I'll think of a good title later

Chasing a Chesterfield couch

, ,

Strange day yesterday.

I was really depressed up until the point that I decided to follow the Arthur Dent approach to life:

YES! I WILL GO MAD!!!

:insane:

I went to TWJC in the evening, a couple of guys had come to film me playing with a new toy that they want to market over here. The material they shot is to be used for a promotional/instructional video.

This was quite good fun, the camera crew were certainly impressed with many of the tricks I had come up with. It will be interesting to see how the video comes out.

After the filming we had a commitee meeting. During which the club chair resigned & I was asked to take over the role.

I'm not really sure what a chair person does yet.

TWJC doesn't really take that much organising, I'm going to clean up the administration side of things which consists of keeping lists of attendance, membership details, accounts etc. All of the paperwork side of things was all stored on the old chairperson's PC, if no one could get hold of the chair, info was put on scraps of paper then transferred at a later date. I'm going to make it more generalised & make the details available through the club website, so anyone can get hold of it.

We've only recently started keeping records properly & a lot of the previous stuff is in a bit of a mess too.

Pass the straight jacket...

TWJC Christmas show 2003

, , ,

Last night at TWJC was the annual end of year Christmas party & show. The show is made up of a variety of acts from club members. The amateur nature of each act is compulsory!

This year though we were lucky to have an act from Pearse Halfpenny, a professional performer since time began. He absolutely stole the show. I don't think I have ever heard so many jokes told in such quick succession.

"She said, "do you like my flip flops?"

"For god's sake put your bra back on!" I replied."

My favourite trick that he performed was the one where he had a tray with a tea set laid out on a chequered table cloth. On one corner of the table cloth was a small ring.

He mounted the tray on top of a metre & a half high tripod & balanced the lot on his chin. Then while still balancing the lot he took a pole, reached up & inserted the tip into the ring attached to the tablecloth. Then he whipped the table cloth away leaving the teaset still standing. Very nice.

What a star performer.
