I should point out I wasn’t involved in any way but there was a spare room going in the chalet so thought I may as well have a weekend away.

I was sat in the pub on site earwigging on three lads in their early twenties who appeared to have come for the weekend specifically because the dance schools were going to be there, absolute sex predators

At the end of the weekend the schools put on a bit of a performance in the main auditorium. Beforehand they gather at the other end of the site and have a parade to the theatre, all waving their school banners and flags etc, as per the below photo.



I was berated to join in the parade and I was in a wheelchair at the time, so was given a little flag to wave and pushed along at the front. What those behind me (and my lass pushing me) didn’t realise is that I was doing my best Stephen Hawking impression and much of the applause was for my “bravery”.

Im definitely bound for Hell

No worries, Higgins. Young nephew still loving his snooker, best break 48 at 17. Never going to be a player, but I struggle to win a frame now, though hammer him at pool, 8 and 9 ball.

Taken him to see a Ronnie exhibition, and the old Masters, Davis and Jimmy, before lockdown, he got photos and signed balls. And got three sessions at the Crucible this year. I am the best uncle.

They played brass instruments, and they would slip surreptitiously into the ranks of marching bands during public parades etc, and start playing very loudly and out of time and out of tune, and the rest of the band would quickly descend into chaos.
