"Ere, look at this," says my erstwhile pal and avid reader of this once-funny blog, Spikes Walker.The Swiss Toni lookalike hands me a flyer for a stage show, currently touring the South before its transfer to London's West End: Stop Dreamin' - Featuring the Music of Chas & Dave
I am intrigued.
"I am intrigued"
And also somewhat disturbed.
"I am intrigued and also somewhat disturbed"
Hot on the heels of musicals featuring the work of other fly-by-night artists - Queen, ABBA, Bigfoot and the Groincrushers - someone decided it was high time that the East End's most loveable Spurs-supporting geezers had their turn in the spotlight. Starring Minty out of EastEnders, Yvette from Allo Allo, and Mr Bannister from Are You Being Served. And a genuine Doctor Who assistant to boot.
"Hilarity ensues," I read from the flyer. I shall be the judge of that.
"Certain to have you dancing in the aisles." I shall also be the judge of that.
"I shall be the judge of that," I say out loud, in the presence of actual, breathing witnesses.
"But that means," Spikes Walker observes, "you actually having to buy a ticket, travel down to Guildford (Twin Town: Gomorrah) and go and watch the thing in all its Cock-er-nee dreadfulness. And then, if you have retained the will to live, drive home again."
Got me. I shall do none of these things.
He's pretty sharp (oh-ho!) is that Spikes.

All is not lost.
The flyer may make use as toilet paper.
What's next. A stage show using the music of Mr Blobby.
I never knew Guildford was twinned with Gomorrah. Mind you, I'd never heard of Guildford until this morning.
I think we're twinned with some place in Japan.
I have been to Guildford many times. I would have said it was twinned with Sodom.
We're twinned with D'Oh, Oklahoma.
Oh Glaucoma, you mean?
