Not as such...

Still, all paid for by the company, including me & 2 colleagues being picked up from our homes, delivered to the Hilton & then delivered home again in one of these:

My neighbour was putting her bins out when the car pulled up outside my house & I gave her a casual wave as I got in, fully tuxedo'd up.

I'll need some time though.

Need to learn guitar first.

Now you say that, I suspect he may have been Mr Blackmore in disguise. He even asked us to remove the video of the gig from YouTube because he wasn't happy with his performance.

OK, just started a 12 hour shift monitoring computer systems, anyone fancy joining me to keep me company until 7am tomorrow?

Let's start things off. I've sorted out the music for the party next Saturday but I plan to put some background music on in the non-dancing room. What's the most "out there" track I could get away with without sending everyone screaming for the door? I thought maybe something by Aphrodite's Child?

Try 'Voyage 34' by Porcupine Tree. People may think it's a standard dance mix, but if they then listen to the vocal samples....
