Title: Secret new device gives aid to ageing artistes
Post by: Edthefolkie on December 15, 2006, 11:04:35 PM
We field tested this device at Croppers in 2001. It has been designed with the aid of NASA to avoid those dodgy moments on stage during 4 hour sets. A technician seconded from Rolls Royce can be seen on the left, and a qualified pharmacist is holding the device itself. A member of the popular group "The Pink Floyd" can be seen observing from the rear (should be useful during those long jams Dave) and another technician directs the device towards the affected band member.

Gives a whole new meaning to the term "p*ss artist" eh? Merry Christmas - Ed  

Erratum  -for "long jams" read "log jams"

Oh dear ... I'v been keeping mine in the sitting room. Maybe a move to the bedroom is appropriate!

And there's me been banging away on it  ::)

Nah, UNDER the bed....Blimey though, somebody else bought one!! Must tell friend Briony who bought the offending article (not in shot, she was cracking up). A certain amount of drink had been taken as you can see but we did not in fact use it for the purpose I suggested.

Actually I've just noticed Johnny Depp is over on the right of the shot, no doubt picking up tips for his spot on the sea shanties album.

Not the only one who bought one under the influence of drink! But it was going cheap (about £7) on the Saturday evening. Ours is now a coffee table.
