RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 So, tonight I meet friend and his wife and another person outside brixton academy (chicken foot) I haven't seen him for a few months,and we were catching up on stuff. Then , I had a senior moment and lost my train of thought. The conversation ; friend "I just joined a new band." Me;"wow!great etc." He then explains the band. Then I ask the most ridiculous question"what's the singer like?" Now I don't know how or why I asked such a dumb question.i tried to rectify it by asking if the 2guitarists in his band play differently.the wife thought it was an odd q Heston, and thought I was being Sara stic. She loves me tho.,and I love her too. I think I'm losing or lost the plot.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkonthehill Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I'm missing something here. What's the issue with asking what the singers like?? Seems like a regular type enquiry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingBollock Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 I did something similar once when I met an old friend for the first time in a few years. At one time he was trying to get me to join a band he was putting together. Anyway, I asked him if he was still playing the Guitar. He looked at me funny, went a bit red and said yes. A short while after I remembered that he was the singer and didn't play Guitar at all. Neither of us had been drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurpleblob Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 If you can't talk utter nonsense and then laugh it off without a second thought they, unfortunately, are not really a friend. So, either way, it doesn't matter. Drink responsibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of single words, or phrases set us both off in floods of laughter. He said the other day "if someone was to listen in to one of our conversations, they'd probably come to the conclusion that we're both mad".

ZMech Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Re: the OP, this is what my mates and I refer to as a 'Brain Fart'. If your friend wasn't offended by it, and I can't see why they would be, just move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdwardHimself Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 We all say stupid things to our friends from time to time. I thought my friend had spelt a word wrong when I was FBMing him yesterday and I corrected him but then he hadn't lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The year was 2009. We all do it. It's a slip of the tongue. It's a momentary lapse of reason. (Or one of many other apt song titles!)

Bilbo Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I was with three friends last night at a gig I was playing. Two of us in our late 40s, two in their early sixties. We got talking about a mutual colleague who is dealing with lung cancer. I got into a discussion about prostrate cancer and was waffling on about the issue when one of the older guys says.... 'I've got that'. Now THAT was a pregnant pause Didn't I feel like a git! Actually he confirmed what I was saying to be true. After a few moment, the other 60+ guy says, 'anyway, back to important things; did you like my sound'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayben Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 The OP definitely needs to cut back on the juice! :L I've done plenty of things like that, esp. regarding other bands on the bill while a couple of members are still in the dressing room.. Need to remember to keep my opinions to myself sometimes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaypup Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I was talking to someone I hadn't met before at a friend's party when he mentioned that he's like to be a Mayor one day. At this point I noticed that his hands were shaking. I GENUINELY thought that he was doing a Michael J.Fox impression and told him I thought it was in poor taste. ..Whereupon he informed me (and the 7 other people standing round us) that the shaking was due to the medication he had to take for a serious illness. Scheiser! Another time, while working on the door of a club I told a guy I wouldn't let him in as he'd obviously had enough already, being unable to take the change from me easily and wobbling a bit. That was when he told me he was registered blind, so it was tricky for him to see me offering the change in the dark corridor. I should've spotted the clues as I work supporting people with disabilities! D'oh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
