Well, we've just finished our sixth pub on the trot in Germany and not before time, I can assure you. Not that we haven't enjoyed it but six gigs in six days is a bit much, in fact the Gomorr just said "Thank god that's over". So as we're on the bus (Noooooooo....) I'll try and get the band to make a few comments on what they made of it all (if I can get any sense out of them), we're playing a game, and as we're out I'll crack on.... I was out first.
And now....

HERE'S RICKY!!!
"The most challenging and mentally taxing tour I've experienced in my many years as a Rocker, I hope we haven't lost too many fans now they've seen us up close! It was fun, but never again until the next time, Thank you and goodnight..."
Best gig....The Stumble Inn Cannock.
Best food.. The Vindaloo at the Ruskin Arms, thank you Jack.

HERE'S RICKY!!!
Here's Frannie!!! HERE'S FRANNIE!!!...
"Quite enjoyable, different routine, There was no possibility of doing a proper show, probably tightened us up as a band, I'd rather do a normal gig, but it was an enjoyable experience overall, and we've learnt a lot from it"
Best gigs..Nacht Leben. Frankfurt, The Hello Cleveland gig, and the Ruskin Arms.
Best food Chicken Tikka at the Ruskin.
HERE'S THE DRUMMER!!! A DRUMMER SPEEKS, NO, REELY, TOTALLY!!
I should point out here that it's getting late, and Jeff is at present about 300 parsecs from the Quezlyx Quadrant, anyway...
"Different..... In fifteen years..."
And that took 35 minutes.
Best gig ?
"Yeah"
That's not exactly fair as Jeff's gagging to watch the end of the video of Casino, so I'll ask him again in the near future.
HERE'S THE DRUMMER!!!
The Fattest member... NEXT...The Fattest member and Banjo owner...
"I really really enjoyed it, I like being able to touch Jeff on the nose whilst playing the organ in fact on more than one gig was able to stroke Francis' ear without losing touch of my organ, which he likes. I've always wanted to play drums, and in Manchester I nearly did!"
Best gigs.. Hamburg, Berlin and Retford
Best grub.. The Frankfurt Falafel and a seafood meal in Amsterdam.
Finally...John Victor Edwards (aged 46)
It's harder than touring, but better than working, the new songs have all been excellent, good Quo standards in the making. One of the good things about the new album is that we could play all of it live if we wanted, which wasn't always the case. The signings were all good, nice to see so many of you.
Best gigs....Amsterdam (we love you, Sette Bello, Bulldog) and Leeds.
Best grub.. Curry from Frankfurt,
Best time, Kerchenhof Tulips (I gave some to Andrew, and he put them in his Keyboards, thus giving him Tulips on his organ...)
John Victor Edwards (aged 46)
Rick's Joke of the day:
A man goes to see his doctor and tells him he has a piece of lettuce sticking out of his arse.
The doctor says " OK, let's have a look then".
When the inspection is finished, the doctor turns to the patient and says
"It's true, you have got a bit of lettuce sticking out of your arse, but I''ve got some bad news. It's only the tip of the Iceberg"
Super Bees, Champions 99!!!!!!! Boom Boom!!!!

..Auf Wiedersehen pets,

Baron von Rhinoceros....

PS Champions!!!!!!!
Since this was written TWFMBFC have won the Third division championship by a comfortable margin, basically showing once again they are the best team EVER, ANYWHERE.
