Terrible news. Word from the Puff Inn tells me that Tuppence, with his newfound enthusiasm for prog rock, has started a band, with none other than Mr Spockfingers (see previous posts - and photo) as lead singer. They've managed to lay their hands/hooves/whatever, on a Moog synthesizer and a couple of coathangers, and are doing covers of Uriah Heep and Spookytooth. Spockfingers has made himself a cape. One of the rats is banging away on a couple of old biscuit tin lids, and another is rubbing his paw round the rim of a jam jar, making a squeaky sound. Another is on backing vocals.
Apparently, Stormy has offered them a gig at the Puff Inn, next Sunday lunchtime, just to see how they get on. As readers will know, the Fulmars are the only folk with electrics hereabouts, so negotiations are afoot with Apsley and Cherry to see if Tuppence and Spockfingers can plug their moog into their generator. We know only too well that said generator has experienced problems in the past (see previous posts - Geoffrey and I accidentally cut the cable when over-refreshed with the purple peril) I only hope that it can cope with the strain.
Viz a viz the Purple Peril - apparently Stormy wants to bring this delightful koktale back, specially for the occasion. However, health and safety - not that we bother much with that Hereabouts) precludes it. Too many people have gone blind/and/or insane.
