Prez Says

october 2010

Well, what to say, she was a biggie, Things will never be normal again but I sincerely hope you all get back to usual as soon as it’s possible.

Sue Galvin wrote a great wee song to the tune of Chim Chiminey.

Chim chiminey (post earthquake) Sue Galvin
Chorus
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee!
My chimney’s as buggered, as buggered can be
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-oo!
Grey silt will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
Oh blow me a kiss (from over there), cos I’m wading in poo!

Like the walls of my house I am no longer plumb
And when I’m alone I’ve been sucking my thumb
I’ve developed a rash and I can’t find my cat
And I’m closer to Aussie and I’m not pleased at that

Chorus
[Last line] Oh I’ll vote for Bob, if he’ll fix up my loo!

I went for some counseling through work’s EAP
And I found that the shrink was as knackered as me
She stuck a green sticker on the side of my head
“You’ve passed the inspection; you’re normal”, she said
I wasn’t before, so I’ve come out ahead!

Chorus
[Last line] I’ve got a sore head, I’ve been hit by the flue

Yes the kids think it’s giants and the cranks think it’s pros
That we have to blame for our trembling woes
But if the Lord’s sent us this seven point one
You’d think that we’ve paid for the sins that we’ve done -
Paid more than enough, so go have some fun!

Chorus
[Last line] If the lights will stay on, then that’s lucky too.

Obviously the acts booked for 5th Sept were postponed. It was a great line up too, anyway they have
agreed to come back for us as our last act of the year on December the 12th. Please support them.

At your Festival the Blind date is one of the most popular concerts. We have decided to hold one to
celebrate the Club’s 42nd birthday. Join in they are great fun and if you aren’t a player or singer these
nights are really entertaining. Some class acts often emerge and there are usually some pretty hilarious
moments too.

We have a great line up already booked for next year and some details are in this issue. Remember to
visit the Club web site for up to date information.

Special thanks to the staff and management at the Dux.
Best wishes to you all over the Christmas and New Year period. Come back safely remember we
Cantabrians are survivors.

Thanks for support.
