Got there, there was reserved parking, all full, except for one space right next to the security hut, which had red n white chevron tape across it and a sign that said ‘reserved for band’. I drove through the tape and in to the parking bay, we all jumped out and started running. The Security Guard came out of her little hut and shouted after us ‘good luck! I’ll tell them you’re on your way!’ I think a "Things I once got up to" thread might be a great laugh in OT 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to skip queues and get access to VIP rooms with my mates in Liverpool by telling the bouncer we were the Plastic Cardigans. I think the accent added authenticity. To the extent a bouncer in a place my mate went to quite regularly, recognised us in the queue one night, came down, took us out of the queue and brought us to the front - without us even asking The Plastic Cardigans remain one of my proudest spur of the moment creations to this day. When I was at school, we used to make up imaginary band and album names like that, and one of our favourites - so much so that I remember it to this day - was 'Plastic Dog Cardigan'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Our college band was called The Alternative Vegetables. I hated that name, but it was me that had come up with it and for some reason it stuck. Just too difficult to say. We were later called Spanners and got to the point where we sold tickets for our launch / farewell gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were called (appropriately enough) Famous Last Words. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted June 4, 2021 Moderator Share Posted June 4, 2021 We are obviously not a coffee drinking country. I am rather shocked at some of those results, mainly ours and Spains, or are skewed by Brits on the piss, lowering our beer consumption and increasing theirs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
