Obviously I know it will never happen, but whereas other people dream about winning the lottery, having a new car or buying the house of their dreams... I dream about being the front woman of a band headlining at glastonbury Grin

I do play in a duo with DP, but so far we've not been brave enough (or able to agree on a set list) to perform properly in public (only in front of friends/family)

I just want to be Robert Plant (but not if he's the one boffing liz jones)

My DP and kids think that I'm a saddo. And they are probably right Wink

Flame me and make me bloody grow up.

I am glad someone has had the foresight to think of rehab places. merely pretending to be a headline act at glasto has made me drink quite a lot of wine. God help us when we get more fame than discussion of the day.

By the way, it's not a flying V uke giyadas. I think though that I now need one to go with my leather trousies (that I'm waiting for MNHQ to buy me)

Can i do the tambourine, like Davy Jones of the Monkees, please?

By the way, I had also planned on doing 'rich kid blues' in our set, but I can't work out the chords to it and they've been removed from the interweb. If anyone knows them I'll give 'em a back stage pass to HamStock.

Actually after second album i'm planning a retreat to see The Dalai Lama.

Think you lot better come too, we're gonna need to find ourselves.

Can there be a Rehab corner in Mumsnet. It would have to be a NetMums kind of thing with;

Sweetheart - you overdosed on Earl Grey, you need a twelve step programme in The Priory.

Can the stage clothes be Boden? And the tour bus be Laura Ashley with a feature wall and cushions.

I want a real fire on the tour bus. Stamps pretty foot.

I also want to get married for three days until management annuls it. To David Bowie.

(I mean not really annuls it in the literal term - I want to shag him first)

giyadas · 30/08/2011 21:37

I've found a bit of rich kid blues here does that help?

upahill · 30/08/2011 21:39

Can I just check - are we all over 27 by any chance?

giyadas · 30/08/2011 21:40

ooh yeah, a rock n roll fling would be good.
Shall we hire extra bouncers to keep Liz Jones away? just to be safe, like.

upahill · 30/08/2011 21:40

I'm going to book our support band 'Thread:deleted' soon.

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 30/08/2011 21:41

upahill · 30/08/2011 21:43

So we are ok.

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 30/08/2011 21:44

Suncottage · 30/08/2011 21:45

Giyads

We need Liz Jones - we may make a fashion faux pas and be the laughing stock of the Daily Mail.

[faints at the thought]

Comes round.

I have lost my Touche Eclat and Unicorn hide handbag. This seasons MUST HAVES!

Faints again.

Can we cover Blondie songs?

RedBlanket · 30/08/2011 21:48

Do you need a backing dancer Bez style?

Oh and I'm very up for being papped falling out of clubs and snogging rival pop stars/Hollyoaks actors/reality TV stars.

Who's going to be the gobby one?

ThePathanKhansWoman · 30/08/2011 21:48

YANBU.

That is what the dark and an iPod and wine is for.

Grab a hairbrush and live your dream!

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 30/08/2011 21:50

Is anyone not going to be the gobby one?

alistron1 · 30/08/2011 21:51

I'll be the quiet, but darkly menacing, one.

ThePathanKhansWoman · 30/08/2011 21:52

Sun Yes! Yes! There can never be enough Blondie in the World.

It'll be like Studio 54 all over again.

GreenEyesandNiceHam · 30/08/2011 21:52

Do we have any siblings?

For that frisson of family tension?

RedOnion · 30/08/2011 21:52

OP - Are you through with standing in line to clubs you'll never get in?
Is it like the bottom of the ninth and your never gonna win?
Has this life not turned out quite the way you want it to be?
