Not quite as bad as that . . .

I was in a bar at New Years, many moons ago. There was a live band playing and being rather shit-faced, I asked the guitarist if I could have a shot of his guitar. For some reason he handed it to me. For some other reason, which will never be known to the universe, I started playing the intro to "Smoke on the Water". Then the rest of the band joined in and the crowd starting cheering and dancing.

Only problem is, I only know the intro to "Smoke on the Water". So as the intro ended, I had no choice but to stop and hand the guitar back and just walk away like a complete t**t. Everyone was staring at me.

To this day I can't listen to the song without cringing.

Yeah I'm in . . . I'll even subscribe to your page if you set one up Olly!

John - go to www.facebook.com and have a look around to see if you want to set up a page. It's just a social networking site; you can put up your pictures, send messages to people who are your friends etc. Might be good for you, being an ex-pat. You can catch up with friends and relatives back home.

I can't use the left pinky. I'm sure I heard somewhere that Eric Clapton can't either.
