Where are you going tonight?

If you have a life outside of BWFC, then this is the place to tell us all about your toilet habits, and those bizarre fetishes.......

A Sportsman's Dinner tonight in Manchester.

Never been to one, not overly looking forward to it. The guest speaker is Lee Sharpe, with comedian Mike Farrell (never heard of him).

Been to a few AG: Mike Summerbee, Paul Allot, Frank Worthington etc, and they're always good fun. Enjoy.

I'm sure I will once there....although, the thought of spending a night with the Freemasons...unless it's like the Stonecutters?

ive been to a fair few, never really been my thing. said a few years ago i wouldn’t do another one then came out of retirement a for Paul Gascoigne one which quickly reminded why id stopped going.

the sports stars are usually reciting a well worn. outdated script with cheesy over rehearsed punch lines; Frank Worthington was a huge disappointment giving is status, worst was Ricky Hatton, what a cock he is but we knew that anyway. They are sausage fest too, summat unnatural to me sat in a room with 400 hairy arse blokes on the piss. and drunk men in tribal situations like this need women, because if they haven’t a lady to get macho with, they start throwing punches. Thats another thing, it’s usually a massive piss up so the last thing i want after 8 pints is a nice civilised 3 course dinner half way through the night. then the comedians are usually the saving grace. but the one at Gazza was so out of touch i wanted to chin him (no women you see) ignorant, racist, misogynist, and arrogant when he got heckles. absolute prick.

Hope you have a nice time.

Apart from toasting the Duke of York I doubt you'll hear much Masonic stuff on the night. :wink:

Believe it or not General, at one time, years back, everybody stood up for the national anthem at the end of a film at night time before the lights went up. I kid you not.

Went watching Zappa plays Zappa for the second time tonight. Such an amazing band, unbelievably tight and ridiculous musicianship. It's a shame Frank himself stopped touring before I was even born, if ZPZ are anything to go off, his live shows must have been immense.

I saw the ZPZ tour last year in Manchester. They did the whole Apostrophe album in full plus loads of choice cuts like City of Tiny Lites, 50-50, Inca Roads (Inca Roads!!!!!!!), Muffin Man, Baby Snakes, Dancin' Fool. Immense gig, incredibly talented bunch and loads of fun.

This was a 'decades' tour, so they did some Mothers stuff, a few from Roxy, and other stuff from the 70's and 80's. Packard Goose was amazing, they also played an arrangement of Strictly Genteel which I think was the first time they've played it. Scott Thunes also played a few songs as a special guest.

Micky was phenomenal. Also got caught up in the new Twilight premiere. Don't care for the films at all but never seen the hoo-hah of a premiere before. Was pretty impressive!
