Ha ha…I really love this…what a great song!
It reminded me of some of the best times we had here…it’s fun and infectious and it’s as groovy as fk. You’re priceless
@pompeyjazz Taxi offices were often where all the bother started after a night out…one night in Consett, our taxi arrived and my mate jumped in the front seat. I’d been chatting to someone, so I came out a few seconds later and there were three guys arguing and trying to get into the cab. My mate told them that this was our taxi and one of them shouted “do you want to get out of the taxi and make something of it, like?” My pal, who was a little anxious, shouted back “No. Do You want to get IN to the taxi and make something of it?” Which didn’t really work at all and only added to the general confusion.
I tried to calm things down with the kindly suggestion of perhaps getting their own taxi as I pushed past them and got in the back seat. The taxi driver panicked and pulled away before I’d got properly sat down, so I had one leg in and one leg out of the car, doing this comedic leg shuffle, like I was trying to push start a skateboard.
At that point, one of them kicked me in the head. Just a glancing blow, fortunately. I shouted at the driver to stop the *#*# car so I could attend to my assailants, but he was a bit spooked and keen to get away. As another kick was aimed at me, I managed to grab the door and half close it, so he didn’t half whack his shin off it as he kicked out again. I then managed to close the door and proceed with our journey. Canny night, though.
What are you using for drums nowadays, John? These sound brilliant.
A triumph!
