " in Swindon on Monday till we dropped. Had a great pub lunch on the way and now Im back home telling you about it.Gonna see if I can find a pic of the band on the internet. She loves you yeh yeh yeh yeh.I sure do!

How very dare you! Having opened my heart and home to my cousin...who I have also considered to be my lifelong confident..... how am I repaid?....with insults about my age! Ah well I guess that due to her disability, (what with her stubb toes and all, her brain doesn't get enough oxygen to see things clearly. However we are both in agreement over the Prefab Four and also the vibrant and talented young Shebeats. A terrific evening despite the fact that SHE thinks she looks younger than me....you have to pity her really!
lol, previous comment aside, great fun nights like the one you just had are just rejuvenating, aren't they?!
Methinks the lady doth protest too much! Yes Alysia, it was very rejuvenating and we were hoarse from singing.
