I seem to remember somebody on here had a famous snooker playing brother. I cant remember who it was, but they havent posted for quite a while now.

One married Paul Weller, and the other married Martin Kemp from Spandau Ballet.

There was a duo called Milli Vanilli. Neither of them could sing, but mimed to backing tracks recorded by someone else. Unsurprisingly enough, it was the the same bloke from Boney M at it again.

Yes. Chas Smash

Wymondham in Norfolk is pronounced 'Wind am'

Last weekend

Lie Chester Square in London is unpronounceable!

Not really an audition but a few years ago I was asked to play bass for a friend of mines "British Legion" type band. C&W, Rock N Roll etc. The previous drummer had left under a cloud and they got this fella in without even auditioning him. Turns out he played with a friend of a friends band so that was good enough for them. Anyway, this was his first gig with them. The bassist was in hospital having an operation and they asked me as I knew most of the stuff. Anyway we started the first number and it went reasonably well until it came to the ending. I looked at the drummer to give him the nod to end the song. He never looked up from his drums at all. I played some sort of rundown on the bass to end the song and the whole band ended...... Apart from him. All we could hear was :'Tap tap tap tap' from the drums as he carried on oblivious. I will never forget the bemused look on the punters faces as they finished their waltz or whatever it was, to this disjointed drumbeat. It started badly and got steadily worse. Next time they called me, I was 'Busy'

Tom bought my Squier Telecaster. Excellent fast payer and a jolly nice chap to boot. A pleasure to do business with.

As above. I started on bass and learned guitar afterwards. I found it really interesting to hear the sound of the chords major and minor flowing together, and could hear the melody in my head. It made creating basslines much easier once I learned the basics.

I think in all honesty its the end of the road for Fleetwood Mac.

When did Fender stop selling new basses without the ashtrays? I know a lot of players took them off anyway.

Wouldnt you need permission to film? Health and safety etc? Could be a good ending though if the old bill arrive. Brings to mind The Beatles being busted on the roof. Edit. Oops didnt see Petes post above.

On the brighter side, they dont use real tortoises any more
