Dag 781: This is not my voice

For some golfing type of reason Jonathan Ross is not on BBC1 tonight so as an alternative they have put Tarrent on TV on ITV instead.

Last week I went into the co-op in East Calder and after choosing my items I joined the queue at the checkout. An old lady in front of me had a £10 note in her hand and her total came to £4.85. She handed over the tenner and the lady on the till said "you haven't got a £5.00 note have you as we have run out".
The old lady said "No sorry this is all I have".
So the lady at the till said "ok I'll have to give you your change in pound coins".
This sent the old Lady into a mild panic and she said "Oh dear, I might have a pound coin in my purse, if I give you that will it help?"
The lady at the till said "no, I need a £5 note".
The old Lady then opened her purse and pulled out 1 £5 note and said "Oh, I didn't know I had that fiver that I did'nae know I had".

I found that so amusing that I thought I would relate it here - of course all of this was said in a Scottish accent.

Tarrent on TV has now finished, but I am not too bothered as Dylan Moran in concert is on soon on channel 4.
I am very much looking forward to watching this as it was the very first program I watched in bed on the TV that we have in our bedroom (and I only caught the end of it first time round).

Paolo and I had come to the conclusion a few months ago that we didn't go to enough concerts anymore so we managed to organise a night out at a gig on Wednesday. We didn't manage to get as many people as we did at our Goldfrapp night out, but we made up for it in the amount of booze consumed.

The chosen gig of the night was at The Caberet Voltaire. It was a special aniversary gig featuring:
The Presets - nice pair of old Korgs
Xvectors - fronted by one of Paolo's drinking partners
The Blackouts - Their first gig, they played really well and were well received.

The night started out with a few Baltikas at the Blue Blazer and then it was onwards and upwards to The Cabaret Voltaire.
Once in the door Paolo and I rushed straight down to the stage while the others hung back. Though once I had refused to buy them a drink after The Blackouts set they soon saw the light and came down to the front to join us for a drink and the Xvectors. They really were good and I will see them again at the first chance I get.
Finally it was The presets who really got the crowd dancing.

I knew it was a good night because I didn't feel good the next day.
