"Drums Please!"

Just in case anyone from the Undercroft security is reading. But seriously, the title does fit in with one of the subjects of this post.
The internet's still down in halls and seeing Jane SY Lee in the library using one of their computers on the way to the radio rooms gave me an idea before I checked in my room.
I'm also rather irritated that I went past the pasta bar in the refectory where they normally serve vegetarian friendly sauces and today when I went past they had a lamb bolognaise which really irritated me as I didn't have any spare bob on me.

On the plus side I made a return visit to the Undercroft where everyone there's OK with me about what happened last night although they were a tiny bit worried about what happened after seeing CCTV footage of the incident showing how aggressive that bouncer was.

It doesn't look as if my DJing days are numbered overall though, as a mate of bar manager Jim Chapman has a band who play 60s and 70s inspired tunes and Jim suggested that my soul set could complement them well if they came to perform. We also had a chat about the James Taylor Quartet and percussionist Snowboy the latter of whom I was lucky enough to see at my first Incognito gig at the forum in November 2005.
On the subject of percussion there was a tribal drum lying about during last night which many people included myself kept mucking about with and even that annoyed the bouncers.

One things for sure, as they didn't succeed in drinking the bar dry, especially with the VKs as I savoured an orange one whilst I was there. If the internet in halls doesn't see any signs of sorting itself out I may make a few more visits to succeed in this rather ambitious aim.
