QuestionIs it too early for a drink?memberNagy Vilmos4-Oct-12 22:03 
I have a little over an hour to prepare myself for the school Harvest Festival. It has always been a pretty big thing in the village and all the parents squeeze into the small church alongside their children. That's ~250 children aged 7-11 along with parents in a small Norman church. My old teacher will be on his organ and the whole congregation will sing out of tune.
 
I'm guessing We Plough the Fields and Scatter will feature at some point.

You own a Church?

Has he not been warned about that?

Sing with gusto and no concept of rhythm and you will get an audition for X Factor.
 

Also, I refer the honourable member to Rule 47a(ii) - It is never too early for a drink

Bottle of Gordons finest in the pocket - check
Extra long bendy straw - check
 
I'm going in, if I'm not back by noon send gin.

just the one bottle of Gin? No backup?

My advice ... get tipsy and sing as load as possible. It'll cheer everyone up! Big Grin | :-D

To convert 9AM from early to late one simply need not go to bed.
In this simple way 9AM becomes very late and it's never too late for a drink.
